Property and appropriation in the neighborhood of Pinheirinho - Alfenas/MG

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the property and appropriation associated with the production of space in Pinheirinho neighbourhood - Alfenas/MG. The investigation about the production os space requires mobilization in triads based upon categories and concepts. The triads allow us in interpretating the relationships between production and reproduction in the neighborhood, highlighted by the strong presence of the real estate sector and the State, which take action for valorization of urban land. Another aspect that was revealed was the use at the level of survival of the residents. The methodological procedures adopted are based on bibliographical review; semi-estructured based interviews by the neighborhood’s residents and surroundings, councilors, mayor, city officials and merchants; statistical data survey, cartographic and photographic.
