The phenomenon of those without religion, represented by the designation without religion, occupies the third highest percentage of religious identification in Brazil. In the 2010 Census, people with no religion represented 8.04%, corresponding to more than 15 million individuals. The scope of this article is people without religion without religion, which we designate as without religion with belief. Our objective is to highlight some signs of weakening of the religious heritage that have repercussions on the phenomenon of the non-religious. To this end, we approach urbanization as an aspect that contributed to the weakening of the religious heritage, because it favored the recomposition of collective memory and dynamized the reconfiguration of identities through mobility and displacement. Furthermore, we point out the weakness of the transmission of tradition, cooperating with the recomposition of religious memory, with the reconfiguration of religious identification. Finally, we present some data and analysis of the field research carried out with undergraduate students and postgraduate students in Sciences of Religion at PUC Minas, showing the signs of weakening of the religious heritage and the recomposition of memory in those people without religion who believe. The methodology used was mixed, consisting of a theoretical framework and field research, using a structured digital questionnaire. We conclude, according to the data from the field research, that urbanization contributed to the weakening of the religious heritage, that there was precariousness in the transmission and recomposition of religious memory. Thus, we evidence the occurrence of remodeling in social and religious bonds, which manifest in the religious identification that exposes the absence of religion and the conservation of belief, in the individualization of belief and in the deinstitutionalization, as features of people without religion with belief.

The municipality of Jacareí, SP, presents an urban spot that houses a diversified and industrial park. This article focuses on analyzing the effect of industrial growth on the urbanization process in the city of Jacareí, SP. The study was developed considering the qualitative documentary approach and presents a theoretical study and bibliographic review. Among the results, it is observed that the process of implementing industries in the municipality constitutes an element that induces the occupation and growth of the urban area since the decline of the coffee economy at the end of the 19th century.The inauguration of President Dutra Highway in 1951 represented a new vector that started to guide the development of the municipality, whose expansion followed in the direction of the new highway and along the roads connecting the central core with Dutra. It was identified a scenario of industrial expansion and urban planning intensified by the movement towards the interior of the industry and the proximity to São José dos Campos.

This article discusses the word gentrification, identifies its origin and questions the abusive extension of this notion by covering what would be essential to urbanization, normalizing the positivity of urban improvement and generalizing what would be a typical phenomenon in the city of London. Remember the analysis carried out by Engels (1873) who spoke of Hausmann's "method" to describe the segregation and the transformation urban of Paris as results of the reproduction of capital in the construction industry. It analyzes why in the real estate-financial economy of the 21st century, the production of space has become much more significant and how the neoliberal orientation of planning prioritizes corporate urbanism, trivializes urban struggle and integrates local and global processes with rentierism. Criticizes the notion of gentrification as an insufficient denunciation, proposing the development of the theory of the value and the land rent for a more coherent defense of the right to the city.

The research had as its themes: urban regeneration, tourist urbanization, and public space; the object of the research was the squares XV and Mauá, of the urban tourist destination of the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ, Brazil). The aim of the research was to demonstrate the role of space syntax as an attribute for tourist urban regeneration, in view of the discussion predominantly guided by socioeconomic criticism within the themes involved. To this end, as methodological procedures we used a bibliographic review based on bibliographic metrics about the themes and object of research, document analysis, and surveys of the use of space were adopted when taking the instruments of the Theory of Space Syntax as method of approaching the data collected. The results showed that the Theory of Space Syntax can be contributory to the Henri Lefebvre theory of space production; at the same time that the theory of the production of space, in its aspect of “perceived space”, can use the Theory of Space Syntax as instrumentality. The need to insert the Henri Lefebvre categories of space production is pointed out in the face of an essentially syntactic analysis of space or an essentially socioeconomic analysis of the tourist territory; it seems that it would be a simplification or a reductionism to point out only spatial attributes or only social attributes (socio-economic in most cases) as responsible for the performance of the public space of squares in urban tourist destinations.

