Estratégias da comunidade do Maracanã no enfrentamento das mudanças após a implantação do programa minha casa minha vida

Abstract

This paper presents the results of research carried out in the Maracanã neighborhood, located in the municipality of São Luís, Maranhão, due to the housing development of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV), in its Environmental Protection Area (APA), seeking to reflect on environmental impacts caused and the strategies used by the residents of the neighborhood community to cope with these changes. The methodological procedures used to gather information were supported by direct observation of changes, locus conversations with former community residents and photographic records. In view of this, it was observed that the Maracanã Community, in the strategic measures adopted to cope with the changes that have taken place, has faced barriers that go beyond the weaknesses of these new practices established among themselves, given that the competent bodies for the resolution of several problems experienced by the residents, are alien to the problem in question
