Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper aimed to analyze the socio-spatial segregation that occurs in the city of Batalha, in Alagoas, comparing the neighborhoods Avenida Governador Muniz Falcão and Bairro Alto São Jorge. The spatial arrangements and socioeconomic profile of its residents were verified as markers of the urban landscape, besides identifying the agents that act by modeling these spaces and generating specific forms and functions in the urban scene. Methodologically, the research was conducted through literature survey, primary data from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Even though it is a phenomenon in the small town scale, the processes resulting from the capitalist mode of production in the western cities reproduce the same logics of inequality and dialectical production of differences, intensifying the struggles and segregation in the daily life of the city.

KEYWORDS: Small Town, Capitalism, Producing Agents.
