[en] CONTRIBUTION AND PERSPECTIVES OF BIKE SHARING SYSTEMS FOR MOBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY IN RIO DE JANEIRO / [pt] CONTRIBUIÇÃO E PERSPECTIVAS DO SISTEMA DE COMPARTILHAMENTO DE BICICLETAS PARA MOBILIDADE E SUSTENTABILIDADE NA CIDADE DO RIO DE JANEIRO

AFFONSO ANDRE MELLO DE OLIVEIRA 05 June 2017 (has links)
[pt] O incentivo ao transporte cicloviário vem recebendo crescente atenção nas políticas de transporte como elemento capaz de auxiliar positivamente para a redução do uso do automóvel nas cidades. Entre as diversas ações voltadas para o aumento da participação do transporte cicloviário está a implantação de sistemas de compartilhamento de bicicletas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a contribuição do sistema de compartilhamento de bicicletas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, o Bike Rio, para a mobilidade e para sustentabilidade urbana com base nos objetivos associados ao SCB. Esta avaliação se baseou principalmente no resultado de pesquisas realizadas com usuários e em dados sobre o sistema de transportes da cidade, sobre as emissões de gases de efeito estufa no município e sobre o funcionamento do Bike Rio, além da comparação com os sistemas de compartilhamento de bicicletas de Paris, Viena e Barcelona. Os resultados deste trabalho também permitiram verificar os principais fatores capazes de limitar a expansão do modal cicloviário na cidade. Apesar de apresentar perspectivas favoráveis para sua expansão, observou-se que o Bike Rio ainda não é capaz de contribuir de modo relevante para a mobilidade e para sustentabilidade na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. / [en] The concept of sustainability, when associated with the urban space, goes beyond the limits of the environmental discourse and also includes economic and social factors related to human activities. In this context, different forms of public transport may play a relevant role. The model of urban development that promotes the use of private automobiles has caused problems to the quality of life of city dwellers. However, there are ways that can help reducing the impact of motor vehicles used by individual drivers. One of them is the promotion of the bicycle as a mean of urban transport. The use of bicycles in an urban centre can be an addition to the existing public transport system by increasing its capacity and limitations and by replacing other existing means of transport for short distances.

[pt] IMPACTOS DA IMPLANTAÇÃO DO TELEFÉRICO COMO SISTEMA DE TRANSPORTE NAS FAVELAS: O CASO DO COMPLEXO DO ALEMÃO / [en] IMPACTS OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF CABLE CAR AS TRANSPORT IN SLUMS: THE CASE OF THE COMPLEXO DO ALEMÃO

