Lei da assistência técnica pública e gratuíta: um estudo de aplicação para municípios paraibanos.

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze Law 11.888 / 2008, Law of Public Technical Assistance, which gives instructions about the access to architecture and engineering technical services for population that has an income from 0 until 3 minimum wages, understanding that its effective use can become an important tool in the exercise of citizenship. The research initially rescues the consolidation of the Brazilian housing problems, including the practice of self-build house, as well as all historical formulation process by which passed the aforesaid Law, from initial discussions until its actual publication. Then, a systematic analysis of the major barriers to its use in municipal, state and federal levels is performed. The work continues with the presentation of some cases of application of the law in some municipalities, pointing out examples of good practice as well as some cases of failure, in order to extract, from this survey, important information to underlie future proposals. The research makes an approach to the object of study in the State of Paraíba, where ve municipalities are selected for analysis in situ, with the objective of demonstrating the level of information about the Law 11.888 / 2008. To complement the theoretical framework collected in the survey, it sought the position of the CAU – Conselho de Arquitetura e Urbanismo (Board of Architecture and Urbanism), both federal and state level, to verify which actions could be supported by this Board and how it can subsidize the multiplication of practices or programs of public architecture and Engineering, not only in Paraíba State, but also in the whole national territory. Finally some practical guidelines and conjunctural analysis of the entire panorama presented in this work are outlined. Thus, this dissertation seeks to contribute to the effective application of the Law 11,888 / 2008, in order to that this important Law does not become a dead letter, but an effective instrument to access a constitutional right, what contributes to exercise citizenship and to built a just city.
