The Post-Occupancy Evaluation of the Physical Service Environment Rebuilding in Penghu County PoliceLu, Chao-cheng 23 August 2008 (has links)
Abstract
Police stations are located nationwide, deeply involved with people¡¦s daily life and can be seen everywhere. Whenever people encounter problems, they can easily access to the police stations where the police offer the most prompt services to help solve problems. The scope of police station services often involves urgent matters, and the police are expected to deliver services to the general public to alleviate their anxiety and to provide safety. Hence, the rebuilding of service environment should be appropriately planned to meet these ends. The rebuilding plan begins from external architecture, interior design, to layout should give warmth to people who will have no fear and will not be reluctant to access the police service.
To the aspect of improving internal customer-relations, the station should be designed as a comfortable working place to inspire the police officers to have a change of attitude and willingness to render better services for the people. Police administrators should update their knowledge and professionalism when working on a suitable precinct (police) station rebuilding plan. They should also take into consideration police duties, operations, and daily needs. Meanwhile, the public¡¦s needs for space, facility, business-conduct convenience and practicality, reasonable service facility update and upgrade, and warm and friendly environments should also be accommodated in order for them to contact the police and to place trust in them.
This research is based on the viewpoints of post-occupancy evaluation, (abbreviated as POE). Focus is placed on the present conditions of Penghu County Police Precinct/Stations after the service environment rebuilding was completed. The study subjects are police officers and the general public. Through analyses of data collected through questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews, the post-occupancy satisfaction level and recognition level are found. Moreover, the open-ended opinions are reviewed for the reference in the future construction and reconstruction of police stations.
The study findings show:
1.The satisfaction level of the general public towards police station service environment rebuilding: high satisfaction levels are achieved at the overall environment perceived satisfaction level, technical aspect satisfaction level, functional aspect satisfaction level, and behavior aspect satisfaction level. However, the satisfaction level for case filing through the Internet is the least satisfactory aspect for the public.
2.The satisfaction level of police officers toward police station service environment: the overall environment perceived satisfaction level, technical aspect satisfaction level, functional aspect satisfaction level, and behavior aspect satisfaction level have all achieved high satisfaction levels.
3.Differential comparison between the satisfaction level toward police station service environment rebuilding for the public and the police: in terms of the functional aspect of environment satisfaction level, it is found that the public and the low-rank police officers show significant differences in ¡§convenience of single window application processing.¡¨ In terms of the behavioral aspect of environment satisfaction level, it is found that the people and the low-rank police officers show significant differences in ¡§the recreational furniture laid out in the police station help bring the general public closer.¡¨
4.The awareness level of the public towards police station service environment rebuilding, on average, is 3.83: It shows that the general public regards the overall environment highly; thus, environment-rebuilding works in this item are supported.
5.The awareness level of police officers toward police station service environment rebuilding, on average, is 3.91: It shows that the police officers have a high recognition level for the overall rebuilding.
This study sums up the thorough analysis and conclusions, and proposes valuable policy recommendations for Penghu County Police Bureau in its efforts to promote service environment rebuilding, suggestions are also made for future research.

Skolans utformning, ett hinder för lärares eget lärande? : En studie av den fysiska arbetsmiljöns påverkan på lärares eget lärandeLönnerholm, Erica, Danielsson, Sara January 2015 (has links)
This essay is written about how the physical environment affects teachers’ own learning. The purpose is to see how the teachers’ work is affected by various factors, such as the uses and placement of the teachers’ offices, common room, or any other places where a meeting may occur. The survey was conducted using both interviews and observations of the teacher’s office. For the analysis of both the interviews and the observations we used Design for Learning by Rostvall and Selander (2008). The paper concludes that the physical environment influences learning in many ways. The design of the office and its distance from the common room had an impact on how teachers socialized with each other which is essential for learning to occur. Furthermore, there are other aspects that affect the teachers in how learning can take place in their office, such as how well the Internet works or the noise levels around it. The discussion in the paper is about the importance of teacher’s learning and further development, but also how this study can be applied to other professions. Keywords: Physical environment, learning, teacher, school building.

