TITLE:

Violence in the city of Natal/RN in 2019 and 2020: A spatial and demographic approach to violent deaths with a focus on the effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:

Violence is a material mechanism that has always been present in human society, manifesting itself in a painful, dangerous and unequal way. With regard to Brazil, since the 1980s, homicides are the second leading cause of death in population groups aged 15 to 39 years, especially in males. In order to explain this phenomenon that is so present in the daily life of large urban centers, several fields of knowledge began to point out factors such as poverty, income inequality and the absence of the State, which are crucial for the maintenance of high levels of violence in the country. However, few works discuss the theme from the use of spatially disaggregated information, at the level of geographic coordinates, for analysis in the urban space. Given the context, the work aims to analyze the distribution of CVLI in the intraurban space of Natal/RN in the years 2019 and 2020, in addition to the characteristics and locational pattern of these deaths, taking into account the heterogeneity of the urban space in relation to the sociodemographic characteristics of the population and the dependence on socio-spatial segregation. The choice of analyzing the years 2019 and 2020 takes place in two different contexts: the spatial distribution of CVLIs in a pre-pandemic period and during the pandemic, in order to verify the effects of the pandemic on the phenomenon of violence in Natal/RN , their permanence or changes, either in relation to the spatial distribution of homicides, or in relation to the intensity and profile of the occurrences. The data sources used were the Rio Grande do Norte Violence Observatory, Municipal Department of Environment and Urbanism and the 2010 Demographic Census. After obtaining the data in geospatial format, it was possible to adopt spatial techniques such as distance measurements, Kernel interpolation and spatial autocorrelation, and the results showed the maintenance of violent spaces in the North and West portions of the city, with high percentages of CVLI in these areas due to drug trafficking, mortality among the young population and the strong relationship between these areas. and phenomenon and the areas that present greater socio-spatial vulnerability. However, it was possible to observe some differences in relation to the spatial distribution of CVLIs, and especially in relation to the characteristics of violence observed between 2019 and 2020.
