Esta tese investiga as correlações existentes entre os ciclos econômicos (enfatizando a localização das atividades econômicas motrizes) e os ciclos espaciais urbanos (entendidos como as “ondas” de construção da cidade). Aracaju, capital do estado de Sergipe, Brasil, foi escolhida como estudo de caso por apresentar especificidades em sua trajetória urbana e econômica. Em síntese, a cidade foi implantada em 1855, sob um planejamento inicial que se restringia a definição do traçado das ruas e ao código de posturas. As grandes áreas de mangue e regiões alagadiças não permitiram a expansão urbana com a tecnologia da época e com as condições financeiras do estado, o resultado foi uma cidade compacta. Com a descoberta do petróleo em Sergipe, na década de 1960, ocorreu o deslocamento dos escritórios da Região Nordeste de Petróleo de Maceió para Aracaju, decisão que trouxe novos funcionários a cidade, com remuneração maior que a média dos moradores até então e representando quase 10% da população da capital. Com a justificativa de fornecer infraestrutura física, diversas mudanças ocorreram. O resultado observa-se na expansão e fragmentação urbana. As áreas de concentração de atividade econômica motriz mudaram a paisagem. A área da antiga atividade motriz industrial, degradou-se e atualmente está em lento processo de requalificação urbana e “re”dinamização econômica. Nas áreas próximas à concentração de atividades de comércio e serviços surgem diversas “ilhas de crescimento”. Em áreas onde esta concentração de atividades de comércio e serviços gera externalidades negativas, ocorre o esvaziamento residencial. O processo verificado é apresentado como compatível com duas dinâmicas: a do ambiente construído como palco para a urbanização do capital e, a de atração-repulsão que pode existir na relação entre atividades diferentes. Para abordar o tema proposto, optou-se por uma análise baseada em partes de quatro teorias (HARVEY, 1985; WHEATON, 1987; ABRAMO, 2001 a, b; KRAFTA, 1992), que tratam o ambiente construído como elemento central da dinâmica do capitalismo associado: à constante criação de novas localizações como elemento de inovação, à reconstrução da parte interna das cidades através da substituição, visando maior lucratividade (WHEATON, 1982), à estratégia que a construção civil utiliza para convencer as famílias a mudarem para determinados locais – convenção urbana (ABRAMO, 2001a) e, às diferenciações locacionais que emanam da configuração urbana (KRAFTA, 1994 a, b). A partir deste arcabouço teórico foi proposta uma metodologia em que se buscou identificar e analisar: (i) cada ciclo econômico dentro do período de 1940 a 2008, e; (ii) os ciclos espaciais urbanos, nas áreas onde ocorreu a localização das atividades econômicas motrizes. A proposta de identificação e análise dos ciclos econômicos englobou os dados de cada atividade econômica (o número de pessoas ocupadas por atividade e a contribuição de cada atividade na composição do PIB municipal). A proposta de identificação e análise dos ciclos espaciais urbanos englobou características: (i) das mudanças no uso do solo e no perfil de renda do morador, (ii) da análise configuracional, e; (iii) das inovações construtivas (verticalidade-densidade e padrão-tipologia). O resultado do trabalho empírico evidenciou a diminuição do gap entre os ciclos econômicos de comércio e serviços e os ciclos espaciais urbanos. O conjunto das análises dos dois ciclos e suas correlações forneceu dados para uma leitura do trabalho empírico em convergência com o arcabouço teórico proposto. Conclui-se que na parte teórica do estudo, houve eficácia das teorias para a análise proposta ao processo urbano. A parte metodológica mostrou-se eficaz na identificação e análise das correlações, embora não se tenha obtido alguns dados para elaboração de determinadas correlações que possibilitariam maior número de dados para a medição do gap. Ressalta-se, porém, que a metodologia evidenciou a tendência de diminuição do gap entre os ciclos, confirmando a hipótese levantada pela tese, e; identificou as correlações entre os ciclos econômicos e espaciais urbanos, ou seja, apresentou as correlações entre o local de concentração das atividades econômicas motrizes industriais e de comércio e serviços e, as mudanças urbanas (nas tipologias construídas, nas densidades construtivas e populacionais e, nos perfis de renda do morador), alcançando-se assim o objetivo proposto. / This thesis investigates