O objetivo do trabalho é analisar a interface rural-urbana, buscando definir um conceito que contemple as múltiplas faces e coexistências de rural e de urbano no território contemporâneo, a partir de diferentes perspectivas de agentes que atuam nesse território e nos processos de planejamento territorial. Como estudo de caso, foi escolhido um dos assentamentos da reforma agrária, denominado Assentamento Marapicu, no município de Nova Iguaçu, situado hoje na borda rural-urbana da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ). Esse Assentamento foi responsável por reverter a situação de retirada da área rural do plano diretor municipal. Os procedimentos metodológicos priorizaram abordagens interdisciplinar, sócio-espacial e interescalar, voltadas à reflexão teórica sobre a relação ruralurbana no território e aos desafios do planejamento territorial frente aos novos atores sociais do campo, sob o ponto de vista da área do Planejamento Urbano e Regional. A pesquisa de campo descreveu o território em diferentes escalas, destacando os padrões de ocupação e de planejamento territorial e aplicou entrevistas realizadas com agentes-chave (comunidade de assentados e os gestores públicos que trabalham com o planejamento territorial das escalas municipal e metropolitana). A partir de alguns elementos territoriais apontados nas entrevistas, foram criadas categorias de análise da interface rural-urbana e construídos cenários possíveis para a área do Assentamento, de caráter rural, urbano e rural-urbano. Os resultados apontaram a interface rural-urbana como um conceito possível para análise e aplicação no planejamento territorial no Brasil, possibilitando um exercício metodológico que contrapõe a ideia hegemônica de priorizar as questões urbanas como positivas e inevitáveis no território. / This work aims to analyze the rural-urban interface, seeking to define a concept that contemplates the multiple faces and coexistences of rural and urban in the contemporary territory, from different perspectives of agents that work in this territory and in the processes of territorial planning. As a case study, was chosen one of the rural settlements of the agrarian reform in the municipality of Nova Iguaçu, located today at the rural-urban border of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ). The “Marapicu Settlement” was responsible for reversing the situation of withdrawal from the rural area of the municipal master plan. The methodological procedures prioritized interdisciplinary, socio-spatial and interscalar approaches, focused on the theoretical reflection on the rural-urban relationship in the territory and on the challenges of territorial planning facing the new social actors of the rural area, from the point of view of the Urban and Regional Planning area. The field research described the territory at different scales, highlighting the patterns of occupation and territorial planning and applied interviews with key agents (community of settlers and the public managers who work with the territorial planning of the municipal and metropolitan scales). From some territorial elements pointed out in the interviews, categories of analysis of the rural-urban interface were created and possible scenarios for the settlement area, of rural, urban and rural-urban character were constructed. The results pointed to the rural-urban interface as a possible concept for analysis and application in territorial planning in Brazil, making possible a methodological exercise that contrasts the hegemonic idea of prioritizing urban issues as positive and inevitable in the territory.

The modern global agrifood system has had significant negative impacts on consumers and producers. This has precipitated the rise of local food systems that are purported to improve the health and livelihoods of consumers and producers. High expectations have led to significant public and private resources dedicated to the development of local food systems. Despite this, there has been little systematic research exploring the social and institutional conditions that facilitate or frustrate local food system development. Using a comparative case study approach, this study explored the ways local structural conditions, collective action, food system policies, and the political context affect the development of local food systems. Findings suggested truly robust local food system development requires either collective action or public policies and are more likely to exist and be successful depending on the political climate and the balance of power between land use interests in the community.

Contemporary debate on the future of urban areas is open and far from finding a convergence point among disciplines. As environmental concerns rise globally and connections between urbanity and ecology are being developed, urban-rural fringes are still an overlooked territory. The thesis proposes a shift in the focus as traditional frameworks have proven to be inadequate to track land-use changes in these hybrid spaces. Starting from selected key concepts, a compelling narrative on hybrid urban-rural fringes is proposed. The thesis benefited from the work done within the Interreg Alpine Space project “Los_Dama!”. This allowed to bridge the gap between research and practice and to directly investigate local planning tools in their adoption process to understand the approach to urban-rural fringes and investigate the role of agriculture. The comparison of the tools and direct fieldwork with local stakeholders supported the understanding of barriers in the implementation of hybrid performative landscapes.

The importance of developing the rural and urban areas in an integrated manner is a fact that can no longer be ignored by not only the proponents of the development planning approach, but by all the governments in the developing world. The long history of separate development has left scars on the planning system in South Africa, and this poses serious challenges to the new democratic state, particularly the local government sphere that has to ensure redress of the previous imbalances and inequalities. Through democratic local governance and active community participation in the development of rural and urban areas, some of the fruit of integrated development planning can be realised. The Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality case study shows that there is an interface between the rural and urban areas. The methodology employed enabled a more comprehensive analysis of the key areas where the rural and urban areas interface as well as the interventions that could foster the interaction between rural and urban areas. Although the development of rural and urban areas should be prioritised, developing the rural areas is perceived to be more urgent due to their history of underdevelopment during the apartheid era. Therefore development initiatives should be guided by the local context as well as the actual needs identified by communities. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)
