O Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida sob a Perspectiva dos Beneficiários e Agente Operacional

MINHA CASA MINHA VIDA PROGRAM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF BENEFICIARIES AND OPERATIONAL AGENT

Abstract

This article evaluates housing public policy actions from the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV) in the Leonel de Moura Brizola Housing in Santa Maria/RS involving beneficiaries, builder and operational agent in order to guide the program improvement in the process planning and public management. As for the method, the research was characterized as an exploratory-descriptive study with quantitative approach with the beneficiaries and qualitative with the construction company and operational agent. Data were collected through 144 questionnaires with PMCMV beneficiary families and interviews with the construction company and the operating agent. For data analysis, the content analysis technique was used for the qualitative approach and, with the use of descriptive statistics and factor analysis, the quantitative approach. Key findings show that beneficiaries are satisfied with home ownership and that PMCMV objectives meet the basic needs of beneficiaries. However, by specifically entering into the set of activities involving housing provision for the social interest population, a relevant aspect was that housing provision occurred in a location far from the central area, impacting some aspects of the residents' daily life. The research highlights the fact that the negative elements pointed out, that is, access to urban goods and services after the benefit, should not be understood as secondary effects of PMCMV, but due to the low state capacity to provide housing in central areas.