the correlations between economic cycles (emphasizing the location of the main economic activity) and urban spatial cycles (understood as the "waves" of construction of the city). Aracaju, capital of the Sergipe State, Brazil was chosen as a case study by presenting specific characteristics in its urban and economic trajectory. In summary, the town was implanted in 1855, under an initial planning that restricted the definition of the layout of the streets and the code of postures. The large mangrove areas and flood plains regions have not allowed urban sprawl with the technology of that epoch and with the financial conditions of the State, which resulted in a compact city. With the discovery of oil in Sergipe, in the 1960‟s, the displacement of the offices of the Northeastern Region of Petroleum from Maceió to Aracaju happened, decision that brought new employees to the city, with remuneration greater than the average of the residents until then and representing almost 10% of the population of the capital. With the justification of providing physical infrastructure, several changes occurred. The result is noted in urban expansion and urban fragmentation. The areas of concentration of the main economic activity have changed the landscape. The area of the old main industrial activity has been degraded and is currently in the slow process of urban develop and economic dynamics. In areas close to the activity concentration of trade and services appear several “islands of growth” In areas where this concentration of trade and services appear several generates negative externalities occurs emptying residential. The process verified is presented as compatible with two dynamic: the built environment as a place for the urbanization of capital and of attraction-repulsion that may exist in the relation between different activities. Regarding the approached proposed theme, it was chosen an analysis based on parts of four theories (HARVEY, 1985; WHEATON, 1987; ABRAMO, 2001 a, b; KRAFTA, 1992), dealing with the environment constructed as a central element of the dynamics of capitalism associated: to the constant creation of new locations as an element of innovation, to the reconstruction of the inner part of the cities by replacing, focusing at increased profitability (WHEATON, 1982), to the strategy that the real estate market uses to convince families to move to certain places – Urban Convention (ABRAMO, 2001a), and to the differentiations locational as a result from urban location (KRAFTA, 1994 a, b). Taking this theoretical skeleton into account, it was proposed a methodology where it was tried to find to identify and analyze: (i) each economic cycle within the period from 1940 to 2008; (ii) the urban space cycles, in areas where there was the location of main economic activity. The proposal for the identification and analysis of economic cycles involved the data of each economic activity (the number of persons employed by activity and the contribution of each activity in the composition of GDP). The proposal for the identification and analysis of urban spatial cycles involved characteristics: (i) of changes in land use and income of a resident profile, (ii), of the constructive innovations, (iii) of configurational language (verticality-density and pattern-typology). The result of empirical study showed the decrease in the gap between economic cycles and commercial services and urban spatial cycles. The group of analyses of the two cycles and their correlations provided data for a reading of empirical in convergence with the proposed theoretical framework. It is concluded that in the theoretical part of the study, there were effectiveness of theories for analyzing the proposal to the urban process. The methodological part proved effective in the identification and analysis of the correlations, although there has obtained some data to the production of certain correlations that would make possible a greater number of data for the measurement of the gap. Points out, however, that the methodology showed the declining trend of the gap between cycles, confirming the hypothesis raised by thesis, and; identified correlations between economic cycles and urban space, is presented the correlations between the concentration of the main economic activity (industrial, services) and urban changes (in typologies built, in constructive and population densities, and income of resident profiles), reaching the proposed goal.

