Abstract

This research deals with the situation of extreme exclusion (in the social,economic, territorial and urban dimensions) and with the socio-spatial segregation process of the population of the Sururu de Capote slum, which is located in the district of Ponta Grossa in Maceió/AL. This population is in a restrained space, experiencing an urbanization of risk and an informal economic situation, without the minimum right to the city. The study analyzes and explains the segregating effects on the population of the socially excluded Sururu de Capote Slum in its geographic and territorial dimensions. The method used is the dialectical historical materialism. The research has so far identified a set of negative indicators related to infrastructure and collective equipment.
