SUMMARY:

Since the beginning of the 2010s, the city of Rio de Janeiro has been undergoing a series of transformations in the urban spaces of subdivisions that, in the past, were designed for residential purposes without any kind of restriction on the access, circulation or permanence of "strangers". During this period, the main changes that several subdivisions have been suffering stem from the adoption of a systematic closure of public roads with residential characteristics, under the pretext of an alleged fight against crime and violence. As has been happening in other neighborhoods of the capital, since at least 2016, it is noticeable that in Bangu the number of closed streets only increases. And in view of what has been happening, this work was designed with the general and main objective of discussing the privatization and militarization of urban space from the production of closed, semi-closed and dead-end streets, which has been taking place in that neighborhood. In addition to the main purpose, this research has the following specific objectives: to investigate the impacts and consequences of the process of closing streets for the resident population and also for those who are not residents; discuss the process of socio-spatial fragmentation resulting from the adoption of the practice of closing streets; examine and discuss the militarization of urban space as a strategy for controlling everyday life. The methodological development of this research will be carried out based on a theoretical survey on the subject, field work in the area designated as a spatial area, in addition to conducting semi-structured interviews with people who were somehow affected by this process.
