This thesis is focused on the analysis of the housing construction developmental tendencies in selected Czech cities and in their hinterlands. Housing construction is considered as the main indicator of the ongoing suburbanization process. The housing construction analysis covers the last twenty years (1997-2016), because in the mid-1990s suburbanization in Czechia has begun to intensify. The development of housing construction is at first analysed at the level of all municipalities of Czechia, using spatial data analysis. In the next sections of the thesis the development of housing construction and population changes are analysed in the defined functional regions of 120 selected cities. These cities are categorized into groups based on their population size and economic characteristics. The results show an increase of housing construction in the cities' hinterlands, which has been dampened due to the economic crisis. Differences in the development of housing construction between functional regions of cities with different population size and economic categories were successfully demonstrated. There are also other factors influencing housing construction and population changes in cities' functional regions. Especially, the geographical position appears to be of great significance, since the cities...

Les emporia, sites commerciaux abritant des activités artisanales, apparaissent aux VIIe et VIIIe siècles sur les rives des mers du Nord, Baltique et Manche, alors que le centre de gravité économique se déplace de la Méditerranée vers le Nord, que les échanges se font plus massifs et que les pouvoirs politiques se recomposent. Situés à la fois à la périphérie des royaumes en train de se constituer et au centre des réseaux d'échanges, ce sont des lieux de rencontre (économique, politique, culturelle), où marchands anglo-saxons, francs, frisons, scandinaves et slaves échangent marchandises et idées, ainsi que des centres de consommation, de production, d'échange, de stockage et de transit. Leurs caractéristiques communes permettent de comparer les sites scandinaves (Birka, Kaupang, Hedeby, Ribe), anglo-saxon (Hamwic) et francs (Quentovic et Dorestad), en les resituant par rapport aux changements politiques, économiques et sociaux entre le VIIe et le Xe siècle. Pour cela, cette étude s'appuie sur des sources à la fois textuelles et archéologiques, dans le cadre d'une approche interdisciplinaire, sollicitant l'archéologie, la géographie, l'anthropologie. On se demandera comment les emporia et leurs hinterlands interagissaient, en termes d'approvisionnement, de diffusion des monnaies et objets, et quelles relations entretenaient ces ports avec les différents pouvoirs, en abordant leurs fonctions fiscales, administratives, juridiques et même religieuses, pour esquisser des réseaux sociaux, à des échelles différentes (du local aux réseaux d'échanges à longue-distance), tout en s'interrogeant sur les liens entre les différents emporia en Europe du Nord-Ouest, voire au-delà. / The emporia, trading-stations with manufacturing activities, appear during the 7th and 8th centuries on the North Sea, Baltic and Channel shores, when the economic axis moved from the Mediterranean Sea towards the North, when the exchanges become more important and the political powers are remodeled. On the periphery of kingdoms being set up and at the heart of exchange networks, they are meeting places, with economic, political and cultural aspects and where Anglo-Saxon, Frankish, Frisian, Scandinavian and Slav traders mingle with each other. They are also consumption centers and producing sites where exchanges, storage and transit can take place. Thanks to their common characteristics we can compare Scandinavian sites (Birka, Kaupang, Hedeby, Ribe), Anglo-Saxon site (Hamwic) and Frankish sites (Quentovic and Dorestad), in a context of political, economic and social changes during the 7th-10th centuries. To this end, this study rests on both written and archaeological sources, in an interdisciplinary approach using archaeology, geography, anthropology. We will wonder how the emporia and their hinterlands interact, as regards supply issues, coinage, importations and craft productions circulation. We will also examine the relationships between the emporia and various authorities, and elaborate on the fiscal, administrative, juridical and even religious functions of these trading ports, to outline social networks, on different scales (from local insertion to integration in the long-distance trade networks), while examining the links between the different emporia in Northwestern Europe and even beyond.

