A contribuição do movimento sindical na construção de política habitacional no meio rural : uma análise a partir do Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Agricultores Familiares de Santa Cruz do Sul, Sinimbu, Vale do Sol e Herveiras.

Abstract

The objective of this research work was to analyze the participation of the Trade Union Movement of Rural Workers (MSTTR) in the dynamics of claiming and implementing a rural housing policy (National Rural Housing Program - PNHR) in the region formed by the municipalities of Santa Cruz do Sul, Sinimbu, Vale do Sol and Herveiras, in the Rio Pardo Valley, Rio Grande do Sul. This research is justified by the social and economic importance of the rural housing program, since it goes beyond expanding access to housing to address socioeconomic inequalities and the articulation with other public policies. The problem of study and investigation is: how does the participation of the union movement impact the dynamics of claim, construction and execution of the rural housing policy? The research was characterized as qualitative; the study was developed from bibliographic and documental reviews, and scientific and empirical data, based on the critical dialectic methodology. The research was carried out with a sample of 30 beneficiary families of the program and 09 interviews with municipal managers who at the time had links and participated in the execution of the program and union leaders who were in the line of conduct and implementation of the Program. The research on the importance of the rural housing programs showed that these programs go beyond the acquisition of a house, because they comprise an intersectoral network of public policies and institutional relationships. Trade union entities have great importance in the political processes of organization and implementation, even placing themselves as strategic subjects in mobilizations that aim at the resumption of housing programs aimed at family agriculture in the country, in order to keep alive the perspective of facing this social issue in rural areas, the lack of housing in rural areas.
