Orientador: Samira Peduti Kahil / Banca: Adriana Maria Bernardes da Silva / Banca: Fabio Betiolo Contel / Resumo: O trabalho preocupa-se em compreender o uso do território pelo sistema financeiro. Para tanto, estabelecemos um debate com importantes autores que tratam da temática e procedemos a um levantamento de dados que consideramos elementos e variáveis importantes para demonstrarmos a constituição do espaço geográfico na sucessão e consecução da formação do território brasileiro. Tudo isso permitiu-nos uma periodização das transformações impostas ao território, pelos sistemas de atividades financeiras. Assim, num primeiro momento, tratamos de analisar a dispersão do sistema financeiro pelo território nacional, a redução do número de bancos e a concentração dos pontos de comando e, num segundo momento, quando a difusão de técnicas e normas possibilitam a reorganização do sistema financeiro e maior intervenção do sistema financeiro mundial. Diante da atual situação geográfica, procuramos entender a desigual distribuição do dinheiro, analisando os fluxos e os fixos relacionados ao sistema financeiro em território nacional e, por último, buscamos tratar de um processo recente - a financeirização de amplas camadas da população, incluindo as classes sociais de baixa renda e a conseqüente ampliação do consumo, bem como, entender quais as conseqüências dessa política para a sociedade e para o território brasileiro. / Abstract: The paper focuses on understanding the use of territory by the financial system. To do so, we debate with important authors that dealt with this theme and we searched data that we consider important elements and variables to demonstrate the formation of geographic space in the succession and achieving of the formation of Brazilian territory. All this enabled us to divide the changes that were imposed on the territory, by the system of financial activities, in periods. Thus, at first, we analyzed the dispersion of financial system over national territory, the reduction of number of banks and the concentration of command points and, secondly, when the diffusion of techniques and rules enabled the restructuring of the financial system and a stronger intervention of the global financial system. Facing the contemporary geographic reality, we focused on understanding the inequality of money distribution, analyzing the flows and fixed related to the financial system in national territory and, finally, we tried to treat of a recent process - the financialization of large layers of population, including the low-income social classes and the consequent rising of consumption as well as understanding the consequences of this policy to society and to territory. / Mestre

This dissertation deals with the Official Development Assistance. The purpose of this dissertation was, first of all, to find out whether the target aid is focused on the poorest countries of the world. The theoretical part concentrates primarily on the institutional history of the Official Development Assistance and also on the development of mainstream theories which influenced it to the highest degree. In the analytical part the dissertation draws particularly from the database of the Development Assistance Committee under the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. From the global point of view, the dissertation is focused especially on the quantitative analysis of the changes in the allocation of the Official Development Assistance in the period from 1989 to 2008. From the geographical point of view, the spatio-temporal change in territorial priorities of important bilateral and multilateral donors and also the dependence of their expenditure on the socio-economic maturity of aid beneficiaries was analysed. The ability to clearly define the territorial priorities and on their basis to effectively target the development assistance is in national context analysed on the example of the Czech Republic. From the local point of view, the dissertation gives a brief description of the...

Long-term evolution of nature-society interactions can be studied by using data of land use change. In the thesis is used a detailed statistical database of Czechia (developed at Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Science). The database allows monitoring changes of eight categories of land use in the period 1845-2000. Attention is devoted to the growing differentiation of land use at different scale levels, the thesis is concentrated on functional specialization of czech regions. Deepening division of labour between regions is reflected by increasing territorial concentration of land use. This process is monitored by using three methods. Ternary plots present an overview of the differentiation trends of land use. Spatial autocorrelation methods present the general development and specific areas of functional specialization in Czechia. A review by territorial heterogeneity rate provides a detailed look at the change of territorial concentration of land use. The thesis operates with three territorial classifications (hydrological, geomorphological and administrative) at two regional levels and the level of Czechia. Results are interpreted using the driving forces (such as technological development, economics, historical events, society). The final part of the thesis compares the development of...
