SUMMARY:

In the city of Maceió-AL, as in many other capitals, homeless people live essentially

in public
spaces in the city center, that is, in squares, sidewalks, under bridges, bus stops, etc.
These
people have totally different perceptions of the urban space, precisely because they
are not
domiciled people and have the need to find shelter on the street, thus, urban
inhabitants who
have a fragile relationship with space. According to Decree No. 7,053, of December
23, 2009,
homeless people are a heterogeneous population group that has in common extreme
poverty,
fragile or broken family ties and the lack of regular conventional housing. However,
even
without having possession of the land, homeless people establish relationships with
space, since
they inhabit and circulate in certain parts of the city, would they be establishing
territory?. It is 

a multidimensional phenomenon, as there is an overlap of aspects and particularities
intrinsic
to the contexts in which they occur. From the bibliographic review, it is clear that
there are few
studies from a geographical perspective on the aforementioned theme, as well as
there are many
gaps in relation to censuses and demographic surveys, which makes it difficult to
formulate
effective public policies. In 2020, the Maceió Social Assistance Department
announced that
more than 3,000 people were homeless in the urban area of the municipality, so that
about 1,000
of these people are concentrated in the Centro neighborhood. The Homeless
Population (PSR)
perceives the dynamics of the city and in order to survive, they often tend to focus on
areas that
favor economic activities, in order to perform work of a different nature and even
begging. The
areas of the city that most significantly provide opportunities for hygiene, food and
safety issues
will effectively concentrate this population segment. Therefore, the city of Maceió,
and, more
specifically, the Centro district, are characterized as the empirical field of this
research. In order
to investigate the increase in this phenomenon in Maceió, as well as the use and
occupation of
public space by People on the Street, a participatory research approach was carried
out in the
units of the Specialized Reference Center for People in the Street Situation and in the
center
itself. urban area, in order to interpret, reflect and analyze the data obtained. Thus,
from the
observation of the functioning of the social equipment, access to reports, forms of
care
performed and later tabulation of data, it was found that in the last two years there
was a
substantial increase in PSR in Maceió.
