Precariedade habitacional e as Zonas Especiais de Interesse Social - ZEIS: definições e aplicações em Salvador

Abstract

The complex Brazilian housing precariousness has its formation grounded in the segregationist historical process of formation of Brazilian society. Without the proper public interventions, this reality triggered some ills, one of which was social and urban vulnerability, the result of exclusionary urban planning and management policies. And as a Brazilian reality, this tragic situation would not fail to affect the Salvadoran population. The Special Social Interest Zones are a type of zoning that aims to alleviate this social disparity. According to a survey, this population residing in ZEIS areas in the capital of Bahia reaches the quantitative of more than half of the population, being inserted in areas with precarious housing conditions and without land regularization. Thus, in this dissertation we will discuss the format of this precariousness in the municipal scenario, using the tool of cartography and geospatial data, with the objective of understanding the scenario of housing fragility in which the inhabitants of Salvador find themselves.
