EXPERIÊNCIA E REPRESENTAÇÃO DO ABANDONO E DO ARRUINAMENTO DO BAIRRO JARAGUÁ EM MACEIÓ/BRASIL

Abstract

The geographic study of a spatial clipping, from the city of Maceió, State of Alagoas (BR), deals with the abandonment and ruin of built spaces. The purpose is to understand how people experience and / or represent the abandonment and ruin of the Jaraguá neighborhood, institutionalized as a Special Zone of Cultural Preservation. In spite of being a zone of cultural preservation, abandoned spaces such as houses, houses, warehouses and other built forms are perceptive in the eyes of the observer. The problem instigated us to understand: how do people experience abandonment and ruin? Thus, through a phenomenological approach in Geography, narratives of residents and technicians of public and private agencies located in the neighborhood were used to report their experiences. It is concluded that abandonment and ruin are manifested as a discontinuous process, with evidence of an uncertain future for those who are "absent" and present in the neighborhood.
