El Turismo Residencial en Valle de Bravo, México. Una Interpretación de su Ciclo de Vida

El turismo residencial en Valle de Bravo (Estado de México) surge a partir de la consolidación de su presa, iniciando un proceso de transformación no sólo paisajística, sino territorial y socioeconómica, el cual además, ha marcado la pauta para llevar a este destino a convertirse en uno de los sitios turísticos más importantes del Estado de México. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo realizar una caracterización territorial y urbana de las etapas que ha tenido Valle de Bravo debido a la proliferación de residencias desde sus inicios como sitio turístico hasta la época actual, analizando su posible tendencia de crecimiento para los próximos años. Para poder realizar este análisis, se utilizó el modelo del Ciclo de Vida Turístico en el que diversas variables cuantitativas y cualitativas fueron utilizadas para ejemplificar cómo ha ido evolucionando Valle de Bravo. A través de éste análisis se demuestra que la zona está acercándose a límites de capacidad de carga, lo cual supone un mayor impacto en la zona principalmente en sus recursos más importantes: el espacio físico y, su alto valor paisajístico y natural.

Spa holístico na esfera urbana portuense: o bem-estar e as leis da natureza

Durante a vida acumula-se, pelos sentidos, um conjunto de sensações necessárias e impreteríveis ao ato de reflexão, por quanto: sem a existência de um reservatório de impressões sensoriais, a mente não tem como refletir sobre elas. Durante a reflexão, temos uma resposta imediata a um estímulo condicionado pelo conhecimento prévio (experiências passadas) e pela identificação deste estímulo com um tempo e espaço em particular. Estas perceções também estão sujeitas aos fatores culturais, portanto, os estereótipos das coisas e eventos do processo de socialização que influenciam fortemente a perceção humana. Ao contrário, a nossa perceção espacial que envolve uma construção gradual e certamente não existe uma perceção previamente feito do nosso desenvolvimento mental. Neste caso, a perceção humana é uma resposta a um campo de informação interrelacionada e não só de fatores de informação individual. A mente organiza esses elementos sensoriais, de modo a formar uma experiência coerente. Os cinco sistemas não trabalham em exclusivo; eles se inter-relacionam recolhendo a mesma informação. Casa sistema percetual colabora com os estímulos parciais entre si e o sistema sensorial com o sistema motor que, em uma constelação fisiológica variável, mantém constante a sensação, o que, portanto, proíbe que o processo nervoso aja como uma simples transmissão de uma mensagem dada. Na época renascentista acreditava-se que os sistemas percetuais estavam relacionados com a imagem do corpo cósmico; a visão estava correlacionada com o fogo e a luz, a audição com o ar, o olfato com o vapor, o gosto com a água e o toque com a terra. Esta intervenção projetual adotou essa relação atribuindo a cada piso uma referência sensorial. Existem várias ciências holísticas que estudam as vertentes que podem influenciar na hora de edificar. Em combinação com os sentidos, os princípios da ciência védica podem delimitar o perímetro construído e as proporções que conferem a harmonia, a base da beleza e a funcionalidade. Deste modo, honram-se as bases da consciência do bem-estar de quem o utilizará. A colaboração do arquiteto ou designer e o utilizador é crucial para determinar as sensações que o utilizador irá encontrar no espaço. com a ajuda de várias referências de obras e autores, propõe-se intervir num edifício localizado na rua de Santa Catarina, entre as ruas Passos Manuel e 31 de Janeiro, na cidade do Porto. O imóvel conta com quatro pisos, com uma cave destinada a arrumos. A proposta de intervenção pretende aplicar a teoria do design sensorial a um projeto de spa de conceito inovador. O utilizador poderá navegar pelo edifício de princípio ao fim, através de diversos tratamentos e terapias, para atingir o bem-estar em cada experiência. O objetivo é despertar os sentidos subjugados pelo frenesim do quotidiano citadino

