TERRITORIALIZAÇÃO DA ASSOCIAÇÃO AMIGOS DE MARIA NO BAIRRO JARDIM NOROESTE, CAMPO GRANDE (MS)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the territorialization strategies of the Associação Amigos de Maria, a non-profit, non-governmental organization that operates in the Jardim Noroeste neighborhood, in the city of Campo Grande (MS). The central question that guides the research is to understand how the Associação Amigos de Maria works to promote sustainable territorial development. The research methodology is qualitative and is based on field data obtained through semi-structured interviews with volunteers, employees and beneficiaries of the Amigos de Maria. The results indicate that the Association develops projects and actions in favor of sustainable territorial development and, with these instruments, territorializes the space of the Jardim Noroeste neighborhood and builds a material and symbolic network territory.
