Busca-se, com base nesses elementos, analisar e compreender a reprodução dessa diferenciação socioespacial. Procura-se compreender a produção desigual do espaço urbano de Mossoró e a própria construção dessa desigualdade, para, então, investigar quais áreas na cidade estão sendo valorizadas (sob vários aspectos) e quais são os agentes que estão “orquestrando” esse processo. É também nossa preocupação avaliar como a diferenciação socioespacial ocorre e se é reproduzida também por meio das práticas espaciais. Percebe-se que a diferenciação socioespacial em Mossoró se revela em seu espaço urbano por processos que foram se mantendo ao longo do tempo e por fatores de âmbito local, nacional ou até global, que se combinaram ao preexistente. Conclui-se, assim, que o processo de produção do espaço urbano de Mossoró dá-se marcado pela diferenciação socioespacial, e que esse processo caracteriza-se por uma combinação de mudanças e permanências. / This thesis deals with the issue of socio-spatial differentiation in the city of Mossoro-RN, the second largest city of Rio Grande do Norte State. It was studied and analyzed the transformation of the urban area engendered by the new equipment designed to leisure practice and consumption, culture, tourism and entertainment, as well as, the selective real estate valuation. The analysis and understandings of reproduction of socio-spatial differentiation was based in these aspects. It was tried to understand the uneven production of urban space of Mossoro and the actual construction of this inequality, to then investigate which areas in the city would be appreciating (in many ways) and who are the agents that were "orchestrating" the process. It was also our concern assess how socio-spatial differentiation occurs and is also reproduced by means of socio-spatial practices. It is noticed that the socio-spatial differentiation in Mossoro is revealed in its urban space, in processes that have remained over time, and local, national or global level factors to combine the existing. Therefore, in conclusion, the process of urban space production in Mossoro was marked by socio-spatial differentiation, and this process was characterized by a combination of changes and stays.

First, we bring readings of the field of geography of race relations in Brazilian society, aimed at urban space, focusing on those processes. Then we deal with the construction of a racial cartography and methodological research questions. We discuss several studies about social segregation in Goiânia and elaborate several maps of "mostly white spaces" and "spaces of black majority", associated with the identification of color or race and social class levels spread across neighborhoods in the city. Finally, we conclude that the processes in question have a close correlation with the difference and racial inequality in the city, a phenomenon that happens in other metropolises. / O presente trabalho consiste em uma abordagem geográfica e uma representação cartográfica dos processos de segregação e a diferenciação socioespacial combinados com a dimensão racial em Goiânia, com base nos dados de cor/raça e renda do Censo Demográfico (IBGE, 2010). Em primeiro lugar, trazemos leituras do campo da Geografia das relações raciais na sociedade brasileira, voltadas para o espaço urbano, com foco nos referidos processos. Em seguida, tratamos da construção de uma cartografia racial e das questões metodológicas da pesquisa. Discutimos vários estudos realizados acerca da segregação social na capital goiana e elaboramos vários mapas de “espaços de maioria branca” e “espaços de maioria negra”, associados com a identificação de cor ou raça e os níveis de classe, distribuídos por bairros do município. Por fim concluímos que os processos em pauta têm uma estreita correlação com a diferença e a desigualdade racial na cidade, fenômeno que acontece em outras metrópoles.

Planification urbaine, localisation résidentielle et comportements de mobilité à Dakar, Sénégal / Urban planning, residential location and mobility patterns in Dakar, Senegal

