Abstract

This thesis presents an analysis of the socio-urban structuring of the Metropolitan Region of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil, based on the social inclusion/exclusion process. It starts from the presupposition that the urban-metropolitan space is configured, in relation to its internal organization and its social content, in segregated social areas, which result from (and imply) different degrees of social inclusion or exclusion of its population. It analyzes the evolution of the processes of urbanization and expansion of urban areas in the region, as well as a characterization of the intra-urban spaces under the functional and social perspectives. It also elaborates, based on intra-urban census data, a system of social indicators of social exclusion/inclusion, aiming to measure and represent through the space the dynamics of socio-spatial inequalities in the urban-metropolitan space between 1991 and 2010, using indexes calculated in relation to four dimensions of analysis of the social inclusion/exclusion process: income autonomy, human development, equity and home quality. The research results characterize urban unequal socio-spatial structure, which is marked by big differences of living conditions (especially in the city of Campinas) and segregation of populations in sectored spatial arrangements sectors, configured in regional and intra-urban scales (AU)
