Description
Summary:The purpose of this article is to promote reflection on the relationship between access to shelter as an instrument to promote citizens' rights and socio-spatial self-segregation. It should be noted that the segregation treated here can be due to physical barriers or not, since it also passes through a separation of behaviors and values, being in this article debated under the bias of the socio-spatial self-segregation by the shelter.

Because of real estate explorations and the rising middle class, more and more the intersection of these realities. A relevant finding was that the desire to self-immunize from different living standards leads to urbanistic and psycho-sociocultural implications, which directly impacts on how public and private services are delivered to individuals, so a person's address can determine their level of access to sanitation, mobility, safety, education, health, etc. Thus, we sought a visualization of reality, indicating "what" and "where", creating a spatial and relational vision, seeking to identify "the place of each one" in the different Brazilian cities.
