No. of bitstreams: 1 2017 - Leandro Ferreira da Silva.pdf: 6749285 bytes, checksum: d92cb1b0240e706e2a58105923cd98d9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-08-03 / Based on the enrollment data of the School Census, this research aims to characterize the implementation of Public Policies of Special Education in the scope of Inclusive Education, regarding the conditions of schooling of students targeted by Special Education who live in settlement projects of agrarian reform located in the region of Concei??o do Araguaia / PA. We find in the legal provisions the relation of Special Education in the Field Education that favor this interface and allow us to dialogue with these two modalities. In a context of the Paraense Amazon, Special Education in the Field has a great relevance, mainly for being in a region of agrarian profile, the municipality of Concei??o do Araguaia located in the south of Par?, it is one of the cities that have the largest number of settlements of agrarian reform in Brazil. There are 37 (thirty-seven) agrarian reform settlement projects, with 4,270 (four thousand, two hundred and seventy) settled families. As far as Field Education is concerned, about 38% of the total number of students enrolled in the municipal network are included in the Campo schools. There are eight (8) Campo schools linked to the Municipal Education System. In the year 2016, 71 (seventy-one) students were registered as Special Education target in the School Census in the municipality of the study. Although official data point to the existence of this population, the scientific production that addresses this relationship is scarce, resulting in a historical silence between these two modalities. The microdata of the School Census help us to analyze official indicators of Basic Education about the enrollments of the special education target students who study in the urban and rural regions of Concei??o do Araguaia-PA. With the use of SPSS (Statistics Syntax Editor) software, we extract statistical-educational data that are published by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research An?sio Teixeira (INEP). The results of this study, which was carried out at a Public School Elementary School located in the largest settlement area of the municipality of Concei??o do Araguaia-PA, had as subjects: one (1) member of the management team of the study's locus school, One (1) teacher working in the Specialized Educational Service (AEE) and one (1) teacher from each area of knowledge, as follows: Codes and Languages; Human and Social Sciences; Exact Sciences and Nature; Necessarily acting in classes in which students, target audience of Special Education are included. On the theoreticalmethodological basis, it is structured based on the Critical Theory of Society. In this sense we refer to Theodor Adorno's thought, which is the very method of research, that is, the data collected from the official indicators were analyzed and discussed considering the philosopher's thinking. Our results pointed out that Special Education in settlements in the municipality of Concei??o do Araguaia-PA is carried out in precarious conditions and therefore there is an invisibility of this public, considering that none of the rural schools offers specialized educational services for the target audience of Special Education. It is hoped that this study may foster the debate on the construction of Public Policies that consider the right of people with disabilities, and therefore subsidize proposals for the production of knowledge of the southern region of the Amazon Paraense on the reality of the living conditions of students with disabilities. Disabilities who live and study in the field. / Tendo como base os dados de matr?cula do Censo Escolar, esta pesquisa objetiva caracterizar a implementa??o de Pol?ticas p?blicas de Educa??o Especial no ?mbito da Educa??o Inclusiva, no que se refere ?s condi??es de escolariza??o de estudantes p?blico-alvo da Educa??o Especial que vivem em projetos de assentamentos da reforma agr?ria localizados na regi?o de Concei??o do Araguaia/PA. Encontramos nos dispositivos legais a rela??o da Educa??o Especial na Educa??o do Campo que favorecem essa interface e nos permitem dialogar com essas duas modalidades. Em um contexto da Amaz?nia Paraense, a Educa??o Especial no campo tem uma grande relev?ncia, principalmente por estar em uma regi?o de perfil agr?rio, o munic?pio de Concei??o do Araguaia localizado no sul do Par?, figura uma das cidades que possuem o maior n?mero de assentamentos da reforma agr?ria no Brasil. S?o 37 (trinta e sete) projetos de assentamentos da reforma agr?ria, com 4.270 (quatro mil, duzentas e setenta) fam?lias assentadas. No que se refere a Educa??o do Campo, cerca de 38% do total de estudantes matriculados na rede municipal est?o inseridos nas escolas do Campo. S?o 08 (oito) escolas do Campo vinculados ao Sistema Municipal de Ensino. No ano 2016, foram cadastrados 71 (setenta e um) estudantes p?blico-alvo da Educa??o Especial no Censo Escolar no munic?pio l?cus do estudo. Apesar dos dados oficiais apontarem a exist?ncia desta popula??o, ? escassa a produ??o cientifica que aborda essa rela??o, resultando num sil?ncio hist?rico entre essas duas modalidades. Os microdados do Censo Escolar nos ajudam analisar indicadores oficiais da Educa??o B?sica acerca das matr?culas dos estudantes p?blico-alvo da Educa??o Especial que estudam nas regi?es urbanas e rurais de Concei??o do Araguaia-PA. Com a utiliza??o do software SPSS (Statistics Syntax Editor), extra?mos os dados estat?sticoseducacionais que s?o divulgados pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais An?sio Teixeira ? INEP. Os resultados deste estudo, que foi realizado em uma Escola de Ensino Fundamental da rede p?blica inserida na maior ?rea de assentamento do munic?pio de Concei??o do Araguaia-PA, teve como sujeitos: um (1) membro da equipe gestora da escola l?cus do estudo, um (1) professor