Planejamento e ordenamento territorial do turismo na região metropolitana de Natal-RN

This work entitled "Planning and Tourism Territorial Management in the Metropolitan Region of Natal-RN" analyzes the tourism and its relationship to (re) production of socio-territorial inequalities in the metropolitan region of Natal (RMNatal) to from the planning and territorial management of the activity. For both, the methodological procedures were undertaken from research held about of literature on tourism, planning and territorial management, surveying and public policy analysis of tourism in national and local as well as the construction of levels of integration and differentiation of metropolitan municipalities in relation to tourism. Besides the shortage of studies on this subject, this research has shown that public policies focused on this sector has come under a great fragility in regard to tourism planning in Brazil and in Rio Grande do Norte, causing the planning activity is a strong array of fragmentation and socio-territorial inequalities in RMNatal

Síndrome de Berardinelli :territorialidade e imaginário

The Syndrome of Berardinelli or Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy, known popularly in Seridó as "The Magicians", it is considered in the world as a rare syndrome and of few studies. In Rio Grande do Norte, specifically, in the Area of Seridó, an important incidence of bearers was verified. Face to present subject, this work describes in beginning the origin and evolution of the referred syndrome, standing out the genealogy of the families of the bearers in the temporary cutting that dates of the beginning of the century XIX to the current days and, later, it s has as purpose to justify the territorialities and the imaginary of the Syndrome and Berardinelli starting from the lived experiences, of the conidian and of the social practices. That implicates to verify as those people they fragmented certain places, like them they noticed her and they were noticed by the society. The methodological approach for the accomplishment of that research is of qualitative order in a perspective phenomenological, ethnography and historical, once the analysis is not just ruled in the product, but it takes in consideration the life history. The analysis presents the way as the depositions they make sense in the context of the study of the genealogy, of the perception imagery of the society before them and the image constituted by them, of himself and of the other. The data, still, demonstrate that the a lot of people's existence with to Syndrome in Seridó happens due to the consanguinities among the families

Acari-RN: da construção do território aos limites da pobreza

Acari-RN is one of the earliest municipalities in the region of Seridó Potiguar in rio Grande do Norte. In this municipality, two feelings coexist: power and loss. The former, justified by the process of occupation, which gave birth to its micro-region and the latter, marked by economic impoverishment, starting from the decade of 1970, with the decline of its main wealth: the cotton economy. From the association of these feelings, the motivation for the construction of this piece of work emerged. In it, poverty and inequality are discussed, in a dialect relation with the territory, through a theoretical-methodological reflection and from the analysis of the data collected in a field research. In order to valorize and enrich the theme and the study of the territory of Acari, it was necessary to compare it with the other municipalities that it generated: Currais Novos, Jardim do Seridó and Parelhas. Therefore, the use of the elements of a quantitative and qualitative research, applied in the study section, aimed at finding the poverty indicators, which make it difficult the development in Acari.

A residência secundária e uso do espaço público no litoral oriental potiguar

Considering that tourism tends to reproduce itself privatizing the areas where it installs, the secondary residence has been an urban element responsible for the private appropriation of the public spaces of coastal of Nísia Floresta. The private appropriation of these accesses, for secondary residences, constitute in an issue-problem of the research. The principal goal is to analyze the relationship of the consumers/users of secondary residences with the public space; and, specifically, identify how the government has been acting and manifesting itself about the occupation of the coastal of Nísia Floresta; as also to verify how the secondary residence has been appropriating privately of the public access of the coastal. On account of the scarce literature about secondary residences and the importance of the public access to beaches for the inhabitant, the present work aims to contribute to the discussion of this theme. The secondary residences in Rio Grande do Norte began in the late nineteenth century, becoming more common in the 90s, when the coast south of Natal is appropriated from local vacationers. In 2000, foreign investment began to be applied in real state and tourism, producing closed developments, served in leisure infrastructure, trade, and hospitality, mainly to external demands. The methodology included a bibliographic survey, data collection and in lócus observation. Applied questionnaires and interviews were performed with consumers/users of the secondary residences, permanent residents and government, respectively. To the legal grounding, taken as a reference the article. 10, of the law 7.661/88 to establish that the beaches are goods of common use . Considering the conclusive analysis of the research, can be said that the right of free access and use of the beach is committed for the benefit of the consumers/users of secondary residences, due to the negligence and omission of the government