The objective of this article is to historicize the process of implementation and expansion of the water supply net work that took place in the city of Campo Grande, capital of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), in the period between 1921 and 2000. Dialoging with Urban History, the article discusses the relation ships between the urbanization of the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, the growing demand for drinking water and the initiatives of the public power to meet the respective demand. Within the delimited thematicsc opeand considering the fixed chronological frame work, we highlight some technical aspects of the water supply system implemented in Campo Grande; we analyze data on the political and financial management of the servisse and presentin formation on the gradual expansion in the supply of network water. The text gives special attention to thein volvement of several public institutions in the management of water supply in the city of Campo Grande. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this essay, the fundamental bases of the Urbanization Theories were analyzed through the perspective of the Environmental Biotechnology, aiming to contribute to the development of urban projects that help the maintenance of life. It sought to understand how, over the years, urban dynamics had an impact in the quality of life and well-being of the population and environment. Comparatively, it was investigated how power and domination structures influenced processes of socio-environmental risk and vulnerability, thereby influenced situations of environmental injustice that are replicated since the industrial cities of the 19th century to the urban structures of today. In addition, an attempt was made to establish a parallel between the capital circulation in the cities and the production of these urban spaces as a way to serve a select group of inhabitants from the centers and from the peripheries. The analysis allowed the identification of different factors in the foundations of Urbanization Theories which are articulated with the well-being and the quality of life of the population and environment. Throughout the discussion, relevant aspects of the capital, urban structure, gentrification process, centers and centralities were detailed, showing illustrative examples on the occurrence of urban events and their respective impacts on the production of urban space and on the human and environmental life. Therefore, it was inferred that the complementarity among sciences is essential to understand the complexity of urbanization and to attend the urban planning challenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The resumption of the State's role in urban infrastructure in recent decades has resulted in a large cycle of investments in transportation infrastructure in Brazil, particularly in RMRJ, supported mainly by federal resources. The objective of this article is to analyze this cycle of investments, highlighting the distribution of financial resources and their spatialization in the RMRJ. The lack of priority to the historical challenge of socio-spatial inequalities resulted in the concentration of investments in the capital, which, in turn, accentuated the unequal and excluding urbanization.

Population growth in urban areas, observed in recent decades, combined with the lack of urban planning and the increase in rainfall intensity has been the reason for frequent flooding in medium and large cities. Thus, this research aims to obtain, by remote sensing, information on the evolution of land use and occupation, from the analysis of satellite images, and implement them, using the SCS Method, to provide flow hydrographs surface of the hydrographic basins inserted in the urban perimeter of the city of Londrina/PR. For this purpose, satellite images of the LANDSAT series were obtained and, soon after, a supervised classification by regions was carried out in order to obtain four distinct soil covers: exposed soil, undergrowth, dense vegetation and urbanized areas. Subsequently, after obtaining the CN values, it was possible to trace the surface runoff hietograms and hydrographs using the Alternate Blocks Method and the SCS Method, respectively. The results obtained showed that all the basins underwent an urbanization process and, consequently, an increase in the average CN and concentration time over the years. The hydrographs showed that the peak flow and the peak time were, respectively, increasing and decreasing over the years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to present a theoretical discussion about the role of tourism in the expansion and spatial reorganization of capitalism in sun and beach destinations on the periphery of capitalism. To support the discussion, we use the concept of spatial solution, in addition to the concepts of extensive and concentrated urbanization to analyze the spaces of the tourist urbanization and the spaces known as “the other side of the road” or “the second city”. It is based on the argument that tourism is an efficient instrument in the geographical expansion of capitalism as it requires a complex process of urbanization for its development. It is considered that the double process of urbanization generated by tourism is directly related to the need for capital to profitably produce and absorb surpluses in its constant search for accumulation. Thus, the discourse of social benefit and poverty reduction vanishes through accumulation practices that extractively use all possible resources for profit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The urbanization of Brás de Pina, developed empirically, enrolling its residents, can show limits and potentialities imposed at the effective popular participation. In this regard, the aim is to identify links between the "contexts of interaction", representations of stakeholders involved and participation levels achieved in the processes of design and execution developed during this experience. Using the participation typology proposed in Arnstein (2002) - the "ladder of citizen participation", was possible to conclude that neither the "contexts of interaction", nor the representations of technicians and residents were definitive for the scope of the proposed participation.

Knowing the scope of television for the dissemination of information, entertainment, and ideologies, this paper investigates the characterization of two characters' speech features from two Brazilian soap opera works: O Sétimo Guardião (2018), and Verdades Secretas (2015), seeking to recognize if the representation can lead viewers to a negative evaluation of characters based on how they express themselves by speaking, or if the representation legitimizes speech as mark of identity. We based the analyses on the Sociolinguistics studies, especially those of Labov (2008), Pagotto (2004), Bortoni-Ricardo (2009, 2011), and Bagno (2015). By using qualitative research following the method proposed by Bortoni-Ricardo (2009), in which the analyzed speakers are allocated in points of imaginary lines according to their linguistic expression, especially in the "urbanization continuum", we could conclude that one of the television narratives brings caricature traits, providing opportunities for negative evaluations, whereas the other brings out representation since it reliably shows the represented identities.

