Imagem sócio-ambiental do bairro de Cidade Nova, Natal-RN, por seus moradores

This dissertation investigates how the neighborhood of Cidade Nova, located in the western side of the of Natal, is perceived by its residents in order to understand its socio-environmental image, intending to contribute both to define strategies of urban intervention and environmental education in the area and to consolidate a methodology that addresses this kind of problem. The completion of field research used a multimethod strategy to study the socio-environmental image of urban areas. It consists of: (a) review of local history from literature research, data recorded by the City Hall, news published on the city's newspapers and interviews with former inhabitants, (b) application of questionnaires to inhabitants including emotions, visual perception, memory and local social activities, (c) development of a drawing of the district, (d) conducting focus groups with inhabitants, using as a starting point the results obtained in the previous activities. In steps "b" and "c" attended 32 neighborhood residents, 16 of them being Community Health Workers and other 16 persons appointed by them. In step "d" 10 individuals took part, divided into two groups. The result of the research showed a picture of residents coincident with the image conveyed by the media in relation to the issues: violence, garbage, public policy/social support and appreciation of the beauties of environmental (dunes and Parque da Cidade park). Although Cidade Nova has been regarded as a dirty, noisy and dangerous place, most of the participants say they enjoy living on the neighborhood. Overall, the results corroborate and gain theoretical explanations, as they are interrelated. The socio-environmental image is expressed for instance in the elements dunes, dump, railroad tracks and Central Avenue that gain symbolic connotation influenced by time and socio-economic context. The insecurity and other negative characteristics assigned by the inhabitants and the media are parallel to the place attachment, since the environmental legibility, the time/familiarity and territoriality offer inhabitants the preference for place of residence, setting up their social identity.

Distribuição espacial de criadouros de Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti Linnaeus 1762 (Diptera: Culicidae) em pontos georreferenciados de dois bairros da cidade de Macapá-AP: área endêmica de dengue

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a distribuição espacial dos criadouros de Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti Linnaeus 1762 Diptera: Culicidae) em pontos georreferenciados de dois bairros da cidade de Macapá-AP. Os espécimes foram coletados em dois períodos (seco e chuvoso) e analisados qualitativa e quantitativamente. Realizou-se mapeamento dos imóveis inspecionados, destacando-se aqueles com criadouros positivos para formas imaturas de A. aegypti, além de entrevistas com os residentes locais, a fim de se avaliar aspectos sócio-econômicos relacionados à ocorrência da espécie em questão. No bairro do Trem os depósitos móveis, detiveram 21,90% das larvas coletadas no período seco e 24,60% no período chuvoso; depósitos fixos 22,38% no período seco e 20,59% no período chuvoso; e depósitos removíveis 49,05% no período seco e 48,93% no período chuvoso. No Bairro Cidade Nova as fossas e depósitos de água para consumo, detiveram 26,79% e 18,66% no período seco respectivamente. No período chuvoso, os depósitos de água para consumo subiram para 34,16 %, as fossas se mantiveram inalteradas, sugerindo que esse último seja considerado um recipiente preferencial para a desova do mosquito. Constatou-se que o abastecimento de água encanada cobre 93% das residências do bairro do Trem, e 73% do bairro Cidade Nova, o qual não dispõe de rede de esgoto sanitário. No bairro do Trem houve variabilidade regular na distribuição dos criadouros nos dois períodos estudados. No bairro Cidade Nova o comportamento espacial apresentou uma tendência de variabilidade irregular, sendo possível caracterizar as áreas de risco existentes em relação ao tipo de criadouro. De modo geral, conclui-se que uma das grandes capacidades da análise de dados georeferenciados é a sua manipulação para produzir novas informações que contribuam para uma melhor gestão das medidas de controle.

Por uma "cidade nova": apropriação e uso do solo urbano no terceiro bairro de Natal (1901-1929)

O BAIRRO DA CIDADE NOVA NO RIO DE JANEIRO: A ORGANIZAÇÃO ESPACIAL E SEGREGAÇÃO URBANA NA SEGUNDA METADE DO SÉCULO XIX.

