| Sumario: | The objective of this work is to analyze the effects of the transition from rural housing to social housing provided by Mevir's public policy, seeking to answer the question of whether access to the latter implies, from the perception of the awardees themselves, an improvement in their standard of living. The methodology is qualitative, centered on the in-depth interview, based on intentional sampling and, later, by the "snowball" method. The results obtained show, on the one hand, that the transition from rural housing to social housing represents an improvement in living standards, although, on the other, they also show the existence of sacrificial aspects in this transition experience. The main limitations of the work were the lack of financing and the pandemic context during the field work; both situations reduced the originally planned sample size. The investigation into the sacrificial aspects of Mevir has a theoretical importance, since although the subject of rural housing has been gaining place in the research agendas in Uruguay it is still lagging behind, and a political relevance linked to the possibility of transforming these sacrificial aspects to the extent that they manage to be exposed, named, delimited. The main conclusion is that the improvement generated by the transition from rural housing to social housing is observable in some aspects of family life, such as tenure security, but with a profound labor, financial, and spatial impact. |
