Interface de avaliação da produção contra-hegemônica de moradias: o caso da autogestão de belo horizonte

Abstract

This work deals with housing estates of social interest produced in a self-managed (autogestão) regime in the city of Belo Horizonte (BH), Minas Gerais, between 1996 and 2012. Although they originated from different public initiatives and programs, these experiences have in common, to a greater or lesser extent degree, popular participation based on inclusive and democratic practices in access to the city for the production of decent housing. Thus, these housing estates constitute a wide field for analysis and diagnosis of the technologies here called counter-hegemonic. Therefore, based on the case study of one of the housing estates, this work presents and discusses an interface developed for the analysis of the self-managed production of houses present in Belo Horizonte. Among other aspects, the interface provides instruments for the critical perception of the housing production arrangement, with a focus on the quality of space and construction. Thus, we seek to evidence the history of residents’ involvement with the social housing movements; their degree of autonomy in decisions about productive arrangements (planning, design and execution of works); opportunities for professional qualification and community actions developed after the construction of the housing.
