This master thesis aims to investigate from oral sources (interviews), where and by whom the country music social areas have been frequented as well as the experiences and way of life of these people who now live in the cities. So, it has the intention to survey the current songwritings taken as "hillbillies", especially those written people who lived in the countryside and now live in Uberlândia. We intend to investigate, how the practitioners of country music in the city see music nowadays, taking into account songs commercialization and what they have been "imposing" regarding the modernization of it. The investigation understand country music as a social practice. So, it is of great importance these hillbillies experiences of life to understand the continuities and / or breakages that country music has undergone over the past few years. The research starts from the idea of how "social practices," which carry meanings, feelings and values for people who practice it in the city, give shape and meaning to country music today. / A presente dissertação pretende investigar a partir de fontes orais (entrevistas), onde e por quem os espaços de sociabilidade da música caipira vem sendo frequentados, bem como as experiências de vida e modo de vida dessas pessoas que hoje moram nas cidades. Assim, tem como pretensão fazer um levantamento das composições atuais tidas como caipiras , principalmente aquelas compostas por esses praticantes na cidade de Uberlândia. Pretende-se investigar, como os praticantes da música caipira na cidade veem a música nos dias de hoje, levando em conta à sua comercialização e o que ela vem impondo referente à modernização da música. A investigação parte da ideia de música caipira como uma pratica social. Por conseguinte, é de importância relevante a experiência de vida desses indivíduos para entender as continuidades e/ou rupturas que a música caipira sofreu no decorrer dos últimos anos. A investigação parte da ideia de como práticas sociais , a qual carrega consigo significados, sentimentos e valores para as pessoas que as praticam na cidade, dão formato e significado à música caipira hoje. / Mestre em História

<p dir="ltr">The distribution of people and infrastructure in North American cities is not random, nor is it equitable. Minoritized communities often have less access to trees and forests and to the benefits that they provide. This pattern has developed over centuries. North American cities were built on indigenous land, and the location of rivers, wetlands, forests, and prairies influenced where houses were built, factories erected, parks sited, and where natural areas were preserved. As people moved to cities, wealthier individuals could afford to buy homes in places that they found more desirable. These places often were near parks or lakes and often had more trees. Less wealthy people could only afford homes in places that had less green infrastructure and places that were nearer to environmental harms like polluting industries. Unfortunately, in the United States, wealth is associated with race, meaning that from an early time its cities were segregated. As cities expanded and migration from the Jim Crow South and immigration from Eastern Europe increased, these wealthier, whiter communities restricted non-white people from moving into them with racist covenants and through redlining, deepening segregation. In this dissertation, I explored how this ecological and social history affected the ecology of a metropolitan region’s forests, and how that related to who gets to experience them. I also showed how the associations between socio-demographic variables and tree canopy varied across an urban to exurban region. Finally, I identified barriers to requesting and planting trees that residents experience and strategies that may help governments and strategies that may help overcome them. I found that communities of color had less access to forests that have a higher capacity to provide ecosystem services; that while segregation existed in urban, suburban, and exurban communities, canopy inequity did not; and that managing existing trees and working with neighborhood associations is the best way to encourage planting and stewardship of trees that can reduce tree equity.</p><p><br></p>

Fler personer än någonsin flyttar in till städer världen runt och efterfrågan på nyakommersiella byggnader och bostadsfastigheter beräknas fördubblas till år 2050. Det innebäratt bostadsbyggandet ställs på sin spets. Det är viktigt att bygga i den takt som speglas av denökande befolkningsökningen men på ett så hållbart sätt som möjligt. Denna uppsats inriktarsig mot vad social hållbarhet innebär, och kan bidra med inom stadsbyggnad ochsamhällsplanering samt hur den kan gestalta sig och appliceras till bostadsfastigheter.Hur är våra samhällsproblem länkade till social hållbarhet? Är det att kasta pengarna i sjön,att investera i socioekonomiskt utsatta områden? Hur kan vi vända en samhällsutveckling därklyftorna och segregationen växer? Varför kan det bli katastrofala följder av att försummaden sociala hållbarheten? Det här är några frågor som berörs men ämnet är flyktigt ochkomplicerat varvid det krävs att samhället lägger akademiska resurser kontinuerligt. Inomsamhällsbyggnad finns viljan och ambitionerna för att ställa om ekologiskt hållbart. Det somnu behövs är att detta kombineras med ett “know how” och att aktörerna inom branschenutvecklar en förståelse för alla de viktiga sociala mekanismerna som bör ingå i ett suntsamhällsklimat. Det sociala kan måhända komma med en kostnad men sett i det storaperspektivet borde det snarare ses som en investering.Genom den enkätstudie som genomförts i denna utredande uppsats kan det utrönas en slutsatssom inte från början förväntades. Denna anknyter till litteraturstudien där det framkom frånflera källor att behov av medborgardialoger föreligger. Det engagemang som många i enkätenvisade, bekräftade att åsikter och viljan att påverka finns där och att det bara handlar om attfinna sätt att ta tillvara på dem. Sammantaget finns det en mångfald av lösningar som kantillämpas i, på och runt bostadsfastigheter för att utveckla mer attraktiva grannskap. Exempelpå detta kan vara implementeringen av takterrasser, träningsytor och vegetation. Verktygen iform av kunskap, erfarenhet och plattformar finns. Det handlar nu vidare om att utveckla ochkoordinera dessa på bästa och mest effektiva sätt. / It is estimated that the demand for new commercial and residential buildings will double,internationally, by the year 2050 based on population growths and urbanisation. This pushesthe construction sector to its limits. It’s important to build at a pace that matches theincreasing population in the most sustainable manner possible. This report is written with thefundamental task of explaining what social sustainability is within societal planning andbuilding as well as how these methods can be applied to residential buildings.How are our societal problems linked to social sustainability? How should investments inlower-income areas be spent? How can developments be made where segregation andeconomic inequality gaps are growing larger? What catastrophic consequences could becomea result of abandoning social sustainability policies? These are some of the questions that thisuniversity essay aims to tackle but the subject matter is complex and requires continualacademic resources. The organisations behind structural and societal planning have the willand ambition in order to adapt to environmental sustainability. What’s needed now is a deeperunderstanding from concerned actors to improve and consolidate all the important socialmechanisms that are needed to create a harmonic and social climate. Improving socialconditions on a societal or national level may come with a cost but in the greater picture, thisshould be seen as a vital investment.With the use of a survey, a conclusion could be ascertained complimented by the literarystudy, expressing the importance of communication among citizens and organisations. Asubstantial number of people in the survey showed engagement and proved that the will isthere in order to make a change but there need to be ways to make these changes a reality.There's a multitude of solutions that can be applied in and around residential buildings togenerate more attractive neighbourhoods. Some examples of this can be the application ofrooftop terraces, exercising areas and vegetation. The required data banks and platforms forknowledge and experience exist. All that needs to be done now is to coordinate theseresources in the most efficient and effective way possible.
