Limites do crescimento urbano: questão sócio-ambiental e intervenção urbana em São Paulo: estudo de caso

É possível coexistência cooperativa entre crescimento urbano e proteção ambiental? Partindo dessa indagação o estudo busca apreender e explicitar maneiras de pensar e agir, ações e intenções de atores sociais e institucionais diversos envolvidos em processos de intervenção urbana em São Paulo. A análise privilegia os contextos emergentes neste final de século na cidade (1983 - 1993): a emergência da questão sócio-ambiental (a pobreza moderna e o fim da natureza) e da transição democrática (ampliação do espaço público e busca da cidadania). Aborda a introdução da idéia de Desenvolvimento Sustentado como base teórica das intervenções no espaço urbano, discute as mutações da questão urbana e o florescimento de políticas públicas sócio-ambientais no espaço urbano em São Paulo. A base empírica do estudo assenta-se na Região Administrativa de Itaquera, enfocando o caso do Pólo Industrial e Ecológico de Itaquera. O argumento central é que a percepção que atores diversos tem das mutações no espaço urbano e nas questões públicas os influenciam na elaboração de instrumentos de intervenção e gestão da cidade, a partir de critérios de desenvolvimento econômico e proteção ambiental.

Desenvolvimento, pobreza e meio ambiente no seridó potiguar: um estudo centrado nas micro-regiões do seridó oriental e ocidental

This research work intends to carry out a study focused on the dynamic between development, poverty reduction and conservation of natural resources. To consider this relationship to the region chosen was the micro-region of Eastern and Western Seridó in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. In recent years, several studies (Araújo, 2011; BASTOS, 2009) have pointed out that after a period of economic crisis in its tripodproductive, formed by the activities of farming, cotton farming, mining and faced in the eighties, this region of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, has not only shown signs of economic recovery but also improve their social indicators. On the other hand, studies of desertification as the view of the state of RN (produced in cooperation between the Government of RN and research institutions) and the Sustainable Development Plan of Seridó (ADES, 2000), indicate that there is an ongoing French process of degradation of natural resources that is capable of compromising the ability of sustaining such a system. To verify this reality and likely finding this relationship, this work is adopted for this study, the analysis of evolution of secondary data from official bodies such as the IBGE on HDI, per capita income and other social indicators between 2000 and 2009. Here is another time of the survey analysis of qualitative data collected from interviews with institutions of academic intervention in nature, researchers at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) State agencies that address the issue of the Middle Environment in Seridó: Institute for Sustainable Development of the NB (IDEMA) and the Brazilian Institute of Environment and the Amazon (IBAMA) and institutions of direct intervention in the region, as the Agency's Sustainable Development Seridó (adhesive) and the Joint Semi-Arid (ASA). After crossing data from quantitative and qualitative, it was found that the dynamics of the region's economic Seridó Potiguar partially answers the improvement of social indicators of poverty. Contribution by the State in this shared stock transfer income. Regarding the influence of productive restructuring in the region on issues of environment, it is noted that the ceramic tile industry, responsible for the absorption percentage of the population with limited ingress into the urban economy, given the low education, accounts for the increase of susceptibility to the ongoing process of desertification in North Seridó Rio Grande. We conclude finally that the guarantee of increased income, freedom and conservation of natural resources ensures primarily by changing the beliefs and values, especially on the part of the business sector, which use natural resources so predatory, aimed at maintaining their rates of return on investment. And concomitantly, the synchronization between technological change, through the use of new energy sources, and institutional change.