Dinâmica costeira entre as praias de Areia Preta e do Forte, Natal/RN

The coastal zone has been studied worldwide with a focus on the coastal erosion. In the present days, much of the world's coastlines are being affected by erosion, which causes great damage to the economy. This work had as study case the beaches of Areia Preta, Artistas, Meio and Forte located in Natal in Rio Grande do Norte. It shows as result the monitoring of the beach strip that makes possible to obtain quantitative and qualitative data, allows the study of the coastal dynamics of the beaches and the Recovery Project of the Areia Preta beach interference on adjacent beaches. This research was guided by the integrated analysis method on the systemic perspective. The pratical procedures adopted were: bibliographic research; fieldwork during eleven months (environmental characterization, collection of hydrodynamic data, topographic leveling, collection of sediments) and; sedimentological analysis of samples collected. By monitoring of the points A, B, C, D and E we were able to find the occurrence of the coastal erosion on their biggest part except by the C and D profiles. It was noted the need for the government to complete the hydraulic fill, as it made only 60% of the landfill planed. It was found that the spikes built on the beach of Areia Preta are preventing the natural transport of sediments that the longshore performs towards South-North. This interference is causing the lack of sediment on the beaches of Forte and Meio and their coastal erosion in consequence

As transformações fundiárias da comunidade de sibaúma-rn com o advento do turismo

The genesis of the research emerges from reflection about the space dynamics of the capital and to the capital. The expansion and the incorporation of territory for capital reveal, in part, strategies of the capitalism production way, which shows the search for accumulation conditions, expanding the alternatives of territory use that is, nowadays, selective and uneven. The present work verified the mechanisms where the capital imposes its practices through the agrarian structure and the valuation of land market, meaning, in our knowledge, that the reproduction of inequalities is showed, many times, by the wide land speculation and the fast land valuation. For this, the snip space will be the Sibaúma community, belonging to Tibau do Sul district, located in Rio Grande do Norte state. It‟s a rural area that has, gradually, changing through the advent of urban characteristics, given the association of public and private investments, both domestic and international. Through the empirical observations, inside the Sibaúma community, it was found expansion strategies, incorporation and appropriation of territory by capital. As a result of this practice, it‟s occurring the land valuation and the presence of a process of socio-spatial segregation, through the encouraging the opening of new subdivisions, mainly for construction of second homes and tourism enterprises in order to meet the demand of a higher socioeconomic level. The areas still available in Sibaúma, constitute into a reserve of value for the achievement of capitalist rent, being a mechanism of capital reproduction. In this way, to studying the socio-spatial transformations, caused by spatial valuation, we turn to the project of social space designed by Santos(2006), from the perspective of capitalist production of space, by understanding the historical process of formation, the mechanisms and the actions of social actors that produce and consume space

Agricultura familiar integrada ao mercado: mediação política e transformações socioespaciais no assentamento rural Vale do Lírio/RN

It s an application about the development of the family agriculture integrated to the market in which is detected the development of the relation of partnership between settled of agrarian reform and the capitalist enterprise. It s shown initially, a conceptual discussion about family agriculture, watching the historical contexts that characterize the expropriation and subordination of the category. This way, the family agriculture is contextual zed in the moment of the modernization of the agriculture, he rising of the social tension in the area of the restructuration of production and the globalization. Finding to understand the agrarian question in Rio Grande do Norte, it s characterized the acting of the state in promoting agrarian reform politics and redistribution of lands. This way, the research demonstrate the reality of the settled of Vale do Lírio, with the partnership of the Caliman Company S. A. in this context, it s emphasized the social geographic transformation in the settler. This way it was realized the analysis of the survey of data in a lot of public department, and the research of the area with use of application form, in 90% percent of the researched group, with interviewing with the leaders of this group and with the manager of the Company. The research demonstrates an analysis of the reality lived by this group, in the perspective the interests of the government and the capital.

Ilha de Santana e Alto de Santa Rita: a produção do espaço a partir do turismo em Caicó e Santa Cruz - RN

Tourism is an activity that uses the spatial objects and also produces and because it creates an economic activity areas for leisure. So for this to occur itdoes need a space reorganized, with infrastructure to receive visitors. And in the process of construction / reconstruction of tourist destination the state comes as a precursor, creating public policies that tourism can develop. Thus, this paper examines the transformation process by which the spaces are aiming to become tourist, and what changes occur in socio-spatial dynamic of the city in which this activity is inserted. The spatial area of study refers to the Alto de Santa Rita, Santa Cruz and the Isla de Santana Tourist Complex in Caicó both in Rio Grande do Norte. The reconstruction of the Island de Santana did not occur randomly, in order that the spatial changes were performed to meet the demand for which Caicó had to perform his greatest social and religious event, the Feast of Santana, which occurs since its colonization in year 1748 and also the Carnival these two events being considered as a strong tourist attraction of the city. And the Santa Rita High was built in order to enter the city of Santa Cruz in the script of religious tourism of the state through the devotion of the patron. The Dissertation isstructured in five parts, the first refers to the introduction of the work, while the second examines how tourism wound to the Rio Grande do Norte and internalizesthe third part deals with the spaces for tourism in these cities, the the fourthidentifies as the symbolism of these spaces influence the transformation and the latter reveals how these spaces affect the socio-economic structure of cities across the events

