Abstract

Goals: To discuss the experiences of (ex) inhabitants of a community, regarding the reorganization of daily living resulting from an eviction process under the perspective of Social Occupational Therapy. Methodology: This exploratory qualitative study was conducted among eight participants who lived in a fishermen’s community located in Maceió, state capital of Alagoas, at northeast of Brazil. The snowball technique was used. Data emerged from semi-structured interviews, with main topic was about the organization of former residents’ daily life, before and after the eviction process. Results: the process of deterritoralization had a direct impact on community’s daily organization, which was expressed through violation of rights, network breach, distancing from workplace, disruption of labor links, and an educational procedure weaken, for children and young people of the locality. Conclusion: The eviction process has aggravated the social vulnerability situation into the community, this context makes it possible to reflect about some technical, ethical and political propositions, where a Social Occupational Therapy could build, from its understandings about daily life and human occupations, within this social dynamic that produces and reproduces situations of inequality, denial of access to goods, services and the city itself, disqualifying identities and cultures.