This work aims to analyze some elements responsible for the urban expansion of the city of São José/SC. Among them, the most important and genesis of urbanization, was the relationship with the political-administrative capital of the State of Santa Catarina. This fact triggered a process of metropolization from the 1980s onwards. Covering metropolization means understanding some determinants of the internal dynamics of the municipality, as well as the role of this municipality within the Metropolitan Region of Florianópolis - MRF. Based on the understanding that the municipality went through two distinct moments in its urban expansion, initially being a dormitory city and later building centralities and sub-centralities that consolidated São José as largely urbanized and vertical. Factors that refer to dynamic and broad spatial interactions and that interfere in the patterns of mobility and urban accessibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper argues for the occupation of public space as a prefigurative proposal of the commons opposed to urban neoliberalism. It articulates urban and political theories, based on the global cycle of protests after the 2008 crisis. The sections are: i) relations between the urban, capitalism and sociopolitical practices; ii) urban, political, and social fragmentations; iii) occupation of public space, prefiguration, and construction of the common.

This article describes a pedagogical experience on the teaching of sports in a context of training Physical Education teachers at a public university in the metropolitan region of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. We used Paulo Freire's culture circle resource to systematize part of the discipline's meetings. The experience with the culture circle converges in two distinct formative moments in the teaching of sports: 01) in the process of permanent formation of the teacher that is formed in different stages of life, including when teaching, in the process of reflection and constant action; 02) by becoming aware of the surrounding situations, the teacher promotes different ways of interpreting a phenomenon (in this case, sport), enhancing the formative transitivity of other future teachers. The experience highlights the pedagogical relevance of Freire's circle of culture, without, however, establishing some limitations of the experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article investigates how the rural is conceived in the municipal legislation of Teresina, in view of the context of bilateral agencies on local public management. The research that gave it substance was developed from a qualitative methodology, seeking, in the light of an objective hermeneutics, to interpret the meanings attributed to rural areas, taking as sources of data, bibliographic research and document analysis, notably studies on municipal policies that focus on rural, master plans, among other documents. We conclude that Teresina, constituting itself as the Brazilian capital with the highest percentage of rural geographic space, has been re-editing the behavior of conceiving the "rural" as the marginal territory, eminently used to primary activities and residual territory in relation to urban policies; in its most recent territorial plans, agendas and documents, the rural is conceived primarily from the perspective of expansive urbanization, that is, as a "waiting territory", although it has incorporated concepts from multilateral agencies into its regulations, in order to qualify territorial development policy as "sustainable".

The current panorama that concerns the urbanization of the cities, takes place through the city-to-city migration in addition to the vegetative growth. For this, the present study seeks to carry out a population projection until the year 2040 for the municipality of Santa Isabel do Pará. For this study, IBGE data were used added to the use of statistical tools to obtain more adequate, reliable and important results. for a territorial ordering through the public management of the municipality and private companies. In this study, among the estimated demographic models for population projections in the municipality of Santa Izabel do Pará, the most convenient method among those tested in this research was the Geometric, because it presents consistent results observing the populations of the 1991 to 2010 Demographic Censuses. Also, the one that best fit the census data (1991, 2000 and 2010), observing the R² coefficient, presented a positive result of 0.98, indicating that the two variables express a strong correlation. The conception of long-term hypotheses for demographic factors is of paramount importance in the development and execution of projections, as it indisputably contributes to the excellence and accuracy of the applied model.

