Percepção dos feirantes sobre o processo de ordenamento da feira livre de Beberibe

Abstract

Informal commerce is an alternative used by a population share that depends on this kind of business for their own survival, working, in many cases, with precarious conditions. The current socioeconomic profile of the vendors installed in an area belonging to the Public Market of Beberibe is a result of the performed activities by traders who occupied public places before the action done by the City Hall of Recife in 2013. The main objective of the research was to analyze this reordering through the evaluation of the socioeconomic profile of the marketers, through the observation of the process of registration of the informal trade and subsequent action of removal and accommodation of these traders in an area destined to the activities of the Street Fair/public fairs, using these data later to analyze the results from this process of vacating the streets public. Its methodology is a qualitative approach based on a case study, through the observation of the informal trade registration process and subsequent application of a semi-structured questionnaire. We observed that the intervention was extremely important to maintain the safety conditions of the traders and passersby, and maintaining the hygienic-sanitary conditions of public roads and commercial activities, with a large part of these merchants and consumers living in Recife and the Metropolitan Region. We were able to conclude, therefore, that it is still necessary to implement points of improvement by the government based on proposals from the relocated traders themselves.
