O sobrenome de uma pessoa demarca a sua identidade, se trata de um direito relacionado à decência humana, portanto, o nome completo é a individualização do ser humano na sociedade, sendo um dos principais direitos de cidadania. Por muito tempo, para as noivas, tratava-se de uma obrigatoriedade: toda mulher que oficializasse o matrimônio, teria que acrescentar o sobrenome de seu esposo ao de sua família. Hoje, se trata de escolha e não mais de obrigação. Esta pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo-descritivo, teve por objetivo averiguar se na prática as mudanças da legislação (modificações legais ocorridas desde a Lei do Divórcio em 1977 até o Novo Código Civil de 2002) alteraram os hábitos das mulheres em inserir ou não o sobrenome do marido ao casar. A partir de um questionário, aplicado em 20 mulheres que se casaram legalmente após a data da valência desse direito que responderam às questões nas quais consistiam em perguntas abertas e fechadas baseadas em um roteiro para análise do conteúdo programático. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que para a maioria das participantes o uso do sobrenome do marido aconteceu de modo "Automático" (já que suas avós e mães carregam os sobrenomes de seus esposos), demonstrando a força do costume e a exclusão perante o sexo masculino, confirmada através da submissão na qual sem que percebam a fazem. Também se constatou que nem sempre as participantes dessa investigação foram informadas no cartório sobre a possibilidade de deixar de adicionar o sobrenome do marido ao seu nome. Não foram avisadas sobre os seus direitos, faltou essa educação na escola e na família. Com essa nítida ausência de conhecimento acerca do Código Civil Brasileiro, veio a necessidade do fazer social: a presente pesquisa... / Resumen: El derecho que la mujer tiene al elegir entre la adición o no del apellido del marido fue promulgado en 1977. El apellido de una persona delimita su identidad, es un derecho relacionado con la decencia humana, por lo tanto, el nombre completo es la individualización de los seres humanos en la sociedad, siendo uno de los principales derechos de ciudadanía. Por mucho tiempo, para las novias, era un requisito: cada mujer que oficializaba el matrimonio, habría que añadir el apellido del varón a lo apellido de su familia. Hoy se trata de una opción y no es más una obligación. Esta investigación cualitativa descriptiva, tuvo por objetivo de examinar si en la práctica las permutas de la legislación cambiaron demasiado o poco los hábitos de las mujeres al uso del apellido del marido al casarse. Además, delimitar quiénes son las mujeres del presente y cómo han reaccionado a la utilización del derecho vigentes en la Ley. Con un cuestionario, aplicado en 20 mujeres casadas legalmente después de la fecha inicial del derecho que respondieron a las preguntas que constan de indagaciones abiertas y cerradas, basadas en una ruta de cuestiones para el análisis de los contenidos programáticos. Los resultados obtenidos indican que para la mayoría de las participantes el uso del apellido del marido se pasó así de modo "Automático" (Puesto que sus abuelas y madres llevan el apellido de sus maridos). Demostrando la fuerza de la costumbre y la exclusión ante el hombre, confirmada a través de la subordinación en el cual sin que se dan cuenta la hacen. También constatase en esta investigación que no siempre las participantes de esta investigación fueron informadas sobre la posibilidad de agregar el apellido del marido a su nombre.

The surname of a person demarcates its identity, it is a right related to human decency. Therefore, the full name is the individualization of the human in the society, being one of the main rights of citizenship. Intangible element, but as fundamental as the set of goods and wealth held by individuals. For a long time for brides, it was a requirement: every woman that formalize her marriage, should add the husband's surname to her family. Today it became a choice and no more an obligation. This qualitative-descriptive research aimed to establish if in the practice the transformation in legislation changed the women habits in add or not the husband surname when marrying. From a questionnaire applied in 20 women who were married legally after the date of the right valance answered questions consisting of open and closed questions based on a guide for programmatic content analysis. The results obtained indicate that for most participants using the surname of her husband it happened in "automatic" mode (since their grandmothers and mothers carry the surname of their spouses), showing the strength of custom and exclusion toward the male, confirmed through the submission in do it without realizing why. Also discovered that not always the participants of this investigation were informed at City Hall about the possibility of not add the surname's husband to his name. Were not advised of their rights, lacking this education at school and in the family. With this clear lack of knowledge of the Brazilian Civil Code, brings the necessity of do a social work: this research culminates with a proposal of educational intervention that offers the cultural capital missed for the betrothed, because it is necessary to put people knowing the laws and their rights. The intervention is about a drafting of a booklet entitled ... / Mestre

It demarcation the identity of the person and is a right related to human decency, therefore, the full name is the human individualization, being a subject that must be discussed in the school context. The objective of this study is to understand how men legally married after the year 2002 have reacted of the use of the wife's surname in a marriage situation, given that since the promulgation of the new Brazilian Civil code, men are free to adopt or not the consort's surname. Due to a cultural process, for the woman it was mandatory - when the marriage became official, she would have to add the surname of her spouse to that of her family. However, from the divorce Law of 1977, it became an option and no longer an obligation for women, in this regulation nothing was mentioned about the same right in relation to the husband, however, in the discourse of the new Civil Code of 2002 (art. 1.565, &1º) also extended to men the right to adopt the wife's surname. Considering the fairness of rights, the objective of this work was to ascertain whether in contemporary practice the changes in legislation altered the habits of men in inserting the wife's surname when marrying. Twenty legally married men residing in the city of Lençóis Paulista answered a questionnaire with open and closed questions, an instrument to collect data from the present research.

