RESUMO

This dissertation discusses the social and space dynamics of Paraisopolis Slum, in Sao Paulo, located among mansions and high-level condominiums at the Morumbi burgh. We will study State, Civil Society and Third Sector s attitudes towards this dynamic, trying to relate these three agents. As the State reveals itself unable to supply all the needs of the population, the Third Sector, then, offers services which should be State s duty, like health and education. Civil Society has to ask for these services, offered either by the State or Third Sector. This substitution of the State occurs due to a neoliberal tendency of substitution of the State by the Market also in the sphere of public services. Tax reduction policies are offered to the companies, but these services will not be accessible to all the population, causing segregation. We will observe that in Paraisopolis there are many social projects being developed in order to improve its population s quality of life, but many times the citizens do not have an active participation on these projects and end up just making use of the services provided. There is no research to know which area needs more help. The companies, as a result, have a power upon the use of the territory much greater than the State, which should be in control. Therefore, Third Sector has been raising its activities in the country due to the State s growing absence. Such growth can be verified by the data shown in this paper. Through the field work performed it was possible to verify the physical conditions of the slum, like the site of the constructions and layout of the houses (brickwork or wood, one, two or three floors, etc.), the dwellers reports and impressions about the place they live, the commercial area, the dynamic of people s moves in its interior and surroundings, the discussions inside the Paraisopolis Multientity Forum, etc. Another point approached is Sao Paulo s urbanization and the arise of slums with an analysis of their localization in the city, the years they arouse and the difficulty of access to land and habitation by the poorest population, contributing to the horizontal occupation of the city