O processo de crescimento da produção da soja e a necessidade de eficiência em seu escoamento, atrelado a um menor custo logístico total, demanda a elaboração de um planejamento operacional que delimite as áreas de influências dos portos, as hinterlands; e mantenha a estabilidade do mercado. Entretanto, o menor custo logístico total para escoamento da produção não é respeitado em alguns fluxos por conta de restrições de transporte multimodal. Em consonância a isso, os projetos futuros de implantação de novas rotas para o escoamento da produção, delimitadas por investimentos em transporte multimodal, instalação de novos portos e terminais de transbordo de carga, vem interferindo nessas áreas de influência aumentando a dinâmica do negócio. Este estudo possui como objetivo caracterizar a dinâmica das rotas de escoamento da produção, listar as suas interferências, mapear a discussão a respeito do conceito de hinterlands e apresentar metodologias para sua delimitação. O modelo proposto será aplicado a todos os portos que participaram do comércio exterior da soja em 2011, com destaque para o Píer 3, da Vale S/A. Como resultados esperados, deverão ser respondidos dois questionamentos fundamentais: 1) qual a importância do Píer 3, da Vale S/A, no que tange ao escoamento da safra agrícola brasileira, e na sua competitividade de custo logístico total? 2) O terminal será necessário no futuro? / The growth process of soybean production and the need for efficiency in its flow, coupled to a lower total logistics costs, demand the development of an operational plan that demarcates the areas of influence of the ports, the Hinterlands, and maintain market stability. However, the lowest total logistics costs for production flow are not respected in some scenarios due to restrictions of the multimodal transportation. Correspondingly, future projects to implement new routes for the production flow, bounded by investments in multimodal transport, installation of new ports and terminals cargo transshipment, are interfering in these areas of influence increasing business dynamics. This study aims to characterize the dynamics of the flow of production routes, list their interference, map the discussion about the concept of hinterlands and present methodologies for its delimitation. The proposed model will be applied to all ports participating in the foreign trade of soybeans in 2011, with emphasis on the VALE S/A Pier 3. The expected results should answer two fundamental questions: 1) what is the importance of VALE S/A Pier 3 regarding the distribution of the Brazilian harvest, and the competitiveness of total logistics costs? 2) The terminal will be needed in the future?

A imagem do \"vazio\" tem persistido em representar os sertões das capitanias do Norte. Trata-se de um vazio de construção histórica e historiográfica. Os estudos e textos de Euclides da Cunha, Capistrano de Abreu e Caio Prado Jr. contemplaram esse estereótipo amplamente divulgado e sedimentado no habitual sertão nordestino, este associado à seca, ao isolamento e à rusticidade do mundo urbano. Fluindo contra essas leituras, a presente tese se esforça em desmistificar os qualificativos de desvalor por desconstruir a ideia de vazio reconstruindo os processos de urbanização e a formação das paisagens dos sertões do Norte na época colonial. Atenta-se para a longa duração com o objetivo de interpretar as políticas da Coroa portuguesa e as atividades do cotidiano materializadas numa hierárquica rede de povoações estruturada por missões, capelas, freguesias, \"lugar de índios\", julgados, vilas e cidade. Põe luz nos atores, na rede de relações e nas hierarquias sociais verificando suas implicações na transformação da paisagem e na urbanização desses sertões. Como aporte teórico-metodológico, entrecruza-se texto (hermenêutica) e imagem (representação) para pensar con los ojos - segundo a poética acepção do historiador de arte argentino Damián Bayón - a fim de preencher as lacunas espaciais que forjaram o suposto \"silêncio\". Vale-se, ainda, da multidisciplinaridade para esclarecer a relação do homem com as zonas interiorizadas, sem esquecer dos programas de georreferenciamento que propiciaram a produção de mapas temáticos exemplares voltados a localizar as povoações no território e interpretar a razão de ser de sua posição geográfica no contexto social e econômico ao qual estavam inseridos. / The image of the \"emptiness\" has persisted in representing the sertões of the captaincies of the North. It is a void of historical and historiographic construction. The studies and texts of Euclides da Cunha, Capistrano de Abreu and Caio Prado Jr. contemplated this stereotype widely disseminated and sedimented in the usual \"sertão nordestino\" associated with the drought, isolation and rusticity of the urban world. Flowing against these readings, the present thesis seek to demystify the qualifiers of devaluation by deconstructing the idea of emptiness reconstructing the processes of urbanization and the formation of the landscapes of the backlands of \"sertões\" (hinterlands) colonial times. Attention is paid to the long duration with the objective of interpreting the policies