After enjoying their new lwtters about Fairness, let me give you our recent
studies and paradigms to compliance issues addressed in our country, in the
last 5 decades.

 

As cities have grown, as well as the paradigms of research on urban
problems.

The urban problems of Brazil became more complex over recent decades, and
the FAPESP, throughout its 50 years, funded the work of researchers who
revealed this transformation. 

 

In the Decade of 1970 studies have pointed to the peripheries of cities as a
territory strongly hit by migratory waves and driven out of the presence of
the State uniformly.  The current paradigm of research shows that they have
become heterogeneous, are dealt with public health services and education,
albeit with uneven quality, but that compromise the life of its residents
with transportation disabilities to name one example.

 

Another paradigm shift is the ability to gather data about cities and use
them, with the help of computer resources, to generate new knowledge and
applications to society. "The mass of data available today is gigantic and
allows making far-reaching studies. Not long ago the researchers were forced
to restrict the search target because of the difficulty of collecting data "

 

The CEM is headquartered at Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento
(Cebrap), the institution responsible, in the 1970, for fundamental urban
sociology studies.

 

Analysis of the data from the 2010 census compared with 1980, 1991 and 2000
shows a complex situation. "The worst conditions of urbanization did not
reach the poorest municipalities necessarily.Insecurity affects more the
Metropolitan fringes, on the outskirts of where the richness and the largest
dispute by urban land, a process of unregulated occupation that continued
operating in recent decades.", says Raquel Rolnik, Professor at the
Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da USP.

 

Among the most important studies of CEM, a highlight is the map of social
vulnerability, using census data and geoprocessing techniques for mapping
poverty in São Paulo. Released in 2004, the Cartographic map had as basic
source Census 2000 and produced a mosaic of the situation of each of the 13
thousand sectors of the city established by the IBGE, managing to capture
specific situations of vulnerability in groups of 300 to 400 families in
each sector aggregate censitário.

 

"The map was important to show that the income is a limited variable to
define poverty," says Marta Arretche. "It was clear that access to services
and public facilities, among several factors, can lead to situations of
vulnerability very different two families who have the same income," he
says. 

 

Another relevant study was coordinated by Algerina Figueiredo,  politician
scientist, the first Director of the CEM. Surveys were held in São Paulo,
Salvador and Rio de Janeiro with 40 samples of the poorest people. "They
showed that the poor have universal access to health care and education,
regardless of their income. Access to services is not related to
clientelísticos criteria, "says Marta Arretche.