Paleomagnetismo de rochas vulvânicas do Nordeste do Brasil e a época da abertura do Oceano Atlântico Sul

Na primeira parte deste trabalho foram desenvolvidos estudos de magnetismo de rochas e paleomagnetismo em amostras de rochas vulcânicas do Nordeste brasileiro. As idades das amostras compreende os períodos Jurássico e Cretáceo. Com este objetivo foram amostradas quatro áreas tendo sido estudado um total de 496 amostras em 55 sítios. Para a coleta foi utilizada uma perfuradora portátil que extrai amostras de 2.5 cm de diâmetro. A orientação das amostras foi feita por meio de uma bússola magnética e de um clinômetro. Os espécimes foram submetidos a desmagnetizações por campo magnético alternado e em alguns poucos casos foi empregada a desmagnetização térmica. Atribuindo-se peso unitário a cada sítio foi determinada a direção média da magnetização remanescente característica de cada uma das áreas estudadas. As rochas vulcânicas do período Jurássico, localizadas na borda oeste da Bacia do Maranhão (Porto Franco-Estreito), apresentaram uma direção media em que D= 3.9°, I= -17.9° com α₉₅= 9.3°, k= 17.9, N= 15 e todos os sítios apresentaram polaridade normal. Para esta área foi determinado o polo paleomagnético de coordenadas 85.3°N, 82.5°E (A₉₅= 6.9º) que se localiza próximo a outros polos paleomagnéticos conhecidos para esse período. As rochas da borda leste da Bacia do Maranhão (Teresina-Picos-Floriano) de idade cretácica inferior apresentaram uma direção média de magnetização remanescente característica tal que D= 174.7°, I= +6.0º com α₉₅= 2.8º, k= 122, N= 21 e todos os sítios apresentaram polaridade reversa. O polo paleomagnético associado a elas apresentou por coordenadas 83.6°N, 261.0°E (A₉₅=1.9°) e mostrou concordância com outros polos sul americanos de mesma idade. No Rio Grande do Norte foi estudado um enxame de diques toleíticos também de idade cretácica inferior, cuja direção média da magnetização remanescente característica encontrada foi D= 186.6º, I= +20.6º com α₉₅= 14.0° e k= 12.9, N= 10. Os sítios desta área apresentaram magnetizações com polaridades normal a reversa. O polo paleomagnético obtido se localiza em 80.6°N e 94.8°E com A₉₅= 9.5°. O estudo das rochas vulcânicas da província magnética do Cabo de Santo Agostinho indicou para a região um valor de D= 0.4º, I= -20.6º com α₉₅= 4.8° e k= 114, N= 9 para a magnetização remanescente característica. Todos os sítios apresentaram polaridade normal e o polo paleomagnético determinado apresentou as seguintes coordenadas: 87.6ºN, 135ºE com A₉₅= 4.5º. Foi discutida a eliminação da variação secular das direções obtidas, de forma que cada polo apresentado nesta dissertação é verdadeiramente um polo paleomagnético. A análise dos minerais magnéticos portadores da remanência, efetuada por curvas termomagnéticas ou por difração de Raio-X, indicou na maior parte das ocorrências, a presença de titanomagnetita pobre em titânio. A presença de maguemita e algumas vezes hematita, na maior parte das vezes resultado de intemperismo, não anulou a magnetização termoremanente associada à época de formação da rocha, que foi determinada após a aplicação de técnicas de desmagnetização aos espécimes. Pelas curvas termomagnéticas obteve-se, para a maioria das amostras, uma temperatura de Curie entre 500 e 600ºC. Os casos mais freqüentes indicaram a ocorrência de titanomagnetita exsolvida, em que foram observadas a presença de uma fase próxima à magnetita e outra fase rica em titânio, próxima à ilmenita, resultado de oxidação de alta temperatura. A segunda parte do trabalho diz respeito à determinação da época de abertura do oceano Atlântico Sul por meio de dados paleomagnéticos. Entretanto ao invés de se utilizar o procedimento comumente encontrado na literatura, e que se baseia nas curvas de deriva polar aparente de cada continente, foi aplicado um teste estatístico que avalia a probabilidade de determinada posição relativa entre os continentes ser válida ou não, para determinado período em estudo. Assim foi aplicado um teste F a polos paleomagnéticos da África e da América do Sul, dos períodos Triássico, Jurássico, Cretáceo Inferior e Cretáceo Médio-Superior, tendo sido estudadas situações que reconstituem a posição pré-deriva dos continentes e configurações que simulem um afastamento entre eles. Os resultados dos testes estatísticos indicaram, dentro de uma probabilidade de erro de menos de 5%, que a configuração pré-deriva de Martin et al (1981) é compatível com os dados paleomagnéticos do Triássico, mas apresenta uma diferença significativa para os paleopolos de Jurássico, Cretáceo Inferior, Cretáceo Médio-Superior. Outras reconstruções pré-deriva testadas apresentaram o mesmo resultado. A comparação entre os polos paleomagnéticos da América do Sul e da África, segundo uma reconstrução que admite uma pequena abertura entre os continentes, como a proposta por Sclater et al (1977) para 110 m.a. atrás, indicou que os dados do Triássico não são compatíveis com este afastamento. Por outro lado os paleopolos do Jurássico e do Cretáceo Inferior, embora mais antigos que a data sugerida pela reconstrução, são consistentes com esta separação dentro de uma probabilidade de erro de menos de 5%. Os dados do Cretáceo Médio-Superior se mostraram consistentes com a reconstrução sugerida para 80 m.a. atrás por Francheteau (1973) e que propõe uma separação maior entre os continentes. Com base na premissa de deslocamentos de blocos continentais rígidos a análise dos resultados obtidos indicou que América do Sul e África estavam unidas por suas margens continentais opostas no período Triássico e que uma pequena separação entre estes continentes, provavelmente devida a uma rutura inicial, ocorreu no Jurássico e se manteve, então, aproximadamente estacionária até o início do Cretáceo Inferior. Esta conclusão difere da maior parte dos trabalhos que discutem a abertura do oceano Atlântico Sul. Os dados do Cretáceo Médio-Superior são compatíveis com um afastamento rápido e significativo entre os continentes naquele período.

