Esse município compõe uma região de outras tantas cidadezinhas que, res-guardadas as peculiaridades individuais, possuem uma dinâmica similar em que cidade e campo se inter-relacionam através da prática socioespacial dos sujeitos locais. Optou-se por pensar essas relações e as manifestações das urbanidades e ruralidades mediante os usos do espaço matipoense pelos trabalhadores rurais, estudantes, cidadãos usuários das instâncias de saúde, dentre outros, e das formas como vai se delineando a produção espaci-al a partir da escolha de algumas dimensões importantes: a cafeicultura e o trabalho exerci-do nessa atividade, o setor de saúde, a educação básica e o ensino médio e superior. Abor-da-se também a dinâmica do solo e a expansão de novos loteamentos na cidade e um re-cente fomento à construção de chácaras e sítios de passeio no campo. Os resultados obtidos permitiram compreender que essas dimensões se articulam e se movimentam em ambos os sentidos, cidade-campo e campo-cidade demonstrando a complementaridade urbano-rural existente nessa escala. / The reflections developed in this research focuses in the production process in small town spaces, thinking mainly in the interactions between urban and rural in Matipó – MG. This town composes a region with a lot of other small towns that, except the individual peculiar-ities, have a similar dynamic in that town and countryside are interrelated through socio-spatial practices of local subjects. We chose thinking about these relationships and the ur-banities and ruralities manifestations by the uses of matipoense space by rural workers, students, users of health instances among others, and the ways as the spatial production will taking shape from the choice of some important dimensions: the coffee farming and the work done in this activity, the health sector, the basic education, high school and col-lege. We also discuss the soil dynamic and the expansion of new allotments in the town and a recent incentive to build small farms and country houses to field trips. The results allowed us to understand that this dimensions are linked and they move in both directions, town-countryside and countryside-town showing the complementary urban-rural in that range.

The present dissertation is an analysis in its spatial and temporal scales and the roles of urban land use in the small town of São Sepé in which dynamic is related to the agricultural sector in which the city is part. Therefore, there are many roles in the economic sector, specifically associated to the cooperative named COTRISEL. The reality of this town is expressed by economic flows from the business generated by the cooperative in the region. In this context, this town of Portuguese colonization, the concession the Sesmarias (large land properties), for many centuries it was dominated by elites, owners of land, defending their interests. The economy of São Sepé focuses on the agricultural sector, with trading and services depending on this sector. It is also the agribusiness benefit from the primary production, adding that production value. It was also analyzed, the capital, the urban equipment and infrastructure in order to verify how this type of economy was able to generate jobs, equipment or even urban infrastructure to conduct activities. / O presente estudo analisa em suas escalas espaciais e temporais os papéis e o uso do solo urbano da pequena cidade de São Sepé cujas dinâmicas atrelam-se ao setor agropecuário no qual a cidade está envolvida. Para isso destacam-se os papéis econômicos desse setor, ligado especificamente a cooperativa COTRISEL. A realidade dessa cidade se expressa pelos fluxos econômicos provenientes dos negócios gerados pela cooperativa na região. Nesse contexto, a cidade fruto da colonização portuguesa, da concessão de sesmarias, foi dominada durante muitos séculos pelas elites, donas de terras, defendendo seus interesses. A economia de São Sepé está centrada no setor agrícola, com o comércio e serviços dependendo deste setor. Destaca-se ainda o agronegócio beneficiando parte da produção primária, agregando valor aquela produção. Ainda foram analisados, o capital social, os equipamentos urbanos e a infra-estrutura como forma de averiguar o quanto aquele tipo de economia foi capaz de gerar empregos, equipamentos ou mesmo infra-estrutura urbana para a realização de suas atividades.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Small towns play important urban roles for local and regional development; the few urban facilities are enough to meet population dynamics. From this perspective, the research analyzes the (re) structuring of urban Nova Palma, as well as new urban roles connected to the CAMNPAL. It is through this cooperative that City is improved and new urban forms and functions will initiate urban expansion promoting the local / regional development, connecting the town urban to a global trade network. The city, which arises due to the need for agriculture and agricultural trade, has today as the main urban role: the marketing and processing of agricultural products in the Region of the Fourth Colony of Italian Immigration, and as a result of this role, new activities and services will make up the urban landscape of New Palma. The continued expansion of the city depends on government policies, actions of local stakeholders and society regarding local potentialities. / As pequenas cidades apresentam papéis urbanos importantes para o desenvolvimento local e regional, os poucos equipamentos urbanos são suficientes para atender a dinâmica da população. Nessa perspectiva, a pesquisa analisa a (re) estruturação urbana de Nova Palma, bem como os novos papéis urbanos ligados a CAMNPAL. É através desta cooperativa que a cidade se vê impulsionada e novas formas e funções urbanas vão desencadear uma expansão urbana promovendo o desenvolvimento local/regional, conectando o urbano novapalmense a uma rede comercial global. A cidade que surge em função da agricultura e da necessidade de comércio agrícola, tem nos dias de hoje, o principal papel urbano: a comercialização e beneficiamento dos produtos agrícolas da Região da Quarta Colônia de Imigração Italiana, e em decorrência deste papel, novas atividades e serviços passam a compor o cenário urbano de Nova Palma. A expansão contínua da cidade dependerá das políticas públicas, das ações dos atores locais e da sociedade em relação das potencialidades locais.

