Politika podpory najmenej rozvinutých okresov – potreby miestnych aktérov a ich vnímanie úrovne podpory
Authors: Varecha Lukáš , Fáziková Mária
Published: September 2021

The least developed districts support policy introduced at the end of 2015, unlike previous development policies, is implemented on a place-based principle. Through specifically tailored development strategies, both stakeholders and financial resources were to be integrated. The combination of external resources and resources of local stakeholders was to be focused on priorities defined by local stakeholders. The aim of the paper is to identify differences in the perception of the needs of different regions and differences between the needs of local actors and their satisfaction with the level of support of individual areas of support from public funds in the least developed districts. The research was carried out as a case study of the districts of Rimavská Sobota and Lučenec. The results are based on the answers to a questionnaire survey and interviews with 22 actors in the Rimavská Sobota district and 23 in the Lučenec district. In some cases, there are differences between the surveyed districts in the perception of importance and their satisfaction with some areas of support. In line with the priorities set out in the Action Plans, stakeholders attach the utmost importance to supporting various aspects of business activities. However, these are also the areas with the largest difference between the importance attached and the satisfaction of actors with their support, which indicates policy problems associated with the limited ability of the private sector to absorb resources and limited external resources available.
Proměny peri-urbánního prostředí na příkladu spotřebitelského chování
Authors: Kubíčková Helena , Šlahůnková Nikola
Published: September 2021

The submitted paper refers to a current phenomenon in the form of peri-urban space and its transfigurations reflecting the migration of the population to the cities, their postmodern consumer behavior, or current purchasing preferences. The paper aims to analyze the consumer behavior of shoppers in the local production market, identify key motivations and characteristics of purchases, and secondarily identify the connection with the approach to travel. The methods used include a quantitative questionnaire survey, thus the answers were collected during the field survey by a simple random selection. The data were then analyzed according to basic statistical methods and interpreted. The paper and its outputs serve mainly as a pilot study of a questionnaire survey, so the sample of respondents is meager (N = 94). As a prime finding can be considered the fact that respondents choose the local production markets due to the quality and freshness of products or their taste. On the contrary, price is not one of the main reasons for purchases, even when assessing the choice of a particular product is not a key criterion. Most respondents prefer a vacation in rural areas, not in urban areas, so there is a parallel between the preference for local products and rural tourism.
Ekonomická výkonnost zpracovatelského průmyslu v severočeských mikroregionech v kontextu reindustrializace
Authors: Novák Václav , Koutský Jaroslav , Kubaš Rudolf , Palcrová Šárka
Published: September 2021

The paper focuses on micro-regional structures in the Northern Bohemia, for which the tradition of industrial production is typical. In the case of the studied Děčín and Česká Lípa regions, in the past it was mainly a light processing industry. The micro-regions were defined on the basis of daily commuting data. Firm accounting data available in publicly available financial statements of companies were used to evaluate economic performance. From the relative indicators, value added labor productivity and the average monthly wage were used for the analysis. Surprisingly, an average high economic performance of the manufacturing industry was found in the monitored geographical structures. However, relatively low in the strongest industry, ie. in the automotive industry, which contributed most to the reindustrialisation of the Česká Lípa region. Ie. that foreign investment did not necessarily play a comprehensively positive role here. The typical textile industry in the Děčín region has practically completely disappeared and the whole region shows significant deindustrialisation tendencies.

Published: September 2021

Systematic analysis of the impact of tourism can help entrepreneurs in tourism and participants in local government. Research on the perception of the effects of tourism on the population is useful in introducing new forms of tourism and the creation of developmental programs. The aim of paper based on the survey questionnaires of the events "Opening of the tourist season in Nitra" in 2014 and "Opening Nitra´s cultural summer" in 2019 is to identify the perception of these very popular events by their visitors. Analysis of the results is a reference basis on which it will be possible to identify specifics and changes in tourism in Nitra in relation to the period marked by the pandemic COVID-19. In both years, information was obtained from 307 of respondents through a questionnaire survey. Subsequently, they were processed and visualized in Microsoft Excel. The results of both surveys pointed to the continuing interest in events in Nitra. In general it can be stated that most of the most attended events (except international theatre festival Divadelná Nitra) is gastro targeting a relatively smaller share of cultural content. The implementation of the questionnaire surveys are perceived as a very important source of feedback from visitors, resp. inhabitants also from the Municipal Office in Nitra point of view.
Possibilities of local tourism development using virtual educational trails
Authors: Drápela Emil
Published: September 2021

Educational trails are a traditional tool to bring local attractions closer to the visitor of the area. However, educational trails are currently changing concepts. The classic model of whiteboards with text and images no longer works - visitors do not want to read long texts. They require interactivity and a sophisticated visual experience. With the development of modern communication technologies, there is an opportunity to meet these expectations by connecting educational content with a virtual environment. The article aims to present several different types of virtual nature trails in Czechia and assess the strengths and weaknesses of their implementation from visitors' perspective. The input data are data from evaluation questionnaires from guided excursions, a substantial part of which were these educational trails; the method used is content analysis. The main findings include that visitors accept these new forms of nature trails mostly positively. Negative reactions were more of a practical nature when something did not work as it should. In addition, creating and maintaining a virtual nature trail can be significantly cheaper than its physical form, which is an advantage in rural regions where local governments do not have large budgets. The author of this article is also a co-author of one of the assessed paths; therefore, practical advice regarding the implementation of virtual educational paths is also discussed.
Storytelling as a part of destination marketing in the Trenčín Region
Authors: Papcunová Viera , Ondrušová Dominika , Hudáková Jarmila
Published: September 2021

Storytelling represents a significant trend in cultural tourism, which not only creates a visitor experience, but also increases the value of the destination and also to increase the brand's uniqueness, making the destination differentiated from the competition. Under the term storytelling, tourism includes mainly storytelling in the form of an explanation of a tourism guide, who can use visual materials to diversify the experience of visitors when presenting a certain cultural and historical monument. The aim of the paper is to find out to what extent tourists know the concept of storytelling and at the same time identify which of the elements of storytelling would motivate them to visit the attractiveness of tourism on the example of the Trenčín region. We obtained information through a questionnaire survey, which took place in the period from December 2020 to February 2021. The target group were visitors to the Trenčín region. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that 56.6% of visitors to the Trenčín region have already encountered this concept. As many as 97.1% of respondents stated that they liked the use of storytelling in the promotion of cultural and historical monuments. Of the elements of storytelling, most visitors preferred theatrical performances.
Postoj generací k rybnikářství v kontextu cestovního ruchu
Authors: Botlíková Milena
Published: September 2021

The aim of the article was to identify the level of association between fishing and selected attributes, especially from the field from tourism, traditions or basic functions of ponds, especially the between generation of YZ. Furthermore, the aim was to verify whether there are statistically significant differences between the associations of generations using the Kruskal - Wallis test. The analysis of the questionnaire survey showed that the connection between fish farming and selected attributes with the coming generations is decreasing. More than tourism, the young generation recalls ponds with traditional Christmas holidays, fish on a plate with fishing ponds. These new generations (YZ) will form a significant segment of tourism. For the development of fishing tourism, it is necessary to create products and communication strategies tailored to these generations, cooperate with influencers, use Facebook, Instagram or stimulate demand with the help of fish gastronomy and catch, which are closest to the younger generation.

Published: September 2021

Cities are the backbone of the settlement structure and leaders in local and regional development. To fulfill this important role, they must generate sufficient and sustainable resources to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants and maintain their position in the territory. These resources also include funding. These can be generated in a multi structure. The aim of the paper is to identify indebtedness in urban development. What is the role of debt: "Can Slovakia's regional cities finance sustainable development on the basis of the existing financing model without increasing their total debt?" The study was performed on the basis of 5 indicators by comparative analysis. The results confirmed that the 8 largest/regional cities in Slovakia in the period 2005-2017 after the financial crisis they began to reduce debt and use other resources for development - mainly European grants and extra-budgetary funds (reserve fund). These are resources. which may have their limits in the future
A link between municipal spending on housing and other factors explaining housing conditions in a country
Authors: Raková Barbora
Published: September 2021

Housing policy has been for years pronounced as an important field for urban development. However, cities are rather reluctant to join in, explaining their position mainly by financial scarcity and low competence. This however does have social implications on life of the citizens. The aim of this study is to conduct a basic prove of a link between proportion of municipal spending on Housing and other factors explaining Housing conditions in a country. In other words, the goal of this brief study is to analyse what aspects of housing may be linked with the level of municipal spending on Housing and how. To do so, data about 21 countries from OECD Housing Database have been used for basic quantitative analyses (correlation matrices and linear regressions). The outputs suggest that the level of municipal spending on Housing is positively linked with the proportion of national budget designated for Housing and the GDP level of the country. It has also been found that housing costs of people, who have a mortgage, are higher in places, where municipal budget expenditure is on a higher level. Finally, the results indicate, that where proportion of municipal budget spending on Housing is higher, there the construction of new dwellings is slower and the relative expenditure of households on Housing is lower. Although the results may have interesting value for policy makers, they need to be proved by a further analysis. This study is only a brief baseline for further analysis, because of low number of observations and because further factors related to housing may need to be added.
Univerzitné patenty v EU28: priestorová dimenzia EU15 verzus EU13
Authors: Belvončíková Eva
Published: September 2021

Universities are playing an increasingly important role in fulfilling the so-called their third role in the social and economic development of the regions. One of the manifestations is the patent activity of universities, which is also connected with the so-called the second function of universities - with research. The paper presents a different patent activity of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe compared to other EU countries (EU15). The aim of this paper is to identify differences in the overall patent activity of NUTS 2 countries and regions, mainly in the number of entities - patent applicants. We use a simple descriptive analysis of patent data from the combined patent database REGPAT and the database on universities ETER, while the results are also documented by map output, graphs and a table. The analysis shows that the main difference is a larger number of so-called single patent applicants in case of the EU13 countries, which in addition to the low number of patents means another disadvantage in the very limited dissemination of knowledge from one institution to another and further limits the economic development of the regions.
Provision of public services by Slovak local governments - Case study social protection – old age: A supply demand mismatch?
Authors: Černěnko Tomáš , Glittová Klaudia
Published: September 2021

The aim of the paper is to describe the supply of public services in the field of social protection - old age (represented by expenditures in group 10, class 2 of COFOG classification) in relation to the demand for these services represented by the population in the age group 62+ related to the size and region of the local government unit. The analysis of supply and demand takes place at the level of individual local governments and the results are then presented in relation to the size of the municipality and the region. Two approaches were used for the analysis. The first focuses on the description of the current situation through the categorization of local governments according to the approach to the provision of services, and the second consists in regression analysis. The results of the regression analysis suggest that the size of the municipality and the region do not play as important a role in terms of access to the provision of the examined services as indicated by the first, descriptive analysis. To find a "pattern" for local authorities to decide on access to services for the elderly, further research will be needed that takes into account several socio-economic indicators.

The aim of the presented paper is to synthesize a partial non-uniform typology of brownfields into a logical and complex framework with reference to the content and classification completeness. The synthesis of typological schemes and their objective categorization into standard classes and groups reflecting the general requirements for the characteristics of brownfields that will allow to define individual brownfields in a uniform way and furtherly works with them analytically on the background of standardized categories. The presented categorization of brownfields is based on the already used division, which expands with new groups and factually harmonizes them. Part of the paper is also the definition of specific types of brownfields, such as blackfield, greyfield or bluefield.
Modelování struktur v regionální analýze – segment dat Covid 19
Authors: Botlík Josef
Published: September 2021

Regional sciences are based on specific research methods, taking into account the analyzed factors and regional breakdown. In most cases, the analyzes fail to take into account the links between the analyzed factors and the geopolitical location of the region. The work presents the possibilities of analysis using precedent modeling, through which analyzes can be performed with respect to geographical links. The aim of our research was to demonstrate the suitability of implementing a precedent model for predicting the development of an increase in Covid positive cases at the level of Czech municipalities. The precedent analysis enables the simplification of a part of the mathematical analytical apparatus into a binary form. The data are presented in a selected time interval limited by the closure of districts at the level of municipalities with extended powers (MEP). The research is based on the research question of whether it can be effectively evaluated using a precedent model of regional disparity. The basic method of research is precedent analysis and subsequent mathematical and statistical analysis, especially the determination of guidelines for the development of precedents at weekly intervals. The result of the presented part of the research is a summary of the MEP according to the potential of the Covid threat. The structure mapping in the presented model identified MEP groups, which are local extremes of the observed values. Thus, municipalities that are potential sources of Covid virus infection and municipalities that are potential sites endangered by the virus were identified.

Published: September 2021

Viniculture in the Nitra Region has a long-term tradition and represents a certain benefit for the economic development of the region. More than 45% of the area of Slovakia’s vineyards is located in the Nitra Region. The region is characterized by the highest number of viniculture municipalities, which represents more than 37% of the total number of viniculture municipalities of Slovakia. The aim of the paper was based on selected indicators (vineyard area, grape production and the proportion of vineyard area from agricultural land) to analyse the viniculture in the Nitra Region. We used several methods in processing the observed issues, such as method of analysis, historical-geographical, comparative, statistical and mathematical method. We interpreted the obtained statistical data graphically and cartographically. The territory of the Nitra Region intervenes 3 viniculture region - Nitra (Nitrianska), South-Slovakian (Južnoslovenská) and Central-Slovakian (Stredoslovenská). More than 65% is occupied by the Nitra wine region. Out of the total number of 354 municipalities in the Nitra Region, there are 271 viniculture municipalities, which belong to 18 viniculture districts. In the observed period of 2008-2019, the total area of vineyards decreased by about 30%, the area of nascent vineyards by more than 20% and grape production by about 17%. The highest share of vineyards from agricultural land, more than 6%, is achieved by viniculture municipalities in the south of the Nitra Region, in the southern part of the Nové Zámky district and in the south-eastern part of the Komárno district.
Regionální disparity ve voličském chování: Prostorová analýza voličské podpory České pirátské strany v krajských volbách
Authors: Maškarinec Pavel
Published: September 2021

The presented paper deals with the regionalization of the electoral support of the Czech Pirate Party (Pirates) in regional elections using methods and techniques of spatial data analysis. The aim is to answer the question whether the territorial distribution of Pirate electoral support allows this party to participate in governance at the regional level and thus influence the form of regional policy in individual regions. The results of the analysis show that the spatial distribution of Pirates’ electoral support in regional elections differed quite significantly not only from the pattern found in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament and elections to the European Parliament, but also between individual regional elections. This suggests the current lack of anchorage of Pirates’ electoral support in regional politics, but at the same time, it may have its origins in the second-order character of regional elections and the candidacy of many local and regional entities in regional elections. On the other hand, the results of the regional elections in 2020 meant that the Pirates received seats in all regional councils, but especially in nine of the thirteen regions they joined the regional government (similarly to two years earlier when they joined government of capital city of Prague), gaining the opportunity to influence, with regard to its priorities, the form of regional governance in most Czech regions.
Sociálne podnikanie v európskom poľnohospodárstve
Authors: Gendová Kristína , Chrenková Marcela
Published: September 2021

The social economy provides participation of local actors in territorial development and local collective economic activity in order to increase quality of life of the population. This sector is highly diversified, in terms of legal form, size of enterprises, sectors and impact. After 1990, the concept of multifunctional agriculture began to be implemented in the EU, according to which agriculture should fulfill, among others, a social and cultural-social function. To a greater or lesser extent, agriculture had a social function in the past. This role is currently extended and supported by the concept of social agriculture. The aim of the paper is to examine the scope of social entrepreneurship and agriculture as a part of the social economy and its legal forms and types in European countries. The main sources of data for the preparation of the paper were the European Commission's country reports entitled Social Enterprises and Their Ecosystems in Europe (2020) and OECD analytical materials. Main result of the research is the finding that the diversity of the social economy, based on the historical background of its development in individual countries, is extensive. Legal forms are regionally specific. The cooperative form is the most widespread legal form of the social economy. There are specific types of cooperatives in countries. Cooperatives are located more in the countryside (associations and foundations are relevant for the urban environment). Social agriculture widely operates in the cooperative form.

O Mecanismo de Desenvolvimento Limpo (MDL) é um instrumento de flexibilização apresentado no Protocolo de Quioto para redução de emissão de Gases do Efeito Estufa realizados. Dentre os projetos que podem ser executados no MDL tem os de geração de energia solar fotovoltaica. Essa pesquisa tem por objetivo estudar o uso de MDL em sistemas fotovoltaicos e a viabilidade de projetos MDL. Utilizou-se a metodologia do MDL adequada para geração de energia renovável conectada à rede, calculou-se as reduções de emissões de CO2 e as Reduções Certificadas de Emissões a fim de determinar a geração fotovoltaica necessária para obter projetos de MDL viáveis. A aplicação do projeto de MDL apresenta viabilidade econômica com geração fotovoltaica mesmo que não aponte uma diferença significativa em termos econômicos quando considerado os indicadores econômicos sem o projeto MDL. Presume-se que esses resultados apresentariam uma diferença mais significativa em gerações superiores ao apresentado no estudo.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a flexibility mechanism presented in the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions carried out. Other projects that can be carried out in the CDM have the generation of solar photovoltaic energy. This research aims to study the use of CDM in photovoltaic systems and the feasibility of CDM projects. Use a suitable CDM methodology for grid-connected renewable energy generation, calculated as CO2 reductions and Certified Emission Reductions for the purpose of determining the photovoltaic generation needed to obtain viable CDM projects. The application of the CDM project is economically viable with photovoltaic generation, which does not present a significant difference in economic terms when considering the economic indicators without the CDM project. It is assumed that these results present a more significant difference in values higher than that presented in the study.
Marcas territoriales de la actividad industrial en el Área Metropolitana del Gran Resistencia: consideraciones para la planificación urbana en torno a su patrimonio industrial

Published: September 2021

Originada por la actividad industrial, principalmente taninera, el Área Metropolitana del Gran Resistencia

(AMGR) está fuertemente marcada por su infraestructura desplegada para concretar sus fines, a la vez de

definir su valor patrimonial. Los poblados tanineros constituyen un claro ejemplo de una política económica

liberal, con la inserción de nuevos programas urbanos y tipologías poco usuales. Actualmente, están

rodeados de zonas urbanizadas con diversas tipos de funciones, que ignoran consideraciones a su valor

arquitectónico y urbano.

Se busca exponer la necesidad de integrar la problemática de la conservación del patrimonio industrial del

AMGR en la planificación urbana, desde su reconocimiento como emergente de la reunión de diversos

factores, que constituyen la planificación territorial.

Se considera que a través de una gestión que incluya una visión integral del patrimonio industrial se

produciría una revalorización de las marcas territoriales configurando nuevas alternativas a la planificación

territorial del AMGR.

The Metropolitan Area of the Great Resistance (AMGR), originated by industrial activity, mainly tannin, is

It seeks to expose the need to integrate the problems of conservation of the industrial heritage of the AMGR

in urban planning, from its recognition as an emergent of the meeting of various factors, which constitute

territorial planning.

It is considered that through a management that includes a comprehensive view of the industrial heritage

would bring about a revaluation of territorial brands by configuring new alternatives to the territorial planning

Lo tangible y lo intangible: fragmentos de memoria en el paisaje minero: el caso de la mina de Amiantos en Chipre
Authors: Tsiouti Andri
Published: September 2021

Los paisajes mineros, al ser testimonio de la actividad humana vinculada a la explotación de los recursos minerales, presentan, frecuentemente, características patrimoniales. Las huellas del pasado acumuladas en dichos lugares, ya sean tangibles o intangibles, despiertan un creciente interés sobre la preservación y revaloración de los mismos. En este trabajo se estudia la mina de Amiantos, en la isla de Chipre, que por los efectos nocivos que ha provocado al medio natural y a la salud humana provoca rechazo y abandono. A través de un análisis de su evolución e identificando sus elementos constitutivos, se pretende redescubrir la identidad de este territorio, un hilo conductor que pueda recoser el relato de su pasado mirando hacia un nuevo futuro.

Mining landscapes, for being testimony of the human activity related to the exploitation of mineral resources, they frequently present heritage features. The traces of the past concentrated in such places, whether tangible or intangible, generate an increasing interest on their preservation and revaluation. In this work it is studied the mine of Amiantos, in the island of Cyprus, which due to its adverse impacts on the environment and human health causes rejection and abandonment. Through an analysis of its evolution and identifying its constitutive elements, it is aimed to rediscover the identity of this territory, a guiding thread that could recover the story of its past looking towards a new future.

Atlixco es una ciudad culturalmente rica que ha trascendido desde su creación en el S.XVI hasta nuestros días, por el gran patrimonio tangible e intangible conservando sus inmuebles que muestran su desarrollo en el tiempo. Destaca por tener traza reticular como las principales ciudades de la antigua Nueva España, y a pesar de la modernidad sigue guardando las visuales de aquella época en que era conocida como Antigua Villa de Carrión, lo que hace es importante reconocer, difundir y conservar este patrimonio urbano, pues debido a la pérdida de valor que sufre por los pobladores y visitantes se ve arremetido día a día con acciones que no son las más adecuadas para su conservación, por ello es necesario realizar un registro de las condiciones visuales urbanas actuales para crear normativas que salven sus maravillosas perspectivas así como aplicar los conocimientos que apoyen la conservación de este sitio.

Atlixco is a culturally rich city that has gone throught its creation in the sixteenth century to present day, while preserving its buildings that show development over time, noted for having reticular traces like those of the main cities of the old New Spain, and, despite modernity, it keeps the visuals of the time when it was known as “Antigua Villa de Carrión”, so, it is important to recognize, disseminate, and preserve the urban heritage that is presented on the site, but due to the lack of knowledge of residents and visitors it is threatened day by day with actions that are not the most appropriate for conservation; therefore, a record of the current urban visual conditions should be taken in order to create regulations that save the wonderful perspectives and to know how to preserve this site.

Published: September 2021

O presente trabalho visa apreender a transformação do território costeiro do Balneário Mar Grosso em Laguna -SC, ao sul do Brasil. É o lugar do município onde a exploração do turismo acontece de maneira mais intensa, visto que é um dos principais destinos de turismo de massa da região centro-sul do Estado de Santa Catarina. Devido a natureza turística do Balneário, seus espaços públicos estão sujeitos ao fenômeno da sazonalidade. O balneário tem se desenvolvido a partir de diferentes processos de crescimento urbano que, por sua vez, resultam em diferentes espaços públicos e com formas de apropriação distintas por parte dos usuários destes espaços. Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender quais são os processos de crescimento urbano identificados na formação do Balneário Mar Grosso e como estes espaços têm sido apropriados por seus usuários, através de uma leitura espaço-temporal e também das apropriações verificadas pelos usuários em observações de campo.

The present work aims to grasp the meaning of the transformation of the coastal territory of the Balneário Mar Grossoin Laguna -SC, south of Brazil. It is the place of the municipality where the exploration of the tourism happens in a more intense way, since it is one of the main destinations of mass tourism of the center-south region of the State of Santa Catarina. Due to the tourist nature of the Balneário (beach complex), its public spaces are subject to the phenomenon of the seasonality. The beach complex has developed from different processes of urban growth that, in turn, result in different public spaces and withdifferent forms of appropriation by the users of these spaces. This work aims to understand the processes of urban growth identified in the formation of the Balneário Mar Grossoand how these spaces have been appropriated by its users, through a space-time reading and also the appropriations verified by the users in field observations.
El potencial de los paisajes culturales como factor de desarrollo regional sustentable
Authors: Venturini Edgardo José
Published: September 2021

El tema de la presentación está centrado en los paisajes culturales y su potencial de sustentabilidad y resiliencia en la construcción de un hábitat sustentable. Se parte del concepto amplio de paisaje cultural como resultado de la acción del trabajo humano sobre la naturaleza en los procesos de construcción social de lugares resultado de las prácticas del habitar, en los cuales se sintetizan múltiples y contradictorios procesos e intereses vinculados con las transformaciones del espacio geográfico ambiental. En este sentido, se asume el territorio como un campo híbrido por la complejidad y diversidad de cuestiones que se asocian con el concepto. Aquí se introduce el enfoque de paisaje cultural que, partiendo de una construcción epistemológica híbrida, asocia las condiciones geográfico-ambientales con las prácticas de los actores sociales y los resultados de sus complejas y contradictorias actuaciones en el medio, evidenciando siempre “la marca de una finalidad, incluso de varias, dado que la movilidad humana ha sido grande, las sustituciones numerosas y los medios técnicos variados”. El trabajo se desarrolla a partir de relevamientos bibliográficos y de antecedentes locales, nacionales e internacionales, y su discusión, estudios de campo, para luego avanzar sobre la formulación de nuevas estrategias conceptuales y metodológicas. El caso en análisis es el área metropolitana de Córdoba y el área del antiguo Camino Real al Norte en la Provincia de Córdoba.

The paper is centered on cultural landscapes and their potential for sustainability and resilience in the construction of a sustainable habitat. It starts from the broad concept of cultural landscape as a result of the action of human work on nature in the processes of social construction of places resulting from the practices of inhabiting, in which multiple and contradictory processes and interests linked to the transformations of the environment are synthesized in environmental geographic space. The territory is assumed as a hybrid field due to the complexity and diversity of issues that are associated with the concept. Here we introduce the cultural landscape approach that, starting from a hybrid epistemological construction, associates geographical-environmental conditions with the practices of social actors and the results of their complex and contradictory actions in the environment, always demonstrating "the brand of a purpose, even of several, given that human mobility has been great, numerous substitutions and varied technical means ". The work is developed from bibliographic surveys and local, national and international background, and its discussion, field studies, to then advance on the formulation of new conceptual and methodological strategies. The case under analysis is the metropolitan area of Córdoba and the area of the old Camino Real to the North in the Province of Córdoba.
Urban science between transparent management and corporate appropriation: a study concerning systems of urban assessment
Authors: Grazziano Raphael
Published: September 2021

Urban science is the planning branch that uses large scale data to establish new ways to govern cities, being systems of urban assessment an example of its contemporary manifestation. What Works Cities (WWC) from Bloomberg Philanthropies and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Cities and Communities (LEED© CC) from US Green Building Council are examples of such systems, the first dealing with data management and the latter with environmental sustainability. This paper aims to assess how these systems affect urban policy by means of their evaluation methods. Both systems are presented and their certifications geolocated. It is argued that these systems focus on process, and not results, leading to an ambivalent set of certifications. At last, it is suggested that the same transparency promoted by these systems in their candidates’ assessment should be applied to themselves, in order to guarantee the adequacy of their certifications.
Madeira Mamoré Railway Company: o legado da companytown à cidade de Porto Velho, Rondônia
Authors: Morelato Adriana Hiromi Nishida , Cardoso Ana Cláudia Duarte
Published: September 2021

Este texto investiga como as características da organização socioespacial da companytown estabelecida pela empresa norte-americana Madeira Mamoré Railway Company, responsável pela construção da Estrada de Ferro Madeira Mamoré, se revelam no desenho urbano da atual cidade de Porto Velho. Na sua gênese, a cidade foi dividida por uma Av. Divisória que separava a parte "norte-americana" (moderna, bem equipada) da "brasileira" (formada por um exército de reserva em busca de oportunidades). A análise foi realizada por meio de pesquisa documental, dos parâmetros morfológicos e das características do sítio. Conclui-se que a racionalidade em busca da satisfação funcional, outrora vigente, permanece orientando o crescimento da cidade e (re)produzindo a segregação socioespacial e ambiental manifesta nos assentamentos informais das bordas da mancha urbana, nos igarapés urbanos precariamente ocupados, na malha urbana rígida, na falta de áreas verdes e na carência de espaços públicos de qualidade, que promovam o convívio social.

This text investigates how the characteristics of the socio-spatial organization of the companytown established by the North American company Madeira Mamoré Railway Company, responsible for the construction of the Madeira Mamoré Railway, are revealed in the urban design of the current city of Porto Velho. In its genesis, the city was divided by an Divisória Ave. that separated the "North American" part (modern, well equipped) from the "Brazilian" part (formed by a reserve army in search of opportunities). The analysis was carried out by documentary research, the morphological parameters and the characteristics of the site. It is concluded that the rationality in search of functional satisfaction, which was in force at the time, continues to guide the growth of the city and (re)producing the socio-spatial and environmental segregation manifested in the informal settlements of the edges of the urban fabric, in the precariously occupied inner rivers, in the rigid urban fabric, the lack of green areas and the lack of qualified public spaces that promote social interaction.
Largo do Cinema: o desafio de conciliar o histórico e o contemporâneo
Authors: Araújo Alice Viana de , Morais Pablo Henrick Sales de
Published: September 2021

Este artigo propõe-se a defender que as dinâmicas urbanas em sítios históricos devam estar em consonância com a sua conservação, mas também a questionar o porquê de algumas demandas da sociedade contemporânea terem maior permissividade de intervenção sobre o patrimônio histórico do que outras, também de grande importância, mas muito menos danosas a esse. Tomou-se como objeto de estudo o Largo do Cinema (Ouro Preto-MG) e, como hipótese, que nele a acomodação da mobilidade motorizada seja priorizada em relação a outras demandas, como o lazer. Para essa verificação, empregamos metodologias de Avaliação Pós-Ocupação e pesquisamos espaços com desafios similares que conseguiram superar a hegemonia da mobilidade motorizada em prol de uma maior qualidade de vivência urbana. Como resultados, mesmo reconhecendo as pressões impostas pelas especificidades do sítio, concluímos que é, sim, possível equilibrar as áreas destinadas a atividades diversas sem desrespeitar o espaço patrimonial, nem ignorar as dificuldades relativas à mobilidade.

This article proposes to defend that the urban dynamics in historical sites should be in line with their conservation, but also to question why some demands of contemporary society have greater permissiveness of intervention on the historical heritage than others, also of great importance, but much less damaging to this one. Largo do Cinema (Ouro Preto-MG) was taken as the object of study and, as a hypothesis, that the accommodation of motorized mobility is prioritized in relation to other demands, such as leisure. We employed methodologies of Post-Occupancy Evaluation and researched spaces with similar challenges that managed to overcome the hegemony of motorized mobility in favor of a better quality of living space. As a result, even recognising the pressure imposed over the sites specificities, we conclude that it is indeed possible to balance the areas destined to different activities without disrespecting the heritage space, nor ignoring the difficulties related to mobility.

Appreciating Hate

Is acceptable to consume art that reflects the “depraved, the cruel, the violent, and the heartless” aspects humanity? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Felix doesn’t go for “moral relativism.” He believes there is good and evil, that art should not reflect the evil of the world, or enrich artists who are found wanting. Accordingly, Felix has gone about the lifelong process of removing all copies of the depraved art he can find, and afford to buy, in circulation. A police officer comes to his door because his sister in Arizona hasn’t heard from him in months and has asked for a wellness check. Felix explains his abundant video and book collection to the officer who is at first confused, but later begins to understand Felix’s reasoning.
Les protections du droit à la reproduction des femmes en situation de handicap en droit international : les écueils de leurs mises en application
Authors: Morin-Aubut Arianne
Published: September 2021

Cette étude porte sur la stérilisation forcée des femmes en situation de handicap. Le but est, en premier lieu, d’identifier les normes du droit international, notamment de la Convention pour l’élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l’égard des femmes (CEDEF) et de la Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées1 (CDPH), qui protègent le droit de fonder une famille et de ne pas subir de stérilisation forcée des femmes en situation de handicap. Ces protections seront ensuite mises en contraste avec la façon dont les femmes en situation de handicap se voient priver de leur fertilité aux États-Unis. Afin de comprendre ce qui sous-tend cette violation aujourd’hui, nous retracerons l’évolution de la conception juridique de la stérilisation forcée des femmes en situation de handicap dans ce pays. À la lumière du droit international tel qu’il protège les femmes en situation de handicap aujourd’hui, il sera possible de comprendre certaines des raisons qui font en sorte qu’encore aujourd’hui, des femmes en situation de handicap se font stériliser sans leur consentement.
