Studies related to the brain indicate that the built environment has the potential to interfere directly in the brain structure. Thus, neuroscience can contribute to the planning and analysis of constructed spaces with the purpose of offering suitable conditions for the well-being of the individual with this pathology. Regarding constructed spaces, the landscaping project acts as a relevant element in clinics that attend patients with Alzheimer's disease. The patient's relationship with nature is essential because being around green areas provides effects such as alignment of his circadian rhythm, increased vitamin D production, basic notions of time, air quality and sensory stimuli. Thus, the landscaping and architectural elements of green areas can serve as cognitive stimuli to the brain, reestablishing the contact of the human being with the surrounding environment. In this way, such stimuli have the capacity to promote a condition of well-being, providing comfort, security and helping in the healthy living of these individuals in the built space. From this, the research analyzes the design of green areas of two Alzheimer's care clinics, with the purpose of evaluating and recognizing the importance of such areas, as well as offering discussions and recommendations to the landscaping project of both clinics. For this, a bibliographical survey was carried out of authors that relate neuroscience and architecture, as well as field research, both essential to propose a series of recommendations with the purpose of suggesting guidelines and improvements for green areas of such clinics. This study demonstrates the relevance of a landscape design for spaces that shelter patients with diseases that affect the central nervous system, such as Alzheimer's. / Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar de que modo o projeto paisagístico em clínicas que atendem pacientes com a doença de Alzheimer pode contribuir para o tratamento não farmacológico da doença e auxiliar na qualidade de vida do paciente.

This project posits the need for a design approach to the use of urban sub-infrastructural spaces as public space. The potential held within these neglected parts of the city presents opportunities for the integration of architecture and landscape. The site beneath the infrastructure of the downtown Granville Bridge is one of the last remaining undeveloped parts of downtown False Creek. Surrounded by extreme residential density, the site is formed by the infrastructure creating a unique space unlike any other in the city. Artists involved in small scale industrial production such as textile, fashion, film, and furniture, rely on the city for survival. The design, prototype, production, display, consumption, and involvement of these activities within the public realm are important components to the identity and vigor of any metropolitan city. This project will explore, capture, and capitalize on the unique landscape qualities of partial enclosure provided by the bridge structure. This existing condition provides a spatial quality that is suggestive of opportunities for the integration of interior and exterior functions. With appropriate design intervention this place can become a unique public space while fulfilling the need for a production and entertainment space in downtown Vancouver / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate

The Meseta Purepecha, a volcanic plateau in the Mexican state of Michoacan, is home to one of the most species-rich pine forests in the world. Recent increases in demand for forest products has put added pressure on these resources. Though existing research has suggested significant deforestation in the Meseta, there is little information identifying specific areas of decline. This study focuses on two indigenous communities in the Meseta-Pichataro and Sevina. Both communities have long relied on wood as an economic resource. However, the two communities have reacted differently to increased demand for forest resources. The purpose of this study is to identify the differences in the rate and extent of forest change between Pichataro and Sevina. Three dates of Landsat satellite images - 1976, 1986, and 2000-were used to identify changes in the Meseta's forests. Supervised classification was used to classify the 2000 image into forested and non-forested areas. Change detection was performed on the 1976 through 2000 images to identify areas of forest clearing and forest regrowth. The 2000 image was then used as a reference for generating maps of historic forest extent based on the change detection results. Results show that between 1986 and 2000, Sevina cleared approximately 16% of its forested land between while Pichataro experienced a net gain of 7%. In the same period, 93% of the deforestation in the combined study area occurred within the community boundary of Sevina, which manages only 35% of the study area forests. Sevina's remaining forests are also more isolated and fragmented than the forests of Pichataro. The differences between the two communities appear related to management practices. Sevina has relied on larger-scale timber harvesting to derive economic benefits from its forests. Pichataro has focused on local harvesting and value-added production.

O trabalho investiga os projetos elaborados para a construção da estância hidromineral do Barreiro, em Araxá, Minas Gerais, compreendendo o plano urbanístico feito sob a orientação do engenheiro Lincoln Continentino, os diversos edifícios que constituem tal complexo, propostos pelo escritório de Luiz Signorelli e por Francisco Bolonha, e o parque concebido por Roberto Burle-Marx. Estabelece paralelos entre essa estância e outros planos semelhantes no Brasil e no exterior, buscando reconhecer seus modelos e referências; bem como observar a inserção do Barreiro como um dos vários balneários construídos no país entre 1920 e 1950, período de introdução e adaptação de idéias urbanísticas internacionais e de debate entre a arquitetura eclética e a moderna no Brasil. / The work investigates the projects elaborated for the construction of Barreiro hidromineral resort, in Araxá, Minas Gerais, compreending the urban plan, prepaired under engeneer Lincoln Continentino’s supervision, the buildings that constitute such ensemble, proposed by Luiz Signorelli’s office team and by Francisco Bolonha, and the park, conceived by Roberto Burle Marx. The text makes some comparisons between this complex and other similar plans in Brazil and in foreign countries, in order to recognize its models and references and to observe Barreiro’s role as one of the several watering-places built in Brazil between 1920 and 1950, a period of introduction and adaptation of international urbanistic ideas and of debate between ecletic and modern architecture in Brazil.

