The research carried through different documental sources reveals that this process greatly emphasized a certain project of civility which aimed children and women, mainly. Such project sought to interfere in family organization with regard to the care of children and also tried to moralize and discipline the infantile body as well as the feminine one through a system based on hygienism and eugenism. The creation of social policies, quite evident from the implementation of the Brazilian Legion of Assistance in the city, was directed to health and education. It was from these places that a recast of the familiar habits and customs in the public and private spaces was sought, choosing it as a builder and maintainer of a healthy, educated and organized society. The efforts to civilize Chapeco took place in the context of a recrudescence in nationalism and a seeking to integrate the city to the territory of Santa Catarina. Inicially represented as a violent land, of Indians and caboclos, Chapeco has been the subject of projects that aimed to change this idea to the concept of work land, of pioneer and educated people willing to achieve the ideal of a modern and civilized city / Esta dissertacao problematiza o processo de disciplinamento das praticas e costumes na cidade de Chapeco entre as decadas de 1940 e 1960, sobretudo, e principalmente, a partir da implantacao da Legiao Brasileira de Assistencia na cidade. A pesquisa realizada a partir de diferentes fontes documentais revela que esse processo enfatizava sobremaneira um determinado projeto de civilidade que teve como principais alvos as criancas e as mulheres. Tal projeto buscava intervir na organizacao familiar no que toca ao cuidado das criancas pela familia e tambem visava moralizar e disciplinar o corpo infantil e o feminino dentro de uma logica voltada ao higienismo e ao eugenismo. A criacao de politicas sociais, bastante evidentes a partir da implantacao da Legiao Brasileira de Assistencia na cidade, voltava-se a saude e a educacao. Era a partir desses lugares que se buscava a reformulacao dos habitos e costumes da familia nos espacos publico e privado, elegendo-a como construtora e mantenedora de uma sociedade sadia, educada e organizada. O esforco em civilizar Chapeco foi feito num contexto de recrudescimento do nacionalismo e na busca de se integrar a cidade ao territorio catarinense. Antes representada como terra violenta, de indios e caboclos, Chapeco vai ser alvo de projetos que objetivam deslocar essa ideia para a de terra de trabalho, de povo desbravador e educado, disposto a concretizar o ideal de cidade moderna e civilizada
