Perceptions of the residents of the Engomadeira Neighborhood on the UNEB-BA

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the perceptions of residents of Bairro Engomadeira about the State University of Bahia (UNEB), Campus I, Salvador, to propose  improvements in the relations established between the Community and the University. For the discussion, authors such as Fialho (1998), Midlej  (2004) and Santos (2014) were consulted. The research was developed in a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews and closed  questionnaires as a data collection instrument, applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 20 (twenty) residents, dividing into three groups, by level of  education: elementary level, medium level and higher level, to identify and analyze their perceptions. Content analysis by Bardin (2002) was used, and in  the light of authors such as Midlej (2004) and Santos (2008), for the treatment of the collected data. It was noted in that study, that the perceptions of the  residents of the Ironing Company about Uneb differ by the level of education, where the residents of elementary and high school perceive the  university with positive relationships and those with higher education, with negative relationships.
