Abstract
The promulgation of the “City Statute” (Estatuto da Cidade – Law n. 10.257/2001),
the creation of the Ministry of Cities and the institutionalization of the National System
on Social Interest Housing, which defined norms and procedures for the regulation
and implementation of the new National Housing Policy initiated the consolidation of
a new regulatory parameter on the policy of social interest housing in Brazil. In this
context, and aiming to develop the planning of actions in the local sphere, the federal
government has stimulated the towns to the elaboration of the respective Local
Planning on Social Interest Housing (PLHIS, acronym in Portuguese), from a
methodology created by the Ministry of Cities, which is based on the social
participation. This work aims to analyze the recent process of formulation of the
PLHIS, and has as case study the PLHIS of Camacã/BA – a town which has a
population of 31.472 inhabitants, located in southern Bahia. It evaluates this planning
instrument, in the sphere of the housing issue, in relation to the suitability of the
methodology posed to small towns, as to the proper management of the problems
related to the socio-spatial inequality and, above all, to the housing issue in the town.
In order to accomplish this goal, it is used a methodology which focuses in
quantitative and qualitative research. In the first case, it comprised the bibliographic
and data research in official statistical agencies, as well as the analysis of legislation
and official documents. With respect to the qualitative research, interviews were
conducted with the local Secretariats which are involved with the policies on social
interest housing, the local experts and representatives of the pro-housing social
movements. It aimed to identify, in a broad perspective, the understanding and
participation of these individuals regarding the process of formulation of PHLIS in the
town. The results show that it is still inadequate the structure of Camacã to deal with
the requirements defined by the PLHIS. Besides, the popular participation has to be
enlarged so that provided answers actually match the population needs. It is also
noted that it is essential a real commitment of the public power so that PLHIS can
become a tool which really deals with the housing problems in Brazil. In this way, it is
aimed to contribute and provide important subsidies to the understanding about the
process of elaboration and implantation of the Local Planning on Social Interest in
small towns in Brazil and, specially, in Bahia
