The research objective is to follow the urban intervention process in Acari, describing the human and non-human actors involved, and the effects of their actions on the local implantation network of the Quarter-Slum Program. With particular focus on the construction of the intervention practice, we search for a symmetrical approach in Social Psychology, in which neither the pole of 'individual', nor the pole of 'society' is privileged a priori. Presented by the    Instituto de Comunicação e Informação Científica e Tecnológica em Saúde da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, the study Vulnerabilidade social e risco ambiental: Uma abordagem metodológica para avaliação de injustiça ambiental - Social vulnerability and environmental risk: A methodological approach for evaluating environmental injustice, by Ruy Cartier, Christovam Barcellos, Cristiane Hübner e Marcelo Firpo Porto takes a critical look at the underlying causes for poverty.