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a organização espacial e a segregação urbana de um trecho da periferia próxima ao centro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, que permaneceu isolado por quase duzentos anos. Após este período, o mangue, que caracterizava a área, foi aterrado e no espaço por ele ocupado foi edificado um novo bairro, a Cidade Nova, a partir da segunda metade do século XIX. Esta forma natural, o Mangal de São Diogo, estava situada entre o núcleo urbano primitivo, a Cidade Velha, e uma sesmaria jesuítica. Apesar de não se encontrar dentro dos limites da propriedade inaciana, o Mangal era ciosamente defendido pelos religiosos que impediam de todas as maneiras que ele fosse adentrado pelos membros da Câmara e pela população que nele não podia pescar ou explorar a sua vegetação, sob pena de excomunhão. Assim, o Mangal permaneceu praticamente intocado por séculos, sendo finalmente ocupado após a expulsão dos jesuítas em 1759. A edificação tardia do bairro, a partir de 1850, vai se refletir sobre a sua organização espacial, funções e nas classes sociais que irão ocupálo.

GESTÃO AMBIENTAL E PRESERVAÇÃO DE NASCENTES: UM ESTUDO PARA ELABORAÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS DE GESTÃO AMBIENTAL DA NASCENTE DO IGARAPÉ DO MINDÚ, NO BAIRRO CIDADE DE DEUS – MANAUS/AM.

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma discussão teórico-metodológica da gestão ambiental para a proteção dos recursos hídricos, na perspectiva de analisar a nascente do Igarapé do Mindu, observando a problemática crescimento versus preservação ambiental, de maneira a proporcionar bases para discussão e apresentação de alternativas de gestão ambiental para a proteção de nascentes dos igarapés de Manaus. Neste sentido, faremos uma abordagem Geográfica das políticas de Gestão Ambiental voltadas para o planejamento e ordenamento do territorial a partir da bacia hidrográfica, na busca por apontar a Educação Ambiental como articuladora desse processo. Ocupações antrópicas às margens de córregos e nascentes tem sido freqüente nas cidades amazônicas, onde muitas vezes, o poder público não consegue alcançar com suas políticas, seja pela imensidão do território seja pela ineficiência dos equipamentos públicos. Nenhuma civilização conseguiu florescer sem ter resolvido o problema de obtenção dos recursos hídricos, matéria-prima fundamental e veículo propiciador do desenvolvimento econômico (ALMEIDA, 2007). Portanto, pensar ações que possibilitem o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas para a proteção de nascentes, em áreas urbanas, deve se tornar realidade à medida que a comunidade e o poder público consigam articular-se e, a Educação Ambiental tem o desafio na formação dessa nova postura.

The studied places characterize for its insecure situation like selling/using drugs, robbery and murder among others. Due to this situation the interviewed individuals were the ones that could be found more accessibly and available in the moment and the interviews were made in the community leader presence of each area. Through the discourse of the respondents analysis it was able to conclude that the interviewed population is exposed to a high vulnerability grade and risks. However it was identified substantial differences between the perception and risks of Complexo Passo da Pátria and bairro Cidade Nova, because in the first area the intervied ones can recognize the high risk they are exposed to in a more emphatic way to the interviewed ones for the Cidade Nova neighborhood. Furthermore, there is a heavy dissatisfaction for the population of the two places about the city hall positions relating to the present problems in the studied areas. It was also identified the strategy development of acquaintanceship with the risk in the research places beyond a feeling of belonging and affection between the dwellers and the places, yet it was more evident for Complexo Passo da Pátria. Though this analysis it was possible to understand and perceptions and the behavior of the individuals or social groups facing the risks as acceptance and rejection of determined risks beyond adaptation measures of living together with the persistence presence of risks. Therefore, qualitative nature researches emphasizing the perception approach are in the fundamental importance in the studies about risks making it possible to offer aids to the urban planning and management in the implement of effective preventive measures and compatible with the population aims
