What are the essential characteristics that constitute historic American neighbor- hoods? Do current regulations promote developments that exhibit these essential characteristics? In this thesis I analyze two historic neighborhoods in an effort to un- cover their architectonic principles. By identifying the key components that comprise these places, we can critically analyze whether regulations, such as Historic Preserva- tion Ordinances and the SmartCode, are adequately designed to govern development practices of residential neighborhoods.

O crescimento das cidades têm se tornado uma das grandes preocupações da sociedade moderna. As cidades crescem desordenadamente e com isso os problemas relativos a esta realidade avançam. Por isso, o planejamento urbano deve receber acentuada preocupação nas agendas municipais, nas esferas acadêmicas e governamentais. Neste trabalho discute-se a maneira como se deu a ocupação do solo no município de Pato Branco na dimensão urbana procurando obter, de forma breve, a história do início da colonização. Aborda também a ocupação da estrutura urbana, utilizando dados do IPPUPB - Departamento de Informação Pesquisa e Planejamento Urbano de Pato Branco e promove um paralelo com a Lei Federal no 10.257/2001 que criou o Estatuto da Cidade, com a lei municipal no 28/2008 que criou o Plano Diretor do município de Pato Branco e com a lei no 46/2011 sobre uso e ocupação do solo. Este trabalho trata da importância do planejamento das cidades, ou seja, dos planejamentos urbanos sob o ponto de vista da sustentabilidade. E fundamentalmente estuda três loteamentos do município de Pato Branco - Picollo, Cidade Campo III, Wurzius - utilizando indicadores de sustentabilidade a fim de aferir dimensões de qualidade e de atendimento das legislações pertinentes, especificamente após o Plano Diretor Municipal de 2008. / The growth of cities has become a major concern of modern society. Cities have grown and with it the problems of this reality have advanced. Therefore urban planning should receive strong concern in municipal diaries, academic and government spheres. The aim of this paper is to discuss the way the land occupation in Pato Branco had happened in urban dimension in order to get in a short way the history of the beginning of colonization. Also to discuss the urban structure occupation, using data from IPPUPB - Information, Research and Urban Planning Department of Pato Branco. Drawing a parallel between the federal law 10.257 about City Statute and the municipal law 28 that created the Pato Branco Master Plan and also the complementary law 46 about use and land occupation. This paper deals the city planning importance, the urban planning from the point of view of sustainability. And fundamentally studying three allotments of Pato Branco city - Piccolo, Cidade Campo III - Wurzius - using sustainability indicators in order to measure dimensions of quality and service of the relevant legislation, specifically after the Master Plan 2008.

Les algorithmes utilisés en design géométrique permettent de construire des courbes paramétrées dans l'espace des polynômes. Ces algorithmes se transcrivent élégamment et simplement grâce à l'outil des floraisons (formes à pôles). L'intérêt des floraisons se manifeste également dans la possibilité qu'elles offrent de généraliser les algorithmes de design pour générer des courbes paramétrées dans les espaces de Chebyshev. Nous utilisons les floraisons dans le cadre des processus de subdivision et nous montrons comment cet outil s'adapte aussi bien aux processus stationnaires, qui permettent d'obtenir des splines polynomiales, qu'aux processus non stationnaires qui aboutissent aux splines de Chebyshev. Enfin cette "modélisation algorithmique" des processus de subdivision par les floraisons rend possible la création d'algorithmes permettant d'engendrer des splines constitués de morceaux en provenances de plusieurs espaces fonctionnels de types différents. / Geometric design algorithms are well suited to derive polynomial or piecewise polynomial parametric curves. These algorithms can be nicely converted to blossoms. Furthermore thanks to blossoms we also can generalize some design algorithms in order to derive parametric curves in Chebyshevian spaces.Blossoms quite naturally lead to subdivision schemes. They can be used to derive parametric polynomial splines. In the non-stationary case they they also can derive polynomial splines, and Chebyshevian splines (ie splines in various Chebyshevian spaces) as well. Finally we use blossoms as "algorithmic modeling" subdivision schemes in order to derive algorithms for splines whose pieces are in different Chebyshevian spaces.

Orientador: Norberto Morales / Banca: Cenira Lupinaci / Banca: Mario Lincoln de Carlo Etchebehere / Resumo: A região de Cássia, no sudoeste do estado de Minas Gerais, assim como a maior parte do sudeste brasileiro encontra-se fortemente afetada por processos intensos de denudação associados ao soerguimento de arcos e altos, deposição de sedimentos em bacias marginais e formação de bacias continentais. Onde os atributos que a tornam interessante para este trabalho seriam relacionados à diversidade de sua constituição geológica e geomorfológica que abrange tanto aos terrenos cristalinos pré-cambrianos quanto as rochas e sedimentos da borda leste da Bacia Sedimentar do Paraná. Estas rochas estão configuradas em um quadro evolutivo de embasamento précambriano, com desenvolvimento de grande bacia de sedimentação, com diferentes ciclos desde o Permiano até o final do Cretáceo, que podem ser notados pela presença de relevo residual com testemunhos da superfície de aplainamento, a partir da qual se instalou o sistema de drenagem atual, com a influência de processos exógenos e endógenos. Portanto neste trabalho foi possível caracterizar três diferentes tipos de compartimentos geomorfológicos determinados através da compartimentação das unidades de relevo com as estruturas geológicas, de forma a realçar feições de relevo, padrões e anomalias de drenagens, que são típicas de diferentes estruturas do substrato rochoso, sendo eles: Compartimento "Planaltos Residuais Cuestiformes", "Patamares da Canastra" e "Planalto de Varginha". No compartimento "Planaltos Residuais Cuestiformes" as feições ostentam um padrão de acamamento que varia de sub-horizontal a horizontal e que por isso passam a refletir um relevo fortemente assimétrico, marcado pela homogeneidade de feições escarpadas e alinhadas. Para o compartimento "Patamares da Canastra", o relevo possui um acamamento associado a camadas inclinadas, e por isso gera um padrão de relevo que varia...

Where the attributes that make it interesting for this work would be related to the diversity of its geomorphological and geological formation that includes both the land pre-Cambrian crystalline rocks and sediments on the eastern edge of the Paraná Sedimentary Basin. These stones are set in an evolutionary framework of pre-Cambrian basement, with development of large sedimentation basin, with different cycles from the Permian to the end of the Cretaceous, which may be noticed by the presence of residual relief with examples of the planing surface, from which it installed the current drainage system, with the influence of exogenous and endogenous processes. So this work has been possible to characterize three different types of geomorphologic compartments determined by the subdivision of units relevant to the geological structures in order to highlight features of topography, drainage patterns and anomalies of which are typical of different structures of the rocky substrate, and them: Compartment "Waste Cuestiformes Plateau," "levels of Canastra" and "Plateau of Varginha. In compartment "Plateau Waste Cuestiformes" bearing the features of a standard lodging that ranges from sub-horizontal to horizontal and therefore will reflect an emphasis strongly asymmetric, marked by the homogeneity of craggy features and aligned. For the compartment "levels of Canastra, the relief has a lodging associated with inclined layers, and therefore generates a pattern of relief that varies from moderate to slightly asymmetric, given by crests aligned supported by quartzites. And the compartment "Plateau de Varginha"... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
