Resumen
Parnamirim, since the beggining of its population, has a close relationship with the
aviation, becoming, since the 1940‟s, an important location of the Brazilian Air Force
(FAB). This research aims to comprehend how the military elements, especially the
villages and its residents, relate to the town of Parnamirim, trying to unerstand
beyond the territorial impact. Documental and bibliography researches were
performed; land use mapping – reaching a radius of 500 meter distance of each
village, identifying their surroundings –, and a field research with a questionnaire,
utilizing the “bola de neve” (snowball) methodology, with residents of the four military
villages of Parnamirim. The research demonstrated that three of the four villages of
Parnamirim are insert in privileged locations, surrounded by various commercial and
service provider establishments. The privilege of the location can be demonstrated
through the perception of its own residents, who affirm reside in a place that provides
a variety of services and commerce. It was demonstrated that the economic activities
of the city are impacted by the permanence of the military and its families, because
every village requires supermarkets, restaurants, drugstores, clothing stores and
services such as the town‟s schools and gyms. However, what concerns the military
population, it was identified that it chooses to utilize the collective use equipment
inside the villages, accessed only by the residents. Because, over time, the military
villages in Parnamirim were shaped like closed neighborhoods, restricting the access
from local population.
