Abstract

In this article, we analyze the problem of removal of dwellings Neighborhood Getúlio Vargas between the years 1971 and 1973, driven by the expansion of port activities in the city of Rio Grande, in order to understand how different actors have spoken about these events. We seek to apprehend the immediate consequences of this process for displaced residents to new or newly created districts of the city. We show that removal of the BGV houses in the early 1970s consisted of a process marked by contradictions that set up a scenario of spatial segregation, cultural uprooting and precarious socio-environmental conditions of those residents. Thus, we point to a change in the way educators and environmental managers can devise and practice possible future removal processes homes in port areas, in order to consider the residents as having the right to enjoy their territories. This is because, in the light of a critical environmental education and manufacturing, design and practice life in its various social and environmental contexts is the same as respect and ensure the right of peoples freely develop their potential in a perspective of participation and full citizenship that contributes to the gradual emergence a new model of civilization.