Förskolerummets pedagogiska dilemma : Pedagogernas syn på miljöns och materialets betydelse. / The preschool rooms educational dilemma : Preschool teachers views on the environment and thematerials importance.Andersson, Therese, Aspenbäck, Sandra January 2013 (has links)
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur pedagoger på förskolan tänker om miljön och materialets betydelse för barns utveckling och lärande. Vi har även tagit reda på hur innemiljön på avdelningarna är uppbyggda, om de är traditionella och ser ut som hemmet eller om de är inspirerande för barnen att experimentera och utforska i miljön. Vi har också tittat på hur materialet används och hur detta är placerat och vilken tillgång barnen har till det. Vi har utgått från det sociokulturella perspektivet i studien, vilket menar att det är pedagogen som organiserar miljön runt barnen och att barnen tar hjälp av sin omgivning för att lära och utvecklas. Vårt empiriska insamlande material har tagits fram via intervjuer och observationer. Pedagogerna som vi intervjuat var från olika avdelningar. Observationerna gjordes genom att gå runt och titta på miljön samt att fotografera det vi ville undersöka extra mycket. Resultatet visade att de flesta tänkte på miljöns betydelse. Det traditionella fanns på förskolorna men med försök till förändringar. Materialet skulle vara synligt för barnen förutom det ”smutsiga och kladdiga”. / The aim of the study was to examine how teachers at the preschool was thinking about the environment and the material's impact on children's development and learning. We also wanted to found out how the indoor environment of the departments is structured, whether they are traditional, they look like the home or if they are inspiring for children to experiment and explore the environment. We also looked at how the material is used and how it is placed and if the children have access to it. We have assumed the socio-cultural perspective in the study, which says that it is the teacher who organizes the environment around the kids and the kids are taking the help of their environment to learn and develop. Our empirical gathering of the materials were developed through interviews and observations. The teachers we interviewed were from different departments. The observations were made by walking around and looking at the environment and we also took photographs of what we wanted to examine extra. The result showed that most preschool teachers thought the environments significance. The traditional environment was found in the kindergarten but with attempts to change it. The material would be visible to the children besides the "dirty and messy."

Office work and physical factors : health aspects of electromagnetic fields and lightSandström, Monica January 1997 (has links)
The overall aim of this thesis is to increase our knowledge of the physical environment of office workers with special focus on electromagnetic fields and to address the question of whether electromagnetic fields can directly or indirectly contribute to symptoms or discomfort among video display terminal ( VDT) workers. Furthermore, we have measured light modulation from various commonly used light sources in laboratory conditions and, as a second step, used modulated light as stimulus for provocation of neurophysiological responses in persons with perceived “electrical hypersensitivity” (EHS).During the last 20 years work-related illness among office workers has received increased attention. Changes in the physical environment, the introduction of VDTs and other electrical equipment and changes in light conditions have been discussed in this context. The basis for this thesis is the interdisciplinary Office Illness Project in Northern Sweden. Using a questionnaire completed by 4,943 office workers, 150 VDT workers with or without facial skin symptoms were selected for a case referent study of the electromagnetic fields in offices.When the measurements in the offices were performed in 1989, the general level of the 50 Hz magnetic fields in the offices was rather low, but in 5% of the offices the flux density exceeded 0.5 pT. At this level VDT monitors were shown to display detectable instability (jitter). Furthermore, the ability of test subjects (healthy volunteers) to detect jitter was shown to depend on both the amplitude and frequency characteristics of this instability. The study indicates that the instability of computer monitors and thereby the instability of the visual image of the VDT screen might be an increasing problem since it is known that the harmonic content of the general magnetic field in offices is on the rise.VDT monitors contributed to the magnetic field level at VDT workplaces in both extremely low and very low frequency ranges. However, the dominant source of electric fields in rooms was ungrounded electrical equipment, not VDT screens.High electric fields in the extremely low frequency range in the offices were associated with skin symptoms among VDT workers. The causal nature of this association cannot be determined since it may depend on undetected factors related to exposure. No associations were found, however, for any of the VDT-related electromagnetic fields and skin symptoms.Commonly used fluorescent tubes in our office environment have a degree of modulation of the light (flicker) that varies widely from less than 1% (fluorescent tubes with high frequency gear) up to nearly 100%. When persons with perceived EHS were exposed to flickering light, a higher amplitude of brain cortex responses were found at all tested frequencies compared with control subjects. These findings are of considerable interest, but further studies are required in order to establish a possible relationship between flickering light and discomfort/symptoms in persons with perceived EHS. / digitalisering@umu