Regardless of their topology, areas located at springs are considered permanent preservation areas in Brazil. Such areas may or may not be covered by native vegetation and contribute to the conservation of local natural resources through the determination of areas that are improper for land use in order to maintain the original plant coverage. Urban environments suffer degradation due to the lack of planning and basic sanitation. The aim of the present study was to analyze the permanent preservation area on the banks of the Salgado River in the urban zone of the municipality of Aurora, state of Ceará, Brazil. A case study was conducted involving the following steps: bibliographic review, determination of the study area, selection of indicators, on-site visits, identification of problems and the presentation of a proposed solution. The results indicated that the banks of the river were highly degraded due to urbanization and the removal of vegetation. The water resource was contaminated due to the construction of houses, enterprises and a public square in the protected area and was contaminated by residential sewage and the sewage system itself as well as solid and liquid waste from means of transportation, noise pollution and light pollution, which hinder the habitation and movements of endemic animals. In conclusion, the area limits and treatments necessary for the permanent protection area stipulated by law have not been successful due to the continued process of appropriation for urbanization. Thus, human activities cause harm to the natural environment and the population itself, exposing these elements to diseases and floods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study evaluates the territorial aspects of the sugar-energy sector (i.e., producer of both sugarcane and derivatives) in small urban centers in the region named Triângulo Mineiro (west of the State of Minas Gerais). These urban centers correspond to the seats of municipalities which have experienced a significant expansion of planting and industrial production at the beginning of this century. These centers, referred to as "sugarcane towns" in this study, have become economically dependent on the sugar-energy sector. The lack of job alternatives has established a restricted routine for the local population, despite the public authorities' interest in having this sector as a driving force for development.

Northern Dourados-MS has recently gone through a urbanization process, housing in this area closed wall subdivisions, intended for owners with high purchasing power. This article aims to understand the land context that preceded the incorporation of closed wall subdivisions and the role of social factors involved in this process, as well as to understand the concentration of this real-state project model in this area of the city. For this purpose, a documentary research was carried out methodologically as a way of identifying the processes that preceded the incorporation of the subdivisions. Then, an approach that used the Kernel density estimation was used to create density and concentration maps of closed subdivisions in the city of Dourados. Finally, a documentary investigation was carried out at both the real estate registry office and the City Hall of Dourados. The results of this study allowed the elaboration of maps and graphs, theoretically evaluating the abundance of land development in the northern portion, as well as the concentration of real-state projects.

This article aims to analyze the proposals of the current Revitalization Plan for the central area of the city of Campo Grande in Mato Grosso do Sul, to make critical inferences about it, verifying the extent to which it contemplates the human dimension in improving the quality of life for its citizens. It was also analyzed how the process of public participation in its implementation developed. To achieve this objective, the study has a qualitative approach, using documentary research as a methodological basis. Thus, the study sought to expose elements to contribute to the reflection of the indispensability of collaborative creation, active participation, and democratic urban management of public spaces, considering the human dimension in a local development process of an inclusive nature. The study allowed us to verify that, although the strategies for the requalification of the site of the Revitalization Plan for the central area cover different dimensions of the urban system and address important points treated in urbanism in the human dimension in their strategies, the greater emphasis is on the economic front than on its social front. It was also found that public participation in the decision-making processes of the Plan is still unsatisfactory since it is still governed by neoliberal principles and results more in a consultation process imposed vertically than an active dialogue.

The urban space of a city is the result of social interactions with and between people who use and experience this space, thus configuring the public sphere of a city. We can also consider that the construction of these spaces is directly related to the way in which their free building spaces relate to their built spaces. In a city of heritage character, these characteristics are added to the historical and cultural values that must be protected and valued through safeguard and protection actions. However, current Brazilian legislation acts more on the building, and even including urban complexes and their surroundings, it does not seem to consider that the safeguarding and protection of a city's heritage also involves urban planning, that is, the safeguarding and protection actions must be related to urban planning actions, present both in the master plans and in the intervention and maintenance actions of the existing public space. The general objective of this research was to establish and identify the existing relationships between urban design and urban environmental heritage that considered both the safeguard and protection aspects and the aspects of urban quality. The case study methodology was used, choosing the city of Laguna, on the southern coast of Santa Catarina. The procedures used were: the historical-structural analysis through the study of the urban evolution of the city, the registration process and the current characteristics of its public spaces. We can consider that the research thus contributed to the reflection on the practices of urban environmental heritage protection related to urban development actions and qualification of public spaces.

