SOUZA, Elsine Carneiro. Praia de Iracema: fatores de estagnação de um espaço turístico à Beira-Mar. 2002. 85 f. : Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Pró-Reitoria de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação, Programa Regional de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente, Fortaleza-CE, 2007. / Submitted by demia Maia (demiamlm@gmail.com) on 2016-05-12T16:29:55Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2007_dis_ecsouza.pdf: 1568855 bytes, checksum: 84ad0817d5e05a99edee07a95d79ab94 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by demia Maia (demiamlm@gmail.com) on 2016-05-12T16:38:06Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2007_dis_ecsouza.pdf: 1568855 bytes, checksum: 84ad0817d5e05a99edee07a95d79ab94 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-05-12T16:38:06Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 2007_dis_ecsouza.pdf: 1568855 bytes, checksum: 84ad0817d5e05a99edee07a95d79ab94 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007 / Leisure has become something that people really value nowadays and it's not just about having fun anymore. Based on that, one can perceive that the urge for traveling and the search for confort and pleasure outside their habitat has generated the strengthening of the tourism industry in the world. With that in mind, it's of paramount importance to realize that the tourism sector can be a tool that will produce collective profits provide that it's accomplishe in a sustainable way. As an example of a touristic site in which the relationship between the use and occupation have not become sustainable just like Praia de Iracema in Fortaleza. One can perceive that since the foundation of this area, the object evidenced two cycles of life, one in which it was valued and an other at times being degrading and at other times both processes taking place simultaneously, being static nowadays. Considering the social relevance of the object, this present work aims at understanding which factors contributed to the static state of a coastal touristic site. In order for that to happen, it was necessary the historical analysis of the phases experienced in that neighborhood through newspapers, magazines and photos sources, having bibliography related to the theme as supplement. Eventually, the author came to the conclusion that due to its attractiveness, Praia de Iracema was the target of real state speculation with he aid of tourism industry united haphazardly, causing the predatory exploitation of its space. In order for that reality to be modified, it is necessary to compreend that the value of touristic sites cannot be aimed at the economical aspect nevertheless it must stem from subjective values of each one. / O lazer, na modernidade, firmou-se como valor individual e não apenas como atrativo. Percebe-se, assim, que o anseio pela viagem e a busca de comodidades fora do habitat tem gerado o fortalecimento da indústria turística no mundo. Com isso, deve-se atentar para o fato de que o turismo pode ser uma ferramenta capaz de gerar ganhos coletivos desde que seja desenvolvido de forma sustentável. Como exemplo de um espaço turístico cujas relações de uso e ocupação se tornaram insustentável está o caso da Praia de Iracema, na cidade de Fortaleza. Constata-se que desde a sua fundação como bairro, o objeto evidenciou dois ciclos de existência, vivenciando fases ora de valorização, ora de decadência e em alguns momentos os dois processos de forma simultânea, chegando à atualidade à estagnação. Considerando a relevância social do objeto, o presente estudo tem por objetivo entender quais os fatores que contribuíram para estagnação de um espaço turístico à beira-mar. Para tanto, se fez importante a análise histórica das fases vividas pelo bairro através de fontes hemerográficas, tendo como complemento da pesquisa bibliografias relacionadas ao tema. Por conseguinte, percebeu-se que a Praia de Iracema, pela sua atratividade, foi alvo de intensa especulação imobiliária que de forma desmedida se uniu à indústria turística, ocasionando a exploração “predatória” do espaço. Para que essa realidade seja modificada, torna-se necessária a compreensão de que o valor dos espaços turísticos não pode se restringir apenas ao aspecto econômico, mas deve partir, inclusive, dos valores subjetivos de cada um.

Entre o \"movimento\" e a \"calmaria\": os ritmos das sociabilidades dos jovens na praia de Flecheiras / Between the \"movement\" and the \"calm\": rhythms of youth sociability in Flecheiras beach

