ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I start presenting by important information regarding the methodological aspects of the research that is discussed in sequence. The survey was performed in the area affected by the main works related to the 2014 World Cup in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The universe of the research was estimated in 3,645 houses in the area, which led to 134 randomly selected houses to be chosen as the sample of the research. Thus, subsequently, this chapter presents the results relating to questions addressing housing, education, health, security, public sphere performance and employment/economy and the set of questions related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup specifically. Additionally, interviews were conducted with residents of the area and other actors. The concluding analysis points to a general negative result in reference to the performance of the 2014 World Cup in the area affected by the works related to the event in Porto Alegre. Some findings were even alarming, as in the case of housing and security.