While the role of culture as an influence on consumer behaviour and product/service choice has long been acknowledged, the current literature in marketing offers an incomplete understanding of how and why culture plays its influential role (Overby, Woodruff and Gardial 2005). Research suggests that values provide the link between culture and consumer behaviour and values have been the focus of much research in the social sciences. In particular, values have received significant attention in cross-cultural research, being used to characterise the similarities within and differences across cultures. Values are central to the marketing discipline as they determine value, i.e. what activities, interests, and material goods consumers identify with, enjoy, acquire, or consume (Grunert and Muller 1996). Both directly and indirectly, values drive consumption behaviour. Typically, values have been assessed and compared through the use of standard measures such as Rokeach�s Value Survey, the List of Values and Schwartz�s Value Survey. Recent literature highlights growing concern over the application of standard measures across cultures and issues of cross-cultural invariance. There is a need for new research into cross-cultural applications of consumer value measures and theoretical models. This thesis critiques the use of Western conceptual paradigms and imposed etics in value research, and, using a Japanese tourism context, seeks a deeper understanding of how culture and values affect tourism consumption and experience. This thesis offers an empirical test of the cross-cultural applicability of a commonly used values scale in consumer research, the List of Values (Kahle 1983). The findings of this phase of the research extend the literature concerning methodological issues in values research and highlight the limitiations of the LOV as a cross-cultural measure of values. Based on these findings the thesis adopts an alternative, qualitative methodology to investigate the relationship between Japanese culture, values and tourism behaviour in New Zealand. The findings of the second phase of the research contribute to a recent call in the literature for more qualitative research in tourism, and allow the identification and understanding of the key values relevant to Japanese tourism behaviour. The results of Means-End interviews with Japanese visitors reveal the important cultural assumptions informing values and shaping tourism decisions and behaviours for two key groups of Japanese tourists. The theoretical framework presented in this thesis promotes our understanding of the relationship between cultural beliefs, values, and consumer behaviour. The results of the primary research highlight the importance of cultural and physical history, world-view, self-concept, thought patterns and language in the formation and interpretation of values. The thesis presents a holistic attempt at understanding Japanese culture, values and travel behaviour by examining how these concepts cohere in a logical framework. The thesis argues that, given the inherently cultural nature of values, their interpretation within the context of cultural beliefs is highly important in understanding variability in consumer behaviour across cultures.

Heritage values are multivalent. To make informed decisions in conservation, a comprehensive understanding of all types of values that a heritage place holds is essential. Among these heritage values, social values have come to the foreground of heritage conservation recently. It is recognized that there is a lack of methods to assess social values. Social values have not been successfully integrated into the study of a heritage place. Neglecting the social values poses risks to the comprehensive and successful conservation. To understand and gauge social values, several questions should be answered first: What are social values? What define them? How would they be measured? By exploring answers to these questions, this paper aims to develop some key assessment indicators for social values. Then, these proposed assessment indicators will be tested out on a case study: the Peel and Graham Street Market in the Central District in Hong Kong. The process and the findings will also be discussed and presented in the paper. To go through the process of measuring social values is another aim of this paper. In the concluding chapter of this paper, the importance of a comprehensive understanding of heritage values, including social values will be reiterated. Lessons learned from the assessment of social values will be presented and discussed. / published_or_final_version / Conservation / Master / Master of Science in Conservation

Plantation forests ecosystem functions provide a range of indirect benefits known as forest services. There is lack of knowledge and estimation of the value of forest services.The main aim of the research was to investigate the environmental and social value of plantation forests in New Zealand. Each step of the research was built up on the perspectives of the stakeholder groups identified. A stakeholder analysis revealed that the most relevant stakeholder group was Adjacent neighbours. Through a postal survey forest managers and stakeholders indicated they considered as most relevant Erosion control and Water regulation (quality and quantity) Employment, Increased living standard, and Recreation. These services became the focus for the rest of the study. Through focus groups, the most relevant stakeholder groups, identified and ranked positive and negative aspects in forestry, and selected attributes describing the forest services. These were: Amount of sediment in water (water quality), Algae in water (water quality), Percentage of land stabilisation (erosion control), and Level of water flow (water quantity). The attributes for the attitudinal questions were classified as Community, Employment, and Recreation. The environmental value of plantation forests was estimated through choice modelling. The valuation survey was carried out only in Hawke's Bay. The payment vehicle used was increased regional council rates with the objective of monitoring environmental quality of soil and water. Several models were estimated by adding interactions between variables. Model 15b was selected as it provided best model fit and integrated respondents' demographic and attitudinal characteristics. The results of the model indicated that respondents who had university studies and positive attitude towards plantation forest community values were more willing to pay for improved levels of land stabilisation. The implicit prices estimated indicated that the wider community in Hawke's Bay have a greater appreciation for water quality (lower levels of algae and sediments). The responses to the attitudinal questions indicated that most respondents had positive attitudes towards the community and practical uses of plantations and employment-related values, particularly older respondents. The environmental and social values identified were linked with forest operations in order to analyse the impact they have. Land preparation and planting, road construction, and harvesting are the forest operations that have a greater impact on the levels of sediment in water.