Flávia Alves de Sousa 14 October 2013 (has links)
Esta tese se propõe a refletir sobre as experiências de sociabilidade dos jovens que vivem em uma pequena localidade litorânea em processo de urbanização, desencadeado principalmente pela inserção do turismo nos últimos anos. As mudanças que ocorrem no distrito de Flecheiras, localizado no município de Trairi, no estado do Ceará, compreendem a ampliação e reestruturação dos espaços de lazer, bem como às relacionadas aos aspectos socioespaciais, culturais e econômicos. A presença do outro, entre estrangeiros e brasileiros de outras regiões, representou a novidade e potencializou novos processos interativos, privilegiados nos momentos de lazer. A partir de várias estratégias metodológicas, com base na abordagem do estudo de caso, a pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender como essas mudanças alteram as sociabilidades dos jovens e como essas experiências se relacionam com outras dimensões de sua vida, uma vez que nesses momentos interativos são mobilizados conteúdos e formas diversos. O campo possibilitou pensar que as mudanças geraram novas formas de sociabilidades, manifestando tensões e conflitos entre esses jovens, observadas nas \"relações jocosas\" entre aqueles moradores do centro de Flecheiras e Barreiro e nas interações afetivas, produzindo separações entre os \"nativos\" e novas zonas de contato com o outro. As mudanças, também, provocam uma dinâmica diferente na localidade e contribuem para que os jovens vivam uma \"intermitência urbana\" entre a calmaria e o movimento, demarcada, principalmente, pelos dias de festas e maior circulação de pessoas de fora. Assim, o movimento é aguardado pela maioria dos jovens locais e geralmente constituem momentos de aproximação de valores dos grandes centros urbanos, imagens, dinheiro e tecnologias, transformando as referências locais quanto ao estilo e modo de vida desses jovens. Essas transformações apresentam intersecções com outras dimensões da vida, como o trabalho e a família. Neste sentido, a sociabilidade significa expressão das mudanças e ao mesmo tempo que incide sobre a experiência diária dos jovens, a sociabilidade traduz maneiras de pensar, sentir e agir diante dessas alterações. / This thesis proposes to reflect on the experiences of sociability of the young people who live in a small coastal town in urbanization process, triggered mainly by insertion of tourism in recent years. The changes that occur in the locality of Flecheiras, located in the municipality of Trairi, in the state of Ceará, comprise the extension and restructuring of spaces of leisure, as well as those related to aspects Socio-spatial, cultural and economic. The presence of another, between foreigners and Brazilians from other regions, represented the novelty and potentiated new interactive processes, privileged in moments of leisure. From the various methodological strategies based on the approach of the case study, the research had as objective to understand how these changes alter the sociability of young people and how these experiences relate to other dimensions of their lives, a time that these moments are mobilized interactive content and forms various. The field allowed thinking that the changes generated new forms of sociability, expressing tensions and conflicts between these young people, observed in \"jokey\" relations between those inhabitants of central Flecheiras and Barreiro, and in affective interactions, producing separations between the \"native\" and new areas of contact with the other. The changes, also, cause a different dynamic in the locality and contribute to that young people live a \"urban\" flashing between the calm and the movement, sharply demarcated, mainly, by days of festivities and greater movement of people from outside. Thus, the movement is eagerly awaited by the majority of local young people and generally are moments of approximation of values of large urban centers, images, money and technology, transforming the references locations regarding the style and way of life of these young people. These transformations have intersections with other dimensions of life, such as work and family. In this sense, the sociability means expression of changes and at the same time that focuses on the everyday experience of young people, the sociability translates ways of thinking, feeling and acting in response to these changes.

Proposta metodológica para análise da capacidade de carga de praias: estudo de caso em três praias do Guarujá (São Paulo) / Methodological proposal for an analysis of the load capacity of beaches: a case study in three beaches of Guarujá (São Paulo)

