Gestão Social em Empreendimentos Econômicos Solidários: uma abordagem no Oeste Potiguar

The central research question was to search for data to ratify the theory and discourse of the so-called practitioners of economic solidarity, by defending the substantive rationality should guide the principles of economic solidary, designing the space economy incidental and not the primacy of relations in determining social as well, reflecting the predominance of dimensions of social management in administrative practices of ESS's. For both analyzed the theoretical dimensions of social management - sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental - manifested in organizational practices supportive of economic organization Potiguar West. For the success of the research realized the triangulation involving a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. At first the research will use a quantitative approach, from the cluster analysis, to verify the behavior of the sample chosen for this study. In the second stage of the qualitative study was carried out focus group technique (FLICK, 2002) for further analysis of the dimensions of social management on organizational practices supportive of economic organization, related to the principles of Solidary Economy, established in a quantitative approach. In quantitative analysis, the socio-political dimension, it was clear that the more equity instruments of internal and external, from the purposeful living in public spaces, the best monetary results. Another point worth stressing concerns the economic dimension, with the practice reciprocity prevailing in market. Thus, the qualitative approach was possible to understand the processes of exchange of product or service. Rural enterprises surveyed in the allocation of the agro-ecological products have the following scale of priority, sequentially: self-consumption (domestic), market and exchange. The research leads to the fact that training and practices that enhance the socio-political dimension (knowledge, empowerment, sense of belonging) become the guiding principle for the strengthening of the social management in the context of other dimensions, leading to gains sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental. Despite the weaknesses found in the organizational dimension and environment, both in a quantitative as in qualitative, we determined that the practices of ESS's Potiguar West incorporate predominantly elements of social management and economic solidarity, with a preponderance of substantive rationality in the primacy of the instrumental. Finally, research has brought information that the participants of the ESS's do not give the money economy primacy in determining social relations, which in turn leads to the confirmation that, in practice the solidarity economy, prevailing the dominance of substantive rationality, as a guide for organizational practices

Economia solidária e relações de gênero na agricultura familiar: o caso do grupo produtivo mulheres decididas a vencer

The Women s experiences in the private sphere under the work s field changes the family relationship allowing them more freedom, autonomy and independence. The inequalities, socially built, homemade women s obligations results in discrimination, difficult to insert and recovery on female s job in a job s market, including low salary if compared with men s and difficult to services access in addiction a difficult daily life and in domestic sphere. The women s organisation in productive groups or economically solidary enterprises (ESE) torn possible the social economically organisations and politicians to promote deep changes in a domestically e socially relationship, positioning, for example, women s in publics areas and in the rout of emancipation. The objective of this search are understand men and women relationship in the family agriculture s field starts insert women in economically solidary enterprises (ESE) on Mulunguzinho s settlement (Mossoró/RN). The theoretical framework is inspirited Economical Solidary concept kind division s job and women s empowerment. This search had a qualitative character and exploration through case s study on Mulheres decididas a vencer s group. The secondary information was create through theoretical framework and information collected through semi-structured interviews based in interviews applied for women and yours respective husbands by criterion for women participation on productive activities of beekeeping culture of goat and sheep. This study turns possible conclude that the women s participations in productive groups in solidary economical change significantly their life and their family life. The group s organisations process, the training was received, the collective production, the marketing and the mobilized participation to move it all was fundamental for women share with their families partners some homemade and take care with the children. This finding confirm a different aspect not economical in solidary economy overcoming the monetary value in associative relationship observing principally individuals well-being and the concern with the form of reproduction this way of life in the associated

Os forrós da Serra da Gameleira (São Tomé/RN) : etnicidade, festa e sociabilidade

