SEGREGAÇÃO URBANA EM GOIÂNIA E OS JOVENS DA VILA CORONEL COSME

Abstract

This work talks about life conditions of the young people that live in segregated spaces of the city of Goiânia, taking as reference Coronel Cosme s neighborhood. Who are these Young? How do they live? What are their lives Project? What is their organization in that neighborhood? These questions guided me to know better their life way and the space where they live with their family. The objective of this work is to catch the ways of surviving and the organization used by youth, in a reality marked by a politic that provokes urban segregation that has its origins on the planed capital-city construction on the thirties. The presence of workers has the goal to build the city for others to live. These reflections confront the right of housing established by the Universal declaration of the human rights and by the Federal constitutional of 1988. The perspective to search the urban space by the area of ownership has close relation with the life conditions of the popular classes explored by the capitalist relations, with the connivance of the state. In this scenery we try to show how the low finance class young people live, comprehended as a historical category built up and also socially determined. This work shows the reality lived by the young, inside the poverty and violence, as a consequence of the absence of the democratic State and also by the effective presence of the drugs traffic and the violence of the police. From this reality, there are others relations like: protection, income security, threats, arrestments, death, extortions and other practices that are in everyday s life of those families. The investigation process shows an abandoned youth, hostage of the personal and social violence and the misery that is the reality of this population, in a way that the spaces are determined by the speculative character of the housing capital, inside the cities organization. In this context even the land and the housing are commodities, disconnected of the idea of social right built by the fight of the workers. All this reflection is just a contribution in the way of showing the reality how young worker organize their lives, their fights, their dreams forward life projects that are connected to work, studies, the autonomy and their right of a dignified life.
