SUMMARY:

This research addresses the theme of Special Social Interest Areas (AEIS), territorial disputes, and popular resistance, focusing on the experiences of urban communities located in the Eastern Administrative Region of Natal/RN. It examines the territorial configuration of communities facing pressures from the formal real estate market, prompting a reflection on the interactions between the State, the market, and populations whose territorial ties are woven through history and daily life. The objective is to understand the processes of community formation and AEIS implementation in the Eastern Administrative Region of Natal/RN, considering their consolidation or territorial losses, as well as the daily relationships of communities that have historically resisted pro-market economic agents and State interventions. Guided by qualitative methodological procedures, including semi-structured interviews, active participant observation, and documentary research, the adopted methodological approach articulates theoretical discussions and empirical analysis, structured around three main categories: territorial configuration, State-community relations, and the interests of the formal real estate market. Preliminary results indicate progress in the institutional recognition of AEIS within urban policy; however, little progress has been made in terms of regulation and land regularization. In this dynamic, the threats of displacement driven by the real estate market and/or the State have intensified. However, communities organize support and reciprocity networks, reaffirming resistance and territorial belonging in a context of deepening neoliberal policies.
