Da ocupação ao bairro: Intervenção na ocupação Alto da Boa Vista - Aparecida de Goiânia - Go

Abstract

The production of urban space in Brazil is marked by deep socio-spatial inequalities, resulting from an exclusionary urbanization model and the insuffificiency of effective public housing and urban planning policies. In this context, informal settlements emerge as collective responses to the denial of the right to housing and to the city, forming living territories shaped by social ties, everyday practices, and local knowledge, even while remaining outside the formal city. This study aims to develop an Intervention Plan for the Alto da Boa Vista Occupation, located in the municipality of Aparecida de Goiânia, Brazil, proposing guidelines and actions to support its consolidation as a neighborhood, while respecting its social, territorial, and environmental dynamics. The methodology is based on a participatory process of territorial analysis and intervention, combining theoretical and legal research, physical and social diagnosis, community surveys, and the formulation of urban and design guidelines. The theoretical framework draws on authors such as Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey, Ermínia Maricato, Raquel Rolnik, Philippe Panerai, and Jan Gehl, addressing themes such as the right to the city, informal urbanization, social participation, and human-scale urbanism. The results include proposals focused on land tenure regularization, improvement of urban and environmental quality, strengthening of basic infrastructure, promotion of active mobility, creation of public spaces, and the implementation of sustainable and community-based solutions, such as urban gardens, ecological sanitation systems, and local cooperatives. The study concludes that transforming an informal settlement into a neighborhood goes beyond legal regularization, representing a process of recognition, care, and collective construction of urban space.