Cette thèse vise l’étude des processus d’émergence, de structuration et de mutation d’un réseau urbain antique depuis la fin de la Protohistoire jusqu’au Moyen Âge dans une micro-région située aux confins des territoires antiques éduens, lingons et séquanes, le Val de Saône. Celle-ci se caractérise par une armature dense d’agglomérations gallo-romaines possédant une somme et une qualité de données inégalée en Gaule, fruit de recherches anciennes et récentes. Alors que ces agglomérations ont été parmi les premières étudiées au cours des années 1980, leur exploitation s’est limitée à l’étude des hiérarchies et des fonctions urbaines durant le Haut-Empire, délaissant la chronologie et l’évolution du système urbain.Le corpus de sites a fait l’objet d’une démarche d’homogénéisation et de cartographie des données grâce à des outils spécialement développés. Pour répondre aux questions d’organisation spatiale et de chronologie, de nouvelles acquisitions d’informations ont été réalisées. Ces données, rassemblées dans des notices et synthétisées à travers une série de descripteurs, permettent de réfléchir sur une meilleure définition de la caractérisation des agglomérations et sur l’étude de leur parcours chronologique.C’est à partir de la typo-chronologie des agglomérations que les dynamiques spatiales, morphologiques et temporelles sont mises en évidence à l’échelle du Val de Saône, puis comparées avec les données du Centre-Est de la Gaule. L’analyse in-terne des agglomérations permet d’appréhender la place et le rôle des composantes principales des occupations comme les parures monumentales, les types d’habitat ou l’artisanat. L’enquête montre l’importance et la variété des agglomérations dans le système de peuplement du Val de Saône depuis la fin de la période laténienne. L’organisation des ré-seaux antiques, issue d’un héritage protohistorique très marqué, et les dynamiques urbaines indiquent des récurrences et des spécificités à chacune des cités.Cette thèse constitue ainsi une synthèse inédite sur l’émergence, le développement et le devenir de ce réseau urbain remarquable, dont la structure est encore nettement discernable aujourd’hui. / The aim of this thesis is to study the processes of emergence, structuring and mutation of an ancient urban network from the end of the Protohistory to the beginning of the Middle Ages in a micro-region located on the edge of the ancient éduens, lingons and séquanes territories, the Saône Valley. This area is characterized by a density of Gallo-Roman small towns with an amount and a high quality of data unequalled in Gaul, as a result of ancient and recent research. While these small towns were among the first studied in the 1980’s, their exploitation was limited to the study of hierarchies and urban functions during the High Empire, neglecting the chronology and the evolution of the urban system.The site corpus has been homogenized and mapped using new tools that were specially developed for that. To meet the expectations of spatial organization and chronology, new information has been gathered. These data, collected in notes and synthesised through a set of archaeological descriptors, allow us to reflect on a better definition of the small towns characterization and on the study of their evolution paths.It is from the typo-chronology of the towns that spatial, morphological and temporal dynamics are highlighted on the scale of the Saône Valley, then are compared to the Central-East of Gaul’s data. The internal analysis of towns makes it possible to understand the place and role of the main components of occupancies such as monumental adornments, habitat types or handicraft. The research shows the importance and the variety of the urban area towns in the settlement system of Saône Valley from the end of the Latenian period. The organization of ancient networks, resulting from a very marked protohistorical heritage, and the urban dynamics indicate recurrences and specificities to each of the cities.This thesis makes an unprecedented synthesis on the emergence, development and future of this remarkable urban network, whose structure is still distinctly discernible nowadays.