This work intends to describe and analyze the parties of forró that happen in Serra da Gameleira, in São Tomé/RN. Serra is a divided social space: groups of different ethnic origins live together in Gameleira de Baixo, Salgadinho (or Gameleira de Cima) and Chaves Belas. They are approximately two hundred families that live exclusively from agriculture. We try to understand how the parties inform about the social organization, the ethnic composition of the families that live there and the past of Serra, through the genealogy offorró players. In the discussion, we identify the festive places: in the total, we have Five houses of forró that function regularly one of them has been described. The private and public spaces inside them are intimate related, with no clear limits between the house of forró and the residence. Each house of forró has an owner, that regularly makes the parties, mobilizing a big part of the inhabitants, and provoking the straitening of the social relations. Observing the festive sociability between different social segments, the forró appears like na element that minimizes social conflicts, providing news ways of association and cooperation in the space of Serra da Gameleira. For the collection of facts, we used the ethnographic method, through the direct observation, interviewing and documentary research. The local history is recounted following the routes of oral memory and historical documents analysis. In the end of the analysis, we concluded that music and party are elements that aggregate the different groups that live in the location and determine forms of expression of what is seen as a traditional culture

Uma cidade para pessoas: funcionalidade, racionalidade e emotividade nas relações mobiliário urbano, espaço público e cidadãos

This research investigates how functionality, rationality, and emotionality applied to urban furniture design contribute to the organization, legibility, and qualification of public spaces, according to different layouts, physical and visual qualities of the urban furniture as well as the quality of urban infrastructure that may influence the uses and appropriation of urban spaces by pedestrians, turning those spaces into socially centripetal or centrifugal places. The work consists of two parts. First refers to a bibliographical review concerning two main issues of the investigation: product design and legibility of public space, defining the conceptual and theoretical bases, linked to methodological strategies aimed at systemic planning and integrated management of urban furniture design and legibility of public spaces (sidewalks), that are necessary to define the existing relationships among the user s interface (pedestrians); product (urban artifacts); built environment (sidewalks). The second part refers to the achievement of empirical approach throughout visual analysis of public spaces and the functional and qualitative evaluation of the existing urban furniture in the central neighborhood of Cidade Alta, Natal, RN, according to the theoretical researched concepts and methodological procedures. The results expose the weaknesses and levels of intensity arising from the relations among public space, urban furniture, and users, revealing the need for theoretical and practical approaches which would help the decision-making in planning, designing and integrating innovative, sustainable, and ethical solutions in order to design attractive public spaces that could provide sociability and citizenship throughout integrated public management, city systemic thinking and urban identity. The suggested guidelines at the end of this research will provide the necessary strategies to design suitable urban furniture systems according to aesthetic and practical urban infrastructure and city context, aiming to ease visual and physical conflicts that may negatively interfere with the appropriation of public spaces by the citizens

O coração e o dragão: perspectivas da vida urbana em uma cidade fragmentada

This research aims to study dimensions of urban life in the contemporaneous city. It is an effort to understand the functioning of the contemporary city as an artifact that somehow affects social relations. The study focuses on the limits and possibilities of urbanity in the city today, understanding urbanity as a set of factors that favor wealth, diversity and spontaneity of public life. The research aims to show that cities today tend to criate fragmented urban life into at least one of the three urbanity dimensions: spatial dimension, social and temporal dimension. The study involves the analysis of two public spaces in Fortaleza (Praça do Ferreira and the open urban public spaces of the Centro Cultural Dragão do Mar), using Space Syntax Analysis methods and for Post Occupancy Evaluation procedures. Research shows that temporal dimension of urbanity is limited in the public spaces studied. In Praça do Ferreira, spatial and social dimensions are present, but their effects are limited by the temporal dimension. The Dragão do Mar, on the other hand, the spatial and social dimensions of urban life are more limited and more concentrated in time

Ribeira, técnica versus natureza: transformações em prol de um projeto de modernização (1860-1932)

