Abstract
This thesis comes to continue an investigation made within the framework of the Master in Urban Studies of the National University of General Sarmiento. Departing from this, we aimed to investigate in the practices and in its symbolic dimension of slums organizations in the frame of the implementation of a judicialized public policy, product of the so-called "Mendoza" cause, in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, between 2010 and 2018. The sanitation of the Matanza Riachuelo basin, one of the most polluted in the country, and improving the living conditions of its population. We sought to clarify whether this legal framework had specific effects on the relationships that were established by the recipients of the policies with the different public agents and the social representations that were exposed by the population of the basin. These articulated with historically constructed networks and perceptions preexisting in their neighborhoods. Two settlements located in the Matanza Riachuelo basin will be taken as case studies: the villa 21-24 of Barracas in the city of Buenos Aires and the Campo Unamuno, in the Municipality of Lomas de Zamora (Province of Buenos Aires). Both informal settlements were the recipients of various urban environmental policies based on the judicial sentence in the aforementioned litigation, which had to be carried out by a group of state actors from different jurisdictions and with different competences.
In our research, as we have indicated, we will take into consideration the processes that occurred in two informal settlements on the banks of the Riachuelo river. The field work was carried out from 2014 to 2018. The comparison between the processes in these two settlements of the AMBA was related to the potentiality that it carried in terms of sharpening our power of description, playing "a role in the formation of concepts in carrying out the focus to similarities and suggestive contrasts between cases" (Collier, 1993: 5). We developed a qualitative research strategy, to which end we applied various data collection tools. We use primary and secondary sources of information for our research, the first being our main analysis material due to the objectives set. The indepth interviews conducted with all the members of the slums organizations of Campo Unamuno and the towpath of Villa 21-24 were the main material for the analysis of the field work. Interviews were also conducted with other relevant neighborhood actors and officials of the various state agencies involved in the processes analyzed and non-participant observation in the assemblies or meetings of the organizations and, also, in different activities and meetings addressing the problem under study. In addition, a broad survey of secondary sources was carried out, focusing on the documents generated by judicial authorities and reports from other legal operators.