Ndiaye, Ibrahima 05 December 2012 (has links)
L'étude des comportements de mobilité est une thématique très peu investie dans les villes d'Afrique subsaharienne. Ces villes sont caractérisées par une croissance urbaine fulgurante avec comme corollaire un étalement spatial, des densités démographiques très élevées et une crise du secteur des transports dominé par les opérateurs artisanaux. Ces dynamiques, qui sont à l'origine de déséquilibres spatiaux, font que l'accès aux aménités urbaines devient très difficile pour les catégories de population les plus pauvres. A Dakar, les options d'aménagement ségrégationnistes prises par les autorités coloniales, l'inefficacité des instruments classiques de planification urbaine ainsi que la dérégulation du marché du foncier et de l'immobilier ont été à la base d'une dynamique de différenciation socio-spatiale. Ce travail de recherche, en faisant usage des méthodes d'analyse multidimensionnelle (Analyse en Composante Principale et Classification Ascendante Hiérarchique) et en se basant sur des enquêtes « ménages-déplacements » originales, se donne pour objectif d'analyser la dynamique ségrégative à Dakar et d'éclairer les liens existants entre la localisation résidentielle des ménages et les comportements de mobilité des individus dans un contexte urbain très changeant / The study of mobility behavior has not been well investigated in Sub-Saharan cities. These cities are characterized by rapid urban growth resulting in sprawl space, very high population densities and a crisis in transport sector which is dominated by craft operators. These dynamics, which are at the origin of spatial imbalances mean that access to urban amenities becomes very difficult for the poorest categories of the population. In Dakar, segregationist territorial management options taken in the past by colonial authorities, the ineffectiveness of traditional instruments of urban planning as well as disregulation of land market and real estate, have created a dynamic socio-spatial differentiation. This research project, by using multivariate analysis methods (Principal Component Analysis and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis) is based on original household travel surveys. Our objective is to analyze the dynamics of socio-spatial segregation in Dakar and illuminate the links between residential location and household mobility behavior in a changeable urban context

Do lugar às contradições espaciais: conflitos e estratégias a partir da Operação Urbana, Butantã-Vila Sônia, São Paulo / From place to spatial contradiction: conflicts and strategies of Operação Urbana, Butantã-Vila Sônia, in Sao Paulo

Fioravanti, Livia Maschio 29 November 2013 (has links)
O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é a compreensão do conflito entre as estratégias e os interesses que permearam a elaboração da Operação Urbana Butantã - Vila Sônia, na região oeste da metrópole de São Paulo, e as reivindicações e modos de apropriação dos grupos de moradores da área por ela abrangida. Parte-se da hipótese de que a diferenciação socioespacial, uma tendência decorrente da Operação Urbana independentemente de sua implantação, intensifica-se pelo conflito em torno dos antagônicos usos do lugar e pelas diferentes demandas e estratégias de luta que grupos de moradores de poderes aquisitivos distintos entre si apresentam diante das intervenções urbanísticas previstas pelos projetos de requalificação urbana. Estudamos a diferenciação socioespacial a partir de quatro lugares, três deles no perímetro da Operação Urbana. O estudo da Operação Urbana considerando esses lugares no Butantã nos permitiu apreender estratégias de classe em disputa pelo espaço, apontando a contradição entre uso e troca na produção do espaço urbano capitalista. Desvelamos de que modo o acesso à riqueza e à propriedade impõe limites à apropriação do espaço e resulta em necessidades e desejos diferenciados, seja em relação às intervenções então previstas pela Operação Urbana seja em relação à própria vida na cidade. / The main objective of this research is to understand the conflict between strategies and interest which underpinned Butanta-Vila Sonia urban operation located in the western zone of the metropolis of Sao Paulo as well as the residents claims and appropriation ways. The initial hypothesis states spatial differentiation a tendency which arises from urban operation regardless of its implementation is intensified by the conflict around the antagonic uses of place and by the different requests and confrontation strategies the residents of different classes use to face the interventions included in the urban requalification project. Sociospatial differentiation has been analyzed in four places three of them inside the urban operation perimeter. Studying the urban operation through these locations in Butanta allowed the grasping of class strategies when it comes to space dispute which demonstrated the contradiction between capitalist spatial production use and exchange. This work was able to reveal the fact that access to wealth and properties restrains spatial appropriation and results in different necessities and wishes, either when it comes to urban project interventions or life itself in the city.

Studies in the Transformation of Post-Soviet Cities : Case Studies from Kazakhstan

Gentile, Michael January 2004 (has links)
<p>Since the demise of central planning, post-Soviet cities have found themselves operating in a radically different economic climate. Contrary to the situation during the Soviet époque, market relations and the urban economy's adjustment thereto constitute the reality which urbanites face in their daily lives. For the vast majority, this reality has been harsh. Even so, market agency in post-Soviet cities is circumscribed by a physical infrastructure composed to foster its rejection, leading to an inevitable tension between Soviet legacy and the reality of the market economy. An overarching task of this dissertation is to contribute to a greater understanding of the new urban form which is emerging out of this tension. For this purpose, eight papers, using case studies from urban Kazakhstan, are brought together in order to shed light on recent urban developments in the former Soviet Union.Two broad themes are subject to particular attention: urbanisation and regional migration processes, and urban socio-spatial differentiation. Urbanisation is studied through the comparative analysis of census data from 1989 and 1999, from which a "closed city effect" pattern emerges. Sovietand post-Soviet era urban-bounf migrant characteristics are compared using survey data (N=3,136) collected by the author, demonstrating the existence of a significant ethnic transition within the migrant flow. Socio-spatial differentiation patterns are mapped and analysed for three Kazakh military-industrial case study cities (Ust'-Kamenogorsk, Leninogorsk and Zyryanovsk), revealing significant spatial disparities which are principally explainable in light of the workings of the Soviet economy, and its built-in priority system. Market forces tend to accentuate them.</p>

