Evolución del pensamiento económico agrario : de los agronegocios a la nueva ruralidad

Este artículo presenta una discusión sobre la evolución de la agricultura en diferentes tipologías de economías rurales (economía de subsistencia, economía tradicional, economía agraria, economía rural y economía territorial). Se especifica, desde un punto de vista teórico, las diferentes políticas que deberían ser adoptadas para obtener un sistema rural más diversificado en el marco de la nueva ruralidad. Las conclusiones remarcan la necesidad de modificar la aplicación de políticas en los sectores urbanos de los países en desarrollo, tendientes a profundizar la integración entre las economías urbanas y rurales.

Gentrificación liderada por el Estado y empresarialismo urbano en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires

A partir de la experiencia de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, el artículo reflexiona sobre la gentrificación como una estrategia de desarrollo urbano impulsada por diversos gobiernos locales de la región, en un contexto de difusión del empresarialismo urbano. En este marco, el Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires impulsó, desde 1990, un intenso proceso de transformación urbana en el área central y en los barrios del sudeste, generando un tipo particular de interrelación con el sector privado que promueve la gentrificación en barrios del sudeste de la ciudad. Como consecuencia, han emergido recurrentemente conflictos urbanos que se oponen al modelo de desarrollo urbano impulsado desde el GCABA y reivindican el derecho a la ciudad para las mayorías. No obstante, todos estos conflictos mantienen un elevado nivel de fragmentación y no han logrado hasta el momento articularse en un único movimiento social urbano, lo que va en detrimento de las capacidades para modificar la orientación de las políticas urbanas locales.

De "la Quema" al parque : Notas sobre las políticas urbanas en la dictadura y la producción de pequeños consensos cotidianos en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (1976-1983)

Este artículo analiza las transformaciones ocurridas entre 1976 y 1983 en el barrio de Villa Soldati de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, a partir de un doble registro: el de las políticas públicas que impactaron en el barrio y las percepciones que de ellas tuvieron sus habitantes. Para ello, por un lado se reconstruyen los cambios producidos a partir de las políticas públicas que fueron transformando ese territorio de la ciudad, poniendo énfasis en la etapa de la última dictadura militar, especialmente en el cierre de los basurales y la urbanización de esas zonas; por el otro, en la manera en que los habitantes del barrio vivieron dichas transformaciones. Recuperar las perspectivas de los habitantes permite mostrar cómo esas políticas urbanas fueron significadas por los habitantes a partir de su experiencia microterritorial y abordar la complejidad de los procesos de construcción y experienciación de la ciudad

Los programas de regularización urbana en Brasil y su adecuación a los nuevos paradigmas urbanos tras el "Estatuto da Cidade": un estudio de casos en la ciudad de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul

En América Latina, y en Brasil en particular, las ocupaciones informales de la tierra urbana se tornaran un fenómeno generalizado en todas las ciudades, hecho que evidencio una serie de problemas urbanos y de ineficiencia en el proveimiento de los derechos básicos de los ciudadanos, principalmente el derecho a la morada digna, con eso, trajo la necesidad de priorización de política publicas curativas, como los programas de regularización urbana, cuyo objetivo es la inserción de las ocupaciones informales en la ciudad formal, con todos los impactos que eso genera: urbanísticos, legales, sociales y económicos. La ley federal intitulado Estatuto da Cidade (EC), reglamentada en 2001, es entendida como un avanzo jurídico por justamente intentar contrabalancear ese contexto, trayendo una serie de principios e instrumentos que buscan garantizar la función social de la propiedad y de la ciudad. Esa nueva lógica, en la teoría, tiene que ser la base de todas las políticas urbanas del país. Con eso, esa tesis tiene como objetivo evaluar si, realmente, los programas de regularización urbana desarrollados en Brasil cumplen con los dictámenes de dicha legislación. Para eso, fue elegido la metodología del estudio de caso, que fue desarrollado en la ciudad de Porto Alegre, capital del Rio Grande do Sul. Primero fue analizado el Estatuto da Cidade, para la definición de los principios de evaluación, luego, fue propuesto un sistema de evaluación, que fue aplicado en los dos casos estudiados: un anterior a la promulgación del EC, el Condominio dos Anjos, que serbio como parámetro referencial, y otro desarrollado tras la promulgación de dicha legislación, el Programa Integrado Entrada da Cidade (PIEC). Tras los análisis, se puede concluir que la legislación federal efectivamente no ha tenido el reflejo necesario, como conclusiones principales se puede citar: que la legislación municipal de Porto Alegre desde la década 90 ya tenía avances considerables, incluso algunos sirvieron de ejemplo en la elaboración del EC, luego, eso puede explicar el bajo impacto percibido; y que el principal fiscalizador y delineador de la política urbana es el financiador del programa, luego, muchas estrategias y dibujos proyectuales dependen de la línea de dicha financiación. ABSTRACT In Latin America, and Brazil in particular, informal urban land occupations pervasive be turned into all cities, a fact evidenced a series of urban problems and inefficiency to provide the basic rights of citizens, mainly the right to a decent housing, with that, brought the need for prioritization of public policy, such as urban regularization programs, aimed at the inclusion of informal occupations in the formal city, with all the impacts that generates: urban, legal, social and economic. Federal law entitled Estatuto da Cidade (EC), regulated in 2001, is understood as a legal advanced for just try to counterbalance this context, bringing a number of principles and instruments that seek to guarantee the social function of property and the city. This new logic, in theory, has to be the basis of all urban policies of the country. With that, this thesis aims to assess whether urban regularization programs developed in Brazil, actually, comply with the dictates of that legislation. For that, it was elected the methodology of the case study, which was developed in the city of Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It was first analyzed the EC, for defining the principles for evaluation, then, was proposed an evaluation system, which was applied in two case studies: one before the promulgation of the EC, the Condominio dos Anjos, which used as a reference parameter, and another developed following the enactment of this legislation, the Program Integrate Entrada da Cidade (PIEC). After the analysis, it can be concluded that the federal legislation has not actually had the reflection necessary, main conclusions can be cited: the municipal legislation in Porto Alegre, since the early 90s, had considerable progress, including some served as an example in developing the EC, then, that may explain the low perceived impact; the principal auditor and eyeliner urban policy is the founder of the program, of course, many strategies and project drawings depend on the line of financing.

Intervenções em centros urbanos e conflitos distributivos: modelos regulatórios, circuitos de valorização e estratégias discursivas

Este trabalho discute as transformações no modo de intervenção do Estado na produção do espaço urbano no capitalismo contemporâneo a partir de uma reflexão sobre as políticas de revitalização de centros urbanos e os conflitos de natureza distributiva relacionados a esses projetos. Situando-se no campo do direito econômico, o trabalho explora as relações entre a acumulação capitalista e os padrões de intervenção do Estado sobre o espaço urbano a partir de diferentes níveis de análise, articulando elementos teóricos, jurídico-institucionais e empíricos. O processo de reestruturação do capitalismo que se iniciou nos anos 1970 teve desdobramentos relevantes no campo da regulação urbanística, desencadeando mudanças que atingiram suas funções e formas, e que perpassam diversas escalas geográficas. A ordem social e econômica que se configurou no capitalismo contemporâneo, marcada pela difusão de uma agenda política neoliberal e pela emergência de um regime de acumulação com dominância financeira, tem seus desdobramentos específicos na escala das cidades. Nesse contexto, as políticas urbanas passaram a ser progressivamente norteadas por uma racionalidade pragmática e empresarial, fechando-se à influência de esferas democráticas e desviando-se da institucionalização de compromissos redistributivos. Essa mudança qualitativa é mediada por formas institucionais e arranjos regulatórios que não se limitam à escala urbana e ao direito urbanístico propriamente dito, perpassando normas que regulam o regime jurídico da propriedade imobiliária e suas conexões com a esfera financeira, os padrões de financiamento das políticas urbanas, entre outras. A partir de um estudo sobre o Projeto Porto Maravilha uma intervenção urbanística de grande porte, e amplamente conectada a fluxos econômicos globais, que está sendo implementada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro desde 2009 , desenvolvemos uma reflexão sobre alguns vetores de mudança no papel exercido pelo Estado nos processos de urbanização. Este trabalho apresenta duas hipóteses articuladas. A primeira é a de que os padrões de regulação urbanística que emergiram no capitalismo contemporâneo não são meros reflexos de transformações mais abrangentes, mas sim fatores constitutivos dessas mudanças. A segunda a é de que as políticas de revitalização de centros urbanos agem como vetores de aprofundamento das conexões entre dinâmicas locais e processos globais, e também como incubadoras de novos padrões de regulação urbanística.

