Abstract

The many interventions in urban areas in degradation in any large metropolis have been the object of a number of studies and discussions, by means of which it is aimed to find ways of reducing the condition of both social and physical degradation, represented by slums or shanty towns. By intervening to recover areas informally occupied, several strategies of social promotion through integrated actions have been put into practice. Some of those stand out nationally, such as "Programa Ribeira Azul", implemented by the State of Bahia in the city of Salvador, in partnership with domestic and foreign organisms. This thesis describes the integrated Programme in question in Salvador, where one of the worst and most degrading forms of dwelling persists: houses on stilts. This work also highlights the power of people from such areas to overcome the difficulties of access to infrastructure and basic social services, people who strengthened their organizational bonds so as to create ways of minimizing their everyday problems; together with the authorities in charge, they develop projects to improve their quality of life. The experiences throughout and the forms of partnership which fortified the community organizations, as well as the process of social development in the area, are also presented.