The necessity of the insertion of the capital of Rio Grande do Norte in the world-wide commercial scene and its claim as the seat of political power, in ends of nineteenth and beginning of twentieth century, determined the direction of urban interventions undertaken by government to restructure the city. In that matter, there were several actions of improvements and embellishment in Natal, which had, as a starting point, the adequacy works of the port, located in the Ribeira quarter, with the aim of ending the physical isolation that reinforced its economic stagnation. Besides the problems faced in the opening bar of the Potengi River, and would complement the required improvements, other barriers demonstrate the tension established between the physic-geographic field and the man: the flooded and slope which connected Cidade Alta and Ribeira the first two quarters of the city.The execution of these works demanded knowledge whose domain and application it was for engineering. But, how the actions done for the engineers, in sense to transform natural areas into constructed spaces made possible the intentional conformation of the quarter of the Ribeira in a commercial and politician-administrative center, in the middle of the XIX century and beginning of the XX? Understand, therefore, the employment effects of technology on the physical-geographical Ribeira, is the objective of this work that uses theoretical and methodological procedures of Urban Environmental History, by analyzing the relationship between the environment and the man, mediated by knowledge and use of technologies. The documental research was used, as primary sources, the Messages of the Provincial Assembly Government that later became the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte reports and articles on specialized publications, in addition to local newspapers. The work is structured in five chapters. First, some comments about Urban Environmental History (Chapter 1) supplemented with analysis of the conceptual construction of nature in the Contemporary Era and its application in the city (chapter 02), the following chapters (03 and 04) deal with the rise of engineers as a active group in the Brazilian government frameworks and their vision about the nature inside the urban environment and it is studied how the professional technicians dealt with the improvement work of the harbor and in the shock with the natural forces. Other works that would complement this "project" of modernization and had had natural obstacles to be removed the Ribeira flood and slope constitute the subject of the fifth chapter. Finally, some final considerations retake the initial discussions aiming an association between the technique and the nature as junction elements inside the process of constitution of a Modern Natal

Arquitetura da (in)segurança: estudando relações entre configuração espacial, artifícios de segurança e violência urbana no bairro Manaíra, João Pessoa, Paraíba

João Pessoa, the capital city of the state of Paraíba (Northeast Brazil), is reputed throughout the country as a quiet place, although it has been acquiring, over the past years, an urban character with social implications similar to those of major metropolitan Brazilian areas. The new situation is evident by the social inequalities, with the creation of confined spaces, which segregate and cause enclosure of the inhabitants, leading to death the public space. This study correlates accessibility in spatial structure with two types of crime data, burglary and robbery, recorded in 2008 and 2009, by the Secretaria de Segurança da Paraíba (The government agency public in charge of safety), in the district of Manaíra, an upper middle class neighborhood, which has, in recent times, been considered one of the most violent areas in João Pessoa. Sought to understand connections between these events and morpho-social aspects of the built environment, where examined the spatial properties, such as accessibility of the urban net, the presence of control measures, the safety of buildings and their uses. Spatial properties were also validated by the observation of pedestrian flows at strategic points of the study area. It was concluded that the presence of intense flows helps to attract potential thieves, physical security and control offers little protection

Der hinterhof: proposta "Kunstlerhaus" para quarteirão no Bairro de AuBere Neustadt em Dresden