Los niños de la desidia : Infancia y adolescencia en la periferia urbana

Las discrepancias interpretativas sobre lo que se considera "riesgo social" en la infancia y en la adolescencia, pueden dar lugar a múltiples polémicas y diferencias entre las diversas instituciones públicas que tienen a su cargo la denominada "protección integral de la infancia". Esta noción, que porta una sustancial cuota de ambigüedad, se haya estrechamente vinculada a la prevención y depende en gran medida del punto de vista que adopten los distintos actores sociales e instituciones involucradas. En esta ponencia se plantea reflexionar, desde una perspectiva antropológica y a través del análisis de estudios de caso, sobre las distintas formas de discernir los significados teóricos y prácticos de este concepto, el cual ha sido socialmente construido y conlleva un cierto etiquetamiento y discriminación. El "riesgo social" constituye un tema de lindes epistemológicos con efectos prácticos que pone en juego no sólo los derechos civiles y humanos, sino la vida misma de todas las poblaciones así consideradas, por lo que también se discutirá sobre la visión dominante de la niñez, pilar de la actual legislación sobre el tema

Evolução espaço-temporal da ocupação urbana sobre áreas naturais no município de Natal-RN

In this work the landscape morphodynamics was used to check the strength and importance of the changes carried out by man on the environment over time, in Natal-RN municipality. The occupation of partially preserved natural areas was analyzed, but environmentally fragile, such as riparian forests, vegetation on the banks of waterways, which play regulatory role of the water flow, and the dunes, which guarantee the rapid recharge of aquifers. The impacts of urban sprawl in Natal Southern and West zones Were identified and characterized, through a detailed mapping in the period between 1969 and 2013 the main Permanent Preservation Areas - PPA (banks of rivers and lagoons, and dunes remaining) and their temporal changes. For this were used aerial photographs and satellite imagery, altimetry data, and pre-existing information, which allowed the creation of a spatial database, and evolution of maps of impervious areas, evolution of the use and occupation and Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from contour lines with contour interval of 1 meter. Based on this study presents a diagnosis of the environmental situation and the state of conservation of natural areas, over the last 44 years, compared to human pressures. In general, it was found that the urban settlement has advanced about 60% of studied natural areas. This advance was growing by the year 2006, when there was a slowdown in the process, except for the Environmental Protection Zone (EPZ) 03, where the river Pitimbú and your PPA, which experienced a more significant loss area. The urban occupation affected the natural drainage and contributed to the contamination of groundwater Natal, due to increased sealed area, the release of liquid and solid waste, as well as the removal of riparian vegetation. Changed irreversibly the natural landscape, and reduced the quality and quantity of water resources necessary for the population. Thus, it is necessary to stimulate the adoption of use and protection of PPA planning measures, to the preservation of the San Valley Region inserted into the EPZ 01, and integrate more remaining dunes, in good condition, this EPZ, due to the importance of those remaining on the environment and the maintenance of quality of life. It is suggested, also, protection of catchment areas, such as PPA ponds and Pitimbú River. Finally, it is expected that this study can assist the managers in making decisions in urban and environmental planning of the municipality

Cidades saudáveis e qualidade de vida em Uberlândia (MG): aportes metodológicos para um processo em construção

The current study includes theoretical and methodological reflections on the quality of life in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. It started from the thought that the quality of life is multifactorial and is permanently under construction and the main objective of analyzing it as one of the componets of Healthy Cities's moviment. The theoretical research focused on the concepts of healthy cities, quality of life, health, sustainability, well-being, happiness, indexes and indicators. From the use of multiple search strategies, documentary and on field of quantitative and qualitative character, this research of exploratory descriptive nature can offers a contribution to the studies on the quality of life in cities. It is proposed that the studies startes to work with some concept, like some notions os life quality adequated for some paticular reality, whose notions can approach concepts already established as health. This step is important on the exploratory researches. The studies may include aspects of objective analysis, subjective or both. The objective dimension, which is most common approach, are traditionally considered variables and indicators related to: the urban infrastructure (health, education, leisure, security, mobility), dwelling (quantitative and qualitative dwlling deficit), the urban structure (density and mix uses), socioeconomic characteristics (age, income, education), urban infrastructure (sanitation, communication), governance (social mobilization and participation). To focus on the subjective dimension, most recent and unusual, it is proposed to consider the (dis)satisfaction, the personal assessment in relation to the objective aspects. In conclusion, being intrinsically related to the health, the quality of life also has a number of determinants, and the ideal of the reach of quality of life depends on the action of all citizens based on the recognition of networks and territories, in a interescalar perspective and intersectoral. Therefore, emphasis in given on the potential of tools, such as the observatories, to monitor and intervent in reality, aiming in a building process of healthy cities.

