Feira livre de Macaíba/RN : um estudo das modificações na dinâmica socioespacial (1960/2006)

The objective of the current piece of research is to reflect upon the diverse changes that have occurred in the social and spatial dynamics of the Macaíba fair in the period between 1960 and 2006. During the second half of the 19th century, Macaíba had in the commerce one of this principle economic base a contribution for which the city became one of the main commercial warehouses of the East coast of the Rio Grande do Norte region. This helped lead to the growth of Macaíba s fair, which proved to be one of the most important existing in the state until the 1970 s. In the last two decades of the 20th century, certain elements represented challenges to the fair at Macaíba. These challenges stimulated substantial changes in the fair s dynamics which include the growth and expansion of the commercial and service sector, primarily though supermarkets; consolidation among the commercial and distribution networks, represented by the Central Office of Supply of the Rio Grande do Norte S/A (Ceasa/RN), by the wholesale and refrigeration companies; and the modernization of transportation methods, which permitted an expanded reach for these networks. Even with all these changes, the fair continues to be one of the strongest aspects of the city being the center of resistance against the surge of new forms of commerce and consumption in the city (notable the supermarkets) and the diffusion of other aspects of globalization. The fair has economic importance, as it offers a popular marketplace for the commercialization of very different products and a means for supplying goods to the residents of the city and the rural communities of Macaíba and the surrounding municipalities; and socio-cultural importance in that the fair is a place where popular tradition is expressed, a place where a great number of parallel activities occur, a place for meeting again and again, of conversations, of manifestations of culture and art, and of socialization in all of its dimensions

OS PAPÉIS REGIONAIS DE DOURADOS-MS-BRASIL E A DINAMICA SOCIOESPACIAL URBANA

Dourados-MS-Brasil, destaca-se como pólo regional, atraindo fluxos, comerciais e de serviços. A partir de 1970, expandiu-se na região um sistema agrícola ligado ao que Santos (1993) denominou de meio técnico-científico-informacional. Esse processo, se, por um lado, desencadeou o crescimento de segmentos socioprofissionais qualificados, também causou a expropriação dos pequenos proprietários e trabalhadores rurais, intensificando as contradições. Em face da demanda da agricultura mecanizada por produtos e serviços, a cidade também vivencia um processo de redefinição de papéis, funções e conteúdo, reforçando sua condição de principal centro urbano regional. Segundo os dados da Regic, entre 2001 e 2007, Dourados amplia sua interação regional, em um raio de mais de 200 km. A configuração geográfica do município fortalece o seu papel de centro educacional, possuindo cinco instituições de ensino superior. No setor de saúde conta 05 hospitais, atendendo várias cidades da região, outros estados (sobretudo Paraná) e até do Paraguai. Duas particularidades merecem ser destacadas: A fronteira Brasil-Paraguai, que confere especificidades à dinâmica socioespacial urbana. A presença da reserva indígena, que abriga os grupos indígenas Guarani (Ñandéva e Kaiowa) e Terena. Atualmente a cidade possui 23 áreas de ocupação “irregular” e a dificuldade de acesso a terra tem ampliado as desigualdades socioespaciais.

De baixo para cima: implicações socioespaciais da transferência da feira livre na (re)produção do espaço urbano de Nova Cruz-RN (1991-2010)