[pt] Esta pesquisa disserta sobre as soluções de mobilidade urbana em favelas de encostas como parte integrante do planejamento urbano, tendo como foco a implantação do sistema de transporte teleférico e como estudo de caso, o teleférico do Complexo do Alemão. Inicialmente é apresentado um panorama histórico das intervenções do poder público nas favelas do Rio de Janeiro e como se desenvolveu a mobilidade urbana nessas áreas. Em seguida, é exposto o problema da mobilidade nas favelas e a implantação de equipamentos alternativos de transportes. Os Projetos de implantação do teleférico Metrocable em Medellín, o teleférico de San Augustín em Caracas, o teleférico do morro da Providência e o projeto para o teleférico da favela da Rocinha são expostos como exemplos desse sistema. No Estudo de caso, foram analisados os impactos da implantação do teleférico no Complexo do Alemão, sua eficiência e principalmente, os custos de execução, operação e os custos sociais. Considera-se que o impacto estudado é moldado por análises contextuais, avaliações empíricas de visitas ao local, entrevistas com os moradores e usuários do sistema em questão, conteúdos bibliográficos e análise de indicadores. / [en] This research is on urban mobility solutions in favelas (slums) on hills as an integral part of urban planning. With a focus on the implementation of cable cars as transport systems, this research examines the cable car of the Complexo do Alemão as a case study which is located on the north side of the city of Rio de Janeiro. In Chapter 1, the research outlines the problem of poverty and absence of urban planning in Brazilian cities, which has intensified since the 1950s because of the rapid influx of migrants in search for work in the great economic city centers. Currently in Rio de Janeiro, 22 per cent of the population lives in favelas. The population of the favelas grew disproportionally in the last two decades, four times more than the population of the officially recognized areas of the city. The problem of housing in the favelization process of the city is aggravated by poor sanitation, violent conflicts, problems with security and safety, a lack of public services, poor access, precarious urban mobility, irregular services like illegal connections to electricity, among other problems. Additionally, there is the overarching problem of urban mobility. Spatial segregation makes it difficult for low-income populations to move from one place to another and is mainly due to the historical selection of occupations in isolated and peripheral areas of the city. The problem of mobility is further aggravated by underdeveloped transitional areas between the rural and urban parts of the city especially when, like in the case of this research, those populations occupy areas with steep hills. The chapter continues by tracing a history of public policies affecting the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, from the first removal of tenement houses in the city center in the nineteenth century, to the developmental policies of today. The chapter follows the formation of the first favelas with an occupation organized by the people who were removed from tenement houses and who needed to live near the economic city centers, the eventual expansion to other areas, the first removal policies for temporary housing and subsequently a more rigid posture of the state in regard to favelas. The 1960s and 1970s were periods marked by the removal and political denial of favelas, it was only in the 1980s that the state began to provide public policies to improve favelas. Thus, there has been a gradual acceptance of these occupations in the landscape of the city. Beyond the social problems aforementioned, Chapter 2 points more specifically to the problems of mobility in favelas on hills because of high building density, risks of landslides and precarious road access. In Rio de Janeiro, the state started to intervene in regard to the issue of mobility in favelas during the first term of Leonel Brizola (1983-1987), with the construction of the Inclined Plane in the Pavão Pavãozinho favela. But it was not until the Favela Bairro program that mobility initiatives were executed on a much wider scale, the program initiated walkways and improved stairs which greatly increased accessibility and the flow of traffic on road networks. With an urbanization policy for favelas in motion, other urban mobility transport systems were established, like the inclined plane on the Hill of Santa Marta in 2008 and the elevator of Cantagalo in 2010. While these transport systems assert the presence of the state in marginal communities, the daily transportation of the residents are mainly local options like vans and motorcycle taxis which continue to play a fundamental role and also contribute to the local economy. This generates income for residents because many of the people working with this type of transport also live in the favelas. The chapter then describes cable car technology and looks at specific examples of cable cars built or planning to be built in the favelas of Latin America. The lines of Medellin are used as an example because they inspired so many others like San Agustín in Caracas, Complexo do Alemão in Rio de Janeiro, Providencia in Rio de Janeiro and the cable car project of Rocinha in Rio de Janeiro. The city of Medellin for many years suffered from violence generated by drug trafficking and came to be known in the early 90s as one of the most violent cities in the world. The high murder rate and violence receded after a series of investments that occurred in the city, mainly investments towards urbanization, education and security. The urban planning of Medellin was based on major public interventions through specific projects in the poorest sectors of the city. Initially structured around the cable cars, called Metrocables, and spatially articulated with other projects extended to formal sectors of the city, known as Urban Integral Projects (Proyectos Urbanos Integrales-PUIs), the aim of these initiatives was to connect various urban spaces. One of the characteristics of these projects was the emphasis on aesthetics as an engine for social change. This aesthetic quality to the new cable cars resulted in an increase of residents self-esteem but was also criticized for its stark contrast with poor local reality. In 2004, the Line K of the cable car was constructed in Comunas 1 and 2, and initiated an urban planning of the city based on the theory of Social Urbanism, with several projects aimed at improving infrastructure and education in favelas. In 2010, Line K was supplemented by a transfer to the Line L, which goes to the Arvi Park, an ecological park created on the border of a green area to Comuna 1, stimulating tourism. There is also Line J which meets Comunas 7 and 13, inaugurated in 2008. Medellín has become a model for other cities to adopt the cable car system for transportation in favelas. One example was the cable car of San Agustín in Caracas, designed as an important integrator between the favela and the rest of the city. In January 2010, the system started was connected to the subway. In contrast to Medellin, the Metrocable