ASSISTÊNCIA SOCIAL EM GOIÂNIA: institucionalidade no âmbito da gestão pública - 1993 a 2003

Abstract

This master s dissertation discusses the main concepts of social assistance at municipal level in the city of Goiânia, the new capital of the State of Goiás, founded in 1933. The conducted research that is part of the dissertation made it possible to identify the process of institutionalization of assistance measures from the establishment of the municipality of Goiânia, the creation of the Municipal Foundation of Community Development (Fumdec), in 1974, and the adoption of LOAS regulation in 1933, and SUAS regulation, in 2003. The study captured the profile and the concept of assistance and interventive actions, denoting the hegemonic and aidoriented conception that can be seen in the relationships, interests and ideology of social classes, in politics and in the actions developed under the so-called primeiro damismo (as duties usually performed by first ladies), with a strong ideo-political updating/reproduction of political conservatism. The analysis shows the institutionalization of the social assistance concept in Goiânia, conceived as a public social policy; under the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, as a Social Security policy, which was homologated by the Organic Act of Social Assistance (LOAS), in 1993, and regulated according to the instruments to ensure the effectiveness and implementation of the Social Assistance System (SUAS), from 2003. The present research focused on the democratic administration of the municipal government of Goiânia, from 2000 to 2004, the systematization of the Project Pra Ninguém Ficar de Fora ( Everybody is Covered ), and the creation of the Municipal Department of Social Assistance in Goiânia (SEMAS), in 2007.
