To investigate food insecurity (FI) prevalence in two favelas in Brazil in the early weeks of the social distancing policy, from 27 March 2020 to 1 June 2020.
A cross-sectional study using an online ...questionnaire to elicit information on socio-economic and demographic characteristics, the types of stores visited to buy food, and FI screening. The FI experience was evaluated according to the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. Factors associated with moderate or severe FI were investigated using the logistic regression model.
São Paulo city, Brazil.
Totally, 909 householders.
Eighty-eight per cent of the households included young women working as cleaners or kitchen assistants and in sales services. One-fifth of the participants were involved in the federal cash transfer programme, called Bolsa Família. There were 92 % households with children. The most frequent experience reported was uncertainty about food acquisition or receiving more (89 %), eating less than one should (64 %), not being able to eat healthy and nutritious food (46 %), and skipping a meal (39 %). Forty-seven per cent of the participants experienced moderate or severe FI. Factors associated with moderate and severe FI were low income, being a Bolsa Família recipient, having a low level of education and living in a household without children.
Half of the participants experienced moderate or severe FI, and almost 10 % experienced hunger. Our data suggest that families with children were at a lower risk of moderate to severe FI. It is possible that nationally established social programmes such as Bolsa Família were protecting those families.

Mudanças nos ...processos de ocupação e uso das terras insustentáveis, políticas de desenvolvimento inadequadas e crescimento urbano, têm gerado níveis altos de degradação e aumento da pressão sobre os ecossistemas que ameaçam a resiliência do sistema natural. Trata-se de uma investigação acerca da relação entre a cultura e o território,
especificamente sobre a ação de coletivos culturais atuantes nas periferias de São Paulo
e Bogotá. A hipótese levantada é que a ação cultural destes coletivos possui uma relação
direta com seus territórios. Para tanto, o pesquisador, que também é um militante da
cultura, escolheu a pesquisa-ação como abordagem metodológica e, a partir de um olhar
"de dentro", busca evidenciar a importância destes movimentos no processo de
transformação das cidades, observando suas potencialidades e desafios.

In their fight against the displacement of local commnnities, activists are appropriating central Sao Paulo Brazil's abandoned spaces. Abandoned and obsolete structures have become the newest field ...of exercise for architectural imagination around the world. Yet these same spaces are contested by those who are struggling to survive while also aspiring to prosperity. When neglected by urban planning and architectural imaginaries, abandoned sites are appropriated by those with limited resources, generating landscapes for life. On the other hand, there have been social movements fighting for housing rights ever since the 1970s; although largely based in self-built settlements in the peripheries and favelas, they have also included dwellers of buildings converted into tenements, who partly laid claim to the stock of vacant buildings in the converted into tenements, who partly laid claim to the stock of vacant buildings in the centre for social housing.
