Call for Research Projects 2023: Public Space Management and Evacuation Strategies for So-called ‘Unwanted’ Residents

To fuel its reflections and enrich public debate through rigorous analyses, the Defender of Rights conducts and coordinates study and research work.

In the year 2023, the rights advocate has launched a call for research projects on public space management and strategies for evicting so-called “unwanted” residents.

Through the referrals it receives, the rights advocate is able to monitor the violations of rights in public spaces that are exposed to certain categories of users and especially the so-called “undesirable” population.

In recent years, the institution has been taken over, for example, by cases related to procedures for evicting occupants of land, slums or slums outside the legal framework or compliance with the accompanying rules laid down in the law. The rights advocate has become aware of disproportionate uses of force, destruction of property, or eviction practices of certain populations that do not comply with moral codes. Finally, it was confiscated due to the use of decrees that did not comply with legislative standards.

Objectives

This call for research projects aims to analyze strategies and devices, formal or informal, whose aim or effect is to expel ‘unwanted’ residents in public spaces.

  • The different strategies and mechanisms adopted by the authorities responsible for the management of public spaces in the direction of “unwanted” residents;
