Habitação de interesse social no Brasil: obstáculos e complexidades a partir da análise do conjunto habitacional Parque das Águas em Juiz de Fora - MG

Abstract

The undergraduate thesis here presented addresses the subject of social housing, focusing on the Public Program titled Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida (loosely translated to My House, My Life), through the analysis of one of its housing complexes. The object of study in question is the biggest example of the program in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, called Parque das Águas. The aim of this paper is the better comprehension of the Program and mainly, the better understanding of the housing complex in question, in order to identify its flaws for posterior elaboration of a project that seeks to placate said failures. This study came about through literature review, primary and secondary data exploration and the elaboration of maps that allowed for the comprehension of the urban features of the site, as well as how the appropriations by the residents took place in addition to the subsequent interventions. At last, it is concluded that Parque das Águas repeats the current molds of the Program by not contemplating the concept of housing in its fullness, keeping to providing buildings of dubious quality in segregated locations, which leads to a difficult access to public transportations, low offering of diverse uses, services and urban equipments, in addition to poor infrastructure and urban quality.
