Abstract

This dissertation examines the precarious housing in small cities Pará, based on the analysis of slums eight cities Pará (Aveiro, Anapu, Sao Jose do Porphyry, Curionópolis, Eldorado dos Carajás, São João do Araguaia, Faro and plates). For this study we analyzed the Local Plans of Social Housing (PLHIS / PA) prepared by local governments in partnership with the Society of the State of Pará Housing. The study relies on theoretical frameworks on the issue of housing in Brazil and Amazon, the complexity of the urbanization process in the Amazon, aspects of the concept of small towns and even on the precariousness of housing in small towns in Para, with an emphasis on analysis of slums. The theoretical and methodological approach developed in this research is based on the dialectical method of social theory of Marx, and the methodological procedure bibliographic and documentary. The results show that the situation of precarious housing in small cities studied Para is related to the inclusion of the region in socio-territorial division of capitalist labor, and has worsened due to the high rate of poverty, income concentration and the state role focuses on the production of physical and social infrastructure in cities that earn income to capital, relegating to the background small towns. The data obtained in this study reveal the precarious infrastructure, with the strong presence of rural households, housing deficit and a high number of families living in slums in the cities selected for the study.