atuante no Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE) e um (1) professor de cada ?rea do conhecimento, a seguir: C?digos e Linguagens; Ci?ncias Humanas e Sociais; Ci?ncias Exatas e da Natureza; necessariamente atuantes em turmas em que estudantes, p?blico-alvo da Educa??o Especial estejam inclu?dos. Sobre a fundamenta??o te?rico-metodol?gico, a mesma se estrutura com base na Teoria Cr?tica da Sociedade. Nesse sentido recorremos ao pensamento de Theodor Adorno, que se constitui no pr?prio m?todo da pesquisa, ou seja, os dados levantados dos indicadores oficias foram analisados e discutidos considerando o pensamento do fil?sofo citado. Nossos resultados apontaram que a Educa??o Especial em assentamentos do munic?pio de Concei??o do Araguaia-PA se realiza em condi??es prec?rias e, por conseguinte h? uma invisibilidade deste p?blico, considerando que nenhuma das escolas do campo at? 2016 oferecia o Atendimento Educacional Especializado para o p?blico alvo da Educa??o Especial. Espera-se que este estudo possa fomentar o debate da constru??o de Pol?ticas p?blicas que considerem o direito das pessoas com defici?ncia, e subsidiem propostas para a produ??o do conhecimento da regi?o sul da Amaz?nia Paraense sobre a realidade das condi??es de vida dos estudantes com defici?ncia que vivem e estudam no campo.

The growing concern for the shortage of primary care physicians (PCPs) prompted a government legislation to designate areas where shortage in the delivery of primary care services occurs. The implemented systems (e.g., HPSA, MUA, and MUP) analyze utilization of health services within confined administrative units and fail to account for spatial interactions that occur across administrative borders. This research examines the spatial accessibility to PCPs and the underlying demographic and socioeconomic settings. With the Nashville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) as a study area, this study utilized data from the U.S. Census 2000 and 2010, as well as the known locations of (PCPs) collected in 2010. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provided the tools by which the processing and analysis of the data was carried out. Specifically, network analysis was applied to estimate travel time and service area coverage. A Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) method was implemented to measure spatial accessibility to PCPs. This method was applied to measure accessibility at the level (census block) that most accurately represents the spatial population of the Nashville MSA. In addition, this research implemented several distance-decay functions in addition to the dichotomous function of the standard 2SFCA method. This research has found that the majority of the population residing in the Nashville MSA enjoyed good spatial accessibility to PCPs. However, the highest percentages of those resided in areas of low accessibility were located in periphery rural areas as well as isolated areas poorly connected to the roadway network due to certain physical barriers such as lakes and streams. Moreover, this research has found that, in general, non-spatial factors intensified the most where there was good accessibility to PCPs.

Census operations are very important events in the history of a nation. These operations cover every bit of land and property of the country and its citizens. Census data is also known as demographic data providing valuable information to various users, particularly planners to know the trends in the key areas. Since 2006, Turkey aims to produce this census data not as &ldquo / de-facto&rdquo / (static) but as &ldquo / de-jure&rdquo / (real-time) by the new Address Based Register Information System (ABPRS). Besides, by this new register based census, personal information is matched with their address information and censuses gained a spatial dimension. Data obtained from this kind of a system can be a great input for the creation of &ldquo / small statistical areas (SSAs)&rdquo / which can compose of street blocks or any other small geographical unit to which social data can be referenced and to establish a complete census geography for Turkey. Because, statistics on large administrative units are only necessary for policy design only at an extremely abstracted level of analysis which is far from &quot / real&quot / problems as experienced by individuals. In this thesis, it is aimed to employ some spatial clustering and districting methodologies to automatically produce SSAs which are basically built upon the ABPRS data that is geo-referenced with the aid of geographical information systems (GIS) and thus help improving the census geography concept which is limited with only higher level administrative boundaries in Turkey. In order to have a clear idea of what strategy to choose for its realization, small area identification criteria and methodologies are searched by looking into the United Nations&rsquo / recommendations and by taking some national and international applications into consideration. In addition, spatial clustering methods are examined for obtaining SSAs which fulfills these criteria in an automated fashion. Simulated annealing on k-means clustering, only k-means clustering and simulated annealing on k-means clustering of Self-Organizing Map (SOM) unified distances are deemed as suitable methods. Then these methods are implemented on parcel and block datasets having either raw data or socio-economic status (SES) indices in nine neighborhoods of Ke&ccedil / i&ouml / ren whose graphical and non-graphical raw data are manipulated, geo-referenced and combined in common basemaps. Consequently, simulated annealing refinement on k-means clustering of SOM u-distances is selected as the optimum method for constructing SSAs for all datasets after making a comparative quality assessment study which allows us to see how much each method obeyed the basic criteria of small area identification while creating SSA layers.