The text presents an overview of the eleven Catholic sanctuaries in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Considering the definitions of the Canonical Code on the subject, it concludes that the grounds and reasons for sanctuarization are diverse, as well as the spatial configurations that each situation provides. The research methodology problematizes the ways in which information about Catholic references is found in a city like Porto Alegre, which has a different situation compared to sanctuary cities. The following cases are highlighted, based both on exploratory approaches and previous publications: sanctuaries related to the main religious festival in the city; sanctuaries derived from initiatives of the local Archdiocese; a sanctuary linked to a canonization process; sanctuaries whose dynamics are based on parish functions. The result is a kind of mosaic of some of the dimensions and potentialities of contemporary Catholicism, pointing out some of the trends that run through it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The city is produced by everyone, however, it is not consumed equally. Based on this premise, this article sought to discuss the urban space of the city of Porto Seguro-Bahia and the role of tourism in the socio-spatial segregation very present in this territory. To achieve the proposed objective, a bibliographic review was carried out on the following themes: urban space, socio-spatial segregation, tourism and urbanization in Porto Seguro. Aiming to understand from what moment the city starts to be organized in tourist and non-tourist spaces, and what factors influenced the fragmentation of this space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to analyze the characteristics in the urban network of sub-regional cities, which are located between small (which do not have regional functions) and medium (which are articulated on larger scales). In Bahia, there are some cities in this group. Due to the policies of economic and administrative decentralization and deconcentration, these cities acquired new functions, when receiving state establishments of regional management. In certain cases, they have branches of companies, real estate products, etc. It is expected with this text new analyzes about these existing cities in Bahia and Brazil to advance in the elaboration of a concept or even a notion that allows a better understanding of its features, logics and articulations to avoid, from our point of view, incorrect generalizations.

In the city of Ilhéus, Bahia, urban expansion processes are directly and indirectly related to social and environmental problems. From this perspective, the objective of this work is to identify the environmental impacts resulting from the urban expansion process in the Teotônio Vilela neighborhood. Therefore, the methodology consisted of a broad theoretical review, qualitative and quantitative information surveys (basic sanitation, water supply, electricity, sewage, garbage disposal) based on the 2010 census (IBGE, 2010 ), in addition, information on the spatial-temporal evolution of land use and occupation was also considered from maps of the neighborhood in the periods 2006, 2012, 2020, available from the Annual Mapping of Land Cover and Land Use Project in Brazil (MapBiomas, 2021) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current paper analyzes the housing panorama in Brazil and focuses on social houses within the context of irregular occupation. Profound issues may be evidenced which are produced by environmental impact of such occupations on the sustainability of urban centers and the occurrence of urban dispersion and exclusion of the population. The importance of public policies is highlighted that aims at changing such reality to materialize the right to the city included in the Brazilian Constitution. A quality-quantity research has been undertaken on bibliographic and documental review on habitational deficit detected by the Fundação João Pinheiro (FJP) for the year 2019, selected through a case study on the occupation of the area known as Arroio do Padre in Ponta Grossa PR Brazil. A survey was obtained on the Brazilian habitational issue which revealed the interference of the scene in the sustainability of urban centers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The deep understanding of the subject and his environment is crucial for efficient signage projects, especially in the initial stage of pre-design or planning. When it comes to signage systems for pedestrians in large metropolitan cities, the challenge becomes even greater, as one must understand the experiences and customs of different urban characters, the sociocultural specificities of everyday life, and the digital innovations with the creation of hybrid systems. Under this scenario, human factors and ergonomics methods - in particular, the cognitive, behavioral and macro ergonomics - are crucial to expand the understanding of data in the planning stage of an urban signage system, providing a more relevant result of the process. This article will analyze and evaluate the human factors methods applied in the pre-design of the Legible London project, a well-known case study of urban signage with new technologies.

Regional journalism has its own characteristics. These peculiarities implicate from location until the content. The work we carried out was concerned with identifying the news media in the interior of the State of Paraná, notably the printed media (newspapers and magazines) and digital media (news portals and blogs) in the period 2018-2019. A survey allowed to know where each media is located in the State of Paraná and, therefore, trace a digital map of access to each of the media initiatives. The map allows you to view the concentration of news media in certain places, as well as the media absence that still exist. The crossing of data such as location, IDH, degree of urbanization, PIB and others, lets discuss why the media journalistic are in certain places and not in others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the notion that the "hinterland" has exploded in recent years. In the age of globalization - or the Capitalocene era - advances in social and technical systems have reduced the costs of circulating and exchanging goods, information, energy and capital, previously only feasible in areas of urban agglomeration. The resulting forms and processes of Planetary Urbanization emerge in any location where the interests of capital are manifested, from shantytowns to luxury condominiums and in company towns. Today, the "hinterland" is formed primarily by the geographies of extractivism and the commodities market. Using the prime example of Parauapebas, a city located in the ore-producing state of Pará in the Brazilian Amazon, a systemization of some recurring forms of urbanization and its respective processes is proposed, forming a contemporary "urban puzzle".

