This thesis aims to increase the sensitivity of foreign tourists who want to rent a flat on Airbnb and let tourists and households take their responsibility of Airbnb through explaining the relationship between Airbnb and social environments. In recent years, Airbnb has been one of the top choices for short-term accommodation renting. However, an issue needing to be cared about is subconsciously affecting the social environment, which is contrary to sustainable development.  The text can be divided into two parts. In the first part, the impact of Airbnb on the social environment of big cities will be analyzed from two aspects - sharing economy and gentrification. Social networks and the negative effects are the main content that will be discussed in sharing economy. At the same time, gentrification will respond to it through a typical case study in Barcelona.  In the second part, the design project will be analyzed in order to support my theoretical part. Critical design as the core element in my design projects will be analyzed through a communication plan. This plan will become my design proposal to realize the creation of a common network platform in order to attract more attention to this issue.

Para tal, foram desenvolvidas três análises baseadas em um estudo epidemiológico observacional do tipo transversal que apresentou os seguintes objetivos específicos: 1. Investigar, por meio de um inquérito epidemiológico, a existência de associações entre a variável desfecho QVRSB e as variáveis preditoras saúde bucal, nível socioeconômico, ambiente familiar, percepções subjetivas dos escolares e dos seus pais sobre sua saúde geral e bucal; 2. Testar associações entre as condições clínicas e socioambientais e a variável desfecho (QVRSB) de acordo com os domínios do instrumento usado para este fim (Child Perceptions Questionnaires - CPQ11-14); 3. Avaliar a existência de associações entre a percepção dos pais sobre a saúde bucal e geral de seus filhos, as condições de saúde bucal e a QVRSB em escolares. Para o estudo 1, a amostra foi composta de 515 escolares de 12 anos de idade, provenientes de escola públicas e particulares do município de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, mediante processo amostral por conglomerado. Para os estudos 2 e 3, uma subamostra de 283 escolares foi utilizada. Foram coletados dados clínicos relativos à presença de cárie, trauma dentário, sangramento gengival, defeitos do desenvolvimento do esmalte, necessidade de tratamento e má oclusão. Para isto, foram utilizados os seguintes índices: CPOD, ceod, SiC, índice modificado de defeitos de desenvolvimento do esmalte (DDE) e índice de estética dental (DAI). Informações relativas a QVRSB nos escolares foram obtidas por meio da aplicação da versão brasileira do questionário CPQ11-14. Os escolares também responderam as questões referentes ao ambiente familiar e as percepções sobre sua saúde bucal e geral. Aos pais foi enviado um questionário com a finalidade de avaliar as percepções dos mesmos em relação à saúde bucal e geral de seus filhos, além de questões sobre o nível socioeconômico. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de estatística descritiva, teste qui-quadrado e regressão de Poisson. Também foram utilizados testes não paramétricos. Em relação ao estudo 1, controlando variáveis confundidoras, observou-se que as variáveis percepção da criança sobre sua saúde bucal ruim, renda familiar menor que três salários, gênero feminino, necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico, mãe com até 8 anos de escolaridade, até 2 irmãos e aglomeração por domicílio maior que uma pessoa por cômodo apresentaram impacto negativo em sua auto-percepção relacionada à QVRSB (p<0,05). Para o estudo 2, verificou-se que o gênero da criança, renda e escolaridade da mãe foram estatisticamente associados com os quatro domínios do CPQ11-14, assim como a necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico foi fortemente associada com o domínio 'limitações funcionais'. As crianças com presença de sangramento e que não moravam com ambos os pais biológicos relataram maior impacto nos domínios bem-estar emocional e social da QVRSB. Para o estudo 3, de acordo com testes não-paramétricos, observaram-se associações estatisticamente significantes entre a percepção dos pais sobre saúde bucal e geral dos escolares e o relato de QVBSB (p<0.05). Conclui-se que as condições socioambientais podem ter influências negativas sobre a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (Capítulo 1), constatando-se que o impacto desses fatores pode ser diferente entre os quatro domínios do instrumento utilizado (Capítulo 2). Além disso, verificou-se que houve associação entre a percepção subjetiva dos pais e a QVRSB dos escolares (Capítulo 3), demonstrando que o ambiente familiar pode exercer influência sobre aspectos subjetivos relacionados à saúde bucal em escolares / Abstract: Considering the growing interest in the individual's subjective perceptions about their oral health and quality of life, the present study aimed at evaluating the impact of subjective perceptions and socio-environmental conditions on schoolchildren's oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). To this end, we developed an analysis based on three observational epidemiological transversal that revealed the following specific objectives: 1. Investigate, by epidemiological survey, the associations outcome variable OHRQoL and oral health, socioeconomic status, home environment, subjective perceptions of parents and schoolchildren about oral and general health; 2. To test associations between clinical conditions and socioenvironmental and outcome variable (OHRQoL) according to the domains of the instrument (Child Perceptions Questionnaires - CPQ11-14); 3. To evaluate the associations between parents'perception about oral and general health of their children, the oral health status of schoolchildren and OHRQoL. For the study a sample composed of 515 students from 12 years old, from public and private schools in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, through conglomerate sampling process. For studies 2 and 3, a sub-sample of 283 students was used. We collected data on the presence of caries, dental trauma, bleeding gums, developmental enamel defects and dental and malocclusion treatment needs. For this, we used the following indices: DMFT, dmft, SiC, modified developmental defects of enamel index (DDE) and dental aesthetic index (DAI). Information concerning the OHRQoL in schoolchildren were obtained through the application of the Brazilian version of questionnaire CPQ11-14. The students also answered questions relating to home environment and perceptions about oral and general health. Parents were sent a questionnaire about their perception in relation to oral and general health of their children, as well as questions about socioeconomic status. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test and Poisson regression, and nonparametric tests. In relation to Study 1, controlling confounding variables, it showed that the variables children's self perception of their oral health, low family income, female gender, orthodontic treatment need, 8 years of mother's education, until 2 siblings and household overcrowding with more one person for room had negative impact on their self perception related to OHRQoL. For the second study, it was found that the gender of the child, income and mother's education were statistically associated with the four domains of CPQ11-14, as well as the orthodontic treatment need was strongly associated with the domain 'functional limitations'. Children with presence of bleeding and that not living with both biological parents reported greater impact on emotional and social well-being of OHRQoL. For study 3, According to nonparametric tests, it was found statistically significant associations between parents' perception about oral and general health and report of OHRQoL of schoolchildren (p <0.05). We conclude that the socio-environmental conditions can have negative influences on OHRQoL (Chapter 1), noting that the impact of these factors may be different among the four domains of the instrument used - CPQ11-14 (Chapter 2). Moreover, it was found that there was an association between the subjective perception of the parents and schoolchildren's OWRQoL (Chapter 3), demonstrating that the family environment can influence the subjective aspects related to oral health in children / Mestrado / Saude Coletiva / Mestre em Odontologia

