Abstract

The current process of urbanization of cities challenges researchers to analyze the appropriation of space, as an result of expansion urban cities, as well of the growing demand for goods and services for the satisfaction of people's needs, such as access to water, energy, education, health care, housing, among others. This appropriation of urban space occurs differently among different social groups, while some have access to better infrastructure and locations; others are relocated to poor areas with little or no infrastructure and away from basic services such as schools, day care centers and hospitals. In the city of Campina Grande, it can be observed that the city`s production process occurs so often exclusive and contradictory, because the search for modernization ends up excluding the low-income population of the central areas of the city, "pushing them" to the outlying areas. This process has led to crowded areas with poor infrastructure. This paper aims to conduct a study on the creation and use of urban space in Campina Grande analyzing the real estate Major Veneziano I, in the period between 2010 - 2015. To achieve the proposed objective, the research methods used were bibliography research and qualitative field research using ethnography study and the application of semi-structured interviews with the real state residents and the coach of Municipality`s Planning Department responsible for social work on that place. We found out on the field research that there are some difficulties of the families in relation how to "live" on the real state, because the residential needs of a social infrastructure that enables this population access to services such as health, education, security, access to trade properly and equally, a fact that makes these families to feel in a "isolated" city. There was also the difficulty of adapting the beneficiaries about the new way to "live" in a real state that requires individuals a greater compliance regarding duties and obligations that are needed to their collective well-being.