This paper discusses the dynamics of capital reproduction in collective housing rental market investments in Santa Ifigênia, a neighborhood in central São Paulo, during the yellow fever epidemic that hit some regions of Brazil in the late 19th century. Through the actions of Carlo Gilardi, an immigrant from Italy's Piedmont region who became an urban investor in São Paulo's rental market, the article explores the relationships between coloniality, epidemics, and strategies for controlling the urban working class. The article analyzes discourses about collective housing using primary sources such as an 1893 tenement inspection report made by a government-appointed commission, Private Works Series orders, and land transaction records.

analyzes the participation of the Rio de Janeiro's City Hall in the increment of the historical pattern of social production of the urban space, characterized by its peripheral and rarefied form of urbanity. To this end, it discusses the case of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV) in the Senador Camará neighborhood, in Rio's West Zone. The paper shows how the PMCMV reiterates characteristics of an urbanization process historically marked by socio-spatial segregation and reaffirms socio-spatial disparities, instead of being an important vector for the qualification of precarious areas and the promotion of a more egalitarian model of territorial occupation.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the Special Urbanization Areas (Áreas de Urbanização Especial, AUEs), zones established by the 2014 Masterplan of Florianópolis in which the objective of environmental preservation is combined with densification and the creation of new centralities. After the analysis of the Master Plan elaboration process, its normative content and subsequent decrees, as well as the collection of quantitative and qualitative data, a scenario permeated by difficulties in the formulation and application of the instrument was found. While the legislation is vague in terms of the expected benefits and counterparts, requiring the formulation of specific projects, the AUEs currently indicated expose a diversity of specialities and interests, currently acting as "frozen" areas and with an uncertain future.

The article aims to understand the visible elements modified in the municipality of Goioerê, during the trajectory of the extinct Agro-industrial Cooperative Goioerê Ltda - COAGEL, which from its foundation (1974), until its incorporation by the Coamo Agro-industrial Cooperative in 2012, changed the regional dynamics in which it was inserted. The methodology was acquired by the dialectical and historical materialism, through bibliographic material, as well as interviews, analysis of photographs and reports. We sought to understand the agents which propel these transformations, using the landscape as category of geographic space analysis and its close relationship with the concept of socio-spatial formation. It was concluded that there was a change in the municipality landscape, both in the urban and rural contexts, since COAGEL influenced the society as a whole, from the plantations to the spatialization of allotments.

The urban sprawl of the big brazilian cities of accelerated and disordered way sets up one of the main problems of sociable environmental character and which contribute to the distortion of natural landscapes. In this context, the water bodies, depending on your climate and landscape importance, were also influenced by this process. Thus, this research aims to analyze the changes in the surroundings of Jacarey Lake, from a time space evaluation and of the main vectors of expansion, contributing to a discussion on the environmental problems arising from the urban occupation. To do this, we conducted a survey, cartographic, bibliographic and documentary in order to analyze the urban density in the vicinity of the water body, in addition to characterize the main environmental impacts in the area. The results indicate that the water body had your occupation process accelerated mode elapsed, depending on the growth of the city of Fortaleza to your East side, which contributed to a higher valuation of urban land, however, bringing with it a host of environmental problems.

Although the Brazilian Northeast Region is known as the most Catholic in Brazil, it has a large contingent of evangelicals, especially in urban centers along the coast. This article is written with the aim of contextualizing this evangelical presence in the Northeast Region, demonstrating that the plausibility of what happens in Natal city (RN) also happens in other cities in the region. For this, some data from the IBGE Census carried out in 2010 are initially analyzed, with a focus on the dynamics of urbanization in the Northeast Region. Afterwards, the evangelical circuit as a theoretical resource that can help in interpreting the data shall be presented. Finally, the resource to Rio Grande do Norte capital city is applied, mapping its circuit based on the results of qualitative researches. As you can see, the circuit of the Potiguar capital city is a case that can illustrate the dynamics that occur throughout the Northeast Region, and in the urban centres of Brazil as a whole. The dynamics in which the references of the evangelical faith are spread over several axes beyond them, although the churches remain important, which end up forming a space for the circulation of adherents, curious people and sympathisers among them.

This article is based on the recognition that there is an imbricated relationship between urbanization, metropolization and tourism, which, therefore, guides the analysis about the consequences of the pandemic of COVID-19 on the tourism of São Paulo and Baixada Santista. More than simply reflecting on the amounts involved, it seeks to qualify the debate beyond a supposed cause and effect relationship, considering the complexity underlying the theme and the case studies. Assuming that the urban context between São Paulo and Baixada Santista has many parallels in Brazil and in the world, this study contributes to the understanding of the phenomenon of tourism in complex metropolitan dynamics. The development of certain practices under the umbrella of "pandemic tourism" indicates an accommodation in the narrative and dynamics of tourism today, despite the seriousness and uncertainties about the consequences of the pandemic.