Sjuksköterskans uppfattning om den fysiska vårdmiljön inom psykiatrinTersmeden Elofsson, Camilla, Björnsdotter, Matilda January 2011 (has links)
Bakgrund: Den fysiska miljö vi befinner oss i påverkar oss alltid. Vårdmiljön kan påverka sjuksköterskorna och patienterna antingen positivt eller negativt beroende hur den är utformad. Den fysiska miljön kan även ha betydelse för de interaktioner som äger rum mellan sjuksköterskorna och patienterna. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskans uppfattning av den fysiska vårdmiljön inom psykiatrin. Metod: Kvalitativ ansats. Sex intervjuer med sjuksköterskor på tre olika avdelningar alla verksamma inom psykiatrin genomfördes för att belysa deras erfarenheter och uppfattningar om den fysiska vårdmiljön inom psykiatrin. Resultat: Materialet resulterade i sju teman. Dessa var uppfattning, förutsättningar, känslor, negativa faktorer, positiva faktorer, fysisk påverkan samt visioner. Resultatet visade att personalen är medveten om att det finns brister i den fysiska vårdmiljön, men att det saknas ekonomiska resurser för att kunna göra de förändringar som skulle behövas. Slutsats: Samtliga sjuksköterskor hade visioner om hur den fysiska vårdmiljön skulle kunna förbättras och förändras men på flera avdelningar kom sjuksköterskornas och patienternas säkerhet på avdelningen i första hand framför den fysiska vårdmiljön. En bättre fysisk vårdmiljö skulle sannolikt gynna både sjuksköterskornas och patienternas återhämtning. / Background: The physical environment that we are in always affects us. It can also affect the nurses and the patients in a positive or negative way depending on how it’s designed. The physical environment might also affect the interactions between the nurses and the patients. Purpose: To illuminate the nurses perceptions about the physical environment in psychiatric care. Design: Qualitative method. Six interviews with nurses working on different psychiatric wards were performed to illuminate their experiences and perceptions about the physical environment in psychiatric care. Results: Seven themes could be seen. These were perception, conditions, feelings, negative factors, positive factors, physical impact and visions. The result showed that the nurses are aware of the shortcomings of the physical care environment, but the economical resources are missing to make the changes that are needed. Conclusion: All the nurses had visions about how the physical environment could be changed and improved but the security of the nurses and the patients was a priority in several of the wards. An improved physical care environment would probably benefit both nurses and patients and promote a better health.

The study involved 104 mainstream school teachers working in the district and the city of Panevezys.
Questionnaire method was used to analyse teachers’ opinion on their experience in creation of conducive psychological and physical environment and the most important conditions in the inclusive classroom. Analysis of the data sought to find a relationship between the key conditions required for conducive psychological and the physical environment for teaching (learning) in the inclusive classroom and their implementation in the work practice.
The study found that the most important conditions necessary for creation of conducive psychological and physical environment for teaching (learning) are harmonious teacher-pupil relationships, rule formation and compliance, ensuring pupils’ cooperation, motivation-stimulating evaluation, flexible and suitable allocation of sitting places for the pupils, proper lighting in the classroom, selection of efficiency promoting wall shades and provision of pupils with special educational needs with compensatory measures. Most teachers try to build good relationships with pupils, encourage learners to work in groups and have clear rules and scoring system. However, concerning pupils with special educational needs, teachers’ attitude is negative, the pupils are not included in the training (learning) process... [to full text]

Darbo tikslas. Išanalizuoti Druskininkų mokyklų moksleivių fizinį aktyvumą ir subjektyvų sveikatos įvertinimą bei palyginti nustatytus rodiklius tarp kitų Lietuvos vietovių moksleivių.
Tyrimo metodika. Tyrimo populiacija – 5, 7, 9-11 klasių moksleiviai. Tyrimas vykdytas 2012 m. penkiose Druskininkų savivaldybės bendrojo ugdymo įstaigose. Moksleivių apklausai naudotos anoniminės anketos, sudarytos vadovaujantis tarptautiniu HBSC (angl. Health Behavior in School-aged Children) tyrimo protokolu. Apklausoje dalyvavo 630 mokinių: 310 (49,2 proc.) berniukų ir 320 (50,8 proc.) mergaičių (atsako dažnis 64,7 proc.). Darbe buvo analizuojami du pagrindiniai kintamieji: fizinis aktyvumas (fizinio aktyvumo dažnis ir bendras fizinis aktyvumas) ir sveikata (subjektyvus sveikatos vertinimas ir nusiskundimų sveikata dažnis). Statistinė duomenų analizė atlikta naudojant statistinį duomenų apdorojimo paketą „SPSS for Windows 17.0“.