No. of bitstreams: 1 dissertacao regina brito.pdf: 4732273 bytes, checksum: 0e6e90381180ac39460dd2d2cfcb6f7b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-06-29 / The city of Anápolis is located within the Centro Goiano mesoregion. The first settlements in that territory occurred in the mid 19th. Century, led by tropeiros developing commercial routes southbound. The city is situated in a route junction connecting important mining-based cities raised between 17th. and 18th. centuries having functioned originally as a commercial pole for supplying of those cities as well as of others located between northwest and northeast of the State. Urban growth has always been disinguished by the pressure of disordered spreadover developments within its 918,4 Km2 area. Either by public or private enterprise, urban spacial arrangement results, in a decisive way, from social policies, with a strong role played by the city administration in that sense. This research aims to detect, in Anápolis, the effect of the urban development policies approved by municipal administration from 1993 to 2004 and its consequences for the reproduction of the urban structure. For the intended accomplishment, shall be properly analized economic, social and political issues which, once spatialized, contributed for an exploratory study on the interference of public authority in evolution of urban configuration. The problem proposition stares the articulation of three essential subjects initially outlining considerations on the city while regional centre and its decoding aspects, then contextualising urban management matters and, finally, presenting municipal administrations from 1993 to 2004, confronting Master Plan goals to urban policy legal support in that term, enphasizing those aspects related to the extension of urban perimeter limits, action re-offended in several administrations / A cidade de Anápolis encontra-se inserida na mesorregião Centro Goiano e as primeiras penetrações no território onde se fundou a cidade aconteceram em meados do século XIX, por tropeiros que viajavam das regiões norte para o sul. A cidade situa-se no entroncamento das rotas entre importantes cidades que nasceram com a mineração entre os séculos XVII e XVIII e começou a cumprir a função de entreposto comercial para abastecimento dessas cidades bem como de outras localizadas entre o noroeste e nordeste do Estado. A sua evolução urbana foi sempre marcada pela pressão de parcelamentos espraiados de forma desordenada ao longo de seus 918,4 Km2. Por iniciativa pública e/ou privada, a configuração do espaço urbano é o resultado das ações sociais, com forte atuação do Governo Municipal. Neste sentido, entende-se que o papel do poder público, ao longo destes anos, foi decisivo para a evolução do espaço urbano do município. A presente pesquisa acadêmica buscou detectar, no município de Anápolis, no período compreendido entre 1993 e 2004, os efeitos das políticas urbanas aprovadas nas gestões municipais e as conseqüências destas decisões na produção de sua estrutura urbana. Para tanto, serão analisados aspectos econômicos, sociais e políticos que, espacializados, contribuíram para um estudo exploratório da interferência das decisões do poder público na evolução da configuração urbana. Esta problematização passa pela articulação de três momentos fundamentais: inicialmente, delineando considerações sobre a cidade enquanto centralidade na região e os aspectos que auxiliam a leitura do município; em um segundo momento, contextualizando a questão da Gestão Urbana; e finalmente, apresentam-se as administrações públicas municipais no período de 1993 a 2004, confrontando os objetivos do Plano Diretor às leis de Política Urbana do período, dando ênfase à discussão dos aspectos relativos à ampliação do perímetro urbano, reincidente em diversas administrações

During the 1980s, it was frequently claimed that spatial patterns of archaeological and contemporary settlements were closely related to the social nature of the societies which had created and modelled them (Hietala 1984; Hillier & Hanson 1984). Despite a decade of alternative claims, such theories are still widely accepted although in many cases the emphasis has shifted from economic factors to symbolic or social ones. The presence of a class-based social system is one of the major characteristics of Iranian society during the Sasanian era (224-651 CE). This social system was based upon the official religion of Sasanians - Zoroastrianism - and had a major impact on most aspects of Iranian society during this period. The far-reaching impact of this social system on architectural space and urban infrastructure is clearly representative of a class-based society. The collapse of the Sasanian world, accelerated by Arab invasions (641 CE), severely reduced the dominance of Zoroastrianism within Iran, heralding a fundamental change in the social life of its people. These changes, accompanied by the acceptance of a new religion, have been the focus of several researchers over the last decades (Kennedy 2001). In contrast to Sasanian society, Early Islamic social structure was characterised as one of equality and its urban forms as ones with little differentiation as typified by Medina (Zarrinkub 1993). The aim of this dissertation is to test the above assumptions and models with reference to a single urban site - the city of Barn. Selected due to its Pre-Islamic and Islamic occupations, its excellent state of preservation allows a full testing of the above assumptions through archaeological analysis. The results of this research indicate a continuation of patterns of Sasanian space and society into the Islamic period. In addition, the space and society of Bam, documented in this research, provides an important step towards a further understanding of the social and spatial organisation of Sasanian and Early-Islamic cities, as well as providing a foundation for additional research in this field.