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och jämföra studie- och yrkesvägledares sätt att arbeta i småstadsskolor respektive storstadsskolor. Studien genomfördes i tre högstadieskolor i Stockholm läns förort och respektive tre högstadieskolor och en F-9 skola i liten stad och by Dalarnas län. Forskningsfrågor: Vi vill få svar på våra forskningsfrågor – hur arbetar studie- och yrkesvägledare med vägledning i småstad respektive storstad för att säkerhetsställa att verksamheten följer de nationella styrdokumenten som finns och vad är det som skiljer respondenternas arbetssätt. Metod: Som metod har vi valt en kvalitativ skriftlig enkät och innehållsanalys av kommunernas arbetsplaner. Genom att låta fyra studie- och yrkesvägledare besvara en enkät har vi fått en tydligare bild om hur det kan se ut i verkligheten. Resultat: Resultatet visar att det finns mer likheter än olikheter i studie- och yrkesvägledarnas arbetssätt och indikerade på vikten och behovet av djupare förståelse för vägledningsuppdraget i och för SYV:s roll i att uppnå den eftersträvade kvalité och likvärdighet. Slutsats: Med tanke på studiens storlek drar vi inga generaliserande slutsatser. Utifrån enkätstudien och den empirin vi fick från respondenterna kan vi dra slutsats att det är inte så markant skillnad om studie- och yrkesvägledare arbetar i småstad eller i storstad. Det som egentligen spelar roll är synen på uppdraget i sig och förståelsen från alla involverade parter i både storstads- och småstadsskolor. / Method: As a method, we have chosen a qualitative written questionnaire and content analysis of the municipal work plans. By having four study and career counselors answer a questionnaire, we have got a clearer picture of what it might look like in reality. Results: The results show that there are more similarities than differences in the study and career counselor’s working methods and indicated the importance and need for deeper understanding of the study and career counseling assignment and for their role in achieving the desired quality and equivalence. Conclusion: Given the size of the study, we do not make any generalizing conclusions. Based on the survey study and the empiricism we received from the respondents, we can conclude that it is not so significant difference if study and career counselors work in small towns or in big cities. What really matters is the vision of the mission itself and the understanding of all parties involved in both metropolitan and small-town schools.

This Bachelor’s Thesis discusses the Swedish artist and photographer Birger Gabriel Sjöberg. He was born in Varberg, Sweden in the year of 1835 and died 40 years later, in the year of 1875. During his short-lived life he accomplished creating both paintings and photographs connected to his hometown. These are now of value by culture-historical means. By answering question formulations regarding his living, education and esthetic production, the main purpose is to give a synoptic presentation of both his life and work. Since Sjöberg is not a part of the widely known context of art history, the thesis also strives to bring a light to a mostly unknown and unwritten artist. This study contains of two main parts, one biographical part, and one iconological part were a chosen number of his paintings and photographs are discussed. Throughout the iconological part, the works are analysed by means of Heinrich Wölfflin’s Principles of Art History. The introducing of the works is to give an overall apprehension about what he achieved concerning his creating in both work and private life.

The diploma thesis follows up the design of a senior-housing building in a small town called Velké Němčice. The design project was preceded by the creation of “Strategic Plan for the Sustainability and Possible Development of the Residency” in the form of a book publication based on analyzes, research of the area and discussion with the members of the city council. According to this publication several specific topics were created for more detailed elaboration. The solution of senior-housing belongs among the other goals of Velké Němčice town since as other small towns in Czech Republic they face the same problem of an aging population. As a part of a project there were selected various potential locations for senior-housing buildings and possible forms of these facilities were considered. The selected plot is located in the very center of the town nearby school, football field and also residential area. It was necessary to work with these aspects in order to achieve the best result both for seniors and for town residents. The building design is intended for self-sufficient seniors who still want to be part of social interaction both with town residents and with the younger generation. In a case of reduced mobility the apartments are designed in a way that can be easily modified and seniors do not need to move to another location. Common areas (indoor and outdoor) are used for recreation of all residents of the house including meetings with relatives and close friends. The outer part of the residency serves as a space where the process of socialization takes place the most. The pre-diploma thesis was developed in a group as a team-work and this cooperation also continued during the individual assignment of diploma theses. The common goal of all collaborators is to improve the environment of the town and life in it itself.