of the Portuguese Crown and daily activities materialized in a hierarchical network of settlements structured by missions, chapels, parishes, \"lugares de índios\", \"julgados\", towns and cities. It sheds light on the actors, the network of relationships and social hierarchies, verifying their implications for the transformation of the landscape and the urbanization of these sertões. As a theoretical-methodological contribution, text (hermeneutics) and image (representation) are intertwined to \"pensar con los ojos\" (think with the eyes) - according to the poetic meaning of the Argentine art historian Damián Bayón - in order to fill the gaps that forged the supposed \"silence\" . It is also worth mentioning the multidisciplinarity to clarify the relationship between man and the interiorized zones, not forgetting the geo-referencing programs that led to the production of exemplary thematic maps aimed at locating the settlements in the territory and interpreting the rationale of their geographical position in the social and economic context to which they were inserted.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / Este trabalho procura compreender a formaÃÃo da elite colonial nos SertÃes de MombaÃa, capitania do Siarà grande, no sÃculo XVIII. Para tanto, busca-se analisar quais os meios que permitiram a constituiÃÃo desta elite colonial, como a forma das concessÃes de sesmarias, as justificativas apresentadas pelos requerentes, a natureza individual ou coletiva dos pedidos, a origem social dos sesmeiros, visando identificar quais os padrÃes por eles apresentados que justificavam a referida mercÃ. Especificamente sobre os SertÃes de MombaÃa, ribeira do BanabuiÃ, hoje SertÃo Central do CearÃ, os pedidos eram justificados em sua maioria pelos serviÃos prestados nas guerras justas contra os gentios e como justificativa econÃmica da ocupaÃÃo nas fazendas de criar. Em seguida procuro analisar a constituiÃÃo e desenvolvimento histÃrico das fazendas de criar e as articulaÃÃes familiares e econÃmicas que propiciaram a formaÃÃo desta elite proprietÃria de terras, gados e escravos. / This research intends to analyze the colonial elite process of formation in the Hinterlands of MombaÃa, situated in the Captaincy of Siarà Grande, along the XVIIIth century. For this purpose, I have looked at the means that enabled the establishment of these colonial elite, such as, the grant allotments procedures, the justifications provided by its applicants, the individual or collective nature of the requests, and the social background of those who received allotments. Those aspects herein examined served to identify the patterns which were presented by the recipients to justify such endowment. Specifically about the Hinterlands of MombaÃa, located on the banks of the river Banabuià in the Hinterlands Central CearÃ, the applications were mostly justified for the military services rendered in the so-called fair-wars (Guerras Justas) against the indigenous nations and also as economic justification for the inlands occupations through the opening up cattle ranches. Then, I seek to analyze the configuration and the historical development of those cattle ranches, the family agreements and the economical joints that favored the formation of these local colonial elite whose economic strength was based on the ownership of lands, cattle and slaves.

It focuses the so called Triangulo Mineiro, seeking for taking the fights of representation and the actions of the subjects at schools at a dialogue with other agents and social institutions involved on the movement of the production of the school model from 1906 to 1920. At the process of the republican civilizator project, the constitution of the school model becomes a strategy of state intervention to civilize the popular classes and the hinterland regions of the state, like the Minas Triangle, represented as an antithesis of the wished modernity and target of government actions to conquer the retrograde and rude spaces to synchronize the different civilizatory rhythms. Having the Sao Paulo school model as a reference, which was based on the modern pedagogy principles, the reformers from Minas Gerais mobilized a group of mechanisms with the intention to implement new educational and social practices: the Model Normal School, the Scholar Group, the Teaching Technical Inspection and the Intuitive Method. We have observed that the reformers from Minas Gerais were based on Sao Paulo experience but they accomplished an acclimatization of the pedagogical models according to the representation they made of their own reality ad of the possibilities of efficiency of this model. The analysis also made evident that the process of constitution of the school model at the Minas Triangle did not occur on a peaceful way it was marked by tensions, conflicts and resistance of the different subjects according to their individual expectations and/or the groups they belonged to. The incursion on the empirical corpus was held on a way to apprehend the fights of representations. In a way, we have analyzed the voices of the official implementation of the school model by examining mainly the reports of