A lack of land use controls on sexually oriented businesses contributes to the unique configuration of Portland, Oregon's strip clubs: nearly fifty clubs are distributed throughout the city's neighborhoods. Considered a locally unwanted land use (LULU) by many, these strip clubs are regulated by a variety of formal and informal social processes in the absence of zoning. This qualitative study explores drivers and constraints shaping the spatial configuration of Portland's strip club industry as well as influences on land use conflict at strip club sites and working conditions for women who work as exotic dancers in the clubs. Data collection entailed review of documents (newspaper articles, legal and administrative decisions and records, and ballot measure pro/con statements); site observations; and in-person interviews with exotic dancers, strip club owners and managers, public employees who deal with strip clubs in their line of work, and people who live and work near strip clubs (n=43). Analysis follows Clarke's (2005) situational analysis methods. The study finds that strip clubs are not necessarily incompatible with residential locations and that such locations can confer benefits to dancers. The normalization of strip clubs in Portland decreases the place stigma associated with strip clubs but has a lesser impact on the person stigma of being an exotic dancer. With regard to land use conflict, the study finds that tolerance of sexual commerce is associated with urbanicity and that neighborhood socioeconomic status has a more complex relationship to community response than is suggested by the literature on land use conflict. Based on these findings, the dissertation argues that conflict resolution programs may be more effective than zoning at managing potential negative effects of sexually oriented businesses, and that improving working conditions for exotic dancers is a complex challenge. It proposes broader adoption of the sex work discourse, including the integration of labor issues in sex industry to advocacy efforts on behalf of other freelance and service sector workers.

台灣地區數十年來隨著社會經濟的快速發展，都市計畫地區內之人口數，自民國50年以來，平均每年約以7.45%的速度增加。為了滿足日益增加的都市人口活動需求，故需不斷地在有限的都市土地資源上進行開發活動。然而，由於在規劃、組織、管制等方面的不周延，導致土地開發常缺乏計畫性指導原則，產生例如交通擁擠、環境污染、公共設施與開放空間的不足、生態環境的破壞等許多不同性質的問題，而無法真正健全都市的發展，對於都市型態與都市機能亦產生許多的負面效果。 本研究以台灣地區目前公部門常實施之市地重劃與區段徵收為例，藉由文獻資料的整理分析與問卷深入訪談的方式，探討相關的政府承辦人員及專家學者們對於上述兩種土地開發方式所產生的土地開發問題性質之看法。期以美國成長管理理念為基礎，並透過管理的規劃、組織、指導、管制四大功能的分析，提出成長管理策略與相關配合措施之建議，俾指導土地開發活動的進行得以滿足促進都市發展，健全都市機能的目標。 本研究基於上述的理念，對於市地重劃與區段徵收所產生之土地開發問題的分析，研擬適當的成長管理策略，作為政府在土地開發管理上的參考。首先在規劃方面應建立明確的土地開發原則，配合相關技術工具的實行，以指導土地開發活動的進行；在組織方面應加強各相關單位之協調整合；在管制方面則是擬定適當的管制性計畫並透過電腦技術的運用，監測與掌控土地開發的速度與都市發展、公共設施之間的配合；在指導方面則是須有效整合土地開發各相關單位之意見及解決其發生之衝突，清楚界定土地開發相關單位間的權責以達成彼此間的共識。此外，亦須加強民眾在土地開發過程中的參與機制，以爭取民眾的支持而減少土地開發所受到的阻力。 / For decades, Taiwan has experienced rapid social and economic development. Since 1961, the population has increased about 7.45 percent annually in the urban planned districts. In order to accommodate the increasing urban population and activities, it has to develop scarce land resources. However, weakness in existing planning systems, government structure, policy context, and control strategies for managing development and growth has led to many problems, such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, public facility provision, open space deficiency, and ecological environment destruction. Those problems produce negative impacts on urban development, urban pattern, and urban firnction. Based upon the functions of management, such as planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, this study investigates the problems of urban development in Taiwan, particular in the development by urban land consolidation and zone expropriation programs. The approaches of literature review and questionnaire are adopted in order to understand deeply the problems of land development in Taiwan. Furthermore, the strategies of growth management of American experiences are discussed. Finally, some practical suggestions for land development in Taiwan are presented. This thesis explores the background of existing problems related to urban land consolidation and zone expropriation programs and develop workable growth management strategies and suggestions. First, in planning aspect, government should establish clear land development principles associated with relative technical tools to guide development which is satisfactory in timing, location, and quantity. Second, in organizing aspects, government should bring more about integration and coordination among relative institutions to yield administrative efficiency. Third, as for controlling aspects, government should develop feasible land use plans and apply the computer techniques for monitoring land development pace and service level. Fourth, in leading aspects, government should regulate the clear responsibilities among relevant institutions and resolve the possible conflicts to bring more about consensus. Finally, government should strengthen citizen participation in the land development process to win public support.

