CIDADES FRAGMENTADAS NA AMAZÔNIA: A SEGREGAÇÃO RESIDENCIAL ESPONTÂNEA EM BOA VISTA – RORAIMA – BRASIL

Abstract

The spontaneous residential segregation is reflected through several actions promoted through the so-called "real estate developers", who are called agents producing urban space. Thus, the spatial outline of this study consists of an area that covers part of the neighborhoods: Cauamé, Caçari, Cidade Satélite, as well as part of BR-401 and RR-205 in Boa Vista. In this sense, the research aimed to understand the process of spontaneous residential segregation, from the implementation of horizontal condominiums closed in Boa Vista-RR and surroundings. Regarding the methodology, the steps established to reach the proposed objective were: bibliographic survey, documentary research, in addition to on-site visits. It was conceived that closed horizontal condominiums further drive this segregation model mentioned above, since the purchasing power of the wealthier social classes allows them to reside in high-standard housing models with their social counterparts.