Usuários de crack, instituições e modos de subjetivação: estudo das práticas e da eficácia terapêutica em uma comunidade terapêutica religiosa (RN)

This anthropological research has as main goal to grasp the meanings and perceptions - mode of subjectivity - of crack users in relation to the proposals of Therapeutic Communities (TC) of religious character. The work emphasizes the analysis of Therapeutic Communities of Rio Grande do Norte state, studying a particular organization, called Anzóis da Dor. I intend to analyze qualitative data, focusing on an analysis of the discursive content of speeches and the observation of social interaction, which results in an ethnographic text characterized by a dense description. In relation to the dissertation’s specific goals, we seek to present a general overview of the emergence and development of Therapeutic Communities – encompassing general and local considerations - and pointing out to the dynamics of religious healing systems of these institutions, besides the principles that guide them. In methodological terms, I conducted the partial mapping of therapeutic communities located in Rio Grande do Norte state; interviews with Therapeutic Communities coordinators, visits, participant observation in one of these institutions as well as some interviews with crack users and people close to these social agents in relation to the Therapeutic Communities and the treatment offered by them

Gestão escolar democrática, participação e autonomia: realidade ou utopia?

This paper analyzed the relation between participation and school autonomy, observing Director actions and School Council actions and if school has pedagogic, administrative and financial autonomy. This is a descriptive search, with quantitative approach, realized in 47 state schools in Rio Grande do Norte, and composed by 292 participants, divided in 3 groups (Direction, Coordination and School Council). The instrument to catch data was a questionnaire and the data treatment realized by way descriptive statistic and inferences using X 2 test. The results show that school administration is composed in great part by women with specialization grade. All schools have School Council and Financial Council, but have not Parents and Masters Association and just one of them has Student Guild. The direction choose process is, in 83% of the schools, by elective way. The indicators show that the relation involving family, society and school stays weak, but Directors, Coordinators and School Council members develop their functions with coherence. About autonomy, it is limited and presents correlation with participation, but the educational system stays rigid and centralizer

Efeito da seca na dinâmica dos grupos funcionais fitoplanctônicos em reservatórios eutróficos do semiárido