Rezultatai. Druskininkų savivaldybės mokyklose aktyviai sportavo 55,2 proc. (95 proc. PI 49,6-60,6) berniukų ir 29,5 proc. (95 proc. PI 24,7-34,7) mergaičių (p<0,05). Prasta sveikata Druskininkuose skundėsi 10,6 proc. (95 proc. PI 7,7-14,5) visų ištirtų berniukų ir 18,4 proc. (95 proc. PI 14,6-23,0) mergaičių (p<0,01). Aktyviai sportuojantys Druskininkų moksleiviai reikšmingai dažniau teigė esą geros sveikatos lyginant su rečiau sportuojančiais bendraamžiais (GS=1,99; 95 proc.

Methods. The population of the study included students of the grades 5th, 7th, 9th-11th. The survey was carried out in five secondary schools in Druskininkai in 2012. The anonymous questionnaires for students were created according to the international HBSC survey protocol. There were 630 students who took part in the survey: 310 (49.2%) boys and 320 (50.8%) girls (response rate of 64.7%). There were two key variables analyzed in the present paper: PA (frequency of PA and general PA) and health (general self-rated health and frequency of subjective health complaints). Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical data processing package SPSS for Windows 17.0.
Results. Overall, 55.2% (95% CI 49.6-60.6) of boys and 29.5% (95% CI 24.7-34.7) of girls complied with the guideline of 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA daily (p<0,05) in Druskininkai region. Significantly less boys (10.6%; 95% CI 7.7-14.5) than girls (18.4%; 95% CI 14.6-23.0) rated their overall health as “not good” (p<0.01). Students undertaking moderate-to-vigorous PA reported good self-rated health significantly more often than their less active coevals (OR=1.99; 95% CI 1.22-3.23) (p<0.01). Correlations between general PA and health status were significant in the younger school-age... [to full text]

Understanding and promoting walking for transport in adultsAdams, Emma J. January 2018 (has links)
BACKGROUND. The benefits of physical activity for physical and mental health and well-being are well evidenced. Despite this, a substantial proportion of the adult population in England do not meet current recommended guidelines for physical activity leading to a significant burden on individuals, health services and the economy. Strategies are needed which lead to sustainable increases in physical activity at the population level. Walking is a free and accessible behaviour which is acceptable to most people and can be incorporated into everyday activities. Walking for transport is a type of walking which is undertaken specifically to travel from one point to another to reach a destination. Gaining an understanding of behavioural and contextual influences on walking for transport is important to facilitate specificity in designing effective interventions. Evaluating both the implementation and effectiveness of interventions to promote walking for transport in real-world settings may help to improve interventions and determine how they can be implemented at scale to impact population levels of physical activity. The research in this thesis aimed to contribute to the evidence base relating to understanding the factors influencing and the promotion of walking for transport in adults to address the problem of how to increase population levels of physical activity to improve health and well-being. Eight research articles are presented which used data collected as part of three research projects: Impact of Constructing Non-motorised Networks and Evaluating Changes in Travel (iConnect), Walking Works and Fitter for Walking. RESULTS. The Transport and Physical Activity Questionnaire (TPAQ) was developed and its measurement properties for assessing different domains of physical activity were tested. It was found to be suitable for use in comprehensively assessing transport and physical activity behaviour with comparable reliability and validity to other similar measures. A new 13-item scale was developed to assess adults perceptions of the environment in the neighbourhood (PENS) in the UK context. This was found to have comparable reliability to other similar scales. Using PENS and TPAQ, walking for transport was found to be positively associated with perceptions of supportive infrastructure, availability of local amenities, and general environment quality in the residential neighbourhood. Walking to and from work was found to be positively associated with the perceived presence of convenient walking routes, suitable pavements, maintained pavements or convenient public transport in the workplace neighbourhood. Walking to and from work was also positively associated with employees who were aged < 30 years, did not have a car, had no free car parking at work, were confident of including some walking or intended to walk to or from work on a regular basis, and had support from colleagues for walking. It was negatively associated with employees perceptions that they lived too far away from work to walk, walking was less convenient than using a car for commuting, they did not have time to walk, they needed a car for work, or they had always travelled the same way. In a community-based intervention to promote walking for transport, a wide variety of small-scale environmental changes were made which were led by local authorities (e.g. removal of encroaching vegetation, new/improved pedestrian