O Legado de Megaeventos Esportivos e a Contextualização das Remoções

Sporting megaevents are increasingly associated with urban transformations aimed at improving the population's quality of life. When well planned, these changes characterize the legacy left after the end of the games. In 2014, Brazil hosted the World Cup, marked by projects mainly for urban mobility in the long term would benefit the population as a whole. However, 250,000 people were removed from the country to which these works were performed. In order to evaluate the perception of these people associated with the way that the removal process was done it was taken as a case study duplication Tronco Avenue, in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. The data collection was performed from participation in demonstrations and events of the affected communities, focus groups and interviews that identified the dissatisfaction of the people removed as to the way the government dealt with the retirement of families from their homes, being marked by a lack of dialogue, low compensation, lack a social project, disrespect for human rights and the right to adequate housing. However, the population affected was not positioned against the realization of the megaevent in Porto Alegre in Brazil, but against the pipes before the removals.
