O city marketing em Natal/RN e a construção da imagem da cidade

The growing importance of tourism in overall economic activity worldwide has favored the intensification of competition among cities that seek to create environments attractive to tourists and potential investors. It has been common practice to import characteristics of the business environment in the public management of cities. The city marketing is a key tool used by public leaders to promote a linkage between the tourism image and urban image and involves, in addition to promoting the image of the city, the planning of interventions in urban space, trying to formulate a positive image of the city able to facilitate the deployment of capital. This research seeks to understand the nature of city marketing as part of contemporary urban management and analyzes how is its application in decisions concerning the promotion of tourism in Natal/RN. The approach of this research is qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, in which respondents were the main leaders of two of the official tourism site, the Empresa Potiguar de Promoção Turística and the Secretaria Municipal de Turismo e Desenvolvimento Econômico. It was found that there is a strong articulation of public power with private enterprise in the design and conduct of the actions of urban marketing, that from the survey data show that the behavior of target markets provide guidelines for taking strategic decisions relating to tourism. Sun and sea are some key elements explored to form the image of Natal and to authorize the sale of the city as a tropical paradise. However, there is an increase in the diversification of tourism products, seeking to increase flow to the segments of ecotourism, adventure, business and culture. It s also growing the use of local culture as a tourism product, however, the cultural representation focuses on superficial values and does not bring to light the social and historical richness that the city has. Public authorities use the city marketing strategies as a means able to maximize the attractiveness of Natal urban space to investors, business groups and tourists. It can be observed that urban managers seek solutions that can continuously increase the tours, which often manifests in interventions that focus the tourist areas of the city, in oposition of those who do not contribute to a positive reading of the city, which ultimately generate the worsening of spacial and social inequalities

Atualmente, um dos aspectos da gestão da informação que se encontra em evidência é o da arquitetura empresarial, entendida como o conjunto de políticas e escolhas técnicas de padronização e integração para viabilizar as estratégias de negócios da organização.

A influência dessa abordagem induz a organização a desenvolver um alicerce de execução com o interesse de suportar com maior eficiência sua estratégia e obter agilidade em seus processos de negócio. A análise da integração desses dois sistemas, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, no âmbito da UFRN possibilitou a percepção da necessidade de uma estruturação dos processos de TI a partir de uma arquitetura que favoreça um melhor alinhamento das capacidades de TI aos objetivos da organização. A ausência de um modelo operacional pode comprometer a eficiência do Sistema Integrado de Gestão das Atividades Acadêmicas (SIGAA) da UFRN na realização do seu objetivo como plataforma única de gestão das informações da universidade