This dissertation examines the works of four Chicana/o writers who write about Los Angeles, California urban spaces, and how the literary protagonist experiences the material realities of everyday life. The objective of this dissertation is to look at the mechanisms used by the narrator and the meaning they transmit through the description of urban space. David Harvey's theory on the Urbanization of Consciousness is used to analyze the spatial transformation taking place in Los Angeles from the 1960's to the 1980's. Moreover, I utilize Michael de Certeau's explanations of how the practices of everyday life influence the author's cartographic imaginary. These practices are manifested in the narrator's description of the physical and social space and they convey an ideological message that points to the process of urbanization of consciousness in a capitalist society. Additionally, it draws together the work of important theorists such as Henri Lefebvre, Rodolfo Acuña, Mario Barrera, and James Diego Vigil. Chapter one introduces the theoretical framework that is used throughout this study. It establishes a definition of the urbanization of consciousness and how the main characters' interact with money, family, community, class, and the State. Chapter two explains how the rapid urban development in East Los Angeles during the 1960's shaped the characters' upbringings in the novel Their Dogs Came With Them (2007) by Helena María Viramontes. Chapter three analyzes how urban space molds the consciousness of the individual in Always Running, La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A. (1993) by Luis J. Rodríguez. Chapter four examines the architectural imagination in the novel of Alejandro Morales' Caras viejas y vino nuevo (1975). Chapter five studies the urbanization of gang violence among Chicana/o youth in the work of Yxta Maya Murray, Locas (1997). My investigation leads me to conclude that the Chicana/o community became urbanized when its members began to mirror its fragmented environment and when they began to see themselves as wage workers.

Despite the attention historians have given to the Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras in Central Europe, few works have sought to understand these events' reverberations throughout the nineteenth century in a local or regional context. Taking the northern German city of Hamburg as its focal point, this study investigates the change in the urban political culture affected by eight years of Napoleonic occupation. In the process of replacing Hamburg's sprawling and archaic government with one characterized by Gallic centralization and rigor, the French introduced a new style of politics that relied on consistent, public, and martial presentations of its authority. This public presence was heightened not only by the implementation of modern policing techniques, but also by a series of choreographed, ideologically-charged public spectacles whose effectiveness relied on a clever manipulation and politicization of urban space.

The scope of this piece of work is to reflect upon a series of past and recent publications as well as those in progress referring to innovations in architectural education which has already led and/or might lead to major shifts in future practices. This is an opportunity for the author to reflect on concepts and ideas for the future of architecture which is currently undergoing innovative developments by embracing new theories and enduring professional formation according to contemporary trends. This reflective work has been based on publication of research, including ongoing editorial work related to this topic. The author’s ideas and philosophy on human-oriented design and fractal patterns of social life has embraced dynamics of urban developments in modern and future cities. She has succeeded in considering, uniquely interpreting and further developing ideas and theories of established authors, such as Christopher Alexander’s concepts on patterns and principles of design and Nikos Salingaros’ thermodynamic models of the built environment. The author was inspired by teachers and renowned scholars in history, philosophy and practices of architecture; her own teachers’ experiences and their teaching had offered a singular momentum in her personal career path. This long process started when her teachers succeeded in placing urbanism and architecture side by side inside the Faculty of Architecture of Florence back in the 1970s. Hence the author reflects not only on recent publications, but also on others that have been published in the last decade or so. In this report it is evident that materials produced during these years have been essential and invaluable for her later endeavours in learning, teaching and the training of designers and architects in Great Britain and beyond.

