To carry out the study, 140 semi-structured questionnaires, composed of 13 questions related to the perception of the residents of the locality about the Rural Environmental Cadastre (CAR), were carried out. On-site visits with qualitative and quantitative observation were carried out, leading to the formation of informative graphs, the discursive responses formed important data for the research results. It was verified that the CAR will only have the expected effectiveness in the locality under study, when it is implemented in conjunction with other policies and incentives to producers, since it is a document that must be part of everyone's knowledge, since in the town of Vereda da Porta the residents are not aware of their real importance to real estate, making this a region that does not contribute and does not have the benefits offered.
