O presente trabalho procurou analisar a aplicação da Lei Federal de Crimes Ambientais no que concerne aos maus tratos a animais domésticos na cidade de São Paulo. Através da análise do arquivo de processos indeferidos do GECAP, Grupo Especial de Combate aos Crimes Ambientais e de Parcelamento Irregular do Solo Urbano, localizado no Ministério Público de São Paulo, foi lançada uma hipótese acerca da dinâmica estabelecida para averiguação das denúncias, considerando os atores sociais envolvidos nela. Partindo da ideia de que o sistema jurídico é, muitas vezes, uma forma de manutenção do status quo para controle de alguns grupos sociais considerados perigosos à ordem estabelecida na cidade, procurou-se averiguar, com o trabalho de campo organizado em gráficos e tabelas que relacionam renda, número de denúncias e ocupação do espaço nas Subprefeituras da cidade, como o direito ambiental poderia reproduzir uma lógica de criminalização da pobreza. Para isso, buscou-se identificar se existe relação entre espaços considerados periferias e maior número de denúncias. Além disso, por ser um crime que ocorre no espaço privado dos denunciados, a presente pesquisa investigou brevemente as dinâmicas entre privado e público na cidade de São Paulo e se o acesso ao espaço privado é mais facilitado em espaços horizontalizados e de periferia. Nos espaços centrais e verticalizados, o processo de gentrificação, que expulsa os mais pobres das regiões supervalorizadas, concentra espaços de periferia e investigou-se o direito ambiental atuou como forma de denunciar e de expulsar aqueles considerados inadequados à nova configuração estabelecida nesses locais. / The present work sought to analyze the application of the Federal Law on Environmental Crimes in relation to the mistreatment of domestic animals in the city of São Paulo. Through the analysis of the file of rejected cases of GECAP, a Special Group to Combat Environmental Crimes and Irregular Urban Land Installment, located in the Public Prosecutor\'s Office of São Paulo, a hypothesis was launched about the established dynamics to investigate complaints, considering the actors involved in the cases. Starting from the idea that the legal system is often a way of maintaining the status quo to control some social groups considered to be dangerous to the established order in the city, it was tried to ascertain, with the field work organized in graphs and tables that they relate income, number of denunciations and occupation of space in the subprefeituras of the city, as environmental law could reproduce a logic of criminalization of poverty. For this, we sought to identify if there is a relationship between spaces considered as peripheries and a greater number of denunciations. In addition, because this crime occurs in the private space of the denounced, this research briefly investigated the dynamics between private and public in the city of São Paulo and whether access to private space is more facilitated in horizontal and peripheral spaces. In central and vertical spaces, the gentrification process, which expels the poorest of the overvalued regions, concentrates peripheral spaces and investigated the environmental law acted as a way of denouncing and expelling those considered inadequate to the new configuration established in these places.

No meio acadêmico internacional, há décadas, discussões vem sendo empreendidas, especialmente pela Sociologia e pela Antropologia, em defesa de uma outra ciência possível, que considere plenamente as crianças como protagonistas e participantes da vida em sua totalidade, e, como desdobramento disso, em suas pesquisas. Mais recentemente, pesquisadores da Geografia vem se colocando nesta arena de vozes, como sujeitos enunciativos da Geografia da Infância, defendendo que as crianças não apenas estão no espaço geográfico ou o ocupam, mas, se apropriam dele, bem como o produzem. Neste ínterim, nos embrenhamos pelas sendas da Geografia da Infância, campo de estudo que está se constituindo no Brasil desde o início do presente século e, ao mesmo tempo, nunca estará constituído, porque processo feito COM as crianças, seres humanos plenos, impassíveis de catalogação. A pesquisa de doutorado que ora apresentamos foi realizada junto com vinte crianças moradoras do Bairro Dom Bosco, em Juiz de Fora - MG. Bairro que, conforme o Plano Diretor do município, é uma Área de Especial Interesse Social (AEIS), apresentando condições precárias de habitabilidade. Contudo, o Dom Bosco tem sido impactado, sensivelmente, pelo que chamamos de reestruturação capitalista do espaço, de modo mais contundente a partir da década de 1990 - com