L’étalement urbain constitue un enjeu de société qui préoccupe tous les acteurs de l’aménagement du territoire. Le développement de superficies urbanisées à la périphérie des villes à des fins résidentielle, industrielle, commerciale et d’infrastructures se caractérise par une faible densité des structures bâties et par une perte de terres agricoles. Les conséquences sont importantes notamment parce que ces pertes sont irréversibles. Ce projet de recherche analyse les tendances actuelles de l’étalement urbain dans la RMR de Montréal et au-delà de celle-ci ainsi que ses impacts sur les territoires agricoles. Il comporte trois objectifs secondaires. Le premier objectif vise à analyser l’importance de la multifonctionnalité de l’agriculture et sa prise en compte dans les stratégies d’aménagement et de revitalisation agricole dans les MRC. Le deuxième objectif vise à établir les liens entre ces stratégies et les pressions urbaines dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal. Les pressions urbaines des 88 municipalités sont analysées en fonction de l’augmentation de la population et des ménages, par le nombre de mises en chantier ainsi que par les demandes de modification de la zone agricole déposées par les municipalités auprès de la CPTAQ entre 2000 et 2009. Le dernier objectif vise à identifier les MRC qui ont développé ces stratégies dans leur schéma d’aménagement et de développement (SAD), pour ensuite comparer les intentions et les actions des MRC par rapport à l’étalement urbain qui se développe concrètement sur leur territoire depuis l’an 2000. Pour ce faire, deux critères ont été retenus : une typologie des stratégies d’aménagement et de revitalisation agricole des SAD et les positions adoptées par les acteurs impliqués dans les demandes de modification. En conclusion, les cinq MRC analysées en détail ont demandé entre 2,1 % et 2,6 % de leur propre zone agricole au cours des dix dernières années, peu importe l’élaboration de leur SAD et les pressions urbaines qu’elles subissent. / Urban sprawl represents a challenge to society of concern for all the players in regional land use planning. The development of urbanised areas on the edges of cities for residential, industrial, commercial and infrastructure purposes is characterised by low density development and a loss of farmland. The consequences are important because these losses are irreversible. This research project analyses current trends of urban sprawl in the Montreal Census Metropolitan Region and the surrounding area as well as its impacts on agricultural areas. There are three secondary objectives. The first one is to analyse the importance of the multi-functionality of agriculture and how it has been taken into account in the strategies for agricultural planning and revitalisation in the Regional Municipal Counties (RMC). The second one aims to establish the linkages between these strategies and the urban pressures in the Montreal metropolitan region. Urban pressures are analysed in the context of 88 municipalities as a function of the increases in population and households and the number of construction projects initiated as well as the requests for modification of their agricultural zones submitted by the municipalities to Quebec’s Agricultural Land Protection Commission between 2000 and 2009. The final objective aims to identify those RMC which have developed strategies in their regional land use development plan for their agricultural zone, in order then to compare the intentions and actions of the RMC with the urban sprawl which has actually taken place in their territory since 2000. To accomplish this, two criteria were used: a typology of the planning and revitalisation strategies for the agricultural zones and the positions adopted by the players involved in formulating the requests for modification. By way of conclusion, the 5 RMC analysed in detail requested the withdrawal of between 2.1 % and 2.6 % of their own agricultural zone during the last 10 years, regardless of their own agricultural development plan and the actual urban pressures they had experienced.