1. Os serviços de controle de pragas têm papel fundamental para a sustentabilidade da agricultura, porém ainda pouco se sabe sobre como a estrutura da paisagem, tanto em termos de composição (tipos de uso e cobertura das terras) quanto de configuração (proximidade a fragmentos florestais, grau de fragmentação, entre outros), regula a provisão destes serviços em paisagens fragmentadas. 2. Nesse estudo, testamos a capacidade de formigas promoverem o controle da broca-do-café (CBB), a principal praga do café em termos econômicos, e testamos ainda se a provisão desse serviço varia em função da estrutura da paisagem. Medimos o controle de CBB em plantações de café a pleno sol em dez paisagens do Sudeste do Brasil, que representavam um gradiente de cobertura florestal e de café. Utilizamos experimentos de exclusão de formigas, dispostos a diferentes distâncias dos fragmentos florestais, e comparamos o nível de controle de pragas dentro e fora dos experimentos. Testamos como o controle de CBB é afetado pelas interações da exclusão de formigas com parâmetros da estrutura da paisagem, incluindo a proximidade a fragmentos florestais, a cobertura florestal (em raios de 2 km e 300 m) e a cobertura de café (em raios de 300 m). Consideramos três indicadores de controle de pragas: presença de CBB, grau de infestação por CBB e o dano aos grãos de café por CBB. 3. Os resultados mostram que as formigas diminuem fortemente a presença de CBB e o dano aos grãos de café por CBB. Além disso, o controle de CBB ocorre, independentemente da sua proximidade aos fragmentos florestais, mas aumenta após 25 m, sugerindo que as formigas que prestam esse serviço estão adaptadas às condições ambientais das plantações de café a pleno sol. 4. A existência de pelo menos 35% de cobertura florestal, num entorno de 2 km, reduz a infestação de CBB e o dano aos grãos de café. Os resultados sugerem ainda que a expansão da cobertura de café aumenta a presença de CBB, mas diminui o dano aos grãos de café. 5. Síntese e aplicações. Esse estudo apresenta novas evidências que as formigas provêm controle de CBB e esse serviço é modulado pela estrutura da paisagem. Este estudo fornece assim dados importantes para planejar paisagens de cultivo de café que ao mesmo tempo permitam maior controle de CBB e conservação de habitats naturais / 1. Pest control services play a fundamental role in agriculture sustainability. However, little is known on how they are regulated by landscape composition (i.e. land-use and land cover change) and configuration (i.e. proximity to forest fragments and fragmentation intensity). 2. We measured whether landscape structure influences the ability of ants to control coffee berry borer (CBB), coffee\'s most economically influential pest, in sun coffee agroecosystems in Southeastern Brazil. We measured pest control among 10 landscapes that represented a gradual difference in forest and coffee cover. We manipulated ants through exclusion experiments (set at varied distances from forest fragments) and compared pest control inside and outside exclusion experiments. We tested whether CBB control is influenced by interactions of ant exclusions with landscape structure metrics, including distance to forest fragments, forest cover (2 km and 300 m-levels), and coffee cover (300 m-level). We considered three indicators of pest control: CBB presence, CBB infestation, and CBB bean damage. 3. Results show ants provide CBB control, strongly reducing CBB presence and bean damage. Also, CBB control is maintained regardless from its proximity to forest fragments, but increases after 25 m (hinting ants who provide this pest control service are adapted to habitat conditions in sun coffee farms). 4. Existence of at least 35% of forest cover in radii of 2 km reduces CBB infestation and bean damage. Results suggest further that expanding coffee cover increases CBB presence, but decreases bean damage. 5. Synthesis and application. This study presents new evidence of ants as efficient providers of CBB control in sun coffee agroecosystems and how this service is influenced by landscape structure. This study provides important data useful to adequately plan coffee landscapes with both enhanced CBB control as well as potential for conservation of natural habitats