system in Caracas is characterized with large stations that integrate cultural facilities, sports arenas, and shopping centers together in one convenient location. The estimated daily demand during the planning stages of the project was 15 thousand passengers. Approximately 40,000 people live in San Augustin which means that the demand estimate would amount to 37.5 per cent of the residents. The data in 2012 showed that only 4,500 passengers use the system daily, about three times less than expected, showing that the cable car, which cost 318 million dollars, is being underutilized. In Rio de Janeiro, in the favela Morro da Providência, there is a cable car built and because the favela is considered the first favela in Rio, current projects by the municipal government show that there is interest in promoting tourism and to integrate it with the dynamics of cultural and historical revitalization of the port area and the cable car is the vehicle proposed for this purpose. However, the Hill of Providence (Morro da Providência) is suffering from forced evictions, mainly due to the Morar Carioca project, an urban program of the city government. These interventions have not been discussed with the residents and involve the demolition of nearly half of the residences. The idea is to replace the residences with a historical and cultural center in the favela. According to the city administration, about 42 houses block, in the context of urban landscape, the view of the chapel located at the highest point of the hill and thus those 42 houses would have to be removed. Although the construction of the cable car has also caused the removal of a few houses, its implementation is linked more with tourism in the favela. Various resident led protests organized with activists and supported by critical news sources released in Brazil and abroad, put the Hill of Providence in the spotlight as an example of the negative impact of mega-events on the poor. Consequently, after the injunction obtained in a lawsuit, the projects in the community are at a standstill and the houses that were scheduled to be removed remain standing. In Rocinha, the PAC 2 (Accelerating Growth Program is a federal program that has as the main objective the development of the country through the planning and execution of large urban infrastructure, works in the transportation sector and the energy sector) provides for the cable car installation, an elevator, escalators, and other mobility infrastructure. This project is very controversial because the cable car project has an estimated budget of 700 million reais, an amount that would consume approximately 44 per cent of the total amount available for the PAC 2. Most debate is on the residents priorities, which if considered would require that the funds be applied to the sanitation of the favela, which the current project does not guarantee. In the project under study, the cable car will connect to the future subway station of Line 4 in São Conrado to the top of the favela and have 6 stations distributed in two lines, 2,500 meters long. This would be the third cable car built in the favelas of the city, reflecting a state trend to adopt this transportation method in favelas. It seems that cable cars are more than a modal of mass transport, but also as a way to enter favelas as a new tourist attraction of the city. In Chapter 3, the case study is presented about the cable car of Complexo do Alemão, an integral part of PAC. The cable car was built with 3.4 km in length, 152 cabins half of which are in regular operation, while the other half is parked. The system has six stations and the capacity to carry 30,000 passengers daily. The path between the first transfer station with the train, the Bonsucesso Station, and the last stop, the Palmeiras Station, is traversed in about 20 minutes. Using other means of transport, the time to travel the distance between these two places is about 40 minutes. The six stations are located on the tops of hills that form the intricacies of the favelas and therefore, many residents complain about the accessibility of the system. For those who live far away and do not see advantage in climbing the hill to use the system, it is more common to use van or motorcycle taxis to move around. This is the main reason that the cable car is underused even though residents are entitled to two free trips per day. According to the Supervia, which operates the system, the daily movement of people is about 10,000 to 11,000 people, but, as we reported, the equipment has been design for a capacity of 30,000 passengers per day. The construction of the cable car cost the government R$ 210 million, equivalent to 22.35 per cent of the total PAC work in Complexo do Alemão, and the operating cost is about 50.1 million reais a year. What we can conclude is that the cable car has a relatively high operating cost for low use by residents, and it is also expensive to build. The high investment in the cable car is not justified when there are still major problems to be solved in favelas. One of the main complaints made by residents is the lack of investments in priority areas, such as basic sanitation. As part of this research a survey was given to 50 residents. When asked if the resources used to cable car execution, being very high, could be implemented in other areas, 74 per cent said yes. Among the responses on areas where resources should be invested, they pointed mainly to sanitation, health and education. Some health problems in the favelas worsened while tourism has increased with the use of the cable car. Also according to the data from the Supervia, the percentage of passengers with gratuities, i.e. registered residents using the cable car during the week is 75 per cent and the percentage of those who paid the fare, mostly tourists, is 25 per cent. On weekends, the number of visitors almost doubled: 54 per cent of gratuities and 46 per cent of tourists. The cable car has always had a tourist appeal due to its comfort and excitement by offering the experience of getting a suspended adventure of great heights with a privileged view of the favela landscape. This also happens with the cable car of the Complexo do Alemão, but in another context, within a patrimonialization effort of those spaces. The research makes clear that even with the difficulties within a space precariously built, mobility solutions that were initially created by the residents are still the most used, for example, the alternative transport system like vans and motorcycle taxis. To establish that the cable car is the solution for urban mobility on slopes of slums is quite questionable, as each case requires a specific and detailed study. In the case of the Complexo do Alemão, for example, both positive and negative factors were found. On the one hand the cable car considerably reduced the Bonsucesso travel time to some community points and provided connection with the train, on the other, the number of users contained does not justify its high cost. It is also clear that the general population in favelas want more primary rights met like access to health care, the installation of sewer systems, and competent schools as their priority.