Les immigrants allophones qui s’établissent dans la région métropolitaine de recensement (RMR) de Montréal sont vraisemblablement confrontés à la concurrence qui y existe entre le français et l’anglais. À l’aide de données agrégées du recensement canadien de 2006, nous explorons le rôle que pourrait jouer l’environnement linguistique résidentiel dans l’adoption de deux comportements linguistiques; le transfert linguistique vers le français ou l’anglais et la connaissance des langues officielles chez ceux n’ayant pas effectué de transfert, tout en tenant compte de leurs caractéristiques individuelles. Des liens initiaux existent entre la composition linguistique des 56 quartiers de la RMR et les comportements linguistiques des immigrants allophones. De plus, des caractéristiques individuelles similaires mènent à des orientations linguistiques similaires. Sans séparer ces deux effets, des régressions linéaires nous permettent de croire que la connaissance de l’anglais et/ou du français n’est pas déterminée par la composition linguistique du quartier, alors que cette dernière ne peut être écartée lorsque nous analysons la langue d’usage à la maison (transferts). / Immigrants with a mother tongue other than French or English are likely to face the existing concurrence between these two languages when settling down in the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). Using agregated data from the 2006 Canadian Census, the potential role of residential linguistic environment on two measures of immigrants` language behavior is explored : language shift at home (from a third language to the use of French or English) and French or English proficiency (of those who did not shift), along with the consideration of their individual caracteristics. Initial links are observed between language composition of the 56 neighborhoods of the CMA and language behavior of the immigrants. Moreover, similar individual caracteristics seem to lead to similar language behaviors. Linear regressions cannot distinguish both effects, but tend to show that language proficiency in French and/or English is not determined by neighborhood caracteristics. However, evidence suggests that the potential significant role of the language composition of the neighborhood on the language shift at home cannot be overlooked.

À l’été 2010, le gouvernement canadien a annoncé le remplacement du formulaire long obligatoire par l’Enquête nationale auprès des ménages, un questionnaire facultatif. Ce changement a causé beaucoup de réactions, parce que cela affectera la qualité et la continuité des données recueillies, qui servent à appliquer différents programmes et lois, et qui sont utilisées par de nombreux groupes dans leurs fonctions de recherche et de représentation. Le présent mémoire a pour objectif de comprendre pourquoi le recensement devient parfois le centre d’un conflit politique, quels acteurs sont impliqués, et pour quelles raisons. À l’aide d’une analyse comparative de cas antérieurs dans différents pays, nous identifions trois éléments nécessaires pour que la méthodologie du recensement devienne un enjeu politique. Il s’agit de la présence: (1) d’un aspect identitaire; (2) d’une dimension idéologique qui concerne particulièrement le rôle de l’État et l’action positive; et (3) de programmes ou d’objectifs gouvernementaux qui dépendent directement des données du recensement. Pour évaluer si ces trois facteurs sont également présents au Canada en 2010, nous avons effectué des entrevues avec les groupes qui ont contesté la décision de l’annulation du formulaire long obligatoire. Ces groupes ont contesté la décision devant les tribunaux, et ont évoqué les risques de non-respect du gouvernement envers ses obligations légales, notamment envers la Charte des droits et libertés. L’analyse de ce conflit nous permet aussi d’évaluer les relations entre le gouvernement canadien et la société civile, et le manque de ressources et d’opportunités auquel font face les groupes d’intérêt et les représentants de minorités à la recherche d’équité. / In 2010, the Canadian government announced the cancelation of the long-form mandatory census of 2011. It was replaced by the non-mandatory National Household Survey. Many protests were heard, because the data will be less accurate and there will be no continuity with the previous censuses. This data has many purposes, like the application of laws or governmental programs. Different groups also use it in research and advocacy activities. This master’s thesis analyses different situations of controversy over the census methodology, in various countries, to understand how it becomes a political conflict, who are the actors that get involved and why they do so. We find that 3 conditions are necessary to turn a census into a political battlefield. It is : (1) an identity concern; (2) an ideological dimension, about the role of the State and of affirmative action; and (3) the presence of laws or programs that depend directly on the census data. To test this affirmation, we interviewed groups that contested the decision of the cancelation of the mandatory long-form census in Canada in 2010. They took the case in front of the Courts, and think that the government has now the opportunity to escape from some of its obligations, one of which is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This controversy’s analysis shows patterns in the relations between the Canadian government and the civil society. Interest groups and minorities now face very little opportunity of doing advocacy activities before the federal government.

This thesis examines the lives of the deaf in late nineteenth century Ontario through a statistical analysis of a dataset from the 1891 Canadian Census. I examine the characteristics of the deaf as compared to the hearing population of Ontario in terms of age, sex, marital status, occupation and geographical distribution. Though there are many statistical differences between the deaf and hearing populations, I am able to show how the availability of a formal education for the deaf in the form of the Ontario Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in Belleville, Ont, had begun to minimize the effects of these differences. Education also allowed for the creation of a socially active Ontario deaf community, held together by the Ontario Deaf-Mute Association and the Ontario Mission for the Deaf.