Coastal urban settlements require a special planning approach since they bring the concepts of &ldquo / urban&rdquo / and &ldquo / coastal&rdquo / together. In relation to the specific contents of these concepts, there are also different models of management plans. &ldquo / Urban Disaster Risk Management&rdquo / and &ldquo / Integrated Coastal Zone Management&rdquo / are two of them. Urban Disaster Risk Management model deals with the planning and management problems of urban settlements in the case of disaster risk conditions. Likewise, Integrated Coastal Zone Management model focuses on the whole coastal area and deals with the sustainable use and protection of all types of coastal resources. However, in case of urban coastal settlements, these models of management plans can be valid together, can overlap, and they can even conflict with each other. In this thesis study, these two models of management plan and their coexistence are considered. A Coastal Area Assessment Model is set up and applied for Iskenderun case. This model provides a detailed spatial analysis opportunity in planning and management of coastal urban settlement. Therefore the model offers a significant input for the planning process through determining urban and coastal risks at the same time. Coastal Area Assessment Model is a tool which takes both Urban Disaster Risk Management and Integrated Coastal Zone Management models&rsquo / concerns into account and evaluates the coastal settlement in terms of urban risk sectors and coastal management issues. This study also introduces an approach on classification of the coastal areas and coastal urban settlements while setting up the Coastal Area Assessment Model. Coastal Area Assessment Model becomes an advantageous tool since it has significant contributions to the planning process by making a simple risk analysis and guiding the proper utilization and protection of the population, built environment, and resources of the coastal areas. Risk sectors, coastal management issues, critical and prior intervention areas of a coastal urban settlement are easily determined, and preparation of development plans of a coastal settlement is guided by the implementation of Coastal Area Assessment Model. In addition to these, general principles on planning and management of coastal settlements are determined by the implementation of the model for the implementation conditions of Urban Disaster Risk Management model, Integrated Coastal Zone Management model, and the Coastal Area Assessment Model in Turkey are also discussed and presented.

市地重劃是目前落實都市計畫的重要工具之一透過市地重劃可取得十公共設施用地及部分設施之建設經費。在地方政府財源短絀的情況下，市地重劃不啻是為優良之地方建設工具之一。 市地重劃運用使用者付費之觀念，將開發利益以公共設施用地及建設經費的內容，轉換成抵費地之方式回饋社會，目前依法令規定此回饋比例不得超過市地重劃總面積之百分之四十五。然而如何適當地評估開發利益（即市地重劃效益），並依此獲利負擔回饋（即市地重劃負擔）是本研究所欲了解的。本研究藉由地價理論，確定市地重劃效益主要是因為公共設施投資建設所產生之寧適性與可建性，資本化為每宗土地之土地價值一部分而得；其次依分配價值理論與使用者付費方法，確定市地重劃負擔具有類似稅捐性質，其意為每宗土地支付重劃負擔所繳納之土地比例。由此觀點，本研究藉由市地重劃地價函數之建立，依特徵價格法（ Hedonic Price Method）建構實證模型，並且選定臺中市第七期及第八期重劃區為實證地區，以討論公共設施投資建設對市地重劃後土地價值的景響程度，２重劃負擔法定比例的經濟意義及土地所有權人對重劃負擔的真實負擔能力，以及3以個體經濟之觀點，衡量土地所有權人對重劃之利益與負擔，願意支付之價格。最後再進一步檢討1現行市地重劃分配計算方式之缺失，2以抵費地支付重負擔之問題，以及3重劃估價方式之間題，並提出改進方向。 本研究經以理論及實證分析，獲得之主要結論為：參與市地重劃之住宅地，透過地方性公共建設投資資本化作用，可獲得相當利益，此時以抵費地方式回饋部分利益是極可行的方式，且依實證結果可知，目前地主支付重劃負擔之實力仍大於法規要求之百分之四十五。因此，若再考慮土地使用變更所獲之超額利益，則回饋利益之比例應遠大於百分之四＋五。

Outdoor air pollution is a major contributor to adverse health effects of citizens, in particular those living in urban environments. Air quality monitoring networks are set up to measure air quality in different environments in compliance with national and European legislation. Generally, only a few fixed monitoring sites are located within a city and thus cannot represent air pollutant concentrations in urban areas accurately enough to allow for a detailed human exposure assessment. Other approaches to derive detailed urban air pollutant concentration estimates exist, such as dispersion models and land-use regression (LUR) models. Low-cost portable air quality monitors are also emerging, which have the potential to add value to existing monitoring networks by providing measurements at greater spatial resolution and also to provide individual-level exposure assessment. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how measurements and modelling in combination allow detailed investigations of the variability of air pollutants in space and time in urban area, and in turn improve on the current exposure assessment methods. Three types of low-cost portable monitors measuring NO2, O3 (Aeroqual monitors) and PM2.5 (microPEM monitor) were evaluated against their respective reference instruments. The Aeroqual O3 monitor showed very good correlation (r2 > 0.9) with the respective reference instruments, but biases in the slope and intercept coefficients indicated that calibration of Aeroqual O3 monitor was needed. The Aeroqual NO2 monitor was subject to cross-sensitivity from O3, which, as demonstrated, can be effectively corrected by making O3 and NO2 measurements in tandem. Correlation between the microPEM monitor and its reference instrument was poor (r2 < 0.1) when PM2.5 concentrations were low (< 10 μg m-3), but significantly improved (r2 > 0.69) during periods with elevated PM2.5 concentrations. Relative humidity was not found to affect the raw results of PM2.5 measurements in a consistent manner. All three types of monitors cannot be used as equivalent or indicative methods instead of reference methods in studies that require quantification of absolute pollutant concentrations. However, the generally good correlations with reference instruments reassure their application in studies of relative trends of air pollution. Concentrations of PM2.5, ultrafine particles (UFP) and black carbon (BC) were quantified using portable monitors through a combination of mobile and static measurements in the city of Edinburgh, UK. The spatial variability of UFP and BC was large, of similar magnitude and about 3 times higher than the spatial variability of PM2.5. Elevated concentrations of UFP and BC were observed along streets with high traffic volumes whereas PM2.5 showed less variation between streets and a footpath without road traffic. Both BC and UFP significantly correlated with traffic counts, while no significant correlation between PM2.5 and traffic counts was observed. The relationships between UFP, NO2 and inorganic components of PM2.5 were further investigated through long-term measurements at roadside, urban background and rural sites. UFP moderately correlated with NOx (NO2 + NO) and showed varying relationships with NOx depending on the particle size distribution. Principal component analysis and air-mass back trajectory analysis revealed that PM2.5 concentrations were dominated by long-range transport of secondary inorganic aerosols, whereas UFP were mainly related to varying local emissions and meteorological conditions. These findings imply the need for different policies for managing human exposure to these different particle components: control of much BC and UFP appears to be manageable at local scale by restricting traffic emissions; however, abatement of PM2.5 requires a more strategic approach, in cooperation with other regions and countries on emissions control to curb long-range transport of PM2.5 precursors. A dispersion model (ADMS-Urban) was used to simulate high resolution NO2 and O3 concentrations in Edinburgh. The effects of different emission and meteorological input datasets on the resulting modelled NO2 concentrations were investigated. The modelled NO2 and O3 concentrations using the optimal model setup were validated against reference instrument and diffusion tube measurements. Temporal variability of NO2 was predicted well at locations that were not heavily influenced by local effects, such as road junctions and bus stops. Temporal variability of O3 was predicted better than for NO2. Long-term spatial variability of NO2 was found to correlate well with diffusion tube measurements, while modelled spatial variability of O3 in ADMS-Urban compared poorly with diffusion tube measurements. However, it was found that the O3 diffusion tube measurements may be subject to some unidentified biases affecting their accuracy. Land-use regression (LUR) models are widely used to estimate exposure to air pollution in urban areas. An appropriately sized and designed monitoring network is an important component for the development of a robust LUR model. Concentrations of NO2 were simulated by ADMS-Urban at ‘virtual’ monitoring sites in 54 different network designs of varying numbers and types of site, using a 25 km2 area including much of the Edinburgh city area. Separate LUR models were developed for each network. These LUR models were then used to estimate ambient NO2 concentrations at all residential addresses, which were evaluated against the ADMS-Urban modelled concentration at these addresses. The improvement in predictive capability of the LUR models was insignificant above ~30 monitoring sites, although more sites tended to yield more precise LUR models. Monitoring networks containing sites located within highly populated areas better estimated NO2 concentrations across all residential locations. LUR models constructed from networks containing more roadside sites better characterised the high end of residential NO2 concentrations but had