O papel dos agentes produtores do espaço urbano no bairro Cidade Universitária em Maceió-AL, com ênfase no entorno do Conjunto Residencial Tabuleiro do Martins

Abstract

The municipality of Maceió has been undergoing a pronounced process of expansion of its urban area, displaying characteristics of a differentiated growth in space that occurs in an disorderly, fragmented, and inadequately planned manner. The neighborhood of Cidade Universitária reflects this reality, as in recent years there have been changes that have promoted alterations in territorial organization and in the use and occupation of land by the agents producing urban space. Thus, it is essential to conduct studies that identify and analyze how this process occurs, indicating the main elements modified and the main active agents. The general objective of the present study is to verify the socio-spatial reflections of the changes that occurred in the years 2020 to 2023 in the neighborhood of Cidade Universitária in Maceió- AL, with an emphasis on the surroundings of the Conjunto Residencial Tabuleiro do Martins; and as a specific objective, to identify the socio-spatial changes produced by the State and other agents producing urban space. The methods used were Hypothetical-Deductive and the Dialectical method. The methodology was bibliographical research, conducted in books; newspapers; institutional websites, portals, blogs; websites specialized in publishing scientific articles in journals; academic papers; and field visits. The study indicated as results that, in addition to the action of the State, there was an intensification of the action of Real Estate Developers in the neighborhood, with the construction and launch of residential areas. It is concluded that by analyzing the past and present of the neighborhood and its surroundings and understanding the issues involving Maceió currently, it was possible to understand how modifications in the infrastructure of portions of the neighborhood can create new dynamics and reflect significantly in socio-spatial aspects.
