Abstract

This paper proposes to analyze the effectiveness of the Social Function of Public Property on public real estate and its correlation with the realization of the right to housing of vulnerable social groups from the perspective of guaranteeing the existential minimum and the Social Function of Property as a fundamental duty. For that, concepts and discussions about the housing issue in Brazil will be considered, exemplified by the reality of Salvador / BA and Metropolitan Region, highlighting the socio-spatial segregation and the housing deficit as peculiarities of the urbanization process, the housing issue and of access to urban land and the consequent development of urban social movements in the struggle for housing. It is also tried to analyze the existing conceptions on the Social Function of Property, the conception adopted by the country's legal and doctrinal principles and its foundations, besides proposing the perspective of the Social Function of Property as a fundamental duty, to finally discuss the fundamental right to housing as a social right and its correlation with the right to the city, the existential minimum and human dignity. Finally, considerations are made about the legal nature of public real estate, about the imposition of the social function on them, and the impropriety of the unrestricted constitutional prohibition of usucapir public real estate, with the purpose of reflecting on the extent to which the social function of property is being respected with regard to the disposition of public property for the realization of the right to housing and the right to the city. The research shows that the Social Function of Property is in practice a rhetorical figure in the state action for the promotion of urban development and city management, since the Public Power, as well as the private sectors, is based on the notion of individual property rights and unrestricted, in disregard for the constitutional values enshrined in the Constitution of 1988, including the Judiciary, which follows the civilist and dogmatic tradition under which it was formed and is insensitive to the problem of housing as a social issue. It is argued that it is possible to argue that there is an axiological hierarchy between the norm-principle of the social function and the norm-rule of prohibition of the use of public goods, and that, in case of conflict, the former must prevail, public property fulfills a social function, constituting the special misappropriation of public property, and a proposal for an instrument for land regularization with the purpose of realizing the right to housing, under the guarantee of the existential minimum for a dignified life, and of the right to the city.