a instalação e ampliação de equipamentos urbanos segregacionistas e o aumento da especulação imobiliária. Em 2008, a população do bairro Dom Bosco viu de muito perto a inauguração do primeiro shopping de padrão luxuoso de Juiz de Fora, o Independência Shopping, bem em frente de suas portas e janelas (aqueles que as tem). O aparente progresso não conferiu ao Dom Bosco sair do rol dos bairros mais empobrecidos da cidade, continuando a ser um bairro de ausências relativas a infra-estruturas mínimas de habitabilidade. E, pelo contrário, a chegada do Shopping removeu a maior área de lazer pública a que a população do bairro Dom Bosco tinha acesso, a Curva do Lacet. Nossa entrada no bairro e os primeiros contatos com as crianças, pouco a pouco, foram nos encaminhando a uma problemática central de pesquisa: O que é o bairro Dom Bosco para as crianças que nele moram? Com seus desenhos, impregnados de suas falas pulsantes de suas vidas, as crianças nos possibilitaram alcançar nosso objetivo pautado em apreender as lógicas utilizadas por elas para delimitar o Dom Bosco delas. As crianças participantes nos mostraram que suas definições de bairro não se alinhavam aos limites político-administrativos do poder público e aos ditames das iniciativas privadas e nos levaram à busca de uma teoria que pudesse dialogar com o que elas nos revelaram. Disso, surgiu nossa aproximação com a teoria histórico-cultural de Lev Semionovitch Vigotski, que, certamente, desvela-se também espacial. Para além do escopo construído a priori, as crianças do bairro Dom Bosco nos apresentaram suas geografias, nos instigaram a pensar num conceito de Bairro- Vivência e, assim, contribuíram para o estado da arte da Geografia da Infância. / In the international academic world, for decades, discussions are being undertaken, especially in Sociology and Anthropology in defense of another possible science, which considers the children as protagonists and participants of life in its entirety, and as a extension that, in their research. More recently, geography researchers has been putting in this arena of voices as enunciative subject of Geography of Childhood, arguing that children are not only in the geographic space or occupy it, but that they also take possession of it, as well as they produce it . Meanwhile, we engage in the paths of Geography of Childhood, field of study that is forming in Brazil since the beginning of this century and at the same time it will never be fully complete because the process is being done WITH the children: full human beings, impassive of cataloging. The doctoral research presented here was conducted with twenty children living in the suburb of Dom Bosco, in Juiz de Fora-MG. According to the urban planning of the city, is a Special Area of Social Interest (AEIS), with precarious living conditions. However, Dom Bosco has been impacted significantly by what we call capitalist restructuring of space, more forcefully from the 1990s - with the installation and expansion of segregationist urban infrastructure and increasing property speculation. In 2008, the population of the Dom Bosco saw very closely the opening of the first luxury pattern shopping mall of Juiz de Fora, \"Independência Shopping\", right in front of your doors and windows (for those who have it). The apparent progress not allowed Dom Bosco leaves the ranks of the poorest neighborhoods of the city, continuing to be a region of absences on minimum infrastructure habitability. Instead, the arrival of the mall removed the largest public recreation area that the Dom Bosco neighborhood population had access, the Lacet curve. Our entry in the neighborhood and the first contacts with children, little by little, were directing us to a central problem of the research: What is the Dom Bosco neighborhood for children who live in it? With their drawings, impregnated with pulsating lines of their lives, the children enabled us to achieve our goal guided to grasp the logic used by them to delimit what Dom Bosco is for them . The participating children showed us that their neighborhood definitions are not aligned to political and administrative boundaries of government and the dictates of private initiatives and led us to search for a theory that could dialogue with what they showed us. Hence, it arose our approach to the historical-cultural theory of Lev Semionovitch Vygotsky, that certainly is revealed also spacial. Beyond the extents built a priori, Dom Bosco\'s neighborhood children presented us their geographies, inspiring us to think of a Neighborhood-Experience concept and thus contributed to the state of the art of Geography of Childhood.