[en] GLOBAL TALENT MOBILITY: IMPACT OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NATIONAL CULTURE OF THE HOST ACCORDING TO THE EXPATRIATES PERCEPTION / [pt] MOBILIDADE INTERNACIONAL DE TALENTOS: IMPACTO DAS CARACTERÍSTICAS DA CULTURA NACIONAL DO PAÍS ANFITRIÃO SEGUNDO PERCEPÇÃO DOS EXPATRIADOS

PAULO HENRIQUE OLIVEIRA DA SILVA 25 May 2023 (has links)
[pt] O processo de mobilidade global de talentos ganhou maior relevância nos últimos anos em razão da necessidade de competências específicas em diversos países, massificação da cultura corporativa em empresas subsidiárias no exterior ou por razões de desenvolvimento de competências no profissional a ser expatriado. O objetivo cerne da presente dissertação é demonstrar que um dos pilares chaves para o sucesso do profissional transferido ao exterior é a adaptação à cultura do país anfitrião. Para o atingimento deste objetivo utilizamos metodologia qualitativa, com foco exploratório descritivo, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, que foram conduzidas com profissionais expatriados. Ao longo da presente dissertação identificamos que dificuldades no processo de adaptação podem potencializar situações de choque cultural ou até mesmo interromper a jornada internacional do funcionário transferido. Em contrapartida, os funcionários que possuem maior inteligência e agilidade cultural tendem a ser ajustar com maior sucesso à cultura do país anfitrião, mitigando potenciais efeitos em suas performances profissionais e colhendo melhores frutos em suas jornadas internacionais. O aprofundamento do presente trabalho permitirá correlação futura com os modelos de dimensões culturais existentes, que poderão funcionar como meio complementar no processo de seleção de futuros expatriados, permitindo identificar aqueles que possuem maiores competências culturais e consequentemente facilitando seu processo de adaptação à cultura do país anfitrião. / [en] The global talent mobility process has gained greater relevance in recent years due to the need for specific skills in different countries, massification of corporate culture in subsidiaries companies located abroad or for reasons related to developing individual s skills. The main objective of this work is to demonstrate that one of the key pillars for the success of the professional transferred to work abroad is the need of adapting to the host country s culture. To achieve this objective, we used a qualitative methodology, with a descriptive exploratory focus, through semi-structured interviews, which were conducted with expatriate professionals. Throughout this dissertation, we identified that difficulties in the adaptation process can enhance situations of culture shock or even interrupt the international journey of the transferred employee. On the other hand, employees who have greater intelligence and cultural agility tend to adjust more successfully to the culture of the host country, mitigating potential effects on their professional performance and reaping better results on their international journeys. Deepening the present work will allow future correlation with the models of existing cultural dimensions, which may work as complementary means in the process of selection of future expatriates, allowing the identification of those who have greater cultural competences and consequently facilitating their process of adaptation to the culture of the host country.

[pt] CIDADE SEM CATRACAS: PENSANDO A CIDADE DA LIVRE CIRCULAÇÃO / [en] CITY WITHOUT RATCHETS: THINKING THE CITY OF FREE CIRCULATION

ISABEL THEES CASTRO 20 September 2016 (has links)
[pt] Fixos e fluxos. A grande cidade é um fixo enorme, cruzado por fluxos enormes. O que acontece quando a ordem desses fixos e fluxos é subvertida? Qual a espacialidade de uma cidade cuja ocupação de seu território e circulação não sejam guiados e estabelecidos pela lógica da funcionalidade e pelos imperativos da circulação do valor? Em junho de 2013 cerca de 388 cidades brasileiras foram palco de manifestações populares cujo estopim foi o aumento da tarifa do transporte público. No entanto, a demanda extrapolava a reivindicação pela revogação do aumento. A demanda era também pelo direito à cidade, direito à livre circulação e acesso a tudo o que a cidade oferece. O Movimento Passe Livre, articulador dos protestos que ficaram conhecidos como Jornadas de Junho, coloca a questão urbana, da mobilidade e também da disputa do espaço nas cidades na pauta política do país. O movimento pensa na cidade, na sua ocupação e circulação. Uma circulação inclusiva, uma circulação que permite o desvendamento, o uso e a apropriação da cidade. Uma imaginação urbana que subverte sua lógica de ocupação espacial em um grau de utopia que não vem do urbanismo e da arquitetura. O objetivo geral desse estudo é contrapor diferentes ideias de cidade tendo como fim a definição da noção de cidade subjacente nas propostas do Movimento Passe Livre. / [en] Fixed and flows. The big city is a huge fixed, crossed by huge flows. What happens when the order of these fixed and flows is subverted? What is the spatiality of a city in which the occupations of its territory, as well as its circulation, are not established by the logics of functionality and imperatives of movement of value? On June, 2013, around 388 Brazilian cities were the theater of riots in which the main focus were the public transportations tariff raise. However, the claims have overcome the revocation of such raises. The claims were also for rights to the city, free circulation and access to whatever the city may offer. Movimento Passe Livre – MPL, the main perpetrator of the riots, which were also called Jornadas de Junho puts the urban question of mobility and also the space competition at the Country s political agenda. MPL approaches the city, its occupation and circulation. An inclusive circulation, that allows the unveiling, usage and appropriation of the city. An urban idealized view, subverting the logics of occupation in such an utopia that does not belong to urbanism or architecture. The main objective of this work is to interpose different city concepts aiming to define the city envisaged by MPL.