Juarez José da Silva 23 November 2012 (has links)
O município do Guarujá, localizado na Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista (litoral central de São Paulo) tem como principais atividades econômicas o Complexo Portuário-Retroportuário de Santos-Cubatão-Guarujá, o Pólo Polindustrial de Cubatão e o turismo de segunda residência. A cidade recebe, anualmente, grande população turística, cuja quantidade de pessoas pode variar de acordo com os períodos de temporada, feriados prolongados e fins de semana ensolarados. Nos períodos de maior aporte a infra-estrutura local torna-se insuficiente e inadequada para suportar a demanda. O presente estudo visa estudar esses limites e fazer uma análise mais detalhada dos fenômenos socioeconômicos ligados à capacidade de carga de três praias próximas ao centro urbano, Pitangueiras, Astúrias e Tombo, esta última recentemente agraciada com o selo internacional de qualidade Bandeira Azul. A metodologia prevê a avaliação das diferentes capacidades de carga (Capacidades de Carga Física, Capacidade de Carga Econômica, Capacidade de Carga Ecológica, Capacidade de Carga Social e Capacidade de Carga Recreativa), por meio de seus indicadores. / The city of Guarujá, located in the Santos Metrpolitan Region (central coast of São Paulo) has as its maisn economic activities of the Port Complex-Retroportuário Santos-Cubatão-Guarujá, the Pole Poleindustrial Cubatão tourism and second homes. The city receives annually, a large tourist population, which many people may vary according to the periods of the seasons, long weekends and weekends sunn. In peiods of greater contribution to local infrastructure becomes insufficient and inadequate to support the demand. This study aims to study those boundaries and make a more detailed analysis of the socio-economic phenomena related to the load capacity of tree beaches near the city centers. Pitangueiras, Asturias and Tombo, the latter recently awarded the international seal of quality Blue Flag. The methodology provides for the evaluation of different load capacities (Load Capacities Load Capacity Recreation), through its indicators.

Poet/ Editor/ Publisher: a catalogue and selected correspondence of H.D., Bryher, and Sylvia Beach, from 1918 to 1931

Eckenroth, Lauren D. 13 October 2020 (has links)
Poet/ Editor/ Publisher is an annotated edition of the selected correspondence of Sylvia Beach, publisher and owner of the Shakespeare and Company bookstore, the writer and editor Bryher (Annie Winifred Ellerman), and her partner, the poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle). The years covered by this selection, 1918 to 1931, are some of the most prolific for these women and for modernism. Beach published James Joyce’s Ulysses, H.D. wrote several books of poetry and prose, Bryher established POOL Productions and Close Up, the first magazine devoted to film criticism, and much more. The relationships fostered among H.D., Bryher, and Beach express an unconventional model for creative production—one more concerned with helping each other than making a profit. This model is expressed not only in Bryher’s publishing endeavors and financial support of Shakespeare and Company and other artists in her sphere, but also in the well-documented sacrifices Beach made to bring out Ulysses. Chatty and endearing, the letters demonstrate the way these relationships passed seamlessly from social to professional and back again. They are full of gossip, but also valuable professional advice and encouragement. For Bryher and H.D., who lived in Territet, Switzerland, Beach provided an essential connection not only to a major center of avant-garde art, but also, and more practically, to the mechanisms of distributing modernist writing: publishers, editors, literary journals, and printers. This dissertation joins a recovery of the work of women in the early twentieth century as well as a reconsideration of the roles each woman played in developing the modernist canon. These letters offer evidence of the influence of each woman’s efforts on an international network of artists and insight into the labor behind the great works of modernism.

Vertical zonation of three species of California limpets (Acmaeidae) as a function of predation

Bros, William Ernest 01 January 1978 (has links)
Various studies indicate the acmaeid limpet species Collisella digitalis, Collisella pelta and Notoacmea scutum inhabit different vertical zones in the rocky-intertidal region. At Sunset Bay, Oregon, Shotwell (1950) found that C. digitalis was situated in the upper intertidal C. pelta inhabited the mid-intertidal and N. scutum was located in the mid to lower zone in the rocky-intertidal region. Frank (1965) observed the same distribution patterns at Coos Bay, Oregon as did the author in the rocky-intertidal region near Dillon Beach, California. Species distributions in the rocky-intertidal region are thought to be limited from above by physical stress and from below by predation or competition (Connell 1970; Dayton 1971; Vermeij 1972; Paine 1974; Bertness 1977). The purpose of the present study was to investigate effects of the predators Pisaster ochraceus, Cancer antennarius and Pachygrapsus crassipes on the distributions of the three acmaeid limpet species particularly with respect to their lower limits.

