SUMMARY:

This research investigates the phenomena of the misused public squares in Teixeira de Freitas city. Public squares are intrinsic to daily organization in the cities, as well as the streets, houses, and districts. People use the squares for casual meetings, shelter, and spare time to observe the city, and to be observed by it. The historical importance assigned to public squares assumes social interaction and diversity shelter, although be a complement to collective well-being. The public squares dynamic leads the show of the public, social, and political life. The city under investigation here, has 62 squares, being in their majority with few users and purposes, so abandoned by public power. Therefore, even in a scenario with the usual lack of public management by the State, we can find some collective initiatives for restoration. In some zones, the community around the square united themselves to build and keep the public square aiming for the general welfare, while they reorganized the new forms/ways of occupying and preserving the local. Based on the theoretical outlook of “the common" as a political action, investigated the dynamics within the organization forms among people and the community motivations to transform the local in a "common one" as already predicated by Elinor Ostrom and wall-mounted in Michael Hardt & Antonio Negri views. To reach our research goals, an exam in the qualitative form through semi-structured interviews was done - three squares presenting the common behavior were compared to three abandoned squares. Through the empirical observation of the city-dwellers actions the local and the relationship agreed with public power, since the last one contributes to the promotion of the symbolic field applying the urban technique (project and build) of public space as a facilitator, the research findings intend to provide data to contribute to the reflection of the urban commons “do” and the right to the city.