[en] BRINGING HUMILITY TO GLOBAL MOBILITY / [pt] TRAZENDO HUMILDADE PARA A MOBILIDADE GLOBAL

SYLVIA FREITAS MELLO 26 April 2023 (has links)
[pt] A economia global está promovendo um ambiente cada vez mais ambíguo e competitivo para empresas que operam além-fronteiras. Para suportar a demanda dessa globalização, as empresas multinacionais precisam de expatriados competentes para o sucesso de suas operações no exterior. Essas designações internacionais podem oferecer oportunidades únicas de crescimento e desenvolvimento, mas também exigem que os expatriados se adaptem efetivamente a novos ambientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever como o comportamento humilde do expatriado opera em designações internacionais corporativas. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 19 gerentes, incluindo expatriados sênior (Assigned Expatriates - AEs) e gerentes de Recursos Humanos /Mobilidade Global. As questões que compuseram o roteiro de entrevista foram divididas nas seguintes categorias: 1. Comportamentos humildes expressos, 2. Relevância do comportamento humilde, 3. Contexto em que comportamentos humildes de expatriados são mais exigidos em designações internacionais; e 4. Efeitos: humildade contribuindo para a adaptação do expatriado. O processo de análise foi baseado na análise de conteúdo, para extrair as percepções dos expatriados e do RHs sobre as categorias abordadas. Os resultados sugerem que a humildade é importante para todos, mas a falta de humildade na Mobilidade Global pode ser um obstáculo. A humildade constrói conexões, confiança e relacionamentos confiáveis e de longo prazo, e contribui muito para a adaptação do expatriado em designações internacionais. O estudo também mostra que a humildade precisa de condições favoráveis para florescer, podendo estar associada à fraqueza, em determinados contextos, como aqueles em que o líder é visto como um herói, ou em culturas que valorizam a competição, o individualismo, a alta distância do poder, o confronto e em momentos que exigem agência. A pesquisa destaca que a humildade cultural é fundamental para expatriados, que lideram com uma mentalidade global. Portanto, as organizações devem aprimorar o processo de seleção, enfatizando a contribuição de um comportamento humilde para os candidatos a uma designação internacional, e oferecer programas de treinamento intercultural que incluam o aspecto comportamental, com foco nas três dimensões da humildade expressa: autoconsciência; valorização dos outros e capacidade de aprendizado. / [en] The global economy is promoting an increasingly ambiguous and competitive environment for companies operating across borders. To support the demand for this globalization, multinational companies need competent expatriates for the success of their operations abroad. These international assignments can provide unique opportunities for growth and development, but they also require expatriates to adapt effectively to new environments. The purpose of this study was to describe how expatriate humble behavior operates in corporate international assignments. Semi structured interviews were conducted with 19 managers, being senior assigned expatriates (AEs) and Human Resources/Global Mobility experts. The questions that made up the interview script were divided into the following categories: 1. Expressed humble behaviors, 2. Relevance of humble behavior, 3. Context in which expatriate humble behaviors are more required in international assignments; and 4. Outcomes: humility infusing expatriate adaptation. The analysis process was based on content analysis, to extract expatriate and HR perceptions about the categories covered. Results suggest that humility is important to all, but lack of humility in Global Mobility can be a road blocker. Humility builds connections, trust and reliable and long-term relationships, and highly contributes to expatriates´ adaptation on international assignments. The study also shows that humility needs favorable conditions to flourish, and it may be associated with weakness, in certain contexts, such as those where the leader is seen as a hero, or in cultures that value competition, individualism, high power distance, confrontation and in moments that require agency. The research highlights that cultural humility is fundamental to assigned expatriates, who lead with a global mindset. Therefore, organizations should improve the selection procedure, emphasizing the contribution of a humble behavior to candidates for an international assignment, and offer Cross-cultural training programs that include the behavioral aspect, with a focus on the three dimensions of expressed humility: self-awareness; appreciation of others and teachability.