Estudo sobre a presença de jardineiros e paisagistas franceses na América do Sul, entre 1820 e 1920, e as relações entre a cultura paisagística francesa e a nascente arte dos jardins no Brasil. A primeira parte estabelece um quadro referencial da atividade desses franceses na Argentina, Uruguai, Chile e Brasil, destacando as realizações de Édouard André, Eugène Courtois, Charles Thays, Joseph Bouvard, Pedro Margat, Charles e Louis-Ernest Racine, Édouard Gauthier, Georges Dubois, Grandjean de Montigny, Pierre Pézérat, Charles Pinel, Jean Binot, Auguste Glaziou, Júlio Joly, Ambrósio Perret, Paul Villon, Jules Vacherot e Cochet, entre outros. A segunda parte verifica as repercussões da presença e cultura francesas no deslanchar das primeiras gerações de paisagistas e horticultores brasileiros, concentrando-se na análise do trabalho de Frederico Guilherme de Albuquerque, entre 1874 e 1892. Esse segmento discute tanto o papel desse horticultor gaúcho como editor da Revista de horticultura, primeiro mensário brasileiro voltado às plantas ornamentais e jardins, quanto destaca sua atuação pioneira na introdução e difusão de plantas ornamentais. / A study on the presence of french gardeners and landscape designers in South America, from 1820 to 1920, and the relationship between french landscape culture and the nascent art of gardens in Brazil. The first part establishes a frame of reference for the activities of these frenchmen in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Brazil, featuring especially the work of Édouard André, Eugène Courtois, Charles Thays, Joseph Bouvard, Pedro Margat, Charles and Louis-Ernest Racine, Édouard Gauthier, Georges Dubois, Grandjean de Montigny, Pierre Pézérat, Charles Pinel, Jean Binot, Auguste Glaziou, Júlio Joly, Ambrósio Perret, Paul Villon, Jules Vacherot and Cochet, among others. The second part investigates the repercussions of the french presence and culture on the first generations of brazilian landscape designers and horticulturists, concentrating on an analysis of the work of Frederico Guilherme de Albuquerque, between 1874 and 1892. This section discusses both the role of this horticulturist from the state of Rio Grande do Sul as editor of the Revista de horticultura (Magazine of horticulture), the first brazilian monthly dedicated to ornamental plants and gardens, as well as his pioneering activities in the introduction and dissemination of ornamental plants.

O mercado imobiliário produz muitas áreas de lazer supondo atender as necessidades e desejos dos futuros usuários. Ao abordar esse universo, é possível perceber um descompasso entre o que os moradores sentem e desejam para seus espaços livres do cotidiano, e o que os agentes envolvidos projetam e implantam. Além da problemática supracitada, a apropriação das referidas áreas guarda relações com os espaços livres públicos, sendo necessária, portanto, sua contextualização na cidade. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar a utilização das áreas de lazer nos pavimentos térreos dos condomínios residenciais em São Paulo, com ênfase na região leste da cidade. Para tal, contribuíram as informações obtidas em pesquisas de avaliação de uso, a saber: questionários, grupos focais e entrevistas. A opinião dos moradores após a entrega e apropriação dos espaços coletivos nas áreas condominiais instigou a pesquisa em outras esferas de conhecimento. Nesse sentido, este trabalho investiga os conceitos da vida cotidiana e os demais agentes do complexo mecanismo de construção da cidade. Espera-se poder instigar e promover uma visão crítica sobre a realidade dos espaços projetados, entendendo ser este trabalho uma contribuição inicial para tão complexo assunto. Em última análise, esta dissertação espera contribuir para que pesquisadores e profissionais, entendendo melhor esse universo, projetem para o morador espaços que agreguem valor ao seu dia a dia. / The real estate market produces many recreational areas assuming they match the needs and wishes of future users. In addressing this universe, it is possible to perceive a gap between what residents feel and want for their open spaces of everyday life, and what involved agents design and set up. Besides the problems mentioned above, the settlement of these areas keep relations with public open spaces, and it is therefore necessary to contextualize it in the city. This dissertation aims to analyze the use of recreational areas in the ground floor of residential condominiums in São Paulo, with emphasis in the city east region. To this end there has been the contribution of information gathered in inquiries on use evaluation, such as quests, focus groups and interviews. The opinion of residents after the delivery and settlement of community areas in condominiums prompted research into other spheres of knowledge. Thus, this study investigates the concepts of everyday life and the other contributors in the complex process of building the city. It is expected to instigate and to promote a critical view about the reality of designed spaces, understanding this work as an initial contribution to such a complex subject. Ultimately, this dissertation hopes to contribute to researchers and professionals, who, with a better understanding of this universe, design spaces for residents that afford value to their everyday life

Social, political, economic, and environmental factors converge in developing countries to stimulate high rates of deforestation. Forest conversion reduces biodiversity, contributes to carbon loading of the atmosphere, alters the global water balance, and degrades the quality of life for rural people. Mexico is the fifth most biologically diverse country in the world and temperate and tropical forests in Mexico are rapidly disappearing with environmental and cultural repercussions for people and ecosystems. This study examines changes in the forest landscape surrounding two communidades indigenas in Michoacan, Mexico over a 15-year period. The research area includes communal forest, pasture, and agricultural land within the adjacent municipal boundaries of two Purepecha Indian communities: Sevina and San Francisco Pichataro. The economies of both villages depend in part on wood products manufacturing with timber harvested in local mixed-pine forests. As a result, forest landscapes surrounding the towns are at risk for potentially rapid land cover change and environmental degradation.
