Segregation and sociability in real estate development of social interest: this dissertation analyses the sociably procedures of the recipients of the Program My Home My Life/Range 1 who live in Residencial Paulo Fonteles II, located at Ananindeua municipality of Pará State, Brazil. It is an ethnographical study that derivates of findings from previous studies in which it was pursued to analyse the implications of popular housing in the form of closed condominium has on the segregation and sociability of the residents related to others in their surrounding area. In this work there are presented analysis on the concepts of segregation and sociability and are also used categories and contributions from authors of Social Anthropology field. In previous researchers it could be observed that, due to many problems, specially those related to security, the condominium residents developed a kind of segregation enforcement. The used methodology included participant observation in Residencial Paulo Fonteles II and its surrounding area, and interviews with the residents in both areas. Popular housing in the form of closed condominium has caused an impact on the Residencial Paulo Fonteles II residents imposing them some restrictions about its expansion beyond the surrounding walls. Partially, such relations derivate the fact of both residents have their own specific different interests. Some of these relations shaped a series of contrary opinions because of they defy the logic of the control of access to the condominium. The unauthorized people entrance is the reason of certain dissatisfaction in many of the condominium residents. Even though difficulties with the surrounding area residents and also the inner ones, the bonds with the earliest residencies have not been broken. And, even considering the segregation enforcement by the walls and entrance control should solve the problems related to security is in discredit, the Residencial Paulo Fonteles II residents keep the opinion that the closed condominium, because it is a segregated environment, it is the most suitable kind of housing to them.
