O papel do território no processo socioeducativo na Fundação CASA/SP

Abstract

The Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA) and the National System of Socioeducative Support Law (SINASE) establish the importance of the territorial integration of service centers in the execution of socio-educational measures. This dissertation seeks to analyze how the territory can contribute to this process. To this end, a case study was carried out and, through the qualitative/inductive method, the performance – through indicators – of the Fundação CASA / SP was analyzed, especially of the Socio-Educational Service Center “Archbishop Dom Helder Câmara” located in Franca city, Sao Paulo. The study was conducted based on the personal experience of this researcher, who held the position of General Inspector of the Fundação CASA/SP for 11 years, based on the theoretical frameworks divided into the four elements that make up the process: education (based on Paulo Freire's thinking), socio-education (Antônio Carlos Gomes da Costa), territory (Milton Santos) and urbanism (Francesco Tonucci and Flávio Villaça). It is hoped to provide elements that help to identify the role of the territory in the socio-educational measure as a corollary of the right to the city, as an emancipatory right and to contribute to the local legislative process.