Migrace, cizinci a město: sociálně-prostorová diferenciace a lokální sociální prostředí / Migration, foreigners and the city: socio-spatial differentiation and local social environment

Přidalová, Ivana January 2017 (has links)
1 Abstract Migration has been an inherent part of population development, and due to its role in shaping settlement system and societal changes also one of the key research interests of social geography. Due to the political regime and the limited movement across state borders, attention was predominantly given to internal migration in Czechia in the second half of the 20th century. Conversely, international migration has only been coming to the fore of academic debate since the 1990s. Despite the broad diversity of aspects of international migration in Czechia and the fact that the city has traditionally been the environment associated with the majority of immigrant population, little consideration has been given to the deeper understanding of the relationship between international migration, the presence of foreign citizens and the urban environment, especially foreigners' influence on socio-spatial differentiation and on social environment of particular urban locales. Czechia is a specific case: a country which was isolated from international migration for four decades became one of the main immigration countries in the post-socialist Central Europe after 1989. It represents a unique occasion to investigate the connection between international migration and the city in a previously unexplored environment...

[pt] A presente tese propõe uma abordagem geográfica da segurança pública, tema muitíssimo relevante tanto no cotidiano de muitos moradores das regiões metropolitanas como no debate político realizado em todo o país. Foram analisadas as potencialidades e limitações da construção de uma governança da segurança pública que focalize a Baixada Fluminense, importante fração da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ), considerando o funcionamento dos Conselhos Comunitários de Segurança (CCS) e as ações policiais na região. Os procedimentos e técnicas empregados para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa doutoral compreenderam grosso modo levantamentos bibliográfico e documental, além da produção de farto material empírico. Foram analisadas 66 atas de reuniões dos CCS da Baixada Fluminense, no período compreendido entre julho de 2016 e junho de 2019; feitas mais de 15 entrevistas com policiais, membros permanentes dos mencionados conselhos, um prefeito e um secretário municipal de segurança; acompanhadas in situ 15 reuniões dos CCS, entre agosto de 2019 e julho de 2021; realizados dois extensos trabalhos de campo: o primeiro nas imediações do Arco Metropolitano (em Nova Iguaçu) e o outro no Complexo do Roseiral (em Belford Roxo). Além disso, foram produzidos 11 mapas e 3 séries temporais sobre a incidência da letalidade violenta e dos roubos de rua e roubos de carga na região estudada, importantes indicadores estratégicos para o Instituto de Segurança Pública do Rio de Janeiro (ISP). Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que os CCS da Baixada Fluminense podem se tornar um vetor de construção de uma governança da segurança pública, desde que a parceria seja adotada como nível preferencial de abertura à participação popular nesses espaços e as diferenciações sócio-espaciais sejam consideradas quando da elaboração de políticas públicas orientadas à redução da incidência criminal e também da sensação de insegurança. / [en] This thesis proposes a geographical approach to public security, a very relevant topic both in the daily lives of many residents of metropolitan areas and in the political debate held throughout the country. The potentialities and limitations of building a public security governance that focus on the Baixada Fluminense, an important part of the Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ), were analyzed, considering the functioning of the Conselhos Comunitários de Segurança (CCS) and police actions in the region. The procedures and techniques employed for the development of doctoral research broadly comprised bibliographical and documental surveys, in addition to the production of abundant empirical material. 66 minutes of meetings of the CCS of Baixada Fluminense were analyzed, in the period between July 2016 and June 2019; more than 15 interviews were conducted with police officers, permanent members of the aforementioned councils, a mayor and a municipal security secretary; 15 CCS meetings were monitored in situ, between August 2019 and July 2021; two extensive fieldworks were carried out: the first in the vicinity of the Arco Metropolitano (in Nova Iguaçu) and the other in Complexo do Roseiral (in Belford Roxo). In addition, 11 maps and 3 time series were produced on the incidence of violent lethality and street robberies and cargo thefts in the region studied, important strategic indicators for the Instituto de Segurança Pública do Rio de Janeiro (ISP). The research results show that CCS in Baixada Fluminense can become a vector for building public security governance, as long as the partnership is adopted as a preferred level of openness to popular participation in these spaces and socio-spatial differences are considered when the elaboration of public policies aimed at reducing the incidence of crime and also the feeling of insecurity.

