Processo de planejamento estratégico em universidade pública: o caso da Universidade Federal do Pará

The goal of this research is to check if the strategic planning developed between 2001 and 2009 into the State University of Para (Universidade Federal do Pará - UFPA) was consolidated into its Academic Centers as a management practice. To this end, we identified the planning formalization degree of the Academic Centers, the conceived tools for the planning, the conception and the methodological process used in the tools elaboration, as also its implementation. The research used a qualitative approach: it is descriptive and it uses the case study technique. The data were gathered from primary and secondary sources, through bibliography, documents, and field researches through semi-structure interviews. The analysis and data interpretation were done by each investigated Academic Center from the analytics categories guided by the specifics goals. We used theoretic fundamental based principles and the university as a study empiric reference based on its structure analysis, organizational processes and institutional strategic plan. We inspected how the strategic planning process was developed throughout the fixed period and how the investigated Academic Centers are from the collected documents and interviews. The theoretical foundation was built from three axis: the Brazilian undergraduate and posgraduate education system; the university itself including its singularity and complexity as an organization; and the planning as a strategic management process. The main results show us that the UFPA has updated regulatory milestones, presenting organizational structure, laws, instructions, manuals and deployed management model that give the strategic planning development conditions beyond its administration, i. e., into its Academic Centers. The centers also present those established milestones and develop the basic planning processes of the institution. Those processes are conceived based on the institutional strategic planning and the managers mainly use the procedural orientation defined by the university management, from where the conceptual foundation is originated and propagated. According to the literature and to the research done in this work, we can conclude that the Academic Centers from the UFPA developed the strategic planning practice. This planning is organized and founded and guided the plans and decisions which avoided the disordered management and, according to the managers, allowed the advances and performance improvement. We can conclude that the UFPA built an important foundation with respect to the management professionalization. On the other hand, we can not conclude that the management practice is consolidated since there are weaknesses into the structuring of the technical teams and there is not any management tool for the implementation of the elaborated plans

Centros históricos e desenvolvimento urbano: um estudo comparativo entre os programas Monumenta no Brasil e Polis em Portugal

Both the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century have been characterized as a period of major political, economic, social and cultural transformations. Two of the major consequences of the political-economical crisis of the end of last century are the restructuring of capitalist production, and the consolidation of neoliberalism as a worldwide phenomenon. This new world political-economical scenario has influenced, in a dialectic way, the contemporary urban development. In that sense, "new" spatial processes and new paradigms in both urban management and urban planning have gained shape. In this context of urban transformations, the central areas of western cities, also known as historic centers, are being increasingly (re)valued. Since the Second World War, the historic centers urban areas which have great infrastructure and symbolic relevance had been undergoing a process of evasion of population and activities, undeniably linked to the neglect of government authorities. However, in recent decades, the question of historic centers rehabilitation has acquired a growing interest, academically and in political agendas. The object of this dissertation is to focus on how the government of each Brazil and Portugal has dealt with the issue of historic center rehabilitation through programs of urban rehabilitation

Habitus e territorialidade na composição da dinâmica imobiliária em Natal/RN

Many have sought to understand the spatial processes, which originate from land development and real estate dynamics, seeking also to build new categories of analysis to put some light on the less evident aspects of this process. The discussion about production of space has been adopted in this study, but has proved insufficient to explain this complex urban reality. Here, it is analysed the ways that, in Natal, the market fosters the material basis for capital accumulation. The research had as methodological basis, the analysis of discourse, having full interviews with institutional agents as background. It aimed at understanding the complex, material configuration in urban space. It thus investigates the theory of practices of existing (private and public) agents towards the real estate market, using several concepts, like production of space (Lefèbvre and Harvey); habitus (Bourdieu); spatial fix (Harvey); and territoriality (Haesbaert). Evidence shows that there has been a process of ‗naturalization of certain practices in the market that has had implications for the production of an urban space that is both segmented and segregated, giving rise also to complex material configurations, including different forms of heterotopies (Foucault). These spaces result from capital s own creative dynamics and of the reach for social realization for different groups of people making a living under different economic conditions of income.

Desenvolvimento local sustentável como liberdade: uma experiência de planejamento estratégico do Grupo de Mulheres Erva Vida

A presente dissertação intitulada Desenvolvimento Local Sustentável como Liberdade: uma Experiência de Planejamento Estratégico do Grupo de Mulheres Erva Vida tem como objetivo principal analisar as perspectivas das participantes do grupo Erva Vida na discussão de estratégias que contribuam para o processo de desenvolvimento local sustentável. Alicerça seu arcabouço teórico, na apropriação do conceito de Instrumental Freedoms (IF’s) , discutidas por Amartya Sen (2000). São ao mesmo tempo o fim e o meio do processo de desenvolvimento. Estão entrelaçadas e se fortalecem à medida que são alcançadas. Essas liberdades instrumentais foram denominadas de political freedom; econômic facilities; social opportunities; transparency e guarantees e measures ensurig social protection and security. Para alcance dos resultados desta pesquisa, foram observados os aspectos internos e externos de uma organização social e análise das perspectivas de remoção de restrições a essas liberdades, a partir de uma experiência de Planejamento Estratégico conduzido junto ao grupo de mulheres Erva Vida, em Marapanim (PA). O grupo foi selecionado a partir de uma ação de economia solidária, desenvolvida pelo laboratório de Etnofarmácia, do Núcleo de Meio Ambiente da UFPA com uma associação de mulheres do bairro Sossego, no distrito de Marudá, em Marapanim (PA) envolvidas na produção de remédios artesanais. Considerando os resultados desta pesquisa, os produtos diretos constituem-se no documento de planejamento estratégico do grupo e num manual de orientação para facilitadores de planejamento local. Esses produtos podem contribuir indiretamente para o aperfeiçoamento das políticas públicas de desenvolvimento sustentável local na região amazônica, contribuindo, em linhas gerais, diretamente nas ferramentas para formulação de propostas para gestão de recursos naturais.

Estudo da paisagem e o planejamento estratégico como bases da gestão da oferta hídrica no estado do Pará: discussão teórica e metodológica

Este artigo discute o gerenciamento da oferta hídrica, enfocando a gestão preventiva das águas e as ferramentas metodológicas necessárias à sua aplicação, neste caso o estudo da paisagem associado à análise prospectiva estratégica. Como área de enfoque optou-se pelo estado do Pará (bacia do rio Capim) drenado pelas principais regiões hidrográficas do país: a Amazônica e o Tocantins-Araguaia. O resultado da aplicação do método na bacia hidrográfica do rio Capim - PA mostrou que a definição de mecanismos de planejamento, voltados à gestão preventiva das águas, necessita de formas de modelamento apoiadas em processos que contemplem os diversos elementos da paisagem, seus indicadores de sensibilidade e atores envolvidos.
