Análise crítica das falhas no processo de desapropriação promovido pela Prefeitura de Belo Horizonte : estudo de caso da Vila Arthur de Sá

Abstract

This study examines the impact of expropriations carried out by the Belo Horizonte City Hall in Vila Arthur de Sá, located in the União neighborhood, Northeast region of the city, due to the construction of Via 710. The research explores the issue of housing informality and its social and economic consequences for the affected residents. The methodology includes documentary research, literature review, and qualitative analysis, with semi-structured interviews conducted with residents. The literature review covers urban studies, real estate appraisal literature, public policies, and relevant technical standards such as ABNT's NBR 14653-02:2011, which establishes guidelines for real estate valuation. The results show that the expropriations were conducted arbitrarily, without clear real estate appraisal criteria, resulting in inadequate compensation and forcing residents to relocate to distant areas, exacerbating social exclusion. The analysis of the interviews reveals the residents' perception of a lack of transparency and participation in the expropriation process, as well as the negative impact on their quality of life and housing security. The research points to the need for a fairer and more equitable urban management, suggesting measures to ensure the right to decent housing and effective civil society participation in urban planning. The conclusions emphasize the importance of inclusive public policies that respect residents' rights and promote transparency in expropriation processes. The study recommends the implementation of clear and fair criteria for real estate valuation and compensation, as well as the creation of mechanisms for public participation and social control. This research contributes to the debate on urban management and human rights, offering insights for the formulation of more equitable and sustainable policies.
