This article aims to reflect on the existing land conflicts in the municipality of Anapu (PA). It is a municipality formed in the 1970s, with the opening of the Transamazônica highway (BR230), which was promoted by the Brazilian government through of ordering actions and incentives for the production of the territory of this municipality. The guiding hypothesis of the research is that during this process of territorial structuring, strategies and actions contributed to the formation of spaces of conflicts in the country. With the research it was possible to verify that the public policies and actions promoted contributed to the formation of the territory with productive systems based on the concentration of the land and the accumulation of capital, generating social inequalities and spaces of conflicts in the municipality of Anapu, PA.