QUALIDADE DE VIDA – UM ESTUDO REALIZADO COM DIRETORES DE ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS

A estrutura política e econômica brasileira promove uma sociedade marcada por desigualdades sociais, gerando indignações e diversos conflitos. Estresse, ansiedade, depressão, mal estar profissional, infraestrutura precária, alimentação inadequada, sedentarismo, (i)mobilidade urbana, fragilidade dos vínculos sociais, poluição, dentre outros, são fatores contemporâneos que afetam a qualidade de vida dos seres humanos. Este cenário merece atenção peculiar quando nos remetemos ao ambiente escolar. Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a qualidade de vida bem como identificar o grau de estresse percebido em diretores de Escolas Municipais de Educação Infantil (EMEIs) na Cidade de São Paulo. Participaram do estudo 86 Diretores de Escolas, correspondendo a 16,04% do total de diretores de EMEIs da Rede Municipal de Educação (RME). Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Questionário sociodemográfico, Instrumento de Avaliação de Qualidade de Vida-abreviado - WHOQOL-bref e a Escala de Estresse Percebido – PSS. Os resultados revelaram que, em média, 70,9% possuem uma excessiva rotina de trabalho, caracterizadas por: chegar mais cedo e/ou sair mais tarde do expediente normal; receber e/ou fazer ligações, mensagens, e-mails ou similares, relacionados à direção, fora do expediente de trabalho e levar serviços para casa e/ou se preocupar com questões relativas à direção, após encerrar o expediente. A maioria (60,05%) acredita que as condições de trabalho, enquanto Diretor de Escola influenciam negativamente na saúde pessoal. Tanto o índice geral da Qualidade de Vida quanto em relação aos domínios do WHOQOL-bref mostraram médias significativamente abaixo dos dados normativos brasileiros 12,7±3,1 (p<0,001). Quanto ao nível de estresse percebido, inicialmente analisamos as frequências referentes aos respectivos níveis. Os resultados mostraram que o nível de estresse percebido se situa entre 48,8% de “às vezes” para 41,9% de “quase sempre”. Este resultado se apresenta estatisticamente significativo (χ2 p<0,05). Com base neste estudo pudemos observar a escassez de estudos sobre QV e estresse com Diretores de Escolas e que a QV se apresentou significativamente baixa, bem como a percepção de estresse em quase metade da amostra estudada.

Influências de políticas autárquicas de reabilitação urbana na projeção turística de espaços típicos de Lisboa - os casos do Bairro Alto e da Mouraria

A reabilitação urbana do património arquitetónico e monumental em bairros históricos tende a propiciar a disputa na utilização/apropriação dos “novos” espaços daí resultantes, não só por novos moradores, normalmente de classes sociais mais abastadas, fenómeno a que se dá o nome de gentrificação, mas também por novos comerciantes, mais especializados na oferta. Surgem, assim, novos espaços de residência, lazer, entretenimento e cultura, entre outros. Paradoxalmente, conforme observado na cidade de Lisboa, a mesma governação local de reabilitação urbana suscita ambivalências, resgatando e promovendo, por um lado, identidades e valores que caracterizam objetivamente a tradição e a História num regime de reciprocidade com os habitantes locais, e, por outro lado, transformando espaços onde os valores identitários se assumem numa função comercial sem correspondência nas expectativas das gentes locais nem coerência com a autenticidade objetiva dos respetivos espaços. Enquanto no Bairro Alto permitiu-se aos investidores a decisão na apropriação e utilização do espaço, gerando-se conflitos entre novos e velhos utilizadores do bairro, assumindo-se a oferta turística como espaço de animação noturna centrada num espaço público de boémia, no consumo de álcool e num ambiente de festa permanente, na Mouraria, registou-se um processo de governação integrada com a mobilização da população residente e forças ativas do bairro, gerando-se sinergias propiciadoras de uma reabilitação urbana defensora da mobilização das estruturas identitárias do bairro, promovendo estilos de vida tradicionais e resgatando o seu imaginário coletivo assente nos seus próprios sistemas de valores. Na Mouraria, observa-se um Turismo comunitário, envolvendo gentes locais, que, apropriando-se do seu espaço turístico o projetam no pressuposto de consubstanciar o seu património numa experiência turística diferenciada.

