A configuração da segregação e seus efeitos sobre Salvador

Abstract

The production of urban space is a matter debated for decades by several scholars. Within this sphere, the dissemination of the construction of the territory implies consol idated or emerging urban tissues, which present discontinuous or dispersed patterns. The configuration of objects in the landscape and their behavior in spatial dynamics are of great relevance for a better understanding of space. Understanding the dynamics of the city and society results in understanding the morphology and characteristics of cities, as well as their production and producing agents. With this, one of the phenom ena that mainly affects underdeveloped cities is socio-spatial segregation. This study aims to investigate how the configuration of socio-spatial segregation can influence on the relationships between distinct groups and social classes in Salvador. Based on this premise, it seeks to perform spatial analysis, using space syntax and socioeconomic analysis as a tool, based on the construction of a socioeconomic indicator. The results allow a visualization of how the different patterns of configuration and movement, and the characterization of socioeconomic sectors reveal the form of segregation, unequal and heterogeneous about the city of Salvador.
