A cidade em disputa: a vulnerabilidade do direito à moradia nas decisões do Tribunal de Justiça de Goiás

Abstract

Two decades ago, the right to housing was incorporated into the 1988 Federal Constitution; however, the housing deficit in Brazil has increased, especially after the global COVID-19 pandemic. This dissertation evaluates the performance of the first instance of the Goiás State Court of Justice (TJGO) in cases related to the right to housing against the Municipality of Goiânia. The research adopts a qualitative approach, characterized as documental research, using content analysis techniques to examine 93 judicial cases. Quantitative data, collected through a Google Forms survey and analyzed in Excel, were used for the analysis and interpretation of the results. The analysis reveals that the first instance of the TJGO tends to favor the interests of the municipal public authorities to the detriment of the rights of individuals residing in public municipal areas. This study contributes to the understanding of the judicialization of housing policies and offers a critical view of how the Judiciary of the State of Goiás has been handling cases related to the right to housing, highlighting the need for better training of legal professionals in urbanization processes to ensure greater legal protection for low-income populations in situations of housing vulnerability