[pt] O presente trabalho teve por objetivo fazer uma reflexão sobre a RCCBrasil à luz das atuais transformações espaciais urbanas com a intenção de evidenciar as implicações para o meio eclesial católico. Toda a atuação da RCCBrasil no território brasileiro, desde o seu surgimento, está inserida nas principais cidades do país. Assim, é de extrema importância o destaque que esse trabalho dá às implicações do espaço urbano e suas decorrências para a composição do ambiente eclesial católico. Essas implicações permitem pensar sobre as possibilidades da ação evangelizadora em lugares marcados por novos usos, arranjos espaciais e transformações constantes. Esta dissertação vai retratar como a RCCBrasil foi estendendo suas atividades por todo o território brasileiro ao longo dos anos e organizando uma estrutura para dar suporte ao surgimento dos grupos de oração, eventos de louvor e formação. A pesquisa demonstra que o desenvolvimento da RCCBrasil foi rápido, e a diversidade regional não foi um obstáculo para o crescimento do número de membros, que são assessorados pelos diversos ministérios, pelo Escritório Nacional e pelas coordenações locais e regionais. Este trabalho ressalta a ligação da RCCBrasil com a RCC em vários países e a importância da identidade do movimento carismático católico como uma forma de reavivamento religioso que se estendeu por vários continentes. O uso dos meios de comunicação pela RCCBrasil serve como forma de divulgar suas atividades, identidade e a doutrina católica. A RCCBrasil coloca à disposição dos membros, principalmente no espaço virtual, informações sobre a Igreja Católica no Brasil e em Roma, destacando pronunciamentos dos bispos e do Papa. / [en] This current work aims at placing a reflection on RCCBrasil and the current urban space transformation in order to highlight the implications for the catholic ecclesiastic world. All the action of the RCCBrasil in the Brazilian territory since its beginning has occurred in the major cities of the country. Therefore, the focus given in this work to the implications of the urban space and its consequences in the composition of the catholic ecclesiastic environment is extremely important. These implications enable a reflection on the possibilities of the evangelical action in places marked by new uses, special arrangements and frequent transformation. This dissertation is going to portrait how RCCBrasil has stretched its activities all over the Brazilian territory throughout the years and organized a structure to support the beginning of groups of prayer, formation events and praise. The research shows that the development of RCCBrasil has been fast, and the regional diversity has not prevented the growth in the number of members, who are assisted by several ministries, by the National Office and by the local and regional coordination. This work enhances the connection between RCCBrasil and RCC in several countries and the importance of the identity of the catholic charismatic movement as a means of religious revival which has spread to several continents. The use of media by RCCBrasil grants its members the access to information, mainly on the internet, about the Catholic Church in Brazil and in Rome, highlighting the Popes and the bishops speeches.

Assim, aqui se objetiva analisar a produção do espaço urbano em Rio Claro-SP, através dessa valorização, a qual faz com que localizações privilegiadas no centro da cidade, mais precisamente ao redor de seu Jardim Público, com construções antigas (casarões e palacetes de famílias renomadas), cedam lugar ao consumo do e no espaço, onde agentes modeladores atuam de forma concentrada criando um número elevado de estacionamentos. A especulação imobiliária é maciça, tornando o espaço mera mercadoria. Neste trabalho também se analisa o papel do poder público, quanto ao planejamento e a gestão dessa área, além do posicionamento da sociedade civil. / Abstract: Nowadays, it is possible to notice a form of production and reproduction of urban space, which can be verified from the capitalist perspective point of view: the use of space. There has been analysis of the production of urban space in Rio Claro-SP. Privileged locations downtown, more specifically around its Public Garden, with old buildings (mansions and palaces of renowned families), creates consumption of space, where modular agents act in a concentrated way creating a lot of parking. The real estate speculation is massive, making the space a mere commodity. This study also examines the role of the public government system, the planning and management of the area, beyond the position of civil society. / Mestre
