Settlement residents merged legal project associations with their existing communal body

Evidence

Actually, the association is part of the settlement. So, the people who live in the settlement came together to pursue a project-they needed to have an association, an organized group. It needs a CNPJ [tax ID number], everything in order. So, actually, the settlement merged together with the association. The association and the settlement are the same thing. (Settlement 1, man, 30-40 years old) The success of institutional aggregation varied significantly across settlements based on the robustness of their existing institutions and their access to other supporting groups, such as the MST and Agricultural Workers’ Unions. — Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, Institutional Bricolage and Commoning…, 117
