Abstract

This study aims to analyze the spatial and social dimensions of occupation around railway lines in non-metropolitan Brazilian realities from the city of Campina Grande, located in the northeast of Brazil. To this end, the following methodological procedures were used: bibliographic research; documentary research; field research; data systematization with the production of thematic cartograms; analysis of the morphological elements and social data that configure the studied spaces. It was observed that the area presents different morphological configurations and is predominantly occupied by low-income social groups, sometimes informally, configuring itself as a space full of social and infrastructural problems and poorly considered in urban planning.
