Abstract

Protagonizing the homeless in public places in the city of Santarém Pará, means showing that the city within the guidelines of the capital is so exclusive that it denies the right to the city of individuals who suffer from the lack of decent housing combined with others personal issues, and that these subjects go through a process of marginalization as a result of the lack of public policies, revealing the phenomenon of homeless people that emerges in the midst of the chaos of the city, making common spaces local living spaces, refunctionalizing these environments collective use to meet their demands and ensure their permanence and survival. Awaken the geographic gaze to this urban dynamics that few are interested in researching and thus lead these men and women who suffer from invisibility and structural prejudice. The main objective of this research is to expand the view that people living on the streets maintain fundamental relations with the urban space. The field visits, in addition to the interviews that culminated in the data that supported this research, also touched on the human and sympathetic gaze towards these subjects who got used to living oblivious to any interest. Invisibility makes this phenomenon perpetuate in the face of a complex set of adversities that gains more and more proportions when they are not appreciated by the scientific view, reinforcing the process of segregation that denies dignified conditions of life for a significant portion of the population living outside any social benefit.
