Although Brazilian Quilombolas possess specific land rights referring to their past as African slaves, the realization of such rights often fails due to the absence of land surveys, clarified institutional competencies and the general lack of power under which minorities suffer. Additional factors such as an expanding commercial agriculture contributing to land and water degradation and new actors introducing new logics intransparent to traditional populations often aggravate the situation. In order to identify options for traditional populations to overcome a development-deadlock typical for peripheral regions, the case of a Quilombo in Pará/Brazil will be analysed that has been struggling since decades with conflicting land tenure legislations and institutions. Starting from an inter- and transdisciplinary qualitative research process, scenario building by backcasting can represent an innovative approach to organize the central conflicts which have to be solved in order to overcome the development deadlock of the Quilombo Vila Formosa in Pará.

尽管巴西基隆博拉斯拥有特定的土地权，称其过去是非洲的奴隶，但由于缺乏土地调查，澄清的机构能力以及普遍遭受少数群体影响的权力，实现这些权利往往失败。其他因素，例如扩大土地和水源退化的商业农业，以及引入传统人群不透明的新行为者的新角色，常常使局势恶化。为了确定传统人群克服边缘地区典型的发展困局的选择，将对巴西帕拉州的基隆博案进行分析，该案例自数十年来与土地权属立法和制度相抵触以来一直在挣扎。从跨学科和跨学科的定性研究过程开始，
