Mobilidades em um novo contexto : o reassentamento involuntário de famílias

Abstract

The process of removal and resettlement experienced by families participating in public interventions, such as the Vila Viva Program in the Aglomerado da Serra, represents in itself a first scale of mobility. Mobility is not limited to studies of transportation, but is understood as a socially produced movement, with the interdependence between different forms of movement and the different bodies that move - people and materials. These bodies connect with places to perform daily activities, interconnected by fine networks. The multiple connections through the journeys of mobile individuals organize and structure social life. In addition, meaningful social practice is rather a decision based on the social networks of the individual, with meanings of the movements. An important component of mobility is accessibility, which implies a second scale of displacement of families who have been resettled; it portrays how urban goods are organized in space and how people can reach them, in a reference to the places where the housing complexes of the Vila Viva Program are located and their way of insertion into the territory. The mobilities of these families in everyday life in terms of the way they walk, associating the small spaces that have been transformed and the practices of displacement in these new spaces configure another scale of the process initiated by public intervention. These three scales of movement pass through the relationship between the resettlement process and the mobility practices of the participants of the Vila Viva Program in the Aglomerado da Serra. To understand this relationship, interviews were conducted with these families based on a selection based on the location of the housing complex and the family arrangements. The qualitative interviews counted on the drawing of the paths of the individuals and the filling of time-space journals. The transformations found are complex since the trajectories of the individuals and their families are not linear and their experiences of mobility depend on several elements that go beyond the scope of the dwelling.