Lomé au-delà de Lomé : étalement urbain et territoires dans une capitale d'Afrique sud-saharienne / Lomé beyond Lomé : urban sprawl and territories in a metropolis in south Saharan Africa

Biakouye, Kodjo Awussu 17 November 2014 (has links)
Depuis plus de trois décennies, l’urbanisation de l’Afrique en général et de l’Afrique noire en particulier, s’est fortement accélérée. L’explosion démographique dans les villes dont Lomé la capitale togolaise, a considérablement accru les surfaces urbaines entraînant du coup, des conséquences tant sur les conditions de vie des citadins que sur l’organisation et la gestion de l’espace urbain dans son ensemble. En effet, si la métropolisation en cours dans plusieurs pays d’Afrique sud-saharienne est à l’origine de nombreuses et rapides mutations, il faut dire qu’elle pose aussi et de plus en plus, un réel problème de prise en charge efficiente des espaces métropolitains qui au demeurant, sont devenus plus variés en raison d’un étalement territorial non maîtrisé dans la plupart des cas. Ainsi, plus d’un demi-siècle après les indépendances, presque toutes les grandes métropoles présentent encore des paysages urbains très contrastés. Comment et dans quelles conditions se réalise le processus d’extension de Lomé? Quelles sont les mutations qui en découlent, particulièrement dans ses périphéries. Quels sont les mécanismes de gestion et gouvernance de la ville et leurs impacts aussi bien sur le territoire métropolitain que sur la vie des populations? Ce sont les principales questions traitées dans cette thèse. À travers une approche à la fois typologique et territoriale, la thèse aborde ainsi la problématique de l’étalement urbain et analyse plus précisément les formes et les contenus des extensions périphériques ainsi que les diverses dynamiques notamment gestionnaires qui en découlent en Afrique de l’ouest à travers le cas Lomé au Togo. Aussi, au terme des observations et analyses, il ressort que le territoire métropolitain de Lomé constitué sur plus d’un siècle sous l’effet conjugué d’un faisceau de facteurs de tous ordres, est d’une part fragmenté tant dans sa structure, que dans son administration, et d’autre part, différencié et contrasté dans sa gestion; sa gouvernance apparait aujourd’hui comme le défi le plus important auquel restent confrontées les premières autorités de l’agglomération et du pays. / For over three decades, urbanization in Africa in general and in Sub Saharan Africa in particular, has been strongly accelerated. The population explosion in cities like the Togolese capital Lomé has considerably increased the urban areas causing at the same time, impact on both the life of city dwellers and on the organization and the management of urban space as a whole. Indeed, if the metropolization that is underway in several countries in Sub-Saharan Africa is the source of numerous and rapid changes, it more and more raises also actual problem of taking over or charge of metropolitan areas which incidentally have become more varied because of in most cases, uncontrolled territorial spreading. Thus, more than half a century after independence, almost all major cities still having very contrasting urban landscapes. How and under what conditions the extension process of Lomé is going on? What are the resulting changes, particularly in its outskirts? What are the mechanisms for management and governance of the city and its impact on both the space and on people's life? These are the main questions on which the thesis has focused. Therefore through an approach that is both typological and territorial, the thesis discusses in general, the problem of urban sprawl and specifically analyzes the forms and content of the peripheral extensions and various dynamics that are arising including administrative one in West Africa through Lomé’s case, in Togo.So, in the term of the observations and analyses, it appears that the metropolitan territory of Lomé established over more than a century under the combined effect of a beam of factors of all kinds, is on one hand under fragmentation as much in its structure, as in its administration, and on the other hand, differentiated and contrasted in its management; its governance appears today as the most important challenge in which remain confronted the authorities of the metropolis and those of the country.