[pt] VULNERABILIDADE DO SISTEMA DE TRANSPORTE À MUDANÇA CLIMÁTICA: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DOS PLANOS DE MOBILIDADE URBANA / [en] VULNERABILITY OF THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM TO CLIMATE CHANGE: AN ANALYSIS FROM URBAN MOBILITY PLANS

NATALIA MORAES SILVA 06 June 2022 (has links)
[pt] Embora frequentemente se afirme que o sistema de transporte é um setor social, economicamente importante e particularmente vulnerável às mudanças climáticas, ainda há poucas pesquisas sobre sua adaptação. Assim, o objeto de estudo deste trabalho é a vulnerabilidade e a adaptabilidade do sistema de transporte urbano frente à mudança climática. O objetivo é identificar o nível de contribuição atual e potencial dos Planos de Mobilidade Urbana, para a redução da vulnerabilidade do sistema de transporte, frente à mudança climática. O estudo parte da análise dos planos de mobilidade das cidades de Belém, São Luís e Manaus. Para isso, a metodologia segue as orientações de uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, ancorando-se no levantamento bibliográfico, bem como na análise de documentos e notícias jornalísticas, analisados a partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Em síntese, pode-se destacar que nas cidades analisadas, a Mudança climática ainda não é percebida como um problema de relevância local. Ainda que esteja presentes nas diretrizes dos planos de mobilidade ações para a mitigação, esta não é específica para a mudança climática, sendo somente uma medida padrão para a redução da poluição nas cidades. Quando trata-se da adaptação do sistema de transporte para a redução da vulnerabilidade sócio climática, as políticas públicas praticamente não direcionam ações específicas. / [en] Although it is often stated that the transportation system is a socially, economically important sector that is particularly vulnerable to climate change, there is still little research on its adaptation. Thus, the object of study of this paper is the vulnerability and adaptability of the urban transport system to climate change. The objective is to identify the level of current and potential contribution of Urban Mobility Plans to reduce the vulnerability of the transport system to climate change. The study starts by analyzing the mobility plans of the cities of Belém, São Luís and Manaus. For this, the methodology follows the guidelines of a qualitative research, anchored in the bibliographical survey, as well as in the analysis of documents and journalistic news, analyzed using the content analysis technique. In summary, it can be highlighted that in the cities analyzed, climate change is not yet perceived as a problem of local relevance. Even though actions for mitigation are present in the guidelines of mobility plans, these are not specific to climate change, being only a standard measure for reducing pollution in cities. And when it comes to adapting the transportation system to reduce socio-climatic vulnerability, public policies hardly direct specific actions.

[pt] O IMPACTO DOS MÚLTIPLOS CONTEXTOS SOCIAIS NA CONSTRUÇÃO DA TRAJETÓRIA DE JOVENS PROFISSIONAIS ORIUNDOS DAS CAMADAS POPULARES / [en] THE IMPACT OF MULTIPLE SOCIAL CONTEXTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUNG PROFESSIONALS FROM THE LOWER CLASSES

MARCELO JUCA QUINTAO 20 September 2021 (has links)
[pt] Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender de que maneira os múltiplos contextos sociais impactaram na construção da trajetória profissional de ex-alunos oriundos das camadas populares de uma renomada IES privada do Rio de janeiro, cujo público, também, é composto por jovens das elites socioeconômicas. Para atingir este objetivo buscou-se identificar: i) de que forma os múltiplos contextos sociais, ao longo da trajetória profissional, inibiram ou habilitaram as relações desses jovens com seu meio tanto na constituição de um portifólio de capitais como nas estratégias (não) intencionais individuais e familiares, bem como nas disposições dos indivíduos; e (ii) quanto à persistência de barreiras que contribuem negativamente para a mobilidade social. Deste modo, este estudo contribui para a discussão acerca da mobilidade social nos estudos em Administração, partindo do pensamento de Pierre Bourdieu frente à distinção gerada pelo condicionamento social e dialogando com pensamento de Bernard Lahire, no afastamento do olhar homogeneizante do habitus. A pesquisa realizada foi de natureza qualitativa, utilizando entrevistas em profundidade com ex-alunos bolsistas de graduação de diferentes cursos. A análise dos resultados revelou que existem barreiras socioeconômicas e culturais que impactaram na trajetória profissional dos jovens bolsistas. Não obstante, a partir da influência dos múltiplos contextos nessas trajetórias, identificamos o desenvolvimento de um portifólio de capitais, resultado de vivências que permitiram o movimento de mobilidade social. Em última instância, os jovens pesquisados, apesar de terem enfrentados obstáculos diversos em suas trajetórias de vida e educacional, lograram obter postos trabalho qualificados que os habilitaram a ascender socialmente. / [en] This research aimed to understand how the multiple social contexts impacted the construction of the professional trajectory of alumni from the popular strata of a renowned private university in Rio de Janeiro, whose audience is predominantly composed of young people from socioeconomic elites. In order to achieve this objective, we sought to identify: i) how the multiple social contexts, throughout their professional trajectory, inhibited or enabled the relations of these young people with their environment both in the constitution of a portfolio of capital and in the (un) intentional strategies individual and family members, as well as in the dispositions of these trajectories; and (ii) regarding the persistence of barriers that contribute negatively to social mobility. In this way, this study contributes to the discussion about social mobility in Management studies, starting from the thinking of Pierre Bourdieu in the face of the distinction generated by social conditioning and dialoguing with the thinking of Bernard Lahire, in moving away from the homogenizing look of the habitus. The research carried out was of a qualitative nature, using in-depth interviews with former undergraduate scholarship students from different courses. The analysis of the results revealed that there are socioeconomic and cultural barriers that impacted the professional trajectory of the young scholarship holders. Nevertheless, based on the influence of multiple contexts in these trajectories, we identified the development of a portfolio of capitals, the result of experiences that allowed the movement of social mobility. Ultimately, the young people surveyed, despite having faced different obstacles in their life and educational trajectories, managed to obtain qualified jobs that enabled them to ascend socially.

