SUMMARY:

The process of formation of urban occupations is associated with the accelerated growth of
cities, resulting from periods or historical moments through which these cities passed and the
consequences generated, as an example the exacerbated population growth, which results in
the forced expansion of housing spaces, transforming spaces hitherto rural in so-called
“urban” areas. The study of this is centered on an area of occupation in Santarém, located in
the west of the city, called “Vista Alegre do Juá”, which is an area of urban expansion in
accordance with the Participatory Master Plan of the municipality. It emerged in the context
of the city in 2009, with the intention of expanding housing spaces for people without
financial conditions to acquire their own home through formal means - land market or the
State. Currently, it is the largest urban occupation in Santarém in terms of territorial and
population size, where approximately 5,000 (five thousand) families reside within the limits
of the area that corresponds to approximately 235 (two hundred and thirty-five) hectares.
Families, an excluded social group (CORRÊA, 1989), claim the title to occupied lots, which
would be within the boundaries of Fazenda Salvação, a rural property with indications of
being the result of land grabbing. The general objective of the research is to analyze the
process of transformation of the area where the Vista Alegre do Juá occupation is located
between the years 2010 and 2022. As specific objectives, we will try to: analyze the Amazon
and the city of Santarém as a stage of disputes for space and power, which reveals one of the
multiple faces of the current economic system; to analyze the recent urbanization process in
the city of Santarém/PA, having as a starting point the Vista Alegre do Juá neighborhood; and
to analyze the processes of struggles and claims for space and the right to housing in the city
of Santarém-PA by the residents of the Vista Alegre do Juá neighborhood. To understand the
analyzed reality, we used the ideas of Becker (2005), Gonçalves (2001), Souza (2000), Corrêa
(1989), Lefebvre (1991), Carlos (2007), among other authors that refer to the concepts of
analysis of this research. The research has a qualitative approach, the method used was the
dialectic, which, according to Marconi and Lakatos (2003), considers the facts within a social
context and analyzes the contradictions of the phenomena and the transformations that happen
in society. As a result of the research, the recent transformations occurred in the study area
and in the city of Santarém - PA were identified, the discussion on urban issues in cities in the
Amazon was raised. In addition, this research demonstrates how the city, as a space formed
by different agents, is organized in order to serve different interests, in which the financially
disadvantaged population is often not included.
