Abstract
The struggle for land and permanence in the territory is one of the most heated issues today, enhanced by the pandemic context, with increasing flagrant violations of human rights. This work aims to reflect on the forced eviction proceeding in Salvador/BA, based on the discourse and concept of urban informality, and on the resistance of communities, through the collective construction of the matrix for repairing material and immaterial damage. The text is mainly based on the theoretical approaches of Jacques (2001), Rolnik (2015) and Zibechi (2015) about popular territories, which go beyond the notion of precariousness and constitute spaces full of meaning. The qualitative methodology is based on an action-research with the participation of the communities representatives affected, understood as subjects aware of the political importance of the reality they are inserted. As a result, it is highlighted the understanding of the violation of rights practiced by the state, the valuation of material damages and the identification of immaterial damages, providing subsidies to the justice agencies for actions to review the compensation values. Thus, this work contributes to enhancing the denunciation and giving visibility to human rights violations, as well as to the construction of new management models for cities, with respect for human rights and decent housing.