INTRODUÇÂO: A presente dissertação decorre do trabalho elaborado no âmbito da disciplina de Projecto Avançado III desenvolvido durante o programa Erasmus na Technische Universitãt Dlesden, Alemanha em pareceria com a L’Université de Strasburg, França. O enunciado do exercício dado, intitulado Künstlerhaus\ tinha como premissa a elaboração de um projecto num proeminente quarteirão de esquina no bairro de AuBete Neustadt em Dresden. Pretendia-se a elaboração de uma estratégia que definisse o limite sudoeste do bairro através de um programa cultural, uma Kunstlemaus, residência de artistas, restaurante, zona de exposição, workshops e um auditório - relacionando o programa com a atmosfera artística e alternativa do bairro. A necessidade e entender as forças de estruturação desse bairro, com particularidades extremamente específicas do ponto de vista da interligação de espaços, leva ao estudo e análise de casos que, pela sua semelhança, possam ajudar a esclarecer e informar futuras decisões projectuais. Esta investigação, pelo interesse que foi acumulando, deixa de ser um simples suporte para o caso prático de Neustadt, mas antes uma base de interpretação desta realidade específica, útil e válida para qualquer caso prático em contexto similar. Contrariamente à estruturação inicial, esta investigação adquire maior relevância, no que diz respeito ao seu contributo, e apresenta-se como peça central deste trabalho. Assim, efectua-se uma divisão em dois capítulos: o primeiro denominado "Der Hinterhof- Investigação aplicável”; e o segundo "Caso prático: Aplicação em projecto". Este caso prático não tem a pretensão de ser paradigmático, mas antes uma possibilidade de utilização, ou forma de aplicação dos conceitos apreendidos na primeira instância - esclarecendo, por conseguinte, o sentido desta dissertação. Relativamente á escolha dos elementos a investigar, e de forma mais concreta, esta passou por identificar situações e operações que tivessem como base bairros com princípios urbanos similares dos de Neustadt, bem como características históricas e sociais também semelhantes. Nesse sentido, é analisado o caso da lnternationale Beuausstellung Berlin (IBA) de 1987, pelo tipo de abordagem, em rotura com a tida até então, no que diz respeito à recuperação de centros históricos; é ainda investigada a situação de Kreuzberg, Berlim, pelas suas semelhanças, ao nível do modelo, com AuBere Neustadt; e por fim, é analisado um caso prático - integrado nestes dois contextos (IBA e Kreuzberg)- realizado pelo Arquitecto Siza Vieira, com a intenção de entender a metodologia utilizada na aplicação dos principies pré-estabelecidos. "A cidade, tal como a realidade histórica, nunca é independente das etapas por que passou na sua evolução: é uma actualização dessas etapas e a sua projecção em direcção ao futuro" Berlim e Dresden, cidades do século XIX e XX, tiveram a sua (re)definição urbana na Revolução Industrial e Idade Contemporânea - ambas estas épocas cruciais para o desenvolvimento e reconstrução destas cidades, assim como para a formação de singularidades, nomeadamente a utilização especifica do espaço vazio do quarteirão na estrutura urbana destas cidades. Dresden procura, nos tempos actuais, reencontrar a sua identidade perdida após ter sido palco do maior massacre na II Guerra Mundial (1939-1945) e cobaia do regime da Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR). No entanto, uma pequena parcela da cidade manteve-se intacta desde a sua elementar constituição no século XVIII: Aubere Neustadt. Um bairro operário que, com o desenvolvimento histórico, social e político, viu os espaços vazios dos seus quarteirões, associados à rigidez do traçado urbano, serem transformados em concepções personalizadas pelos sobreviventes da guerra e por comunidades alternativas ligadas sobretudo ao mundo das artes. Esse fenómeno iniciou-se na Revolução Industrial com a ocupação fabril dos espaços ainda não construídos da cidade, nomeadamente dentro dos quarteirões, assistindo-se à sobreposição dos interesses económicos sobre o desenho urbano existente. Devido à ausência de um projecto base, essas estruturas foram sendo ocupadas e modificadas por comunidades distintas, compondo o espaço actual numa gramática complexa. Falar de identidade, é falar de apropriar um todo, e compreendê-lo como um acto de unificação. A conjuntura social alemã é a génese de vários factores históricos, alguns dos quais considerados dramáticos. Nos territórios de Dresden e Berlim, inscrevem-se algumas das cicatrizes mais profundas do século XX. Nesse sentido, não são cidades como acto violento contra a natureza, mas antes demonstrações da natureza violenta do homem. Sendo a cidade o reflexo mais imediato das relações humanas e organização em sociedade, as cicatrizes patentes dessa violência criaram um impacto nas estruturas urbanas, socais, históricas e políticas. Morfologicamente, o quarteirão é um elemento urbano que mistura, agrupa e, ao mesmo tempo, divide os espaços públicos dos privados - muitas vezes detentor de ambiguidades na separação destas duas atmosferas. Importa entender o motivo social que leva a que existam espaços semi-públicos e semi-privados. O Hinterhof (espaço urbano vazio do quarteirão) prima, normalmente, por um carácter mais privativo por se encontrar distante da rua. No entanto os seus acessos, nos casos particulares de Dresden e Berlim, são maioritariamente de livre passagem, dando lugar a pátios, jardins, espaços para congregar as pessoas (esplanadas de bares, parques de estacionamento, workshops, parques de crianças, lugar para estender a roupa, festas de bairro, convívio particular, ateliers, horta comunitária, organização de picnics ao fim de semana ...) Os seus papeis não se conseguem definir, tal a sua pluralidade. O pensamento de "partiha" alemão, ainda hoje presente, possibilitou a criação desses espaços plurais semi-privados e semi-públicos. Devido ao facto de terem sido, outrora, o espaço comum de habitação de inúmeros trabalhadores fabris, com um sentido comunitário fixado no pós-guerra, também reflexo das dificuldades e sentido de entre-ajuda social com a imposição do regime da DDR.
