Abstract

One of psychosocial factors determining the sense of insecurity are called the incivility that is a central theme in understanding the phenomenon of urban violence, once that occurs by living in harmony breaks that signal a break with social norms and values. Formed as the "enemy" of citizenship, especially with regard to community ties housing, incivilities affect also the expectations of cohabitation and social pacts that pervades human relations. The phenomenon of urban violence has been based on the theory of social representations, considered as a functional view of the world, allowing the individual to the group and give meaning to their behaviors and understand reality through their own system of references, and adapt and find a place in this reality. This dissertation builds on the previous project funded by CAPES / Cofecub, "Systems of Symbolic Mediation of Violence in Schools", whose aim was to understand how the phenomenon of incivility is and verify the relationship between incivilities and feeling of insecurity in the context of social representation of violence on residents of the municipality of Goiânia, as well as teachers and students from schools in Goiânia. And to this end, it was used data from three studies, funded by FINEP and CNPq, in different historical contexts and methodologies from the questionnaires in residents of Goiânia, teachers and students of public schools, also the city of Goiânia . The results indicate that the issue of incivilities are perceived by residents associated with the clutter of urban spaces, indicating thereby the difficulty of both the informal institutions, such as family, as the formal ones to deal with this phenomenon and in the case of the State, in fulfilling the promises of social integration. In the school context, otherwise, it was noticeable that both the students and teachers recognized the schools as violent places, as well as the existence of incivilities, compromising the relationships between people constitute these spaces. It concludes one must reassess the research instrument of the second study to improve the verification of the relationship of incivility and sense of security, enhance the public spaces of coexistence become a necessary alternative to reverse the landscape of myth and trivialization violence, suggesting that there be established a concept of citizen security, fostering citizenship.