increased errors when considering the whole range of concentrations. No particular composition of monitoring network resulted in good estimation simultaneously across all residential NO2 concentration and of the highest NO2 levels implying a lack of spatial contrast in LUR-modelled pollution surface compared with the dispersion model. Finally, the results from the measurement and modelling studies presented in thesis are synthesised in the context of current exposure assessment studies. Low-cost air-quality monitors currently do not possess and are unlikely in the near future to provide the robustness and accuracy to replace the existing routine monitoring network. Development of the low-cost air-quality should be aiming at upgrading them as the indicative method as defined in the data quality objective in the EU directive. The monitoring sites used to build LUR models should capture well the population distribution in the study area as opposed to capturing the greatest pollution contrast. The traditional methods of evaluating LUR models are also ineffective in characterising the models’ capability at estimating pollutant concentration at residential address. Given that the dispersion models are also subject to the availability and uncertainties in the input data, future air quality model development should endeavour to incorporate both dispersion and land-use regression models, where the uncertainty in the input data can be reduced by using LUR models built on actual measurements, and the limitation in the statistical modelling can be replaced by adopting the deterministic approach used in the dispersion model.

Para tanto, serão ponderados conceitos e discussões acerca da questão habitacional no Brasil, exemplificada a partir da realidade de Salvador/BA e Região Metropolitana, ressaltando-se a segregação socioespacial e o déficit habitacional como peculiaridades do processo de urbanização, a questão da moradia e do acesso à da terra urbana e o consequente desenvolvimento dos movimentos sociais urbanos na luta pelo direto à moradia. Intenta-se, ainda, analisar as concepções existentes sobre a Função Social da Propriedade, a concepção adotada pela legislação e doutrinária pátrias e seus fundamentos, além da proposição da perspectiva da Função Social da Propriedade como dever fundamental, para, enfim, discorrer sobre o direito fundamental à moradia como direito social e a sua correlação com o direito à cidade, o mínimo existencial e a dignidade humana. Por fim, são feitas considerações acerca da natureza jurídica dos bens imóveis públicos, sobre a imposição da função social a estes e a impropriedade da vedação constitucional irrestrita de usucapir bens imóveis públicos, com fim na reflexão sobre até que ponto a função social da propriedade está sendo respeitada no que tange à disposição da propriedade pública para a concretização do direito à moradia e do direito à cidade. A pesquisa evidencia que a Função Social da Propriedade se mostra na prática uma figura retórica na atuação estatal para a promoção do desenvolvimento urbano e gestão de cidades, pois o Poder Público, assim como os setores privados, se pauta na noção do direito de propriedade individual e irrestrito, em desconformidade aos valores constitucionais consubstanciados na Carta Magna de 1988, incluindo o Poder Judiciário, que segue a tradição civilista e dogmática sob a qual foi formado e se apresenta insensível à problemática da habitação como questão social. Sustenta-se ser possível defender que entre a norma-princípio da função social e a norma-regra de vedação de usucapião de bens públicos existe hierarquia axiológica, e que, em caso de conflito, deve prevalecer a primeira, orientando, desta forma, que os bens públicos cumpram função social, constituindo a usucapião especial sobre bens públicos desafetados mais uma proposta de instrumento para a regularização fundiária com fins na concretização do direito à moradia, sob a garantia do mínimo existencial para uma vida digna, e do direito à cidade. / This paper proposes to analyze the effectiveness of the Social Function of Public Property on public real estate and its correlation with the realization of the right to housing of vulnerable social groups from the perspective of guaranteeing the existential minimum and the Social Function of Property as a fundamental duty. For that, concepts and discussions about the housing issue in Brazil will be considered, exemplified by the reality of Salvador / BA and Metropolitan Region, highlighting the socio-spatial segregation and the housing deficit as peculiarities of the urbanization process, the housing issue and of access to urban land and the consequent