That specific phase has been marked by the creation of the Metropolitan Habitation Company and by one of its major interventions: the building of a COHAB in the neighbourhood called Cidade Tiradentes . Other than that, we believe that our chronological and thematic cutting is justified by the fact that in that same context the ideal of urban planning expanded itself along with the establishment of several organizations, laws and urban and habitation projects. The city went through significant urban and demographic transformations as a result of the great increase in its population and the building of those popular homes in the city outskirts. We assume that the public power sphere lead some of the city s needy population into a process through which their homes were moved more and more to the suburbs, specially by the implantation of projects such as the COHAB built in the Cidade Tiradentes. Nevertheless, we also think that people interacted with the government s actions, (re)creating social and cultural territories and alternative ways of inhabiting the city. In terms of method, along with the official documentation we also used as analysis material some magazines, newspapers, photographs and the personal experience of some inhabitants of Cidade Tiradentes and neighbourhoods alike. We have seeked to build a dialog using the diversity of our literature and other study sources we have collected. We have gone along the building of Cidade Tiradentes, pointing out that it was formed through the government intervention in a context of outskirting of the popular homes. However, we also assume that the locals played main roles in the creation of their own territory and in the conception of their way of life, not always accepted by the township / Este trabalho objetivou apreender o sentido dos discursos e iniciativas referentes à moradia popular entre a segunda metade da década de 1960 até o final da década de 1980 na cidade de São Paulo, tendo como objeto de estudo a atual subprefeitura da Cidade Tiradentes e a COHAB. O período foi marcado pela criação da Companhia Metropolitana de Habitação e pela constituição de uma das suas principais intervenções: a COHAB-Cidade Tiradentes. Além disso, acreditamos que nosso recorte cronológico e temático se justifica porque naquele contexto ocorreu a expansão do ideário do planejamento urbano e a constituição de vários Órgãos, Leis e Projetos Urbanísticos e Habitacionais. A cidade vivenciou significativas transformações urbanas e demográficas com o crescimento expressivo da sua população e construção dos conjuntos habitacionais populares em sua periferia. Partimos do princípio de que o poder público induziu parcelas das camadas populares paulistanas a um processo de periferização de suas moradias, especialmente através dos projetos da COHAB como o implantado na Cidade Tiradentes. Porém, também pensamos que a população da cidade interagiu com as ações do poder público (re)criando territoriedades socioculturais e formas alternativas de habitar o município. Metodologicamente, além da documentação oficial, analisamos jornais/revistas, fotografias e depoimentos de moradores da Cidade Tiradentes e de outras espacialidades. Procuramos colocar em diálogo as diferentes informações das fontes e da bibliografia estudada. Acompanhamos que a Cidade Tiradentes constitui-se a partir das intervenções do poder público num contexto de periferização da moradia. Porém, ponderamos que a população daquele lugar também atuou criando territoriedades e formas de morar nem sempre aceitas pela municipalidade

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo de estudo a relação envolvendo a periferia e o seu processo de reposição na metrópole de São Paulo, tendo por base o estudo realizado no bairro do Cabuçu, no município de Guarulhos. A complexidade urbana do momento atual comporta diferentes análises no sentido de sua interpretação. Partindo-se desse pressuposto, o que se analisa neste trabalho é a atual condição da periferia na metrópole de São Paulo face as promessas da modernidade relacionada ao desenvolvimento urbano. Essa modernidade, acompanhando a evolução do capitalismo, leva a instituição propriedade privada à posição de centralidade, transformando esta numa das principais marcas da sociedade moderna. Em meio a tantas alternativas acerca da complexidade urbana atual, a escolha aqui feita foi a de analisar a periferia enquanto uma realidade sócio-espacial que, do ponto de vista desta reprodução ampliada, deve ser incessamente resposta ao longo do território da metrópole, não excluindo as contradições inerentes a esse processo. Por sua vez, esse movimento incessante vincula-se ao próprio sentido do urbano, que é reproduzido a partir da lógica do capital, e à impossibilidade no alcance das promessas da modernidade. A metrópole chega à atual fase enquanto um território que, dentre vários outros desdobramentos, passa a enfatizar a relação entre o capital especulativo e o mercado imobiliário. Vem daí a intensificação da especulação imobiliária, que é articulada longo do território da metrópole. Como consequência, a reposição da periferia, que se consubstancia em função do drama cada vez maior da moradia, passa também a ser um movimento articulado nessa mesma metrópole. / This task has as na aim of study the relation which involves the suburb and its processo f replacement in São Paulo city, having as a fundamental support the accomplished study in Cabuçu district in Guarulhos city. The complexity, for the time being keeps diferent analysis in the way of its interpretation starting from this pretext what studies in this task is the presente situation of São Paulo metropolis suburb according to the promises of modernity in the relation to the suburb development. This modernity with the capital evolution takes private property institution to the center point, changing it into the most principal marks of the modern society. Among so many alternatives around the present urban complexity, the done choice here was to analyse the suburb as the reality of associate space that, by the point of view of this bigger reprodution must be constantly replaced in the metropolis land not excluding contradictions inherent into this process. However, this constant movement goes to its own urban way which is remade from a capital logic and impossibility in reaching modernity promises. The metropolis gets to the present moment as a territory that, among several developments, begings emphasizing the link between speculative capital and real state market. From this point, the intensification of speculative real state comes and it is articulated in the metropolis land. By as consequences, the suburb repositiion that gets worse according to the misery which becomes bigger in the dwellings and also becomes being na articulated movement in the same metropolis.