The present work is about the reproduction of the urban area of Nova Cruz RN, with the objective of analyzing the social and spatial implications of the relocation of the main street market in the city from 1991 on. Nowadays, the city of Nova Cruz takes over importance in the potiguar social and spatial scenario due to its condition of central city which is practiced for decades in Potiguar Agreste Microregion. Beginning with its formation process connected with traveler‟s hostel which assisted the activity of cattle transportation, further in time by the golden era of cotton production in its territory, it was noticed that its importance in relation with the nearby towns has been happening differently throughout time. From the year 1991 on, the town of Nova Cruz has gone through a territory restructuring of its urban area due to the relocation of the open market from Downtown neighborhood to São Sebastião neighborhood. Such territorial movement resulted in a reformation of the town‟s urban space, promoting in both neighborhoods urban growth and the expansion of commercial activity associated with the migration of the commercial center of the city. The transference of the commercial area has caused these processes through the new uses of the land towards the São Sebastião region, it has also caused a decrease in market value of the downtown area as a result of the breakdown of previous existing business activities, their service contribution and the citizen migration, establishing a space and socioeconomic portrait in the neighborhood. From this context, our analysis seeks to understand the social and spatial impacts occurred in Downtown neighborhood, the way in which the production and reproduction of the urban space in São Sebastião neighborhood and the implications resulted from the actions of the administrative power in restructuring of the urban space of Nova Cruz. In order to do so, a bibliographical research was used to compose our theoretic-conceptual mark, discussing the matter with authors such as Roberto Lobato Corrêa, Ana Fani, Milton Santos, Manuel Castells e Heri Lefvbre, among others, discussing on the subject of urban analysis, the concepts of urban space and the process of reproduction of the urban space. A field research was utilized in our area of study by means of primary data gathering through interviews, questionnaire and photographic register. Secondary data gathering was also obtained by means of bibliographical and documental research related to our study object. By these means, it was sought to contribute to the understanding of the urban space through its production and reproduction based upon the discovery of social and spatial practices

Reprodução do capital e metamorfoses espaciais : um estudo da verticalização de Ponta Negra, Natal/RN

The broach presented in this dissertation, linked to post graduate Geography´s of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN, more exactly about the research group entitled interdisciplinary studies unit on space and housing built . The research developed through this study has this central theme on vertical grounding of the construction in the neighborhood of ponta negra in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Realizing this momentum as a way of accumulation of capital in city. Rio Grande do Norte´s city. During the 2000 s , the neighborhood of Ponta Negra went through an intense process of vertical integration of its ground, Provided by many factor of conditions created from new economic, political and social functions which start to be outlined mainly from the tourism development in this neighborhood since the 80´s decade.

The Methodology adopted pervades for secondary and primary research, compound for bibliographic research, documentary, journal, magazines, camp research and interview, to reach the best way to analyse the dynamics of the refered neighborhood

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.

A expansão do mercado imobiliário em Mossoró: acumulação capitalista e o aprofundamento das contradições socioespaciais

The housing market in Mossoró Rio Grande do Norte (RN) - Brazil have expanded at present moment, causing important changes in the economy and altering the configuration of urban space in the city. However, the effects of this process adversely affect the poor population of the city, creating a series of social problems. This process becomes still more contradictory with the presence of the Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida Program My House My Life (PMCMV). Although this program has to a central purpose (at least in theory) of solve part of the problem of housing scarcity in the country, in the practice its closely links to the logic of capital, stimulates the housing market, cooperating to increased speculation, contributing thus for the more expensive valor of urban land and buildings, putting up as an impediment to the poor population to access to homeownership and decent housing. In this perspective, this paper investigates the nature of the current process of expanding of housing market, animated largely by funds from the PMCMV, and its implications on the social and spatial dynamics of Mossoró, focusing especially the deepening of urban crisis and the contradictions of urban space in this city

O rural depois do êxodo : As implicações do despovoamento dos campos no distrito de Arroio do Só, município de Santa Maria/RS, Brasil

This study aims to understand the sociospatial transformations resulting from the depopulation of the fields and their effects on the rural landscape of Arroio do Só in Santa Maria - RS. To this end, we attempted to identify changes in the way of life of rural people, their activities and relationships and understand how this process has occurred, its causes and its impact on quality of life and social structure of the population that remained in place. The discussion on the modernization of agriculture is key to understanding this process. This district was chosen as a research site because it is a town that, in the past, had a very big socioeconomic dynamism, and now, according to the bankruptcy of several companies and the consequent emigration of much of the population, the sociospatial dynamic has changed. It was collected data from a secondary source of FIBGE and FEE in order to periodize population dynamics of the district, county and state. The qualitative research was conducted through interviews with the subjects in the field and their representatives, with the help of the Field Diary

