Abstract

In view of the various possible approaches to investigating urbanism, this study addresses the challenge of speaking through the interweaving of city themes and their dynamics, based on the analysis of urban inequalities experienced in Maceió, focusing on its Special Zones of Social Interest (ZEIS). Thus, in order to analyze and compare, statistically and spatially, the structural and socioeconomic conditions of Alagoas’ capital, we adopted the Adapted Urban Well-Being Index as a method of observing this reality, using the Census of 2010 as a data source. The findings made it possible to identify the levels of urban well-being in the sectors of Maceió, supporting the discussion about the formulation of public policies aimed at mitigating the inequalities noted, especially, in their ZEIS.

Keywords: Urban Well-Being Index, inequalities, social mapping, Special Zones of Social Interest.
