Uma análise geográfica da violência urbana em Aroeiras - PB e sua influência na apropriação territorial.

Abstract

Violence has been designed as a major urban problems, because it interferes directly in people's daily lives. In recent decades we witnessed a huge increase of the violence, both in the largest and busiest cities as in the smaller ones. The difference of this spread of violence is that in the most developed cities there are a high investment in vigilance and actions of inhibition and control of violence, while in the smaller ones the concern of these investments by the government is lower, and this is one reason that facilitates the flow of violence, or the agents of it to the small cities, or from Brazil's interior. This increase in violence causes a change in lived spaces, due to the feeling of fear and insecurity of the people. Are small cities like Aroeiras-PB that impress by their growth of violence, especially murders, and by changing the routine of residents impacted by the fear of violence. It was on this basis that we chose to develop a focused research to analyze the influence of rising violence in the city of Aroeiras and their socio-spatial repercussions. For the realization of the work, we did a literature review complemented by a case study with interviews to some city residents.
