MINHA CASA MINHA VIDA PROGRAM AND ITS REPERCUSSION IN A REGIONAL SCALE: A STUDY ABOUT THE AMAZON RIVER DELTA

Abstract

This article aims to present a brief overview of federal housing policies analyzing the leading role of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV) as a housing macro-policy applied at the local scale, focusing on the fifty municipalities located in the Amazon River Delta. The methodology to develop this paper consisted in a bibliographical review about the national housing issue; data were collected through requests to the Ministry of Cities related to the PMCMV regarding the Delta. Geotechnology resources were used to elaborate maps of the Delta focusing the Program. As a result, it was possible to understand that the PMCMV played a significant role lowering the housing deficit in the Delta. We also observed that these municipalities are highly dependent on the macropolicies elaborated in federal spheres.
