Orientador: Bernardo Mançano Fernandes / Banca: Antonio Thomaz Júnior / Banca: Ariovaldo Umbelino de Oliveira / Resumo: Esta dissertação tem como tema central o estudo das multidimensionalidades do território dos dezenove assentamentos rurais do município de Teodoro Sampaio. O estudo das multidimensionalidades dos assentamentos é conduzido a partir da análise dos dados secundários dos livros do RIST - Relatório de Impactos Socioterritoriais e do CPDA - Programa de Pós-Graduação de Ciências Sociais em Desenvolvimento, Agricultura e Sociedade da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro. Tomamos como ponto de partida o estudo da luta pela terra e do desenvolvimento rural na região do Pontal do Paranapanema, com objetivo de entender quais foram os impactos socioterritoriais causados com a implantação dos assentamentos. Buscamos entender as questões teórico-metodológicas da pesquisa geográfica em assentamentos rurais, verificando as principais teorias e metodologias utilizadas nas pesquisas desenvolvidas no Brasil. Estudamos a importância do espaço, do território, dos processos e das multidimensionalidades que envolvem os territórios dos assentamentos...

The study of multiple dimensions of the settlements is led from the data analysis side of the books of Ristar - Report on Impacts Socioterritoriais and the CPDA - the Postgraduate Program of Social Sciences in Development, Agriculture and Rural Society, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro . We take as a starting point for the study of the struggle for land and rural development in the region of Pontal do Paranapanema, in order to understand what the impacts were caused socioterritoriais with the deployment of settlements. We seek to understand the theoretical and methodological issues of geographical research on rural settlements, noting the main theories and methodologies used in research activities in Brazil. We studied the importance of space, the territory, procedures and multidimensional involving the territories of the... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

This thesis provides a study of the growth and decline of two small Pisidian urban settlements, Sia and Ariassos, with an especial focus on the relationship, both social and economic, between town and country. The thesis addresses the subject primarily chronologically, although chapter two is diachronic. The first chapter provides an historical and geographical introduction to the subject. The complexities of the ethnic and cultural environment in which the two cities were founded are discussed along with the history of early settlement in the region. The succeeding chapters present, discuss and analyse the archaeological evidence for the growth, transformation and, ultimately, the decline of the settlements. The central argument of the thesis is that the settlements can only be understood if seen both within their local physical and social environment and their larger political environment. The settlements existed as part of a complex urban and rural network. The effects of the changes of the third century AD, the arrival of Christianity, tax reforms and social unrest are all explored. The thesis concludes that the image of uniformity and continuity in this mountainous region can be highly deceptive. During the period in which the Pisidian urban landscape grew, flourished and then disintegrated, the area was subject to an enormous variety of changes, social, political and economic, all of which have to be taken into account when attempting to understand the complexity of the process of urban change.

The neighbourhood unit concept was developed by Clarence Perry in 1929, and the formula has since been used by planners in the designing of residential communities in many parts of the world. The concept was based on existing examples of successful planning and on sociological writings and precepts; and it became a new point of contact for the sociologist and the planner. After the last war the planners set to work with increased vigour, and model neighbourhoods were created in many countries. At the same time the concept began to be seriously criticised, and by 1950 it had been virtually discarded by the theorists - although new neighbourhoods were still being designed in accordance with the supposedly outmoded concept by practising planners. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the usefulness of the concept in relation to present-day needs and to analyse its components - all the time keeping in focus contemporary practice in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. The neighbourhood is examined in both its sociological and practical aspects, and the historical developments which contributed to the concept are traced. The sociological theme weaves together the people in their roles as neighbours and as members of the family life-cycle; and relates them to their homes and to the local facilities which they require for the attainment of good living, in both a psychological and a physical sense. The desirability of homogenous sociological units is discussed, and the problem of segregation is untangled from its implied association with the concept. The practical aspects are concerned with the provision of schools, churches, shops, open space and recreational needs and local employment possibilities. The neighbourhood is then related as a geographic unit to the greater urban mass, and its pattern analysed into its component parts. In the final synthesis this thesis is seen to be a defence of the concept; and the author believes that the neighbourhood unit concept has been wrongly condemned and that it is as valid today as it ever was. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate
