Published: June 2024

High-order thinking skills (HOTS) are part of 21st-century abilities. However, students still need help solving problems, especially in simple harmonic motion material, which several studies have proved to be relatively low in HOTS. Students' HOTS abilities will be trained with various learning strategies, such as a combination of teaching materials and learning models using technology. This study aims to develop an E-ILAU (Independent Learning Activity Unit Electronic) using PjBL (Project Learning)-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) integrated with TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) to improve the HOTS of high school students on simple harmonic motion topics. This research and development adapts the ADDIE design with the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Data collection instruments and data analysis techniques in this study included a product validation questionnaire to determine product validity, an E-ILAU readability test questionnaire to determine product legibility before being tested, a learning implementation observation sheet to determine product practicality, and a topic of higher order thinking skills in Simple Harmonic Motion topics to find out the effectiveness of the product obtained from the pretest-posttest in terms of the results of the difference test, n-gain, and effect size. E-ILAU was implemented using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The results showed that the validity of E-ILAU was a very valid category, the readability of E-ILAU was outstanding, and the practicality of E-ILAU in learning was carried out by the lesson plan, which received a positive response from students. As well as the effectiveness of E-ILAU in the practical category of increasing higher-order thinking skills. The results showed that the PjBL-STEM-based E-ILAU integrated with TPACK was classified as valid, practical, and effective for improving the high-level thinking skills of high school students in Simple Harmonic Motion topics.

Published: June 2024

The process of learning science, especially physics, has often had problems. The problem that often arises so far in the field is how to teach teachers who still use conventional methods. This learning method has not been able to support the science learning process, which causes low science process skills in students. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the laboratory-based Blended-Project Based Learning (B-PjBL) model on students' science process skills. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a posttest control group design. The results of the hypothesis test using the t-test showed that the laboratory-based B-PjBL model has a positive effect on students' science process skills.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study was to analyze the gap in scientific literacy between male and female students in the subject of energy. This study involves junior high school students which differentiated by gender. The instruments used in this study were the 2006 and 2015 PISA tests, which consisted of nine questions and were analyzed using the Rasch model. The data was analyzed using the Wright map, person measure, item reliability, and DIF. The findings revealed no significant difference between male and female students' scientific literacy, even though male students' percentage results were more significant than female students. Therefore, this study shows no gender gap in students' scientific literacy in energy material. However, students have low literacy, with a logit of -0.51, so physics teachers must create teaching methods to improve students’ scientific literacy. This research is useful for providing information on the use of the Rasch analysis model to analyze gender gaps in students' scientific literacy, which has the potential to pave the way for the prevention of bias and the development of more effective strategies in achieving gender equality in science education.

Published: June 2024

Several previous studies have shown that misconceptions are related to student achievement or learning outcomes and several latent variables. Therefore, the research aims to determine the relationship between misconceptions, motivation, learning outcomes, and critical thinking skills in learning physics on Newton's law material. The approach used in this study is a quantitative descriptive approach with survey methods and correlational techniques. The subjects of this study were students of grade XI high school. The data collection instruments used in this study were multiple-choice four-level diagnostic tests, descriptive test questions, and questionnaires. The results obtained from regression analysis show that the correlation is very weak and insignificant in the positive direction between misconceptions and motivation. In contrast, the correlation is robust and significant in the positive direction between misconceptions and learning outcomes and between misconceptions and critical thinking skills. That correlation is weak and important in a negative (opposite) direction. Based on this study, it can be concluded that the relationship between misconceptions with learning outcomes and critical thinking skills significantly correlates with misconceptions. Motivation does not significantly correlate with misconceptions in learning physics on Newton's law material at SMA Negeri 1 Idi Rayeuk, Aceh, Indonesia.
Developing Experimental Competency in Pre-Service Physics Teachers with An Inquiry-Based Approach
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Loan , Nguyen Van Bien , Tran Ngoc Chat
Published: June 2024

The study aims to show that an inquiry-based approach develops pre-service teachers' experimental competency. The static-group pretest-posttest design, an experimental quantitative analysis method, has been utilized. The experimental group comprised 36 pre-service physics teachers, with 11 participants in the control group. Assessment of experimental competency levels included the PLIC test and an experimental competency test. The experimental competency of pre-service teachers is evaluated through video recordings, observations, learning products, and surveys conducted via Microsoft Teams. Following each experiment, pre-service teachers assess their achievement levels based on behavioral indicators in a rubric table, utilizing a 3-level behavior scale for self and peer assessment. Parametric and nonparametric tests were chosen for evaluating the research data after confirming normal distribution using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests (in the case of SPSS 20.0). The article’s main findings determined that an inquiry-based laboratory organizational procedure for each experiment in the General Physics Laboratory course to develop pre-service teachers' competency included two stages (stage 1 with six steps and stage 2 with four steps) under the pre-service teachers’ active self-discovery to perform learning tasks with three open levels of experiments. Within the scope of this article, we have given an illustrative example of applying this procedure for the experiment “Investigate the properties of collisions on an air track and verify the law of linear momentum conservation” in the General Physics Laboratory course for the second-year pre-service physics teachers. Furthermore, based on the test results along with survey findings and spider diagram analysis showed that this procedure developed relatively stable most of the behavioral indicators except for two behavioral indicators such as “Proposing ideas to improve experimental instruments” and “Proposed measures to reduce error” of pre-service physics teachers.

Artivismo, (des)lugarización y re-existencia. Memorias visuales del conflicto armado en Colombia, 2008-2016
Authors: Amador Baquiro Juan Carlos
Published: July 2024

Objetivo: analizar las representaciones sobre el conflicto armado colombiano que se evidencian en las obras de tres artistas visuales, en el periodo 2008-2016, así como las relaciones de estas con la configuración de determinados regímenes de la mirada en el despliegue de memorias del pasado reciente. Este objeto de estudio parte de reconocer que, desde el albor de la década del 2000, surgió un giro cultural y estético a través de prácticas artísticas performativas que privilegia la interrelación entre artistas y víctimas, el conocimiento del territorio, la reparación simbólica y la co-creación con comunidades afectadas por la guerra. Metodología: se empleó un análisis visual que abordó las dimensiones sintáctica, semántica y pragmática de los acontecimientos visuales tramitados a través de las obras; este permitió develar la composición, los significados y las condiciones de producción y divulgación de estas narrativas. Se empleó también una matriz inductiva que permitió triangular datos de las piezas visuales, así como algunas perspectivas teóricas e interpretaciones propias, a partir de campos semánticos emergentes. Originalidad: esta investigación abordó fuentes del arte visual que exploran lenguajes indexicales y evocativos en la construcción de la mirada, como aproximación a la historia reciente del conflicto armado. Conclusiones: en primer lugar, se evidencian representaciones que se enmarcan en un artivismo memorial cuya principal función es la tramitación del duelo frente a la desaparición forzada, así como el uso de recursos metonímicos; en segundo lugar, sobresalen narrativas visuales que develan la (des)lugarización de la escuela rural, situación que corrobora la profanación de sus bases comunitarias; por último, surgen estéticas de la re-existencia que se manifiestan en procesos de co-creación, conducentes a nuevas formas de distribución de lo sensible.

Authors: Zhao Xinmin , Nan Kai , Xing Tongtong
Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. In the context of increasing stress and declining health among female college students, there is an urgent need for effective methods to enhance their physical and mental well-being. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of Baduanjin exercise on the physical fitness and mental health of female college students.
Materials and methods. Sixty female college students at University were randomly selected from 150 volunteers to participate in this study. They were equally divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 30 students in each. All 60 participants completed the experiment. The study's protocol was conducted in accordance with ethical standards and was approved by the Institutional Review Board of University. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants involved in the study. The experimental group received a 16-week intervention of traditional Baduanjin exercise, while the control group engaged in other unfixed sports activities synchronously.
Results. After the experiment, the average weight of the experimental group decreased significantly from 52.41±6.35 kg to 50.06±5.46 kg (P<0.01). Body mass index, waist circumference, and other indicators also showed significant improvements. The step test index in the experimental group increased from 45.09±4.45 to 50.72±4.46, which was significantly different from the baseline (P<0.01). Improvements were noted in vital capacity, grip strength, and sit-up performance, all showing significant differences from baseline measures (P<0.01). The standing long jump and 800 m running performances in the experimental group showed significant improvement compared to pre-experiment measurements (P<0.05). Additionally, all mental health indicators in the experimental group demonstrated a downward trend, with significant differences in 10 indicators such as somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, and depression (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Moreover, there was a significant inter-group difference in motor skills and physical fitness between the experimental and control groups in the 800 m run (230.78±30.61 vs. 231.32±32.15) and standing long jump (1.81±0.33 vs. 1.78±0.42) after the intervention (P<0.05). Furthermore, significant differences were observed in mental excitement and participation in the experimental group before and after the Baduanjin exercise as assessed by Baduanjin’s Self-Perception Inventory (P<0.01).
Conclusions. This study demonstrates that a 16-week program of traditional Baduanjin exercise significantly improves both physical and mental health parameters among female college students. These findings suggest that Baduanjin exercise can be an effective intervention for enhancing physical fitness and alleviating psychological distress in this population. The results underscore the potential of integrating traditional physical activities into health promotion strategies for young adults in educational settings.

Authors: Febriyanti Irma , Setijono Hari , Wijaya Fransisca Januarumi Marhaendra , Kusuma I Dewa Made Aryananda Wijaya
Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. Foot health and physical fitness in children are closely interconnected, playing a vital role in ensuring their overall well-being and performance. This study aims to determine the relationship between flat feet, body balance, and physical performance of junior high school students.
Material and Methods. A total of 109 junior high school students from five schools in Surabaya, Indonesia, with ages ranging from 12 to 14 years, participated in this research. Data collection was through the wet footprint test, stork standing balance test, Bass test, Y-agility Test, and Illinois Change of Direction Test. The correlation of flat feet with static and dynamic balance and physical performance in the school environment was analyzed using the non-parametric Spearman Rank statistical test.
Results. The results showed significant relationships between foot grade and static balance, dynamic balance, agility, and change of direction. These relationships were indicated by correlation coefficients that showed statistical significance at p < 0.05. Additionally, static and dynamic balance exhibited a negative correlation, while agility and change of direction showed a positive correlation. This suggests that higher foot grades corresponded to longer durations in static and dynamic balance tests and shorter completion times in agility and change of direction tasks.
Conclusions. The findings of this study highlight the importance of investigating the relationship between flat feet, body balance, and physical performance among junior high school students. Understanding these correlations is crucial for optimizing the overall well-being and performance of adolescents.

Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. Physical abilities and fundamental skills are essential characteristics of football players requiring in-depth analysis, but the results of previous short-term investigations lack a comprehensive overview. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a longitudinal analysis of physical abilities and fundamental skills development, as well as the simultaneous development of both among young football players. Material and Method. This quantitative longitudinal descriptive study recruited 31 male football players aged 13-15 as participants with weights of approximately 47-60 kg and heights ranging from 146-164 cm. In addition, the instruments used to assess physical abilities included sit and reach, 30-meter sprint, vertical jump, MFT, arrowhead, as well as ball catching and throwing, while dribbling, passing, and receiving were applied for fundamental skills. Collected data were subjected to the Wilcoxon test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Post Hoc analysis performed using SPSS 23. Result. Wilcoxon test results showed that significance levels of 0.000-0.024 < 0.05 were obtained for physical abilities including flexibility, coordination, speed, power, agility, and endurance, while 0.000 < 0.05 was obtained for fundamental skills comprising shooting, dribbling, receiving, and passing. Kruskal-Wallis test results showed a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05 for both characteristics. Conclusion. The first and second-semester tests conducted for physical abilities and fundamental skills yielded significantly different results. Additionally, a simultaneous difference was observed between the physical abilities and fundamental skills explored. The second-semester tests particularly showed better results for both sets of characteristics examined among the Real Madrid Foundation UNY football players.

Authors: Monacis Domenico , Pascali Giacomo , Colella Dario
Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. Physical fitness is a crucial health indicator in children and adolescents. Despite the global rise in overweight and obesity, the impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on physical fitness remains unclear. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate: (R1) the differences in physical fitness components and physical activity levels among children according to gender and BMI, and (R2) the mediating role of physical activity in the relationship between BMI and physical fitness components. Material and Methods. The sample was made of 180 students aged 11-14 years (n=90 – male; n=90 - female) divided according to BMI cutoff in normal weight, overweight and obese. Physical fitness components were assessed with several tests: Standing Long Jump (SLJ), Medicine Ball Throw 2Kg (MBT), Shuttle Run 10x5m (10x5), and One Mile Walk Test. Physical activity levels were evaluated with a self-reported questionnaire. A two-way factorial MANOVA was conducted to assess the effects of gender and BMI on physical fitness. Additionally, a mediation analysis was performed to explore the effect of physical activity on the relationship between BMI and physical fitness. Results. Results revealed significant differences in the Standing Long Jump (SLJ), 10x5 Shuttle Run, One Mile Walk Test, and physical activity levels, with moderate to large effect sizes observed. Males demonstrated higher levels of physical fitness and physical activity levels (PAL) compared to females. Individuals of normal weight were generally more active and stronger than their overweight and obese peers. Mediation analysis revealed that physical activity completely mediates the relationship between BMI and physical fitness components. Conclusions. Results from the present study suggest that the development of physical fitness is not solely determined by BMI, but also depends on the daily practice of physical activity. Future research is needed to assess the effect of physical activity in mediating and moderating the relationship between obesity and physical fitness.

Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. The development of coordination abilities in young schoolchildren is crucial for their physical and psychological health, as well as academic success. In the contemporary educational environment, there is insufficient attention to the systematic and targeted development of these abilities through the integration of physical activity into the learning process. The purpose of this study is to develop and test a comprehensive program aimed at developing the coordination abilities of young schoolchildren through the use of rhythmic and choreographic means.
Materials and Methods. The study involved fourth-grade students (n=40), including 20 girls and 20 boys. All participants were divided into two groups: a control group (CG, n=20) and an experimental group (EG, n=20). Both groups attended two choreography lessons and one physical education lesson weekly. The study lasted 10 weeks. The experiment was conducted in the city of Zmiiev (Kharkiv region, Ukraine), located in a war zone since February 2022. The requirements of the military administration for ensuring the safety of the experiment participants were observed.
Results. Data analysis revealed significant statistical differences between the control and experimental groups across all applied tests (p<0.05). In the experimental group of girls, there was a significant improvement in the "Rhythmic Movements of Upper and Lower Limbs" test (p<0.01). These results were consistent with improvements in other coordination ability tests in the experimental group (p<0.05). Improvements in strength ability indicators were observed in both groups. However, no statistically significant differences between the CG and EG were recorded.
Conclusions. The study confirmed that a specially designed program with elements of dance and choreography significantly positively affects the development of coordination abilities in young schoolchildren. Such a program contributes to the physical development of children, improves their emotional state, stimulates activity, and develops a sense of responsibility.

Authors: Kravchuk Tetyana , Potop Vladimir , Niźnikowski Tomasz
Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. In the context of modern requirements for rhythmic gymnastics training, special attention is given to the development of methodologies for mastering ball exercise techniques with consideration for the health of young gymnasts. The goal of this research is to create specialized exercise complexes that contribute to safe and effective training in ball handling techniques among girls aged 8-9 years, with a focus on their physical health safety."
Materials and Methods. The study involved 20 young gymnasts aged 8-9 years, who were part of basic training groups. Over the course of five months (from January to May 2023), the gymnasts performed specially designed exercise complexes aimed at maintaining and improving their technique and physical condition. The girls executed the proposed exercise complexes twice a week (a total of 40 sessions). The effectiveness of the methodologies was assessed through pedagogical testing of the performance of key ball exercises. The following were selected as control exercises: a large roll-over across the hands and chest forward, a large roll-over across the hands and back, an 'eight' forward with a wheeling hand movement, a high throw and catch. All control exercises were performed with both the right and left hand and were evaluated on a 5-point scale.
Results. The analysis of the results showed that the proposed methodologies significantly improve the performance of complex elements, such as rolls and ball throws. Progress in performing these elements with the left hand was especially notable. It was found that the greatest difficulties occur when performing sets of exercises with the ball, in particular, large rolls and high throws. The most significant improvement was observed in the scores for the "large roll-over forward with the left hand" test (at p<0.002) and the "figure eight" test with the left hand (at p<0.01). This confirms the effectiveness of specialized exercises in improving the technical preparation of gymnasts.
Conclusions. The study confirmed the significance and effectiveness of the application of the developed exercise complexes in rhythmic gymnastics training. It is particularly noteworthy that the implementation of such methods contributes not only to the technical perfection of gymnasts but also to the strengthening of their health. This is an important aspect in the preparation of young gymnasts.

Authors: Lazarev Stanislav , Kryventsova Iryna , Lutskyi Vasyl
Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. Considering the growing interest in high-intensity training (HIT) among the youth, it is crucial to explore its impact not only on improving physical fitness but also on the overall health of adolescents. The aim of this study was to assess how HIT can contribute to the development of physical qualities in adolescents while minimizing the risks of excessive strain.
Materials and Methods. The study encompassed 28 students (14±0.9 years) from a lyceum in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The participants were divided into a control group (CG, n=14; including boys - n=7 and girls n=7) and an experimental group (EG, n=14; including boys - n=7 and girls n=7). The EG participated in high-intensity training sessions twice a week, with each session lasting 20 minutes. The program's effectiveness was evaluated using a series of physical ability tests. PyCharm Community Edition integrated development environment was used for the analysis and visualization of the obtained data. The software code was written in Python. The experiment was conducted in Kharkiv (Ukraine), located in a war zone since February 2022. The requirements of the military administration for ensuring the safety of experiment participants were observed.
Results. After the training program, boys from the EG showed improvement in tests on speed, coordination, and motor skills (p<0.05). Girls in the EG demonstrated significant improvement in the "Sit-up from a sitting position in 30 seconds" test (p<0.05), as well as improvements in speed and coordination tests.
Conclusions. High-intensity workouts can be effectively integrated into the physical education program for teenagers, provided that caution is exercised and the workload is monitored. The results confirm that such an approach contributes to the development of physical qualities and supports the health of teenagers. This suggests a nuanced understanding of how such programs can be optimized for different genders to enhance physical education outcomes.

Authors: Popovych Julia , Nesen Olena , Prusik Krzysztof , Lutskyi Vasyl
Published: June 2024

Background and Study Aim. Soccer activities are a good means of physical activity for high school students. However, the living conditions of teenagers in war zones necessitate organizing education in an online format. Overall, this affects the physical fitness of adolescents. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of soccer exercises on the physical fitness indicators of high school students under the conditions of online learning.
Material and Methods. The study involved 21 high school students (15-16 years old, n=16 boys; n=5 girls). To assess physical fitness indicators, standardized tests were used, including the Bondarevsky test and the Yarotsky test.
Results. A significant improvement in coordination abilities was observed in boys: according to the Bondarevsky test (t=2.16, p<0.05) and the Yarotsky test (t=2.18, p<0.05). There were also statistically significant changes in the level of endurance: in the "running around the perimeter of a 15 x 15 m square" test (t=2.08, p<0.05) and when performing the "Burpee" test (t=2.45, p<0.01). The abilities of girls almost did not change, which may be related to their low interest in football.
Conclusions. The introduction of specific football exercises in remote physical education lessons can contribute to the improvement of the physical fitness of high school students, especially boys.

Background and Study Aim. CrossFit represents a high-intensity functional training that has recently gained popularity among the youth. At the same time, restrictions imposed by military actions require different approaches to organizing CrossFit sessions. The most acceptable solution in such a situation is online education and training. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of CrossFit sessions within the framework of remote physical education on the physical fitness indicators of high school students.
Materials and Methods. The study involved 27 students (aged 15-16 years) from a 10th-grade class at a school located in a war conflict zone (Kharkiv, Ukraine). The group consisted of 11 boys and 16 girls. Due to the military conflict and corresponding restrictions, physical education was conducted remotely. Physical education classes were held three times a week, lasting 45 minutes each. The structure of the lesson included 30 minutes of synchronous online work with the teacher and 15 minutes for independent task completion. Tests aimed at measuring strength, endurance, flexibility, and speed were used to assess the impact of CrossFit programs on physical fitness. Data were collected at the beginning and end of the experiment. The experiment was conducted over 8 weeks. Testing was carried out at home by students under the control and guidance of the teacher via video link during the first three lessons.
Results. The test results confirm improvement in all indicators. The boys increased their plank hold duration from 48 seconds to 53 seconds, and the girls from 46 seconds to 52 seconds. In the squat series, an increase in indicators was noted: for boys from 21 to 25 in the third series. Girls also showed significant improvement across all squat series. The boys' speed-strength indicators improved from 43 cm to 46 cm. Girls demonstrated improvement in performing "Burpees" within 60 seconds, increasing the number of repetitions from 8 to 12.
Conclusions. The study results indicate that CrossFit effectively enhances the physical fitness of high school students. However, the improvement in girls occurs to a slightly lesser extent compared to boys. This may be due to the initial level of physical fitness and individual physiological characteristics.

Background and Study Aim. The military situation in Ukraine necessitates a revision of the school class organization system. Proximity to the military contact line forces schools to switch to online learning. Additionally, there is a decrease in physical activity among school students. In these conditions, it is important to explore the effectiveness of using specific sambo exercises to develop physical qualities in high school students during distance learning. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of such application of sambo exercises for the development of physical qualities in high school students in a distance learning format.
Materias and Methods. The study involved tenth-grade students (n=15), aged 15-16 years. Data collection was conducted through surveys using Google Forms and testing to determine physical quality indicators. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks (with sessions three times a week), during which specific sambo exercises were applied in a remote format during physical education lessons.
Results. The study results showed that 80% of the students were interested in implementing a new module - sambo - in physical education lessons. Correlational links were established between the results of the exercises and indicators of strength, flexibility, and coordination. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in the test results for coordination, flexibility, and strength, averaging 20%.
Conclusions. The study results indicate significant interest among high school students in implementing specific sambo exercises in a distance learning environment. This is confirmed by the high percentage of students who expressed a desire to practice sambo during physical education lessons.

This paper evaluates how design adjustments applied to roller shades and louvres (namely the height of the shadings head and the angles of the louvre slats) can improve their annual and spatial effectiveness to provide autonomous daylight levels, reduce daylight glare problems, and offer views outside. The strategies were analogous to the rule of thumb that relates the window head height with the depth of daylight penetration. Climate-based daylight simulations were performed to calculate the Useful Daylight Illuminance, spatial Disturbing Glare, and View Factors in a classroom located at a 19° latitude. Temporal maps were included to assess the shadings’ performance not only over space but also over time. Results showed that roller shades performed better when they were applied letting the top of the window clear. On the contrary, louvres performed better when they covered the entire glazing. It is concluded that simple design adjustments can greatly improve the daylight and visual performance in buildings.

O território é um dos principais conceitos da Geografia, e, ao longo da história, apresentou diferentes significados e funções em áreas do conhecimento distintas. O território quilombola pode ser entendido como o meio que permite às comunidades remanescentes de quilombos perpetuar suas práticas culturais e costumes. O presente trabalho busca analisar os meios legais que possibilitam o acesso do território aosremanescentes. Especificamente, o trabalho buscou analisar o conceito de território, compreender os aparatos que possibilitam a posse do território quilombola, bem como entender os meios que dificultam os processos de delimitação das terras dos remanescentes. Foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais, bem como consultas a trabalhos acadêmicos que tratam sobre o território quilombola. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que, apesar das políticas que permitem o acesso ao território, há elementos que dificultam a posse.

Os impactos da crise climática na vida das juventudes da Amazônia, localizadas no Pará, são diversos e desafiadores, tendo como pano de fundo uma profunda injustiça geracional. Portanto, faz-se urgente formulações de políticas públicas mais eficazes para essas juventudes, visto que para cada região do Estado, há particularidades que não são consideradas na formulação de políticas, que considerem noções de justiça ambiental e social no contexto amazônico frente às diversas violências que a atravessam. Para isto, foram mapeadas políticas públicas do Pará que tivessem as juventudes como foco, foram feitas realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, aplicação de formulários, culminando em uma imersão com jovens do Pará em um trabalho de campo ativo. Quanto aos resultados, se observou a presença precária do Estado para jovens amazônidas; o sentimento de (des)pertencimento com a identidade Amazônida; a contrariedade entre mais de 60% dos jovens não se sente motivados a participação política, porém mais de 50% se sentem motivados em época de eleição para a o voto direto; as juventudes da Amazônia são afetadas direta e indiretamente pela crise climática e atravessados pelo racismo ambiental. Para não concluir, se faz pertinente a criação de metodologias que analisem e proporcionem qualidade de vida e segurança para essas juventudes através de políticas públicas realmente efetivas e que considerem as particularidades violentas que vivenciam jovens amazônidas, além do investimento de iniciativas da sociedade civil que formulem diretrizes para a construção de políticas para juventudes pensada por juventudes, como uma agenda norteadora para líderes políticos com poderes deliberativos.
PLANEJAMENTO URBANO E GESTÃO DE RISCO DE INUNDAÇÃO NA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO BACANGA – SÃO LUÍS, MA

Published: June 2024

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o planejamento urbano da cidade de São Luís, Maranhão, no sentido de avaliar a gestão de riscos de inundação na bacia hidrográfica do rio Bacanga. Para alcançar tal entendimento, foram investigados os instrumentos da política urbana e gestão de desastres do município através do levantamento bibliográfico e documental e entrevista com a superintendente da Defesa Civil do Município de São Luís. Na capital maranhense, a falta de planejamento urbano-ambiental e o acelerado processo de urbanização levou a população de baixa renda a residirem em áreas de risco, como margens dos rios e terrenos íngremes, caso de boa parte da população que vive na bacia do Bacanga, sujeita a inundações frequentes e deslizamento de terra. A aplicabilidade da gestão do risco de inundação em São Luís requer integração entre as práticas já adotadas de controle na macrodrenagem com o planejamento urbano, políticas públicas e instrumentos de controle nas microbacias e em escala de lote, constituindo ações descentralizadas. Dessa forma, o planejamento urbano e a gestão de riscos de inundação são entendidos neste estudo como complementares capazes de se operacionalizarem apartados um do outro.
