A produção do espaço na região do Bairro dos Bancários, João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

This work in broad lines sought to understand how it happens the dynamics of production of space in the region of the banking district, located in the Southern Zone of the city of João Pessoa-PB. In recent decades, more specifically in the past 30 years, the capital city of Paraiba, are undergoing profound transformations in its urban space. The part of the municipality that covered most of these changes was the south-southwest expansion axis, currently the South and West Zones of the city. Space is a product of social relations and the production of this space is a continuous process, once it is produced, but also reproduces through a capitalist logic. We have therefore been able to infer the configurations that have made this region, especially in the last decade, an important link in the most densely populated area of the capital of Paraíba. In addition, observe through the strategies imposed in space, the qualitative transformation of the neighborhood and think of the socially produced space. We call by region of Banking, the region of influence / polarization of the neighborhood comprising the neighborhoods of Anatolia, Garden City University, Garden São Paulo and Banking. This cut was made to better understand the spatial transformations that occurred in recent years in this locality, encompassing the four neighborhoods, popularly known only as Banking. Configuring itself, as a centrality, experiencing an intense appreciation of land use and strong real estate speculation. The methodological paths followed had in their interim, initially some reflections and bibliographical revisions. In a second moment, the accomplishment of some field work, and, in the field trips, surveys of some primary data were carried out. Besides the use of geoprocessing techniques to map some specific objects. Finally, we highlight the notorious insertion of this region within the capitalist logic and a mixture of discomfort and contentment on the part of the population in how space is produced in this region. We had, therefore, as main objective to understand how the space in this place was being produced through the human work for development of activities and satisfactions of the hegemonic agents of the production of the space.