Cette thèse explore la relation entre urbanisme et transport par l’étude de projets de bus en site propre dans dix villes de la proche banlieue parisienne, territoire qui dispose à la fois d’une accessibilité correcte à la ville-centre et d’opportunités foncières susceptibles de constituer un réel potentiel de « reconstruction de la ville sur la ville ». À travers l’étude de documents d’archives, elle retrace la genèse, entre propositions, négociations, adaptations et déploiements de ces projets de transport, et la complète par l’analyse de l’évolution des territoires urbains traversés, sur une période de 30 ans, grâce notamment à l’exploitation de la base de données des Modes d’Occupation des Sols de l’IAU-IDF. En s’appuyant sur cette double démarche, cette thèse tente d’appréhender le concept d’« urbanisme orienté par les transports collectifs » et met en évidence des stratégies contrastées des communes traversées face à l’arrivée de ce type de projet de transport, ainsi que les corrélations qui peuvent exister entre ces stratégies, l’histoire de ces communes et leur composition socio-démographique. Elle révèle également des écarts entre les volontés affichées et les réalisations conduites ou les résultats obtenus, écarts dont les causes peuvent être diverses, mais qui permettent de mieux comprendre les efforts qui restent à conduire dans différents domaines pour mieux assurer la cohérence entre projets transport et projets urbains. Les exemples traités montrent que le projet de bus en site propre peut constituer le socle d’une action en faveur d’un « urbanisme orienté par les transports collectifs » ou n’engendrer qu’un « transport orienté par le développement urbain ». Dans les deux cas, on peut considérer sa réalisation comme une réussite selon les critères de performance du système de transport, ou estimer que dans le second cas, une partie seulement des potentialités du projet ont été réalisées, et qu’il est possible d’en tirer des enseignements pour faire évoluer les pratiques et les dispositifs existants / This thesis explores the relationship between urban planning and transport, by studying dedicated bus lanes projects in ten cities of the near Parisian suburb, a territory which has both correct accessibility to the city-centre and real estate opportunities, so that it can constitute a potential of « rebuilding the city over the city ». By studying archival documents, it traces the genesis of these dedicated bus lanes, from propositions, to negotiations, adaptations and deployments, associated with the analysis of the urban evolution of the concerned territories, during 30 years, mainly by using the land-use database from IAU-IDF. By this double approach, the research tries to understand the concept of « Transit Oriented Development » and assesses contrasted strategies of concerned cities toward these types of projects, and highlights the correlation between these strategies and city’s history and the social demographic composition. It also reveals the gap between the stated will and undertaken implementation or achieved results, a difference that may have various causes, but also enables to understand the different efforts that must be made to ensure the coherence between transport projects and urban projects. A dedicated bus lane can be a basis for an action in favour of a « Transit Oriented Development » or lead to a « development oriented transit ». In both cases, we can consider its implementation as a success, according to transport systems criteria, or deem that in the second case, only a part of the project potentialities were achieved, and that it is possible to learn from these experiences to develop the current practices and process

<p>The purpose of this study was to investigate youth’s experiences of what meaning the nonprofit youth project Husby Marathon had on their social capital and self-identity. In order to answer the purpose a qualitative methodology was used based on interviews with four of the participant youths. Two teories were used, Social capital by Robert D. Putnam and Selfidentity by Anthony Giddens. The result indicates that the project has had a significant impact on the creation of social capital, in particular bridging social capital which was strengthened by an extended social network that the participants were offered. A strong social bond developed within the project, which also helped to strengthen the bonding social capital. Civic awareness was raised among the participants which also established a trust towards strangers and the society. Different parts of the project has given the participants opportunity to reflect on their identity. The participants have gained self-efficacy by learning goaloriented methods which has generated new and evolved self-identity. This has shown to increased the youths ability to make decisions and lifestyle choices. The results generated a development of three new concepts that are important for the integration of youth in suburbs. The two first concepts are "social self-identity" and "commitment-building social capital" and these two led to the final concept "social self-resource capital".</p>

