Sumario:A contribution to de study of the land problem in the arid zones of the Province of Mendoza: Malargüe, 1874-1988. This paper deals, in the first place , with the potentiaIities of a difficult and Limiting natural environment, showing patagonic features. The alternatives of land granting are clear, with strong traces of inequality and latifundium, both alien to colonizing and populating principies. The privatization of public lands in Malargüe enforced by 248 Law of 1902, clearly permissive , as to the price of the land and prior residence and investment in it, gave rise to most of the conflicts over its ownership and affected the rights of the actual settlers , the "puesteros" (about 1.300 in the department of Malargüe). Until 1988, when the cadastre of Malargüe was revised and brougt up to date, changes in the structure of ownership of real state properties had produced neither relevant transformation in the original system on latifundium nor in the traditional ways of tenure and exploitation of the land. Notwithstanding these facts, the cadastre include s a fairl y large number of small and médium property being less than 10.000 hectares. The presente of new owners, some stock companies, f o r example, with new interests and strategies, different from the traditional uses in this area, is also noted. Besides, numerous divisions of the land into parcels and lots have been carried out.