Reservoirs are the main sources of surface water in Brazil´s semiarid region. The majority of these water supplies, however, are compromised by eutrophication. A severe drought in 2012 contributed to significant losses in water volume, influencing the availability of resources (nutrients and light) for phytoplankton. The aim of this study is to understand the dynamics of the functional groups of phytoplankton and the factors that affect them during a severe drought in the semiarid reservoirs of the northeast. We therefore studied the Dourado, Gargalheiras and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs in Rio Grande do Norte from January 2012 to January 2013. The effect of drought favoured homogeneity within the reservoir, in relation to biotic and abiotic variables, notably the absence of water supply given the lack of flow from its tributaries (intermittent river). The phytoplankton functional groups of bloomforming cyanobacteria (SN, S1 and M) dominated throughout the year 2012, in both the shallow and deep areas of the three reservoirs studied. The groups were related to high concentrations of volatile solids, total phosphorus and ammonia, and high turbidity. Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (SN group) was the species with the greatest biomass in the three reservoirs. M group (Sphaerocavum brasiliense) performed better in shallow waters with more available phosphorus. Our data showed that high concentrations of nutrients and low availability of light, besides the stability of the water column due to lack of flow and the system´s high residence time, favoured the dominance of bloom-forming cyanobacteria groups, especially those tolerant to shadow

Reaproveitamento de condensado e vapor flash em uma planta têxtil com ênfase no setor de acabamento

This study focused object a steam generation system, steam distribution and condensate return a textile plant located in Rio Grande do Norte. The work was based on the following objectives: Knowing the use of saturated water vapor in the dyeing and finishing processes in a textile plant; To study the various aspects of a steam distribution system to identify the ways in which energy losses occur; Obtain quantitative information of the main loss in steam generation system and steam distribution and to measure the losses, water and steam system; Using the flash steam as a means of cost reduction. For it was made use of the calculation of financial gains made in their respective improvements. As a database for the development of working registers are used in industrial processes, data from utility systems, laboratory data analysis and on-line analyzers, covering the period 2013. Using the principles set conservation laws mass and energy, those data showed that the loss of water and energy in the steam system are significant and that the environmental and economic gains to be obtained with improvement actions are quite significant. Based on the data and results suggest that future studies deem the continuity approach to steam generation systems, distribution and mainly condensate return.

Situações geográficas em movimento nas praias da área de proteção ambiental de Jenipabu: das ideologias ambientais ao território usado pelo circuito inferior do turismo

The Área de Proteção Ambiental de Jenipabu was created by Decreto 12,620/95, covering the beaches of Redinha Nova, Santa Rita and Jenipabu and Campina communities in the municipality of Extremoz, and Africa community fragment, in Natal. This protected area was created in the context of expansion of tourism in Rio Grande do Norte, in the 1990s, in which PRODETUR investments made possible the installation of infrastructure equipment, mainly in the Via Costeira and Ponta Negra beach in Natal by inserting it in the sun and sea tourism route to Northeast Brazil. In this context the beach Jenipabu in Extremoz, became one of the main attractions for those visiting Natal, due to the natural elements of its landscape, its dune field, which is offered to tourists the buggy ride. In December 1994 the excess buggy rides held in these dunes led to IBAMA ban their access to buggy for carrying out environmental study. This measure resulted in the creation of APAJ in 1995 with the goal of ordering the use and occupation to protect its ecosystems, especially the dunes, the disordered tourism. Given this context, this work aims to analyze the process of creating the APAJ and changes in the geographic space of its beaches, Redinha Nova, Santa Rita and Jenipabu, from the materialization of tourism process, as well as their implications for its residents. To this end, this paper presents a discussion of environmental currents that developed in the western portion of the globe, focusing on the need to regulate small areas of the national territory in protected areas, and an analysis of public policies that enabled the implementation tourism in APAJ as well as the laws and decrees governing the process of creation and management. Using the theory of circuits of urban economy of the Santos (2008) to analyze the territory used by tourism on the beaches of Redinha Nova, Santa Rita and Jenipabu, showing their dependent relationship with the territory used by the upper circuit on the Via Costeira and in the Ponta Negra beach and its influence on the APAJ urbanization process. Ending with the analysis of the influence of the materialization of tourism in the transformation of stocks ways of being-in-space and space-be of the Santa Rita and Jenipabu beaches in each geographical situation of APAJ among the first decades of the twentieth century to the 2014. Fieldwork was conducted between 2012 and 2014, performing actions of qualitative interviews with older residents of Santa Rita and Jenipabu beaches, interviews with structured questionnaire with merchants of APAJ and collecting GPS points trades, identifying and mapping the territory used by the lower circuit in APAJ beaches.
