This way we intend to understand who these honored women are, and what are the social roles previously thought for them and, above all, which gender representations that have been created and explicit in the urban space of this young city in the North of Parana State which counts more than 4,000 public places. For each street a name is chosen and then homages are rendered to nature, countries, states and cities. But there are some streets, squares and avenues that are endowed with names that evoke historical characters from local, national or global history, honoring their lives and works. We assume that naming streets and squares of a city is providing symbolic meaning to the urban element chosen, while we celebrate, concomitantly, that event or character represented there / Mestre

In this qualitative thesis I have studied the process of street-naming in Budapest. I have done this primarily through examining legislative and street name records in Budapest in order to define a distinctive use of history. In an attempt to concretise public opinion, I designed and distributed a succinct questionnaire and used newspaper articles to create a clear view of the political milieu. Furthermore, I have utilised a typological method to summarise the use of history and elucidate the results. I came to the conclusion that a moral and, to some extent, ideological use of history is dominating the street-naming situation in contemporary Budapest. My analysis also showed a discrepancy between decision-makers and citizens regarding the handling of odonyms. / I denna kvalitativa analys har jag undersökt processen kring gatunamnsbyten i Budapest. Främst har jag studerat lagstiftning och gatunamnsregister i Budapest för att finna ett centralt historiebruk. Jag har sekundärt även skapat en mindre enkät och gått igenom ett begränsat antal tidningar för att få fram en folklig opinion i relation till beslutsfattningen. Jag har operationaliserat en beprövad historiebrukstypologi för att kunna konkretisera resultatet. Jag kom fram till slutsatsen att ett moraliskt och, i viss mån, även ett ideologiskt historiebruk dominerar hanteringen av gatunamn i dagens Budapest. Analysen visade också att det råder en diskrepans mellan beslutsfattares och invånares syn på hanteringen av odonymer.

This research is aimed at investigating public participation in street naming in the KwaMashu Township of the eThekwini municipality in South Africa. Public participation in policy decision-making in post-apartheid South Africa has been characterised by conflict and contestation. Authentic public participation in local governance has been the subject of considerable research and the concept is often regarded as an ideal because of the numerous challenges associated with the practical implementation of authentic public participation in post-apartheid South Africa. Decision making in local governance is meant to be grounded on public participation. However, the realisation of authentic public participation in decision-making in local governance remains a challenge for local government in South Africa. In this study, I examine the process of public participation in street naming in the KwaMashu Township. I employed public participation as my theoretical framework. I adopted a qualitative research methodology which comprises of semi-structured interviews and documents analysis. Four key questions are explored in the study are as follows: firstly, what is the contextualization and understanding of public participation in the eThekwini municipality? Secondly, what is the extent of public participation in street naming, in the KwaMashu Township of the eThekwini municipality? Thirdly, how does public participation in street naming in the KwaMashu Township, influence decision making within the eThekwini municipality? Fourthly, how does political party affiliation impact on public participation in KwaMashu Township? Results of the research study indicate that community members in the KwaMashu Township do not share common perceptions of the extent of their participation in the street naming process. The study further reveals that community participation in issues of local governance in KwaMashu, are influenced by political affiliation of community members. These findings indicate that public participation should be detached from party politics for the development of communities in South Africa. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2011.