development of urban social movements in the struggle for housing. It is also tried to analyze the existing conceptions on the Social Function of Property, the conception adopted by the country's legal and doctrinal principles and its foundations, besides proposing the perspective of the Social Function of Property as a fundamental duty, to finally discuss the fundamental right to housing as a social right and its correlation with the right to the city, the existential minimum and human dignity. Finally, considerations are made about the legal nature of public real estate, about the imposition of the social function on them, and the impropriety of the unrestricted constitutional prohibition of usucapir public real estate, with the purpose of reflecting on the extent to which the social function of property is being respected with regard to the disposition of public property for the realization of the right to housing and the right to the city. The research shows that the Social Function of Property is in practice a rhetorical figure in the state action for the promotion of urban development and city management, since the Public Power, as well as the private sectors, is based on the notion of individual property rights and unrestricted, in disregard for the constitutional values enshrined in the Constitution of 1988, including the Judiciary, which follows the civilist and dogmatic tradition under which it was formed and is insensitive to the problem of housing as a social issue. It is argued that it is possible to argue that there is an axiological hierarchy between the norm-principle of the social function and the norm-rule of prohibition of the use of public goods, and that, in case of conflict, the former must prevail, public property fulfills a social function, constituting the special misappropriation of public property, and a proposal for an instrument for land regularization with the purpose of realizing the right to housing, under the guarantee of the existential minimum for a dignified life, and of the right to the city.

O objetivo desta Tese é a proposição de uma metodologia alternativa para planejamento de transportes que contempla as ferramentas disponíveis na ciência do sensoriamento remoto. A perspectiva adotada analisa aspectos do planejamento de transportes urbanos, tendo como embasamento os dados e informações advindos das imagens de satélite com alto poder de resolução espacial. A metodologia usa a abordagem baseada em objetos para classificar imagens de satélite de sensoriamento remoto. Através do processo de classificação, identificam-se feições urbanas úteis para o planejamento de transporte, em especial áreas de concentração de polos geradores de viagens do município de João Pessoa no estado da Paraíba, Brasil. A proposta é que com base nesses dados, e outros provenientes de uma pesquisa de campo (pesquisa domiciliar origem/destino), é possível caracterizar o uso do solo e a correspondente demanda por transportes. O estudo se justifica por propor uma alternativa mais ágil e menos onerosa, em comparação aos métodos tradicionais de construção e atualização da base de dados para análises de transportes. Ao identificar as regiões da cidade com as maiores quantidades de viagens geradas, os resultados obtidos auxiliam nas ações de planejamento do sistema de transportes, visando alcançar o equilíbrio entre oferta e demanda de transporte com o uso do solo urbano. / The objective of this Thesis is to propose an alternative method of transportation planning that considers the tools available in the science of remote sensing. The perspective adopted examines aspects of urban transportation planning, having as basis the data and information coming from satellite images with high spatial resolution. The methodology uses the object-based approach to classify remote sensing satellite imagery. Through the classification process, urban features useful for transportation planning are identified, mainly areas of concentration of trip generation in the city of João Pessoa, state of Paraíba, Brazil. The proposal is that, based on these data, and others from a field research (origin/destination home-interview survey), it is possible to characterize the land use and the corresponding demand for transport. The study is justified because it proposes a more agile and less costly alternative, compared to traditional methods of building and updating the database for transport analysis. By identifying areas of the city with the largest amounts of trips generated, the results support planning actions on the transportation system, in order to achieve a balance between transport supply and demand with urban land use.

