“…• Conducting ethnographic and focus group interviews aimed at (a) identifying the primary actors and participants of each practice, (b) understanding how these practices emerged, developed and were perceived by the community, and (c) understanding the impact they have had on the local and surrounding community (Coutinho, 2013;Coutinho & Chaves, 2002;Hammersley & Atkinson, 2019;Mata & Fernandes, 2019);…”

“…The interviews did not follow a set format, and the script was continuously adapted to delve into specific topics or questions posed to each interviewee based on their answers. We aimed to provide interviewees with the flexibility to answer questions while ensuring that the interview remained relevant to the assigned topic and objectives (Coutinho, 2013;Coutinho & Chaves, 2002;Freixo, 2012;Hammersley & Atkinson, 2019;Mata & Fernandes, 2019;Sousa & Baptista, 2011).…”

No presente artigo pretende-se demonstrar de que modo a investigação em design de comunicação pode contribuir para a disseminação de práticas comunitárias em contextos economicamente desfavorecidos, como é o caso dos bairros sociais. Este estudo surge no âmbito do projeto de investigação ECHO, onde a principal missão é conhecer e documentar duas práticas comunitárias auto-iniciadas no bairro social do Balteiro, em Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, com o objetivo de as divulgar e estimular a sua replicação em contextos sociais análogos. Começa-se por apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre o papel do design ao serviço das comunidades, focada, em particular, nos conceitos de design social e do design universal, que fundamenta a relevância e pertinência da problemática estudada. De seguida, descreve-se o caso de estudo do Balteiro. Apresentam-se as metodologias adotadas nesta investigação, nomeadamente, o conjunto de entrevistas realizadas com o objetivo de conhecer a história das duas práticas comunitárias, e que serviram de base ao desenvolvimento de um estudo prévio para uma plataforma online e um conjunto de documentários. Este estudo comprovou a importância do envolvimento dos designers neste processo de disseminação, em equipas que deverão ser multidisciplinares. O trabalho de investigação no terreno deve ser próximo da comunidade, das instituições e dos diferentes atores sociais envolvidos, de forma a compreender a complexidade do contexto de estudo e definir o modo de atuação do design. A experiência empírica adquirida com este estudo demonstrou que o trabalho na área social deve ser desenvolvido a nível local, focado em pequenas comunidades ou organizações informais, com a consciência de que os resultados se atingem de forma lenta e gradual.

“…• Emic data will be collected through methods of direct and indirect observation, including ethnographic interviews and focus groups (Mata and Fernandes 2019). This is essential: to identify key players and collaborators of each practice organized within the community; to document changes in these practices after the COVID-19; to understand how these practices are perceived in the community; and the impact these practices have in the community (Hammersley and Atkinson 2007);…”

This project aims to identify, document, interpret and disseminate current self-regulated community practices in social housing neighborhoods in the city of Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, in 2021. The main, specific case study is the neighborhood of Balteiro. We present methodologies and the first outcomes of the ethnographic work developed at Balteiro, namely an analysis of the origins, dynamics, needs and current challenges in face of post-pandemic scenarios in the present and future of two local initiatives: Associação Recreativa Clube Balteiro Jovem (ARCBJ) and (School Workshop of cartoning and sewing (Escola Oficina); additionally, it presents a first set of hypotheses on how Design may contribute to the resonance of these initiatives in other, equivalent similar social contexts.We argue that COVID-19 pandemic regulations, as well as their economic consequences, have had a significant impact on the nature and viability of the aforementioned practices: as a consequence of social distancing and a phobia of the collective, long periods of lockdown and a radical emptying of public space, prior models of creative communal practice will need re-assessing and re-invention.In turn, the proposal to document and disseminate these practices through Design aims to strengthen the mechanisms of empathy and social solidarity among citizens. The research intends to branch out into intuitive, practical and structural issues: preliminary work has been carried out with the Vila Nova de Gaia City Council and the aforementioned residents' associations ARCBJ and Escola Oficina. Emic data is being collected through methods of direct and indirect observation, including ethnographic interviews, focus groups, and participant observation. Audiovisual and photographic content will be collected towards a bank of resources for further scrutiny and employment in exploratory approaches. The research is therefore aimed at providing strategic outcomes, future replication, contextual adaptation and upscaling to national and international contexts. Inner dynamics in these neighborhoods have always tended to be suspicious of external presence and influence, often relying on self-initiated community practices: sports, recreational and cultural activities and professional training in crafts, examples of successful autonomous processes of civic development throughout the years. This contrasts with the broader socio-cultural context of Portugal, where the norm points towards a reliance on institutional tutelage.This traditional reliance has become an issue in the current scenario of a global pandemic: citizens have witnessed the evidence that former socio-cultural practices may come to struggle in current and emerging scenarios. As such, there is an inevitability in enquiring on the nature, purpose, viability and impact of self-initiated community activities in a post-COVID scenario. Furthermore: can we mediate this socio-cultural reconfiguration on a local scale, towards a broader, networked process of regeneration?

This article analyzes indigence as a social phenomenon and discusses the factors that have contributed to its permanence over time. The study focuses on street people in Belém, Pará state, Brazil, as an expression of indigence and how public authorities have treated the issue. To provide context, we discuss 19th century social hygiene polices and show how attitudes toward the homeless and thus treatment of this group has changed over time. The current homeless situation is related to the effects of neoliberal policies, psychiatric and prison deinstitutionalization processes and changes related to drug use and availability. Perception and treatment of the homeless are based are based on the biased view that these individuals are unproductive citizens or even criminals. Research results show that, while homeless populations have generally increased across the globe, we observe specific traits related to social exclusion tendencies present for centuries at the local level in Belém.