O papel do centro histórico na cidade: um estudo comparativo entre João Pessoa e Tours

In the contemporary scene, it is conspicuous that the patrimony and the culture have assumed privileged positions in urban policies, presenting themselves as instruments for transforming and shaping the aspect of cities. In the plot line of such glowing trend, the competitiveness among cities has drawn more attention, for at present such urban centers garner an image that makes them suitable for economic purposes, thus more likely to attract investments and tourists. In the spotlight of such stage, the cities become notable actors, directed by policies of urban rehabilitation. In such plot line, the historical centers gain more visibility and are converted into venues for staging the spectacle of everyday life. Overlapped in this process of producing images, the phenomenon of gentrification recrudesces. Thus, the discussion threaded about the patrimony gains strength in urban studies, keeping a close relationship with the ways of perceiving the cities nowadays. This work is based on the principle that the historical centers are engendered and fond by urban policies, working as transforming instruments of city perceptions and living. In that sense, the way how the historic center and the valuation assessed to old buildings are comprehended by the inhabitants is largely guided by urban policies that outline a sellable image of the city. In the light of such elaborations, an ethnographic research was made with focus on two different contexts, namely: the historic centers of João Pessoa (Brazil) and Tours (France). It was done in a comparative perspective, for it allows us to trace the main specificities of each situation in order to highlight the similarities and distinctions about the two regions mentioned above. The research aimed at apprehending how the pair redevelopment-abandonment engendered by the urban policies influence on the process of revaluation of historical centers by dwellers and to what extent there are convergences regarding such kinds of interventions, as an object of policies of urban and touristic development in Brazil and France. In order to make this work – besides the abundant bibliographic review carried out in libraries of several universities and institutions in Brazil and France – dwellers, merchants, teachers, representative people of public agencies and former residents of the historic centers of both cities were interviewed. In Tours, immigrants/Portuguese descendants were interviewed, point that greatly contributed to the understanding of the historic center before Vieux Tours renewal and restoration. Moreover a rich research on Archives and Public Agencies was done, as well as investigations on newspaper and articles on the Internet. Thus, in the context of the ethnography in historic centers, it was possible to notice that both realities reveal similarities in a comparative analytical framework

Drifters, Party Boys and Incumbents: The life patterns of male street-based sex workers

This paper is based on a qualitative study of male street-based prostitution. It suggests that the street-based sector is more varied, with sellers adopting a wider range of working practices, than is commonly acknowledged in the literature on male prostitution. Drawing on data from Manchester, England I identify a number of ‘life patterns’ among male street sellers that reflect varied working practices based on issues around rational decision-making and the sex worker’s relationship to place and environment. The discussion has implications for urban policies around street-based sex work but also for a more general understanding of male sex work in international and comparative perspective.

Comunidades tradicionais em áreas protegidas: convergências e lacunas da Política Urbana e Ambiental na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Estadual Ponta do Tubarão/RN

This work presents a reflection on possibilities and boundaries of consolidation and expansion of human settlements characterized as traditional communities that are located within protected areas, using as study reference the State Sustainable Development Reserve Ponta do Tubarão, at Rio Grande do Norte state. The main topics highlight the conflict between the right to housing and the prevalence of fundamental rights of traditional populations, opposed to the diffuse right to environment, according to the regulatory framework of the Brazilian Urban and Environmental Policies. At the same time that these settlements, historically built, are substantiated by the principles of recognition of rights to traditional populations, they are in a condition of complexity to the resolution of conflicts in its urban dimension and lead to an impairment of natural sites. This work questions how the instruments of land use and occupation are defined and relate to environmental planning, especially considering that the settlements are located in Permanent Preservation Areas (APP). It aims to further the discussion of the urban dimension in settlements, characterizing its formation and growth process, to identify the gaps and convergences between the Urban and Environmental Policy, under the foundations of a socio-environmental approach. The results spotlights the conflicts between occupation and natural areas, inferring that the definition of Urban Policies instruments and its integration with Environmental Policies instruments account for essential and priority actions to the achievement to the rights to a sustainable city, as determined in the Cities Statute and environmental protection goals, defined for the Conservation Units