Att kommunicera med musik : En studie om hur scenisk gestaltning kan användas för att framföra och kommunicera musik

Nilsson, Kajsa January 2020 (has links)
I dagens samhälle finns ett enormt stort musikutbud. Under de senaste decennierna har tillgängligheten alltmer ökat för envar att gå på konserter och uppleva levande musik. Denna studies syfte var att utveckla mina möjligheter som utövande musiker och flöjtist att berika en konsertpubliks upplevelse och kommunicera musik oavsett publikens förkunskaper. Det gestaltas genom framförandet av Amy Beach’s Theme and Variations for Flute and String Quartet (1916/1920). För att uppfylla syftet utarbetades tre frågeställningar som behandlade hur jag kunde öka medvetenheten om performativa aspekter i mitt musicerande, på vilka sätt en publiks konsertupplevelse kan förhöjas och hur jag kunde använda scenisk gestaltning och musikkommunikation på min examenskonsert vid Kungl. Musikhögskolan i Stockholm. Studien genomfördes metodiskt genom musikanalys och instudering av notbild och konsertbesök för att erhålla publikperspektiv. Dessutom genomfördes två intervjuer med sakkunniga personer, en tidigare musiker och en forskare tillika pedagog. Studiens resultat indikerar att ett manus bidrar till att skapa ramar och struktur i att genomföra en konsert med god kommunikation med publik och medmusiker; musikanalys ger ökad förståelse för hur musiken bäst kan framföras; visuella markörer som val av klädsel har stor betydelse för publikens upplevelser av konserten då synintryck påverkar övriga sinnen. Till sist kan slutsatsen dras att kärnan i konsertupplevelsen är att etablera en dialog och kommunikation med musiker och publik vilket betyder att den individuella musikupplevelsen hos den enskilda åhöraren under en konsert är ett resultat av ett kollektivt skapande.

Radiometric investigation of soil and beach sand in Zanzibar

Mohamed, Gharib Hamza January 2020 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This study presents the results of radiometric investigation of soil and beach sand in Zanzibar. The activity concentration of natural radionuclides (40K, and 232Th and 238U decay products) in beach sand and soil samples was measured in-situ using the NaI(Tl) and the MEDUSA gamma ray detectors and ex-situ using the low background HPGe detector system. The activity concentrations of 232Th, 238U and 40 K in beach sand are much lower than in soil samples, with one major exception at Kukuu. Two beach sand samples from Kukuu beach were found to have enhanced radioactivity levels due to the presence of heavy minerals. The spatial distributions maps for 40K, 238U and 232Th show large variation in soil samples for two relatively small islands. These strong variations are unexpected, that could have implications for agriculture, is one of the major outcomes of this study. The outdoor gamma dose rates obtained in beach sand and soil samples ranged from 3 to 2156 nGy h-1 and 50 to 294 nGy h-1, respectively. The highest absorbed dose rates in soil samples and beach sand are respectively 5 and 38 times higher than the average world level of 57 nGyh-1 for terrestrial doses (UNSCEAR, 2008). Apart from the Kukuu black sand samples that contain the high 238U and 232Th levels, the beach sands and soil in this study do not pose any radiological threat to the public using beaches for various activities. Based on elemental concentrations, the beach samples in the study area have been classified into four groups; silicate sand (rich in SiO2), carbonate sand (dominated with CaO), mixed sand (with high amount of CaO and SiO2) and heavy mineral sand (with high contents of Fe2O3 and TiO2. A strong correlation between SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, Zr, V, Ce, Nb, Hf, Y, La, and Nd show these elements are linked with high activity concentration of 232Th in the studied samples. Moreover, the high concentrations of Y, V, P2O5 and Fe2O3 in the beach sand samples may relate to high 238U activity concentration. This study set out to investigate how radiometric studies can quickly and easily provide an idea of the variation of soil type found over a large area as well as provide detailed information on a small scale such as the beach where heavy minerals were found. The in-situ laboratory measurements were supplemented by XRF and ICP-MS measurements of samples to investigate the distribution of heavy mineral sands.

Fall and winter population study of the macro-invertebrate fauna of Lincoln Beach, Utah Lake, with notes on invertebrates in fish stomachs.

Brown, Ralph Buckly 01 August 1968 (has links)
Due to the inconveniences associated with under ice population studies, most aquatic population studies are made during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Like most lakes little is known about the fall and winter popu-lations of the Utah Lake invertebrates. The purpose of this study is to classify, determine quantitative fall and winter population fluctuations, and obtain life history and ecological information of the macro-invertebrates at . Lincoln Beach, Utah Lake. This lake is the largest, natural occurring body of fresh water in the state and has a high potential for the production of gamefish and water-fowl. As Smart (1960) points out, an estimate of the amount of bottom fauna is the most important single stand-ard for evaluating the potential of a lake to produce fish. It is also an important consideration in the evaluation of waterfowl habitats (Barnett, 1964).