A tese apresenta e analisa os conteúdos programáticos e a trajetória administrativa, entre 2005 e 2013, do projeto urbanístico Nova Luz, elaborado pela Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo para o antigo bairro de Santa Ifigênia, localizado no centro da cidade. Duas hipóteses principais e complementares são aqui verificadas. A primeira insere o projeto na tradição das intervenções saneadoras e embelezadoras do urbanismo moderno, tipificadas pelas intervenções de Haussmann na Paris da segunda metade do século XIX ou no Rio de Janeiro e em São Paulo no início do XX, supondo que, tal como nesses paradigmas, o aprimoramento físico do local combinar-­-se-­-ia com a expulsão dos antigos moradores pobres em favor da valorização imobiliária e de usos elitistas do patrimônio arquitetônico da região. O saneamento físico, neste caso, implicaria doença social e degradação em outras partes da cidade. A segunda hipótese leva em conta diferenças significativas nos contextos histórico e social dos dois períodos tratados, exigindo o exame de alternativas que considerem o momento atual, ou seja, as relações entre sociedade civil e Estado no Brasil, a situação da gestão pública urbana após a Constituinte de 1988 e, particularmente, as formas de participação popular em projetos públicos constatadas na cidade de São Paulo nos últimos anos. Assim, as condições atuais da legislação sobre planejamento urbano, suas relações com políticas neoliberais aplicadas às cidades e a fiscalização pela população no encaminhamento do Nova Luz estariam impedindo o desfecho do projeto e as consequências esperadas pela primeira hipótese. A tese defende que o conceito de salubridade aplicado sob a rubrica de modernização já não encontra o mesmo apoio e terreno limpo do passado. Vitórias palpáveis de organização popular contra o Nova Luz fazem crer que o direito à cidade não mais constitui um ideal inalcançável para as classes populares no Brasil, ou pelo menos em sua maior metrópole. Nesse sentido, o conceito de saúde é ampliado para saúde política, pela maior participação e conquista de direitos às condições urbanas de vida digna pelo conjunto da população. / The thesis presentes and analyzes the planning and administrative trajectory of the Nova Luz (New Light) city planning Project in the period between 2005 and 2013, undertaken by the Municipality of São Paulo for the old Santa Ifigênia neighborhood, located in the city center. Two main and complementary hypotheses are verified here. The first inserts the Project in the tradition of beautifying and sanitizing interventions of modern urbanism, typified by Haussmann\'s interventions in the Paris of the second half of the nineteenth century or in the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo of the early twentieth, assuming that such as in these paradigms, the physical improvement of the place would combine with the expulsion of the former poor residentes favoring real estate valuation and elitist uses of the architectural heritage of the region. The physical sanitation in this case would imply social illness and degradation in other parts of the city. The second hypothesis takes into account significant diferences in the historical and social contexts of the two periods discussed, requiring an examination of alternatives that take into account the presente moment, that is, the relationship between civil society and the state in Brazil, the situation of urban public management after Constituent Assembly of 1988, and particularly the forms of popular participation in public projects found in the City of São Paulo in recente years. Therefore, the current conditions of the legislation on urban planning, its relations with neoliberal policies applied to cities and monitoring by the population of the execution of the Nova Luz Project would be preventing the conclusion of the Project and the expected consequences of the first hypothesis. The thesis argues that the concept of wholesomeness applied under the rubric of modernization no longer meets the same support and free range it had in the past. Tangible victories of grassroots organizing against the Nova Luz Project lead do believe that the right to the city is no longer an unattainable ideal for the popular classes in Brazil, or at least in its largest metropolis. In this sense, the concept of health is extended to political health, for greater participation and achievement of rights to decente urban living conditions for the whole population.

