Aspectos da segregação socioespacial nos bairros atingidos pela extração de salgema em Maceió-AL

Abstract

Socio-spatial segregation is more than just about poor location conditions or under habitability of populations. Its consequences are crucial factors of power relations within a society’s dynamics; due the strong financial status and buying power from upper classes, the ability of choosing and turn city to their wills, make the other social groups spread out in the urban space. This mechanism of c also reflects on how people in lower conditions face social and environmental disasters and many other unforeseen events. The present work points out some aspects of socio-spatial segregation in the city of Maceió (AL), focusing on the urban diagnosis at damaged areas by subsidence resulted from rock-salt (sal-gema) exploitation. Therefore, the methodology is supported by official technical reports and also data survey – produced during Urbanism Project 1 and Urbanism Project 2 disciplines 2017.2 and 2018.1 semesters from Architecture and Urbanism College (UFAL – Universidade Federal de Alagoas) – to elaborate a thematical diagnoses about the neighborhoods of: Bebedouro, Bom Parto, Chã de Bebedouro, Chã da Jaqueira, Mutange and Pinheiro. From the theoretical material produced, thematic maps of the area were created, as well as a Social Vulnerability Index to assess the vulnerability conditions of the population affected by the subsidence, resulting in a Social Vulnerability Map, which served as a basis for the production of the Map of Aspects of SocioSpatial Segregation of Neighborhoods Affected by the Subsidence in MaceióAL. So, the present work pointed out the aspects of urban segregation already formed to stimulate the discussion about how the patterns of the socio-spatial structure found can reverberate in the overcoming (or not) of social inequalities around the subsidence area in Maceió.
