TV a.G: A PROGRAMAÇÃO TELEVISIVA PAULISTA ANTES DA GLOBO

A programação é a alma da emissora, ela dá identidade ao canal e é o verdadeiro produto da TV. A grade de programação faz parte de uma estratégia que busca atrair o máximo de audiência possível e, principalmente, mantê-la fiel. Na década de 1970, a TV Globo alcançou o primeiro lugar de audiência com um modelo de grade que, em linhas gerais, permanece até hoje, como por exemplo, o sanduíche novela-telejornal-novela. Mas como era programação televisiva antes da Globo? Quais os gêneros de programas mais comuns? O era exibido no horário nobre? Como era a programação da então líder TV Tupi? Da glamurosa TV Excelsior? Da TV Record de Paulo Machado de Carvalho? E da pequena TV Paulista que funcionava num apartamento? Nas duas primeiras décadas da TV brasileira é que surgiram as pesquisas de audiência, o videoteipe, as transmissões via satélite e o início da formação das redes. Como algumas dessas tecnologias influenciaram a programação? Por meio de uma metodologia quantitativa e qualitativa, baseada em pesquisa bibliográfica, observação de dados e em entrevistas com profissionais do setor, esta pesquisa de caráter exploratório se baseia em dois eixos estruturais: 1) Rever os principais critérios de classificação de gêneros televisivos e, com esta classificação, fazer a segunda parte do estudo: 2) Analisar as características de programação das quatro emissoras comerciais de maior audiência da TV aberta paulista, nas décadas de 1950 e 1960.

Autonomia e Satisfação com a Vida em Jovens Institucionalizados: Lares de Infância e Juventude vs Apartamentos de Autonomização

O principal objectivo deste estudo centra-se na compreensão das relações entre autonomia, satisfação com a vida e a satisfação com a instituição em jovens institucionalizados. Analisaram-se estes três conceitos nas suas relações com a idade, sexo e tipo de resposta social, incidindo a atenção nas diferenças existentes num acolhimento em lar de infância e juventude [LIJ] e apartamento de autonomização [AA]. Participaram neste estudo 181 jovens, de ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 21 anos. Em LIJ estavam acolhidos 155 jovens e 26 em AA. Para avaliar a autonomia utilizou-se o Questionário de Autonomia dos Adolescentes e para a satisfação com a vida a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida. Foi elaborado um questionário com o intuito de avaliar a satisfação com a instituição. De uma forma geral, os resultados indicam-nos que a satisfação com a vida está relacionada positivamente com a autonomia, na sua forma geral, com a dimensão autonomia funcional e com a satisfação com a instituição. A autonomia funcional encontra-se igualmente relacionada positivamente com a satisfação com a instituição. Os rapazes manifestam-se mais satisfeitos com a vida e com a instituição, assim como se sentem mais autónomos do que as raparigas. Os jovens mais velhos mostram-se mais autónomos que os mais novos, e a nível da resposta social é nos AA que se verifica maior autonomia, satisfação com a vida e com a instituição. Podemos salientar que os jovens institucionalizados apresentam níveis de satisfação com a vida baixos, sejam eles jovens mais novos ou mais velhos. Verificámos também que a satisfação com a vida destes jovens é influenciada positivamente pela percepção de competência face à escolha de uma estratégia e sua concretização para atingir um objectivo. Finalmente, podemos perceber que os jovens acolhidos em AA se mostram menos insatisfeitos com a vida e com a instituição, assim como manifestam uma percepção de autonomia superior, aos acolhidos em LIJ. / The main objective of this study focuses on understanding the relationship between autonomy, life satisfaction and institution satisfaction for institutionalized youngters. The analysis was based in these three concepts related to their age relations, sex and type of social care, focuses the attention on the differences between residential care and apartment care. In this study participated 181 youngsters, of both sexes, aged between 13 and 21 years old. Of the 181 youngsters, 155 were placed in residential care and 26 in the apartments care (apartments focused in autonomy development). In order to evaluate autonomy was used the Adolescent Autonomy Questionnaire, for evaluate life satisfaction was used the Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale. To access satisfaction with the institution, was developed a questionnaire, Satisfaction with the Institution Scale. In a general way, the results indicate that life satisfaction is positively related to autonomy, in its general form, with functional autonomy dimension and satisfaction with the institution. Functional autonomy is also positively related to satisfaction with the institution. The boys manifest, themselves, more satisfied with life and the institution as well as feel more autonomous than girls. The older youngsters appear to be more autonomous than younger ones. Analyzing the type of care, is in the apartment care that appear to be greater autonomy, satisfaction with life and with the institution. We point out that institutionalized youngsters have low life satisfaction, low levels whether they be younger or older youngsters. We also observed that life satisfaction of these youngsters is positively influenced by the perception of competence given the choice of a strategy and its implementation to achieve a goal. Finally, we can observe that youngsters in apartment care are less dissatisfied with life and the institution as well as express a greater sense of autonomy to those living in residential care.

Residential planning, driver mobility and CO2 emission

The literature on residences and citizens’ transports has focused on either reforming traffic managing in response to residential relocation or post-evaluation of urban planning policies or the evolution of the urban spatial form. In a city there are hotspots that attract the citizens and most of the transportation in the city arises as the citizens’ movement between their residence and the hotspots. Little scholarly attention has been devoted to the possibility to minimize citizens’ transportation in the city by the urban planning of residential areas. In this paper we propose a method to evaluate the environmental impact (in terms of CO2-emissions) of urban plans of residential areas. The method is illustrated in a Swedish case of a midsize city which is presently preoccupied with urban planning of new residential areas in response to substantial population growth due to immigration. The residential plans aims to increase the compactness and residential density in the current center and sub centers leads to less CO2 emissions compare to urban expansion to the edge of the city. The plans of concentrated apartment buildings are more effective in meeting residential needs and mitigating CO2 emissions than dispersed single-family houses.
