Os fatores de socialização na apropriação dos espaços em conjuntos habitacionais: uma abordagem das relações de apego e desapego ao lugar

Abstract

The Minha Casa, Minha Vida housing program has reached a significant portion of the low-income population, helping millions of people achieve the dream of home ownership. However, the action of capital engendered during the execution of the program means that important prerogatives of housing policies are not fulfilled, thus triggering a series of problems that culminate in distances, breaking social bonds, difficulty in forming new bonds and loss of share capital. Thus, this research analyzes the relations of coexistence and the construction of bonds in the Housing Complex Nova Switzerland. To this end, a bibliographic investigation on the topic and an empirical study were carried out at the Nova Suica Housing Complex, in the city of Montes Claros (MG), through interviews with residents. What was found was that the Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program is restricted to offering only the guarantee of housing as a physical element, but with regard to the social concerns of these residents, such as the location of the complexes in urbanized areas, with public facilities and commercial establishments, elements that are so essential for building social bonds and forming sociability, the New Switzerland Housing Complex does not have. The lack of these elements leads to problems such as the removal of bonds established in the old address, difficulties in the formation of new bonds in the new location and, consequently, the difficulty in building social capital, an important element for the social and economic development of these families.
