A PRIVATIZAÇÃO DOS ESPAÇOS PÚBLICOS EM GOIÂNIA: O CASO DAS PRAÇAS.

Abstract

The privatization of public goods can have multiple understandings. However does the most punctual is the passage of good public right to an essentially private good. Regarding the public squares, this phenomenon occurs both in the light of Law, where the state by virtue of their prerogatives donates the squares, and illegally, though, if studied with the government contribution. Thus, this work aims at the comprehension of public spaces privatization process nowadays. In this context, our research was conducted in three places in the city of Goiania, in an attempt to reveal the mechanisms used by the State in the transformation of a good common use in private equity. Therefore, this work is based on the study of public space for the production of capital. The pretext of urban development, public squares are being decimated. Now fractionated, now suppressed, now privatized. In Goiania, a number of squares that privatized. The public squares are usually located in the central points of the neighborhoods, being object of fierce local real estate speculation, clearly demonstrating the lack of state control over public spaces in Goiania, and also revealing the inapplicability of the Master Plan, regarding the urban planning. A phenomenon seen in 1950, when the state (before solely responsible for urban installment) gave local business pressures. Given this situation, it is increasing in the city, new ways of living and leisure, such as shopping centers, residential and others. Thus, the lack of patrons in public areas, can compromise severely the existence of the squares and the privatization of squares is by far concern because it disrupts social relations, with the quality of life of a group, and transforms public spaces in goods.