Análisis de preferencias del paisaje urbano entre barrios compactos y barrios postindustriales en Vitoria-Gasteiz. Implicaciones en la planificación urbana

Las características urbanísticas de las expansiones urbanas postindustriales desarrolladas en las últimas décadas en numerosas ciudades españolas presentan diferencias notables con las de barrios centrales y pericentrales más compactos preexistentes. Con el fin de estudiar cómo son percibidas por los ciudadanos de Vitoria-Gasteiz dichas diferencias urbanísticas, se realizaron 250 encuestas a residentes en los barrios compactos de la ciudad sobre sus preferencias entre el paisaje urbano de su barrio y el de los barrios postindustriales. Se observó que la gran mayoría de los encuestados prefirieron su compacto barrio en aspectos de sociabilidad, accesibilidad a servicios y bienestar global. Los resultados obtenidos se contrastaron con los de un estudio previo en el que una encuesta similar fue realizada a residentes en un barrio postindustrial. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para desarrollar una práctica urbanística más sostenible y que integre la percepción de los usuarios de la ciudad.

Okupar, resistir, insistir : uma etnografia das práticas de ocupação urbana Fortaleza / Ceará

The objective of this dissertation is understand the relationships built between subjects who occupy buildings in a state of abandonment to revitalize them - called okupas, noting which individuals construct such meanings on the practice of occupation and how to organize the construction and maintenance of a collective life project. Having the Okupa Squat Torém, located in the neighborhood of Fatima in the southern city of Fortaleza-CE, as locus and observed through the ethnographic method, followed the social practices of urban segment. I invested in a data collection revealed that the custom of okupas and their domestic habits, inside and outside of okupa, emphasizing the interaction situations, like most appropriate occasions to observe the constant negotiation and refinement of his cunning to intervene in the city . Among the objectives of this research, the main thing is to observe which senses are assigned to the practice of the occupation by okupas. For this, reflecting from the specifics of this urban phenomenon and talking mostly with the tradition of research in the field of anthropology, I tried to address some issues regarding the practice of okupação and organization of the group, which the principles and movements that make these contacts with city etc. The appropriation made by the subjects on the urban space here means understanding them as a cultural expression of a number of collective values, resulting from experience and perception of okupas like themselves. The intention is to show how this practice intervention and collective action has appeared in contemporary times and how my ethnography can contribute to a dialogue on the practices of mobilization and update of the city, considering the Theory of Recognition Axel Honneth (2003) as an analytical category useful to describe the forms of reciprocity experienced by okupas

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

Natureza morta...edifício com vida: uma arquitetura sustentável para o Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos

Sustainability in buildings, while reducing the impact on the environment, contributes to the promotion of social welfare, to increase the health and productivity of occupants. The search for a way of build that meets the aspirations and development of humanity without, however, represent degradation of the environment, has become the great challenge of contemporary architecture. It is considered that the incorporation of principles that provide a sustainable building with careful choices of design solutions contribute to a better economic and thermal performance of the building, as well as functional and psychological comfort to its users. Based on this general understanding, this paper presents an architecture project aimed to health care whose the solutions adopted follow carefully the relevant legislation and sets his sights on the theme of sustainability. The methodology began with studies on the themes of verification service of deaths, sustainability and those application in construction developed through research in academic studies and analysis of architectural projects, using them like reference for the solutions adopted. Within the project analysis was performed a visit to the verification service of deaths in the city of Palmas in Tocantins, subsidizing information that, plus the relevant legislation, led to functional programming and pre-dimensional of the building to be designed. The result of this programming environments were individual records with information from environmental restrictions, space required for the development of activities, desirable flow and sustainability strategies, that can be considered as the first product of relevance of the professional master's degree. Finally we have outlined the basic design architecture of a Verification Service of Death SVO/RN (in portuguese), whose process of projecting defined as a guiding line of work four points: the use of bioclimatic architecture as the main feature projectual, the use of resources would provide minimal harm to the environment, the use of modulation and structure to the building as a form of rationalization and finally the search for solutions that ensure environmental and psychological comfort to users. Importantly to highlight that, besides owning a rare theme in literature that refers to architectural projects, the whole project was drawn up with foundations in projective criteria that contribute to environmental sustainability, with emphasis on thermal performance, energy efficiency and reuse of rainwater