<p>There are many good reasons to ponder about what it is that makes life worth living. To observe and reflect on what it is that gives a person a good quality of life is arguably the essential core of social-work. The aim of this research was to investigate how 15-year old youths interpret quality of life. The key areas that we explored in order to meet the research aims were: what did the youths interpret as a good quality of life for a 15-year old and for an adult, how did they view their own quality of life, and did they think that the regional context (i.e. if one lives in a big city or in a small town) affects how one interpret quality of life.</p><p>The studywas based on interviews with four boys and four girls. Half of the respondents lived in a suburb of Stockholm and the other half lived in a small country town. A qualitative method was used to interview the respondents individually. The results were analysed by using Brülde´s theories on quality of life. The results show that to a large extent the youths in both areas shared each others values – a loving and supportive family was deemed to be the most important factor for a good quality of life, followed by friendships and recreational-time for young people and job satisfaction for adults. However, the two groups differed in two ways.</p><p>The suburban youths declared that they experienced a lot of school-stress which the small-town youths did not experience. Also, the Stockholm respondents identified several aspects that could make their lives better. In the contrast none of the small town respondents could identify ways to improve their lives. Explanations for these differing responses are explored in the study.</p>

<p>There are several typical ideas about the suburb. The suburb is often associated with criminality and other social problems such as segregation. The purpose of this essay is to study the picture of how the suburb is constructed in a media context. The method used to answer the purpose of this study is critical discourse analysis, based on the thoughts of Norman Fairclough. The central theoretical ideas for this study are representation, stereotypes and racialization. They are all in a way linked to power.</p><p>Within the media suburb discourse I have distinguished two different discourses. The stereotyped discourse and the challenging alternative discourse have been found in both articles and interview. It is the alternative discourse that challenges the stereotyped one. You can say that the alternative discourse is created in an attempt to change the representations of the suburb. The stereotyped discourse is in spite of the changing attempts still the dominant one.</p><p>The media treatment of the suburb has created several stereotypes and the negative and criminal picture has become a common frame of reference in a social consciousness. In my empirical material I have seen traces of a form of underlying ideology called racialization. Racialization is based on different simplifications and categorisations of gender, class and “race”. This ideology has an influence in every level of society, which means that the editorial office despite their purpose also, reproduce the stereotyped discourse. It shows the difficulties to change an established discourse like the stereotyped one. It is important to challenge these ideas to be able to make a difference in the way we speak, think and stigmatize the suburb.</p>

<p>The aim of this paper is to examine how young men of foreign background are pictured in the realistic adolescence novels of 2009. In my process of work I have used a classical schedule for literature analysis from which I have worked out a few questions to use on my texts. The questions are related to the main characters and some of the most important minor characters – all are young men with foreign background – and focuses on aspects of for example where they live, who their friends are and what they think about and dream of.</p><p>To put these pictures into a wider perspective I compare my results with the well known stereotype picturing of men with foreign background in media. I then discuss how or if this affects the young men’s picture of themselves and the majority society’s picture of them. Another part of my discussion is how school can provide good role models for their students and how and if we can work with these stereotypes. To relate to young men with foreign background I have used two culture studies.</p><p>The result of my analysis shows that the picturing of young men with foreign background tends to be stiff and static and closely stereotype. My conclusion is therefore that the picturing of young men with foreign background in the realistic adolescence novels of 2009 is familiar to the ones we can see in media. And from looking at the two culture studies I used, I can see that the stereotype pictures tend to affect how these young men picture themselves and also how the majority society pictures them. This can in the long run be dreadful for the self-image of these young men.</p>