[pt] A aprendizagem móvel ou m-learning cuja definição se desdobra no processo de aprendizagem apoiado pelo uso de dispositivos móveis é um campo de estudo que vem chamando a atenção de diversos estudos multidisciplinares. Esta pesquisa tem como hipótese que o estudo contínuo com o suporte de um aplicativo móvel de ensino de língua estrangeira, em um smartphone, intensifica a possibilidade da proficiência, pois permite o estudo em múltiplos contextos de uso, facilitando a frequência e acesso ao conteúdo para seus usuários. Sob o ponto de vista da área de Interação Humano-Computador e utilizando técnicas de Design Centrado no Usuário, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo a investigação dos fatores que contribuem para a construção contínua de conhecimento dos usuários de uma aplicação móvel de ensino de língua estrangeira. Três abordagens orientaram a pesquisa: a primeira foi uma revisão histórico-evolutiva do ensino a distância, para entender como os processos pedagógicos estão convergindo para tecnologias móveis. A segunda foi uma breve análise da arquitetura de informação e da experiência do usuário para delimitar o funcionamento dos principais aplicativos de ensino de línguas do mercado brasileiro, similares ao Duolingo e por último Testes de usabilidade e Diário de Uso para coleta de dados que confrontem a hipótese. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que o Duolingo apresenta, no geral, boas características de usabilidade. Isso reforça que a hipótese é válida quando os fatores de motivação dos participantes apresentam o tênue equilíbrio entre rotina diária, parcial proficiência no idioma estudado e objetivos claros de aprendizagem. / [en] Mobile learning whose definition unfolds in the learning process supported by the use of mobile devices is a field of study that has been drawing the attention of several multidisciplinary studies. This research has as hypothesis that the continuous study with the support of a mobile application of foreign language teaching, using a smartphone, increases the possibility of the proficiency, since it allows the study in multi-contextual locations, facilitating the frequency and access to the content to the users. From the Human-Computer Interaction area and using User-Centered Design techniques, this research had as objective the investigation of the factors that contribute to the continuous construction of knowledge of the users of a mobile application of foreign language teaching. Three approaches guided the research: the first was a historical-evolutionary review of distance learning, to understand how pedagogical processes are converging to mobile technologies. The second was a brief analysis of the information architecture and the user experience to delimit the operation of the main language teaching applications of the Brazilian market, like Duolingo, and lastly Usability Tests and Diary Studies for collecting data that confronts the hypothesis. The research results indicate that Duolingo presents, in general, good usability properties. These properties reinforce that the hypothesis is valid when the motivating factors of the participants show the tenuous balance between daily routine, partial proficiency in the language studied and clear learning objectives.

[pt] CIDADES INTELIGENTES: DIAGNÓSTICO E PROPOSIÇÕES PARA CURITIBA, PARANÁ / [en] SMART CITIES: DIAGNOSIS AND PROPOSITIONS FOR CURITIBA, PARANÁ