Todo Brasileiro merece nível A : habitação multifamiliar para o programa minha casa minha vida energeticamente eficiente

This thesis describes the theoretical, methodological and programmatic proposal for a multifamily residential building located in the urban expansion area of Parnamirim/RN, inserted in the program Minha Casa Minha Vida and level of energy efficiency "A", as the RegulamentoTécnico de Qualidade (RTQ-R/INMETRO) for residential buildings. The development project initially consists of procedures as the study of theoretical, architectural programming and cases studies. With the delimitation of a field solution, situated between the reference and the context, proposals are studied to determine the solution and architectural detailing of the proposal. The architectural program was built based on the method of Problem Seeking (Peña and Parshall, 2001) and research has highlighted aspects of reducing the environmental impact and of the program Minha Casa Minha Vida , among others. The design process was characterized by the incorporation of aspects reviewed and programmed, seeking them compatible and have an economically viable building, socio-spatial quality and energy efficient. The results show that it is possible to obtain a building that meets the constraints of the program that provides housing and energy efficiency level A - and many other environmental qualities and constructive, particularly through architectural design

De gata borralheira a Cinderela :nova espacialidade decorrente do desenvolvimento turístico, diferenciada pelo estilo de vida em Ponta Negra, Natal, RN

The transformations economical, social and politics in you finish them decades of the century XX brought changes that didn't just limit to the production system. The flexible accumulation took many workers lost her/it their workstations and they look for her/it new survival forms, migrating for administrative activities, of services rendered and for the tourist activity of small and medium load. The State has been investing in the implantation of plans of tourist development in order to create favorable conditions for the reproduction of the tourist activity in Brazil, mainly in the Northeast. A space when it starts to present a predominant economical activity suffers a restructuring in their social and economical relationships. The restructuring of these relationships takes to the construction of a new espacialidade. In the city of Christmas, in Rio Grande do Norte, the neighborhood of Black Tip is the most representative of the public investments for the tourist development. After intense process of tourist urbanization, Black Tip passed interfering in the global context consolidating as the tourist locus in the city. The tourist urbanization of the neighborhood took to the transformation of the space in merchandise that is sold and consumed as such. The recreation of fragments of other cultures brought by social actors, resulting from migratory processes stimulated by the tourist development, it has been presenting ruled social relationships in the informational technology, consumption of global goods and in the fragmentation of the urban space characterized by the internationalization and cosmopolitização. That process has been masking the inequalities partners and cultural as well as the territorial appropriation for an economical elite. The spaces are being appropriate for investors of the tourist section, private investors, agents and real estate producers, where the inequality is not just economical, but also cultural. The local population, mainly of the urban fraction of the Town of Black Tip, it doesn't participate of the productive process in function of the little or any professional qualification and he/she doesn't also have access to the consumption process. To the native ones it remains the fight for the preservation of his/her cultural identity and for the survival

Uma cidade em transformação: a influência da atividade do crediário nas mudanças da paisagem urbana de Tenente Ananias-RN

Studies on the urban landscape and on the changes of the urban space are relevant, since they reveal the economic dynamics and the way of life in the cities. Research on small towns, in particular, can display particular aspects and by so doing broaden the comprehension of this theme. The purpose of this research is to analyze the changes in the urban landscape and in the way of life of the inhabitants of the town of Tenente Ananias-RN that have been taking place since the 1990s up to the present (2013) and which result mainly from the commercial activity of crediário. The study is, therefore, a reflection on the impact of crediário economy on the urban landscape and on the way of life of a small town located in the hinterland of the State of Rio Grande do Norte. For this reason, it was necessary to study the landscape and the way of life found in Tenente Ananias in two moments: a) before the rise of the crediário, a period of time ranging from the town‟s initial emergence until the beginning of the 1990s; b) during the progress of crediário activity, from the beginning of the 1990s, when it starts, up to the present (2013). For this research, primary data (interviews, local survey visits) and secondary data (books, articles, reports, census data) were used. As a result of this study, it was possible to conclude that crediário plays a fundamental role for the explanation of the changes taking place in Tenente Ananias-RN, especially in the urban landscape and in the way of life of people. We have attempted, through this research, to contribute to the studies of a historical, social and economic process related to the urban landscape and space of a small town in the State of Rio Grande do Norte