inspection, direction of the scholar groups and the secretary of interior. On the other hand, we have looked for the apprehension of the voices of resistance, the contradictions, the dissensions by examining mailing, newspaper articles, schools report cards. In order to accomplish this, we have been into the field of Cultural History of school, which marks new criteria of treatment of files and tries to rehistoricize school, un-naturalize it as an object of investigation, conceiving it as a result of practices / Esta pesquisa analisa o processo de constituição do modelo escolar em Minas Gerais engendrado com a Reforma educacional de 1906. Focaliza o Triângulo Mineiro buscando apreender as lutas de representações e as ações dos sujeitos escolares na interlocução com outros agentes e instituições sociais envolvidas no movimento de produção do modelo escolar no período de 1906 a 1920. No âmbito do projeto civilizador republicano, a constituição do modelo escolar configura-se como estratégia de intervenção estatal para civilizar as classes populares e as regiões sertanejas do estado, como o Triângulo Mineiro, representadas como antítese da modernidade desejada e alvo da ação governamental que se encarregava de conquistar os espaços atrasados e incultos para sincronizar os diferentes ritmos civilizatórios. Tendo como referência o modelo escolar paulista, que alicerçava-se nos preceitos da pedagogia moderna , os reformadores mineiros mobilizaram um conjunto de dispositivos com o intuito de instaurar novas práticas educativas e sociais: A Escola Normal Modelo, O Grupo Escolar, A Inspeção Técnica do Ensino e o Método Intuitivo. Observou-se que os reformadores mineiros se basearam na experiência paulista, mas realizaram uma aclimação dos modelos pedagógicos de acordo com a representação que faziam da realidade em que estavam inseridos e das possibilidades de eficácia deste modelo. A análise evidenciou também que o processo de constituição do modelo escolar no Triângulo Mineiro não ocorreu de forma pacífica, mas foi marcado por tensões, os conflitos e resistências dos diferentes sujeitos de acordo com suas expectativas individuais e/ou dos grupos a que pertenciam. A incursão no corpus empírico realizou-se de maneira a apreender as lutas de representações. De um lado buscou-se analisar as vozes da implementação oficial do modelo escolar examinando principalmente os relatórios de inspeção, direção dos grupos escolares e do secretário do interior. De outro lado, buscou-se apreender as vozes das resistências, das contradições, das dissensões examinando correspondências, artigos de jornais, boletins escolares. Para tanto, inscreveu-se no campo da História Cultural da escola que sinaliza novos critérios de tratamento do arquivo e busca rehistoricizar a escola, desnaturalizá-la enquanto objeto de investigação, concebendo-a como um produto de práticas

In recent years, we have seen that global, national, and local governments have put sustainability goals on their agendas. Thus, at different levels and in different sectors, efforts are underway to promote a ‘green shift’, including the energy sector. As a result, landscapes of renewable energy sources are emerging in areas that have sufficient “empty landscapes” (LABLAB, 2023) – namely sparsely populated spaces that lie outside the administrative boundaries of cities. However, the discipline of spatial planning rarely discusses changing landscapes in the hinterlands and the resulting consequences for embedded communities. The city as an energy consumer is treated in isolation from its counterpart, the hinterland as an energy producer. In this context, it is unclear what interrelationships are present between the formation of ‘new energy landscapes’ (Pasqualetti and Stremke, 2018; LABLAB, 2023), the urban ‘hinterland’ (Brenner, 2016; Westlund, 2018; Brenner and Katsikis, 2020), and the realities of embedded communities there.The geographies in the Swedish province of Jämtland belonging to the territory of the indigenous Southern Sápmi offer a suitable basis for a study that could fill this research gap. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to raise awareness of potentially conflicting interests between cities - striving to become more ‘sustainable’ - and the emergence of ‘new energy landscapes’ in the ‘hinterlands’ by including two different perspectives: an urban economic lens on the hinterland and a non-urban lens taken from the lived everyday lives of Sápmi communities embedded in new energy landscapes. This thesis poses three research questions to which it aims to find answers by using qualitative semi-structured, problem-centred interviews. It thus follows an interpretative abductive research approach. Through the analysis of the empirical data, the thesis shows that a joint discussion of the two discourses (‘hinterland’ and ‘new energy landscapes’) can help to gain a new understanding of urbanisation processes by including the perspective of non-urban communities in questions of urban sustainability. Furthermore, the thesis serves as an eye-opener for spatial planners to incorporate indigenous knowledge and lived experiences into the field of urban studies.