From the point of view of a critical urban theory, this analysis article aims to examine the relationship between the production of space in the process of neoliberal urbanization, with the restructuring and rescheduling actions linked to policies and agents that produce urban space, and its current link with the phenomenon of climate change and its role in the urban restructuring of world cities. To this end, the connection between the global risk society paradigm and the rise of discourses and narratives as: resilience and sustainable urbanization associated with the phenomenon of climate change and its main disseminating agents. This analysis is completed with reflection on the construction of narratives about the role of autonomy (individual and collective) and the decentralization of the State, present in the neoliberal discourse of risk production and management and of space production in global governance. It is a qualitative research. To carry out the study, in addition to extensive bibliographic research, a documentary analysis was carried out to examine reports, websites and documents linked to multilateral institutions, among others. It is concluded that, currently, there are devices/narratives that promote the State's lack of responsibility towards the socially and environmentally vulnerable populations of cities in the Global South, and the stimulus to the privatization of common goods and public services. These devices are linked to the pattern of contemporary hegemonic neoliberal planetary urbanization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Architect (UFRJ), PhD in demography (UFMG), and with extensive experience in environmental issues, Professor Heloísa Costa presents us an accurate analysis of the introduction of environmental issues in Brazilian urban planning. It is noted that despite the theoretical advances in urban planning and the incorporation of important environmental issues over the last decades, there is still a rupture between urban studies and environmental studies - which tends to be aggravated by the difficulty of effective implementation of urban planning instruments.

Urban sustainability has been a recurrent theme in international forums. It is frequently addressed by consensus that proposes recipes for sustainable cities and defines global strategies to face the instabilities and uncertainties arising from the dynamics of contemporary urbanization. The legitimate global effort for a more just and responsible social and environmental development is recognized. However, generalizations result in a gradual process of historical erasure of the multiple forms of (re)existing. This is especially true in a region like the Amazon, where urbanization is historically made invisible and placed apart from development agendas. Thus, this work proposes a systematic analysis of concepts, ideas, and debates that define contemporary urban sustainability. Based on structuring literature, the aim is to support the creative process of a definition adjusted to the reality of an urbanization process that is born in a tropical forest region, economically targeted, and sociopolitically ignored. We start from the premise that urban sustainability and its praxis must be compatible with the social, historical, spatial, and temporal context. Thus, the concept is defined as a system of four dimensions : (i) science and technology, (ii) urban management, (iii) socio-environmental awareness, and (iv) urban life and nature. This last dimension is the integrating link that repositions the other dimensions in the context of the urban Amazon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Compensatory measures are those designed to offset negative environmental impacts and may be carried out voluntarily by those responsible for these impacts and/or required by the competent environmental agency. Therefore, this study aimed to make a qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of the success of increasing road afforestation with resources from compensatory measures, in eight neighborhoods in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. The results showed that about half of the seedlings planted by that measure were absent. The analysis of 112 streets showed the presence of 2,139 trees of the legal measure, and around 30% of the trees require maintenance. Such information can be useful for planning the city's road afforestation, supporting the taking of actions to be carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work deals with peace of mind as a personality right, highlighting the challenges of its guarantee in the Brazilian urbanistic scenario and emphasizing the most recent challenge posed by the positivization of slabs. The purpose of the research is to clarify the difficulties faced by the exercise of the right to quiet enjoyment, especially in informal urban settlements, analyzed from different perspectives, but concomitantly ratifying the existence of this guarantee to the persona. An analysis is made of the fact that the abstraction attributed to the fight against the disturbance of quiet enjoyment and the context in which this institute is inserted do not remove the credibility given to the spirit of man, which cannot be forgotten or compromised by the lack of planning and physical structure of the cities. The methodology used in the composition of this research is predominantly based on the theoretical study of doctrine, jurisprudence, and the impact caused by the change in the Civil Code with the introduction of the right of slab to the list of real rights.

