Aspects about the urban precarity on the neighborhoods of Itaberaba and Joao Paulo II in Juazeiro (BA)

Abstract

The neighborhoods of Joao Paulo II and Itaberaba are located in the southern part of the urban area of ​​Juazeiro da Bahia, Brazil. The its residents' profile consists of low mean income people, migrants from other municipalities, with a large list of social demands for improvements in quality of life. In 2014, the project, "Building up the Right to the City from the Neighborhood", developed by researchers of the Federal University of the São Francisco Valley, it aimed to construct locally contextualized forms of action against processes that restrict the right to the city by a fraction of the population of Juazeiro. Understanding that the social use of space usually relegates lower income populations to areas with greater structural precariousness in urbanization, the project sought to understand the subjective appropriation of the neighborhood's space as a theoretical basis for intervention. This work is a synthesis of the results found and promotes a comparison between the areas of performance.