[pt] O rápido processo de urbanização das cidades ao redor do mundo está causando diversas consequências em suas estruturas. As urbes não foram planejadas para suportar esse grande número de habitantes, logo causando dificuldades socioeconômicas para sua população, além de problemas de infraestrutura urbana. Essa grande concentração de mentes criativas vivendo nas áreas urbanas levou também a um novo fenômeno, a Revolução digital, que é caracterizada pelo avanço tecnológico, o qual possibilita a quase instantânea conexão entre as pessoas e os dispositivos. Desse modo, nasce a temática cidades inteligentes que busca solucionar os problemas das urbes atuais com o auxílio das ferramentas tecnológicas, que surgiram com a revolução digital. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar um diagnóstico sobre a inteligência do município de Curitiba, além de propor diretrizes gerais e projetos na área de mobilidade urbana para que a cidade se desenvolva e se torne mais smart. A metodologia utilizada dentro dessa dissertação foi: realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema cidades inteligentes; analisar detalhadamente a urbe de Curitiba; entender a inteligência de Curitiba a partir da população (entrevistas); e traçar novas diretrizes e projetos. O trabalho mostrou, como resultado, que a urbe de Curitiba está caminhando para se tornar uma smart city no futuro, graças a suas diversas inciativas que visam um desenvolvimento sustentável e uma ótima qualidade de vida para a população. Atualmente, o município ainda tem alguns pontos a melhorar, os quais devem ser repensados com novos projetos e estratégias conectadas às existentes. / [en] Cities play a key role in economic, social, and environmental spheres. It is noticeable that they are experiencing a rapid population increase due to industrialization and globalization (Mori and Christodoulou, 2012; Rocha, 2021). However, this population increase is causing several consequences in its urban and natural structures, such as lack of jobs, poor quality of the health system, increased urban violence, mobility problems, environmental pollution, etc. (Silva and Travassos, 2008). Along with this growth, it is observed that over the last decade technological advances have emerged and the internet has become a reality. Thus, starting the digitization of cities (Gonçalves, 2018). Therefore, in order to solve the problems of the cities reported above, seeking more sustainable answers, together with the evolution of technology and information, the theme called smart city emerged (Nadal, 2020). There are several literary definitions for the concept of a smart city, and an analysis of them was done throughout the work. Which, it can be observed that the two main types of intelligent towns addressed by theorists are: the one that deals with the life quality of the inhabitants and the resolution of current urban problems; and the one dealing with the use of ICT to manage the municipality. (Hollands, 2008). It is also possible to understand that the most current authors have characterized a smart urban area according to the life quality approach, which will be portrayed in this research. It is observed that a current smart city is not composed only of technology. It is just a tool for the full and sustainable development of the town, through the participation of society, and decision-making always together with the ultimate purpose of a municipal of excellence for its inhabitants.

[pt] A DIMENSÃO DA SEGREGAÇÃO DAS INFRAESTRUTURAS DE MOBILIDADE: O CASO DA AVENIDA BRASIL / [en] THE DIMENSION OF MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE SEGREGATION: THE CASE OF AVENIDA BRASIL

MATEUS SAMPAIO FREINKEL RODRIGUES 13 October 2020 (has links)
[pt] É senso comum na literatura sobre mobilidade urbana, a abordagem dos aspectos positivos das infraestruturas de mobilidade, pela possibilidade que elas têm de conectar os espaços urbanos. Afim de promover um debate crítico acerca desses elementos, a dissertação visa apontar a dimensão da segregação das Infraestruturas de mobilidade, explorando dois aspectos: 1. o da segregação socioespacial, numa escala de cidade e metrópole, abordando a dicotomia centro-periferia, e 2. da segregação da forma urbana, numa escala de bairro, seja pela presença de tecidos urbanos dispersos e fragmentados, como por novas e diferentes escalas dos conjuntos edificados no entorno de algumas infraestruturas de mobilidade. Para tal, a pesquisa ancora-se no objeto da Avenida Brasil, importante via expressa construída na década de 40, que cruza a cidade do Rio de Janeiro de uma ponta a outra, servindo como um dos eixos estruturantes na ocupação da zona oeste. Em sua extensão, encontram-se diversos modos de ocupações, relacionados a diferentes dimensões de segregação. Uma análise comparativa, baseada em três padrões de ocupações distintos de habitações de baixa renda e seu entorno tem, por fim, o objetivo de medir os impactos da segregação em determinados trechos. / [en] It is common sense in the urban mobility, literature to address the positive aspects of mobility infrastructures because of their ability to connect urban spaces. In order to promote a critical debate about these elements, the dissertation aims to point out the dimension of segregation on mobility infrastructures, exploring two aspects: that of socio-spatial segregation, on a city and metropolis scale, addressing the center-periphery dichotomy, and the segregation of the urban form, on a neighborhood scale, either by the presence of scattered and fragmented urban fabrics, as well as by new and different scales of buildings built around the mobility infrastructures. Then, the research is based on the object of Avenida Brasil, an important expressway built in the 1940s, which crosses the city of Rio de Janeiro from one end to the other, serving as one of the structuring axes in the occupation of the west zone. In its extension, there are several modes of occupations, related to different dimensions of segregation. A comparative analysis, based on three distinct occupational patterns of low-income housing and its surroundings, is ultimately intended of to measure the impacts of segregation on stretches.