signage, new dropped kerbs/kerb improvements, and new, repaired or improved footpaths) or by communities (e.g. planting bulbs, shrubs or bedding plants, clean-up days and litter pick-ups). Additional activities were undertaken to help increase awareness of the benefits of walking and promote the newly improved routes (e.g. led walks, themed walks, development of maps/resources and community events). After 12 months, there was a decrease in pedestrian route use overall and in four out of the five case studies where data collection took place. However, after 14-20 months there was an increase in pedestrian route use overall and in all case studies. Participants in the intervention perceived the main impacts to be improved physical and social environments. Implementing the intervention was found to be complex and required considerable resource and time. Processes required for implementation of the intervention were identified which included planning, preparation and delivery phases. Adaptability of the intervention to fit the local context was highlighted as being critical for successful programme delivery. In a whole-workplace walking to work intervention, no changes in walking behaviour were observed which may have resulted from barriers in using volunteer employee walking champions to deliver activities, the programme components not being delivered as originally intended, the types of activities which were delivered, and lack of awareness and participation by employees. CONCLUSIONS. A range of factors operating at different levels which influence walking for transport behaviour in adults were identified, confirming the need for specificity in studying both the behaviour and the contexts in which the behaviour is undertaken. Evidence is provided of the barriers and facilitators for implementing community-based and workplace interventions which aim to promote the behaviour. These should be addressed to maximise the effectiveness of interventions. Researchers, practitioners and policy-makers should take these research findings into consideration in the future design, planning and implementation of co-produced, multi-level interventions which aim to promote walking for transport. Future research should identify causal factors influencing walking for transport, improve intervention content and optimise intervention implementation. Researchers should address methodological limitations of work in this area, including the application of more rigorous study designs and the use of more reliable and valid measures of walking for transport and overall physical activity. Together this will maximise the potential impact of walking for transport interventions for promoting physical activity and improving health and well-being at the population level.

Previous issue date: 2017-12-07 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / A urbanização tem crescido consideravelmente nos países tropicais e em desenvolvimento; no Brasil, nas últimas sete décadas, a população passou a ser predominante urbana. A construção das cidades e a expansão das áreas urbanas tem alterado as dinâmicas dos sistemas naturais e provocado profundas alterações nas paisagens, com a criação de novas condições para os fluxos de matéria e energia no sistema relevo, suporte físico para o assentamento urbano. No âmbito da geomorfologia, a antropogeomorfologia considera o homem como um agente geomorfológico, capaz de alterar as formas e os processos geomorfológicos. Essa vertente de estudos tem contribuído com a análise ambiental dos meios urbanos e dos efeitos da ocupação das cidades sobre o relevo. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa busca relacionar as características físicas do relevo, a fragilidade do meio físico, a fragilidade ambiental (ROSS, 1990, 1994, 2001) e os padrões de urbanização, buscando colaborar com instrumentos de gestão e planejamento para áreas urbanas. Assim, tem como objetivo avaliar a fragilidade do meio físico e ambiental do setor oeste da cidade de Rio Claro (SP), a fim de identificar como determinadas características geomorfológicas suportam as transformações promovidas pelo uso urbano. Para alcançar o objetivo exposto, parte-se da análise sistêmica, a partir da Teoria Geral dos Sistemas aplicada a Geografia, e por um referencial metodológico e técnico aplicado aos estudos de ambientes antropizados por meio de níveis hierárquicos de fragilidade potencial e emergente, considerando o histórico evolutivo da área e os parâmetros físicos e ambientais, extraídos da análise de materiais cartográficos elaborados. A síntese das variáveis físicas do relevo na carta de fragilidade do meio físico, possibilitou uma análise articulada: dos parâmetros morfométricos, dos materiais inconsolidados e das feições erosivas, o que permitiu apontar as características geomorfológicas que suportam de maneira estável ou instável diferentes usos da terra, em áreas urbanas e rurais. A fragilidade ambiental é alterada de acordo com as características do uso da terra e o tipo de cobertura vegetal, sendo possível identificar como a urbanização acentua a fragilidade ambiental, enquanto outras formas de ocupação e cobertura vegetal atenuaram a fragilidade. O modelo cartográfico para identificar os padrões urbanos e os efeitos sobre fragilidade ambiental, permitiu