Análise das desigualdades socioespaciais na distribuição da moradia em Dourados - MS: apontamentos para a análise de uma cidade média

Abstract

The proposed work is to score some elements that can outline the scenery socio-spatials inequalities in the city of Dourados/MS, through a temporal cut: the 1970s. To this end, we highlight the rise of agro-industrial economy that came to consolidate the city of Dourados in average condition, providing important influence to its surroundings, factor that triggers in significant relationships of interdependence. Thus, from the 1970s, the forms of production, appropriation and use of urban space of Dourados reinforce the process of socio-spatial inequality. To the extent that raises the price of land, the conditions of use will be subordinating to forms of capitalist ownership, leading the city to be "invaded" by the need for expanded reproduction of capital, which appropriates and tries to outweigh the need of use and reproduction of life. This is the logic that determines the differentiated access to land in inner city, where private property imposes its conditions of exchange and accumulation, to the detriment of a spatial production which prioritize usage relations. The city, both material and immaterial product, is the representation of contemporary ambitions of an uneven and contradictory model of society. Inherent in the production of space is the capitalist mode of production, which selects, retains and appropriates space as a commodity, subordinating the functions of use by exchange, handling the politics of production and consumption of space to private interests. However, we analyze the unequal production of city space of Dourados, taking as object the issue of housing, in an attempt to rescue the daily life, the experiences and the difficulties of those who are in town, but seem to have no right to it, living the "margins" of the production process of the space.