MOBILIDADE E METROPOLIZAÇÃO: O CASO DA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE FORTALEZA

O artigo pretende refletir sobre o papel da mobilidade na dinâmica socioespacial da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza- RMF e a conseqüente ocupação da periferia decorrente da redistribuição da população e das atividades no espaço. Analisar-se-á a urbanização na RMF na perspectiva da sua posição na divisão social do trabalho, a luz do contexto brasileiro e mundial, contemporâneo. Utiliza-se dados do Censo 2000, complementados por pesquisa empírica. Como ponto de partida, tentou-se mostrar o papel da mobilidade urbana na redistribuição da população e das atividades na RMF, tendo em vista dois aspectos relevantes: o crescimento demográfico dos municípios da RMF e o papel de cada município. Como ponto de chegada, mostrou-se que a mobilidade por sua natureza e alcance na RMF, além de ser fator de redistribuição da população e das atividades contribui para a segregação e fragmentação do espaço metropolitano.

ESPAÇO E CULTURA NA REGIÃO NORTE DO ESTADO DO PARANÁ: CONSIDERAÇÕES PRELIMINARES

O trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma análise preliminar sobre o processo de patrimonialização no norte do estado do Paraná. Através da análise do site da Secretaria de Cultura do Paraná, verificou-se que, até agosto de 2009, apenas sete cidades nesta região do estado possuíam bens tombados: Londrina, Maringá, Ibiporã, Joaquim Távora, Santo Antônio da Platina, Ribeirão Claro e Jacarezinho. A fim de verificar quais elementos significativos do ponto de vista histórico e cultural existentes nestas cidades diferenciam-nas das demais, buscou-se analisar o critério utilizado na escolha destes bens. A compreensão da dinâmica das cidades através dos aspectos culturais remete à concepção do espaço como acúmulo de tempos desiguais, na qual objetos novos e antigos interagem e também são reflexo da cultura de determinada época. O conceito de patrimônio cultural ainda é muito atrelado aos aspectos monumentais e excepcionais da arquitetura, ou seja, às construções antigas, às rugosidades que permanecem na paisagem contemporânea. Em função da dinâmica socioespacial, a adoção de novos parâmetros para a escolha do que é representativo para parte da população nos seus aspectos histórico e culturais deve ser levada em consideração, pois muitos elementos recentes também atuam sobre o espaço, possuindo uma identificação com a população.

A GEOGRAFIA REGIONAL SOB O ENFOQUE DO MÉTODO ESTRUTURALISTA: ANALISANDO A REGIÃO DO PANTANAL MATO-GROSSENSE, BRASIL

Este trabalho analisa a construção do saber geográfico no tocante à geografia regional, apresentam-se as correntes filosóficas e os métodos pertinentes, com o intuito de discutir o modo de aplicação do método estruturalista em um estudo acadêmico sobre a organização e funcionamento de cadeias e arranjos produtivos da pecuária bovina no pantanal mato-grossense, no Brasil. Em verdade, a “tensão” ideológica das escolas alemã e francesa promoveu um cenário favorável para a ascensão da geografia regional e o seu conceito elementar, a região. Todavia, esta vertente recebeu as influências de correntes filosóficas e de seus respectivos métodos científicos. Entretanto, o método estruturalista, que desenvolve a noção de um sistema articulado em estruturas sociais, as quais garantem acesso à coesão e coerência ou a outros modelos mais eficientes, é competente para analisar a realidade compreendida na área de estudo, sobretudo o que se refere à dinâmica socioespacial de uso e ocupação do espaço, o modo de produção e a divisão social do trabalho.
