摘要：This article aims to discuss the reality of the inhabitants of a traditional riverside community, involuntarily inserted for at least two decades, within the urban area of Urbanova neighborhood, west region of São José dos Campos, SP. These riverine community is formed by a traditional fishing community and live in an irregular settlement located in a risky and permanent protection area. The fact that they are not the landowners together with the omission of public power generate feelings of exclusion and socio-spatial segregation in addition to social and environmental problems. Survival strategies adopted by the residents of this community and their perspectives of insertion in urban life will be investigated through the research conducted with these residents, and the documentary and bibliographic research. Facing so many uncertainties, it is estimated that the population is at a crossroad, which is seen as a dilemma or the impossibility of decision-making, except those ones involving the strategies of their survival and maintenance in the area.
