One of the challenges of large urban centers is the uncontrolled growth, lack of infrastructure affects the quality of life and the provision of basic services: water, electricity, transport, health. The city of Fortaleza is no different. Faced with this problem and the need to structure the capital of Ceará to receive games from World Cup Soccer 2014, the urban policy has been in evidence.
For the lawyer Euro Aun Brazil, the structure will depend on the execution of the projects outlined by the State Government and the Municipality of Fortaleza in order to enable major works. Examples include extensions of streets, construction of flyovers and subways, transit planning and expropriations of homes.
"Therefore, the property of Fortaleza, usually low-income, may have a specific destination, may be susceptible of expropriation or of its preservation, with the regulation of the populated area. So the question becomes: how the government is acting to preserve the houses, facing the new urban focus in Fortaleza?, Questioned the lawyer.
Euro Brazil states that one of the actions was the creation of Special Zones of Social Interest (ZEIS), regulated by Complementary Law No. 062/2009 (Master Plan of Fortaleza). "The zones are portions of territory, may be publicly or privately owned, intended primarily to promote the regularization of urban land and housing for low-income settlements and development of existing housing programs of social and popular market in areas not buildings, unused or underused and are subject to special features of construction, subdivisions, land use and land cover. "
Briefly aim to eliminate the illegal occupation, regulate and delimit land area for housing, especially checking infrastructure for the population. In view of Euro Aun Brazil, the policy is no longer going to be repressive and preventive. "Before, I had to evict. Today, there is a fenced area, considering the social and environmental rights because the state has a duty to assign social function. "
The characteristics of these types of areas are large, can be built or not and the occupation needs to be irregular as near rivers, swamps, dunes and highways. "When you can not build in the area, the correct procedure would be the removal of property without right to compensation. If an area in which they can build if they have to leave, residents of properties registered are entitled to compensation, "says Aun Euro Brazil.
The lawyer believes that the measure contemplated the particular interests of the state, covering mainly the low income population. "It's not only improve the public highway, the structure of hotels, the right to housing must be a priority. The structure of the city is being discussed in three topics: the supremacy of public interest over private, social function of property and housing rights. The focus areas are urban, environmental, housing and health. The urbanization of the city works best in an area regularized and structured wire, telephone, water, sewer and transportation. "
The coordinator of the Strategic Planning of Housing Development Foundation of Fortaleza (Habitafor), Daniel Rodriguez, said the ZEIS not intended, only the 2014 World Cup, but a policy of permanent housing and urban development. "The goal is to ensure the right to housing, especially among the poor population, and bringing all the necessary infrastructure."
He explained that any area of ​​Fortaleza is subject to intervention by the Municipality to improve basic services and thus the quality of life. "There are three types of ZEIS. The first involves settlements with poor infrastructure, the second joint task forces and subdivisions, and the third covers land that are located in an area structured, but are not utilized or underutilized. "
Examples of areas of type 1, the coordinator cited the Pirambu, and Serviluz Lagamar and type 3, Praia do Futuro and Papicu. "In Pirambu, there are about eight thousand families and we need to examine each case for regularization, which is already happening."
Daniel Roberts said there are four ways for the settlement. 1: If the land is City Hall, is the grant; 2: If the State is required to transfer the domain to the municipality; 3: if the Union, we need an agreement, and 4: in When it comes to a particular area, the prosecution needs (adverse possession). "In any case, families are being treated with dignity. Staying or leaving is occurring in an organized way, "he pointed out.
Regarding Lagamar, the coordinator explained that the delay in counting it as ZEIS was due the need to study to be a more dense area of ​​risk and environmental issues involved.
Help Araripe, the Center for Defense of Human Rights Lagamar said that the community held fortnightly on Fridays, meetings to discuss implementation of the project, the creation of the steering committee of the place. "The City Council presented a proposal, but suggested some changes, which are under review. One was the alternation of the presidency of the committee that the original decree would, only, of Habitafor, which would have a vote in the event of a tie in a discussion. Our suggestion was that each year the presidency is alternated with the community committee. "
She also said that technicians Cearense Metropolitan Transport Company (Metrofor) were Lagamar in making measurements for the implementation of light rail will pass by the community.
The decree establishing the committee Lagamar being analyzed by the Attorney General of the Municipality (PGM). The goal is to make sure your device is within the constitutionality.
