Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the post-occupation process of the houses from "Minha Casa, Meu Maranhão" Program, in Pequizeiro, Belágua, verifying how the peasant is appropriating the new housing. A theoretical foundation was carried out based on the main conceptions which concern the rural, it was sought to understand the peasantry trajectory in the state, how the peasant traditionally lives, how it has inhabited many country territories, identifying characteristics patterns of the peasant housing, also present in Pequizeiro. Along with these concepts, it was made a survey of part of the families participating in the program in the village, through a sample of seven family nuclei, chosen randomly. Were investigated the lifestyle and the living of these people, making the assessment of PMCMM possible, the process of appropriation to the new house, noticing (in)compatibility of the housing with the peasant lifestyle in the region. When analyzing the program, it was sought to understand how the peasant was applied in the village from the beginning, verifying the work of technicians involved in the process, how the hayseed was inserted in the development of the program, wether he or she participated actively or was merely a spectator of actions performed by professionals who have little knowledge of rural reality. At the end of the research, it was analyzed how the Pequizeiro's peasant is appropriating the new housing, and wether it happened in a positive or negative way for the beneficiary. Once known the rural way of living and the beneficiary's needs, it was realized that the house model offered by the program has little to do with the peasant's life from Pequizeiro. For not having voice in the elaboration and execution process of the project, besides the designers' distancing and ignorance in relation of the rural reality of Pequizeiro, major changes were found in some houses delivered, and in others, simpler modifications, made according to the financial resources and to the particular need of each family nuclei, seeking to appropriate the new housing