The unequal wealth distribution and lack of opportunities exclude, more and more a large number of people in our society who does not have access to minimum needs to human survival. In this case, a place to call home. Nevertheless, those who decide to confront the system place their homes in ilegal áreas such as permanent environment preserved areas as a result of invasion without the public sector approval. The proposal of this reunion of ideas is to stimulate reflection which is not observed by a considerable segment of population that does not live in periphery areas and slums located in large urban centers that demands solution through concrete actions departing from State. What are available mechanisms to solve urban land rights? Is there a solution to the housing deficit problem? Is the public sector the only one responsible to find alternatives in search of solving this task? These questions will be approach by inviting the reader to reflect in search of parameters that may conduct to solutions in this sensible area of housing deficit problem. / Este trabalho dá enfoque à função social da propriedade urbana frente aos vários problemas habitacionais dos grandes centros urbanos, enfatizando a regularização fundiária necessária de áreas invadidas, favelas, cortiços, de loteamentos irregulares e clandestinos. A má distribuição de renda e oportunidades deixa, cada vez mais excluída, uma parcela da sociedade que não tem acesso ao mínimo necessário para sobrevivência humana. Neste caso, um lugar para chamar de lar. Não obstante, aqueles que resolvem ir ao enfrentamento do sistema, firmam suas moradias em bairros irregulares ou áreas de preservação ambiental permanente, oriundos de invasão ou loteamentos sem aprovação do Poder Público. A proposta deste apanhado de idéias é trazer à reflexão, situações de descaso que acontecem nas periferias e favelas dos grandes centros e que precisam de solução e ações concretas do Estado para uma solução rápida. Quais seriam os mecanismos disponíveis para a regularização fundiária urbana? O problema do déficit habitacional brasileiro tem solução? O Poder Público é o único responsável pela condução das alternativas em busca dessa solução? Estas e outras perguntas serão abordadas na tentativa de, numa reflexão conjunta com o leitor, serem estabelecidos parâmetros para a condução dos trabalhos nesta área de sensível alcance social.

Fragmented spaces for the needs of economic agents, characterized by a marked difference in the implementation of infrastructure and transform the value of the soil, brought to cities and urban socioeconomics huge problems, especially for the low-income population, which now occupy sectors characterized as clusters subnormal. Social conflicts impulsionaram the state to intervene and to establish land regularization policies in urban areas, set amidst them, the domain of the Union. Therefore, access to public land, the area of the Union irregularly occupied, became the target of this policy social inclusion which was consolidated, and other urban land tenure instruments, with the special use concession instrument for housing in the democratic access to these areas and in São Luís is already a reality seen in the neighborhoods of Liberdade and Camboa. / O processo de urbanização das cidades brasileiras que aconteceu de forma acelerada a partir da segunda metade do século XX, motivada principalmente por uma mudança do modelo econômico de agro-exportador para industrial, trouxe como consequência um vertiginoso aumento do consumo por espaços urbanos. Espaços fragmentados pelas necessidades dos agentes econômicos, que caracterizados por uma acentuada diferença na implantação de infraestrutura, transformaram o valor do solo e trouxeram para as cidades enormes problemas socioeconômicos e urbanísticos, principalmente para a população de baixa renda, que passaram a ocupar setores denominados de aglomerados subnormais. Conflitos sociais impulsionaram o Estado a intervir e a instituir políticas de regularização fundiárias nas áreas urbanas, entre elas, as áreas de domínio da União. Para tanto, o acesso à terra pública, à área da União, ocupada irregularmente, passou a ser alvo dessa política de inclusão social que se consolidou, entre outros instrumentos de regularização fundiária urbano, com o instrumento da concessão de uso especial para fins de moradia no acesso democrático a essas áreas e que em São Luís já é uma realidade vista nos bairros da Liberdade e Camboa.