setorizar o ambiente urbano a partir da diversidade da forma de ocupação do solo e a capacidade técnica das infraestruturas urbanas utilizadas por diferentes classes sociais. / The urbanization has risen considerably in developing tropical countries; in Brazil, in the last seven decades the population has passed to be mainly urban. The cities’ construction and the expansion of urban areas has altered the natural system dynamics and caused deep modifications on landscapes, with the creation of new conditions to the matter and energy flows in the relief system, physical support to the urban settlement. In the scope of geomorphology, anthropomorphology considers man as a geomorphological agent, capable of altering geomorphological forms and processes. This strand of studies has contributed to the environmental analysis of urban environments and the effects of the occupation of cities on relief. In this context, the present research seeks to relate the physical characteristics of the relief, the fragility of the physical environment, the environmental fragility (ROSS, 1990, 1994, 2001) and urbanization patterns, seeking to collaborate with management and planning instruments for urban areas. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the fragility of the physical and environmental environment of the western sector of the city of Rio Claro (São Paulo State), in order to identify how certain geomorphological characteristics support the transformations promoted by urban use. In order to achieve the above objective, it is based on the systemic analysis, based on the General Theory of Systems applied to Geography, and a methodological and technical reference applied to the studies of anthropized environments through hierarchical levels of potential and emerging fragility, considering the evolutionary history of the area and physical and environmental parameters, extracted from the analysis of elaborated cartographic materials. The synthesis of physical variables of relief in the letter of fragility of the physical environment, allowed an analysis articulated: the morphometric parameters, the unconsolidated materials and erosive features, which allowed pointing the geomorphological characteristics that support a stable or unstable different land uses, in urban and rural areas. The environmental fragility is amended in accordance with the characteristics of the land use and the type of plant cover, being possible to identify as urbanization accentuates the environmental fragility, while other forms of occupation and vegetation cover attenuated the fragilit. The cartographic model to identify the urban patterns and the effects on environmental fragility, allowed setorizar the urban environment from the diversity of form of occupation of the soil and the technical capacity of urban infrastructures used by different social classes.

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi realizar a caracterização geológica do município de Assis, com a finalidade de se produzir informações e cartografia pertinente, que pudessem orientar, entre outros, a administração municipal na tomada de decisões sociopolíticas e administrativas,no ordenamento territorial do município. Atividades de campo e laboratório resultaram na confecção de um mapa geológico do município em escala 1:50.000, com as seguintes unidades litológicas: Formação Serra Geral, Formação Adamantina, Aloformação Paranavaí - unidade 1; Aloformação Paranavaí - unidade 2, aluviões atuais e uma unidade constituída pela mistura, em proporção variada, de alteração do basalto mais o material arenoso da aloformação. Estas unidades foram caracterizadas com base em observações de campo, análises granulométricas, petrográficas em amostras e frações silte grosso e areia muito fina, difração de raios X na fração fina e química de elementos maiores e alguns menores. Os dados obtidos foram interpretados de forma integrada possibilitando interpretações genéticas e discussão relativas à ocupação espacial. / Abstract: For the rational occupation of an area or region, in order to minimize the environmental impact and make the best possible use of its natural resources, it is essential a sound knowledge of the physical environment. The purpose of this research was to carry out a geological characterization of the municipality of Assis, in order to produce relevant information and mapping, which may be useful, among others, for the municipal administration in decision-making policies for its territorial organization. Activities of field work and laboratory analysis resulted in the preparation of a geological map of the municipality, on scale 1:50.000, with the following lithological units: Serra Geral Formation; Adamantina Formation, Paranavaí Alloformation - Unit 1;Paranavaí Alloformation - Unit 2, present Alluvium and a unit constituted by varied proportion mixture of basalt alteration and sandier material. These units were characterized on the basis of field observations, granulometric and petrographic analyses of samples and thick fractions of silt and very fine sand, X-ray diffraction in the fine fraction and chemistry of elements both larger and smaller. The data were interpreted in an integrated manner making possible genetic interpretations and discussion on space occupation. / Doutor
