Abstract

Prejudice of socio-spacial nature is characterized by the attribution of violence and criminality to the poor peripheric neighborhoods and their inhabitants, what demands control, separation and distancing over them, on the residential and city scale. This research is based on interviews, secondary data survey, mapping, bibliographical review and in loco visit. It discusses the origin and materialization of socio-spacial prejudice related to urban insecurity in the city of Araguaína-TO. It was observed that the socio-spacial prejudice is immanent to the segregated way of appropriation of the city. This way, a violence attribution is addressed to the peripheric neighborhoods. From them it’s kept a distance and an expanding control, but when encounters with their inhabitants are inevitable they take place with the use of violence.

Keywords: socio-spacial prejudice, insecurity, segregation.