Percepção ambiental do patrimônio cultural: estudo de caso na Cidade Alta e Ribeira em Natal-RN

Contemporary studies have shown that the evolution of the heritage concepts is accompanied by an affirmation of the importance of social participation in recognizing heritage values and in managing cultural assets. We used the Brazilian context to emphasize the challenges for democratizing this process. This problematic is discussed based on the cases of Cidade Altaand Ribeira, neighborhoods that date from the formation of Natal-RNand have cultural assets recognized by levels of government. The study builds elements to answer the research question: what meanings and representations does the culturalheritage in the case study have for its users? The research method analyzes the representations and the meanings of the neighborhoods, firstly is based on historiographical studies, memories records of the city and on the process of heritage management. Secondly, it isbased on the field research, it is structured in environmental perception studies (areas of Environmental Psychology, Architecture and Urbanism) and has been applied with users with different bonds with the studied environment (residents, workers and visitors). The data were obtained with the multi-method which included direct observation, questionnaire survey and mentalmaps (that replicate Kevin Lynch). The analysis of result verified the research hypothesis, emphasizing aspects of the relationship between users and cultural heritage relevant to strengthening collective memory, local identity, contributing to heritage management. Among the results, the socio-environmental image obtained which emphasized a "cultural axis" linkingboth studied neighborhoods and confirms the influences of elements rein the memories records of the city and in the area s management. Identified aspects to strengthen the relationship between the users and cultural assets, such as the presence of placeswith affective ties to certain groups, as well as the need to fight off negative images (of degradation and insecurity) associated to the site and also expand the participation of the population, including residents, in policies and cultural activities. After all, recognition of value and the involvement of societycultural assets have the potential of contribute to integrate city development with heritage conservation

Análisis de la estrategia de intervención social para la reubicación de vendedores ambulantes en quioscos de la red pública de prestación de servicios al usuario del espacio público -REDEP en la localidad de chapinero, Bogotá.

El presente informe tiene como objetivo presentar los resultados de la práctica profesional en la que se realizó un análisis de la estrategia de quioscos empleada por la Red Pública de Prestación de Servicios al Usuario del Espacio Público (REDEP) del Instituto para la Economía Social (IPES) para la reubicación de vendedores ambulantes en la ciudad de Bogotá. Las ventas ambulantes, se han convertido en una problemática social con importante impacto en la ciudad, sin embargo, la REDEP y sus estrategias son concebidas desde la perspectiva del aprovechamiento económico del espacio público en la ciudad, dejando de lado otras perspectivas y evidenciando una deficiencia en el diseño, implementación y seguimiento de la estrategia de quioscos. Se desarrollaron revisiones documentales para identificar los abordajes predominantes sobre la caracterización de los vendedores informales, la estructura y funcionamiento de la REDEP, las concepciones y lecturas predominantes en las políticas públicas del distrito sobre el fenómeno de las ventas ambulantes, así mismo, se explorarán las conceptualizaciones de pobreza urbana, economía informal y trabajo decente, se describe así mismo el planteamiento de la decisión de permanencia en el sector informal. Se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad estructuradas y semi-estructuradas con los vendedores ambulantes para indagar acerca de las ideas, significados y sentimientos que tienen acerca de su actividad laboral, las interacciones que se dan en el espacio que utilizan, las razones por las que desempeñan esta actividad, sus percepciones y experiencias frente a las intervenciones de los entes del distrito. Se buscó acompañar a vendedores durante jornadas diarias completas para realizar un trabajo de observación etnográfica que permitió hacer triangulación de la información. Se desarrolló también, una revisión documental de fuentes directas e indirectas y principalmente fuentes documentales, que permitieron comprender la configuración de la problemática y la forma en que se ha intervenido desde la estrategia de la REDEP. El documento se fundamenta también en un ejercicio descriptivo equiparable al de seguimiento, ya que se carece del acceso total a evidencias que permitan un ejercicio riguroso de evaluación, el análisis retoma elementos de los sistemas tradicionales basados en cumplimiento y en resultados.