This article aims to discuss popular architecture, which after the growth of urbanization and population began to be studied by Architects, Urbanists and public authorities, to develop housing strategies that would solve the significant demand for popular buildings. To this end, social housing projects were created with the aim of helping urban dwellers to find viable and economically favorable solutions, maintaining control over the quantity of housing that would be built without taking into account the quality of what was being delivered to the public. The result was disastrous. They began to deliver structurally poor housing, which disregarded the primary issue for the population: comfort and security for the families who would occupy the property. There was a favorable thought to the economy, but comfort and social stability were not observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to discuss the need for green areas in cities with accelerated rates of urbanization and to propose a better use of spaces in the face of urban problems evidenced by the large number of paved and waterproofed areas that generate climatic, sanitary and public health related problems, evidenced in the current urban context. For this, a quantitative methodological approach was used, based on bibliographic research, in order to support the discussion of this document. Thus, the studies related to green spaces in densely urbanized regions made so far describe the importance of the presence of these areas resized by urban planning, so that a better quality of life for the population and neutralize the damages caused to the environment during the Brazilian urbanization process, initiated in the 20th century and also approached in this research. At the same time, we sought to research ways in which effective methods could be developed for the implementation of these areas in urbanized regions with a microclimate and health focus.

This essay discusses the possibility of turning what Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari called "fabulating" into a collective research method, insomuch as Deleuze and Guattari identified it as the invention of a collectivity that does not yet exist, a people to come. Given our current situation, in which the vital force of contemporary collectivities is undermined by the capitalist machine, this text inquires into the possibilities of an insurrection that begins with life in schools. If, as Bergson claimed, fabulating has a dark side that is inclined to the regulation of life, a philosophy of difference, on the other hand, conceptualizes the possibilities inherent in lived immanence. To fabulate would be, then, a question of creating possible existences. As such, this text proposes to fabulate, together with students from a suburban school in the municipality of Cariacica-ES, possible conditions of collective life in the school itself. Faced as it is by the market imperatives that govern the school and its curriculum, fabulation offers an approach and a methodology that promises to overcome this negative educational climate by fashioning larger than life images that transform and metamorphose conventional representations and concepts of collectivities, thereby enabling the invention of a people to come, and the creation of a commons and of a collective body capable of creating cognitive and affective domains that expand the limits of life.

Urban evolution, a primary question of Urban Geography, has always been limited by the lack of continuous spatial-temporal data. Recently, this limitation has been overcome by the processing in Geographic Information System of sequential snapshots acquired by Remote Sensing. Therefore, we use the Landsat archive to reveal the (dis)similarities of the urbanization process (rhythm and modes) experienced by the municipalities of Braga and Guimarães between 1984 and 2016. The results show that, more than temporal (When?) or quantitatively (How much?), the urbanization process in the two municipalities presents spatial disparities (Where? and How?). The Landscape Expansion Index (LEI) highlights that more than 50% of urban growth occurs in contiguity with the pre-existing fabric. Infilling constitutes the second most important mode in Braga, but not in Guimarães, where this position is occupied by outlying growth. Consequently, in Braga the urban perimeter captures better the urbanization process than in Guimarães. Thus, LEI can make an important contribution to the understanding of diffuse urbanization, a territorial model constantly called banal, and that - due to such an assertion - has been ignored in relation to other problem-areas.

Butterflies (Lepidoptera), because they are colorful and easy to see, are great flags for conservation. In addition, they are good environmental indications and useful in monitoring ecosystems. The objective of this study was to carry out an analysis of the composition, richness and abundance of butterflies from Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden (MHNJB) of UFMG, relating these parameters with a seasonality. The collections were carried out bimonthly for 12 months (between June 2016 and June 2017). Each sampling was carried out for two days using entomological nets in each of the four predetermined areas for a total of 48 hours of sampling. 571 butterflies of 95 species were collected, 40 singles and 14 doubles. Abundance and richness do not vary between months (F = 1,227, p = 0,337; F = 1,134, p = 0,378, respectively) or between seasons (F = 0,749, p = 0,88; F = 1,045, p = 0,327, respectively). It already has a composition of different species between months (p = 0,003) and between seasons (p = 0,017). An unstabilized species accumulation curve, identified, as there are more species to be sampled in woods (T1, T2, T3 e T4) of the Museum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Goiás, the genesis of the urban network, in the sense understood by Corrêa (1994), is linked to structural changes related to the economic reintegration of the state with the Southeast region of Brazil occurred mainly from the first decades of the 20th century. These changes promoted a new dynamic for the urbanization process and consequently influenced the structuring of the state urban network. In this sense, based on bibliographical research and the survey of secondary data, the objective of this text is to present a synthesis of aspects of urbanization and the structuring of the urban network in the state of Goiás between the 1940s and 1980s.
