The favelization process occurred as a result of urban swelling due to the intense rural exodus and immigration in world cities, specifically in Brazilian cities, the opportunities and industrial investments applied to the urbanization process became attractive to different niches of human needs, the population migrated in search of subsidies such as work, leisure, culture and basic inputs in the perspective of having a better life. However, the cities were not physically prepared for the degree of migratory occurrences, segregating the areas according to their purchasing power and social influence, the population that was not in this framework was excluded from areas with the highest investment rate and migrated to land wastelands or with environmental characteristics that excluded interest and real estate speculation. These extension areas have become peripheral and with low levels of public policies, where decent housing, urban mobility, public and institutional services, and leisure are minimal, segregating the city into its centers and slum areas where the poor population is socially, financially, and environmentally vulnerable. The objective of the study is to analyze the slum bela vista located in Santarém / Pará.