A substantial number of older women are adversely affected by mild to severe levels of depression. In this study the Social Health Outreach Program (SHOP), an educational intervention originally developed for middle-aged women, was modified and implemented with depressed and non-depressed older women. Through an educative process, participants learned ways to strengthen personal social networks as a means of augmenting social identity and overcoming depression. The purposes of the study were: 1) to measure the impact of SHOP on older women's levels of depression and demoralization, and on their social networks; 2) to determine factors either within or outside of SHOP that helped or hindered their progress during the program; and 3) to describe and analyze their experience of depression. A total of 15 women, aged 58 to 76, participated in a 20 session version of SHOP over a ten week period. Measures of depression and demoralization were obtained before, after and three months following the program; social networks measures were also obtained at three month follow-up. Participants' perceptions about their experience of depression, and about program factors and other concurrent aspects of life that helped or hindered their progress during the program, were obtained in post-program interviews. Outcomes validated SHOP'S approach and demonstrated that with slight modification the program is as effective with older women as it is with mid-life women. Participants who were depressed at pre-test showed a significant decline in depression scores; on measures of demoralization, changes were in the direction expected, although non-significant. Participants reported significant gains to their social networks in terms of people and groups added. Content analysis of interview data yielded 205 helping incidents and 130 hindering incidents that occurred during the program period; from these, 20 categories of factors that advanced participants' progress during the program, and 19 categories of factors that impeded their progress, were determined. This study supported the view that for many older women depression originates in their social environment. The findings validated SHOP'S educational program as a means of increasing social participation, re-constructing social identity and overcoming depression. / Education, Faculty of / Graduate

It has previously been suggested that a person's behavior in a place is mediated by his or her plans, and by his or her emotional response to the place; but the possible interactive effects of these influences have not been explored. Not only may a particular mood be the goal of a plan, but the process of planning may also produce changes in the planner's mood. It is here argued that a person's emotional response to a place is influenced by the extent of the alterations the place requires be made in his or her plans. It has been generally assumed that a person's liking of a place is decreased if it does not fit his or her plan, but the experiments reported here indicate that some incongruity may actually increase liking of a place if the person is able to modify the plans. Three experiments examined the effects of planning on two dimensions of mood--pleasure and arousal--and for liking of places. In experiment one, subjects who had just completed planning a route for completing a list of errands reported higher arousal than subjects who had judged the time required to complete the same errands. In experiment two, subjects who executed their own plan reported higher pleasure than subjects who executed a plan they had been given. In experiment three, subjects who had to alter their plans to accommodate the unexpected features of a place reported higher arousal and pleasure, and increased liking of the place over subjects who did not have to re-plan. These results suggest that the process of planning has measureable effects on mood and that these effects influence place-liking. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate
