THE CESSPOOLS ON THE SIDEWALKS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE URBAN SCENERY OF ARAGUAÍNA – TOCANTINS

Abstract

This article discusses the problem of cesspools on the sidewalks of Araguaína as part of the construction of the urban scenario of the city, sometimes due to the lack/absence of the public power to meet the basic needs of the population, sometimes due to the cultural "cleverness" of the population that "taking advantage" of the lack of municipal inspection, also corroborates the sense of the organizational disarray of spatial production. Or still, both hypotheses at the same time, making up the scenario built and to be built gradually with the cultural subtleties of the place. Even because, the problematic does not choose "social class" in its existence as such. That is, both the person with low purchasing power and the person with high social status, use the artifice of cesspools on the sidewalks as a lack of sewage network and sanitary treatment and/or stating that their land is small and that, therefore, the cesspools "fit" inside them and/or even if when paying for the septic tank to clean the cesspool, they remove their waste,  It is cheaper on the sidewalk than on the land. These are discourses that permeate the social classes that produce the urban space of the city of Araguaína – TO.