The concept sharing economy (collaborative economy or collaborative consumption) has recently gained attention in several cities over the world, with its promotion offering a prospective new path to sustainable development. In current research, most scholars cover global initiatives or initiatives in larger cities, but very few to none of them seem to have investigated the situation and potential in smaller cities. This empirical study therefore investigates both existing initiatives and work with collaborative consumption as well as the future potential and possible challenges for further promotion in a small town context, using Norrtälje town in Sweden as a case study for exploring the topic. In this study, a sharing economy is defined as a socio-economic system enabling consumers to gain access to commonly under-utilized physical assets in collaborative practices of sharing, borrowing, bartering, swapping, renting, redistributing, buying second-hand, repairing and rebuilding goods, instead of consuming new goods and/or owning privately, taking place either via online platforms or through physical infrastructure, possibly in exchange for financial compensation. A mixed method approach, including both qualitative and quantitative methods, was used in this study. The data collection included semi-structured interviews with both sharing economy initiators and the Norrtälje municipality Sustainability strategist, an online survey shared with residents in Norrtälje, as well a qualitative desk-based study. The collected results were then analysed though the lens of a formed theoretical framework, covering the themes of conditions for success and important stakeholders in a sharing economy context, as well as drivers for starting or using these initiatives and possible environmental, social and economic benefits of implementing a sharing economy. The findings showed that 11 initiatives currently exist in Norrtälje, and that the Norrtälje residents generally are very positive towards using sharing economy services. Further, it was found that the municipality is not actively working with collaborative consumption, but has been, and still is, involved in a few sharing economy activities. The findings of this study contribute to discussions on the actual role of the municipality in a sharing economy context, suggesting that the involvement of the municipality indeed is very important in regards to sharing economy initiatives, but that it is unclear from a municipal perspective whether it is actually included in the role of the municipality to promote and work with sharing economy initiatives. The results from this study suggests that the future for sharing economy initiatives in Norrtälje town looks bright. However, some challenges were found in relation to the promotion of a sharing economy in a small town context, including the current political situation not prioritising municipal involvement, the economic situation of the municipality not being able to prioritise municipal involvement, difficulties in understanding the concept among those who work for the municipality, negative mindsets among municipal workers, and lack of funding to existing and possible future initiatives. These challenges might have to be overcome in order for sharing economy initiatives to be able to grow and thrive. Further, this study found that it is believed from a small town municipal perspective it most likely is easier for a larger city to work with sharing economy initiatives, while on the contrary existing scholars suggest that the small town context might indeed be more beneficial for these types of initiatives.

This thesis is the first qualitative study of parental involvement in education regarding students in one key township high school in an undeveloped small town in southern China. This thesis aims to examine parental expectations and strategies in the voices of parents. To achieve this goal, this thesis examines the social class of the interviewed parents while considering place. It explores the distinctions in the shared thoughts embodied in life stories as parents perceive or articulate their identities and interests with the parents’ lived experiences, particularly with schooling, occupational careers, and their place identities in cities, towns, and villages. Using concepts of cultural production and penetration, defined by Paul Willis, “penetration” pertains to parents’ insights into the use of education in reflection of parents’ embodied experience and social conditions, while “cultural production” refers to the outcome of collective parental practices and a meaning-making process regarding parental involvement in education. Oral history interviews were conducted with ten families (five fathers and five mothers). This research argues that parents can be divided into two groups based on the distinction of identities of interests in schooling, occupational career, and place of identity, with one group having long-term employment and the other having short-term jobs. Therefore, two sets of parental expectations are conceptualized through penetrations: onward mobility from the periphery to the center and upward mobility from a short-term to a long-term job. Finally, all parents produce the culture of “it depends on himself/ herself” regarding parental involvement in education and conduct four types of parental strategies considering parents’ social class and children’s grades parents perceive: position, trust, ambivalence, and distance.
