title: The urban landscape transformations of the Nossa Senhora das Dores neighborhood in Santa Maria, RS city

description: Abstract The landscape is characterized as a category of Geography analysis; therefore, it contributes to the comprehension and valuation of socio-spatial transformations produced by different actors, as well as related to economic, cultural relationships, and also the physical-natural aspects of each place. It is emphasized that this analysis category is not defined based on materiality, but in subjectivity. In this perspective, this work aimed to analyze the landscape transformations of Nossa Senhora das Dores neighborhood, located in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. It is characterized as populated by Italian families, which contributed to its growth and development. The research was methodologically structured in stages: literature review; data collect; field work; analysis and results interpretation. It is emphasized that the main landscape transformations occurred initially in the 1980s, both in physical and in socioeconomic order, due to the creation of the Clube Recreativo Dores and the expansion of Nossa Senhora das Dores Avenue, which connects the east side of the city with the downtown area. In the 1990s another moment of expansion begins with the construction of the Royal Plaza Shopping, which was inaugurated in 2010. These changes affected the urban landscape and the lives of people, in view of the loss characteristics as tranquility and community life and, at the same time, the existence of new attractions in the place.

title: Urban growth trends in midsize Chilean cities: the case of Temuco

description: Abstract Academic production about the main Chilean cities exceeds the existing documentation on intermediate cities, though they have shown interesting trends patterns in recent years which have changed the urban system in Chile. This paper aimed to analyze the urban growth processes in Chilean intermediate cities using Temuco as a case study. It begins with an historical look at the city and then mentions that in the last decades this kind of cities have undergone new forms of segregation associated to real estate activities such as private communities, rural residential properties and new localization of services which have resulted in a fragmentation of urban space, a phenomenon reinforced by the consolidation of some satellite cities. At the same time, many urban problems associated to poverty, like a standstill of the regional economy and environmental pollution have appeared, jeopardizing the sustainability of these spaces, questioning current development parameters. The article ends considering the future challenges in Temuco’s urban development.

title: The appropriation of open public space in the contemporary metropolis: Tiradentes Square in Curitiba City

description: Abstract The study about the importance of open public spaces for the development of social life in cities is a recurrent concern in the various fields of urban spaces study. Especially in central areas of dense cities, these spaces mitigate the climate, articulate traffic, leisure activities, among others. On the other hand, the central areas of metropolitan centers undergo sociospatial processes that make them be considered “degraded” and become the target of several “revitalization” actions intended to alleviate said undesirable effects. In this sense, the central squares also experience this process and it is very common to go through various transformations in order to change this situation. These actions are frequent in Curitiba, which the central area has been the subject of several “renewal” actions. Given this dynamic, this paper aims to understand the importance of Tiradentes Square, located in downtown Curitiba, for the development of public life through the study of its use and appropriation. This article seeks to identify the characteristics and particularities linked to the production and consumption processes of this public space, based on the understanding of its historical evolution, physical-spatial observation and apprehension of its users, inspirate by a brief literature review.

title: The involuntary resettlement areas in urbanization and sanitation programs: the cases of Promaben, Prosamim and Probacanga

description: Abstract We present an analysis of the involuntary resettlement process (IR) deployed in urban development projects. We selected programs being implemented in the Brazilian Amazonia: the “ProBacanga” from São Luis - Maranhão, which receives funding from the IBRD; and two programs supported by the IDB: the “PROMABEN” Belém - Pará; and Manaus - Amazonas, the “PROSAMIM”. We conducted a bibliographic and documentary research using reports of banks and state and local governments implementing programs, complemented with academic texts, followed by a theoretical basis of neoliberal urbanism. It begins with an analysis of the IBRD and IDB financing, and their relationship with the neoliberal urbanism, followed by a presentation of major theoretical vision on the IR processes, and how the banks cited the operate their financing. We present the main features of the three programs, with emphasis on IR data and reviews. The analysis shows many indications that the resettlement used in the three programs are related to the principles of neoliberal urbanism. It is noticed that there is a competition among cities, and that these programs prioritize the urban embellishment. The IR has generated uncertainty in communities and prevents access to basic public services.

title: Urban occupation, social medias and the resistance territorialization: the case of Aparecida de Goiânia, Brazil

description: Abstract The analyses here proposed are based on the assumption of the city as the fundamental locus of contemporary tensions. The investigational itinerary tried to explain how the urban culture, considered the central move that daily takes place within the city, establishes with the landscape a relation of resistance against the global dynamics that penetrates places. The object of our study is Aparecida de Goiânia, a city comprised in the metropolitan region of Goiânia-GO. This study has leaned over the cultural materialities perceived in the landscape of Aparecida de Goiânia, intertwining theoretical approaches and contents gathered through interviews and questionnaires carried out with social actors directly involved in non-official culture. Between March 2013 and June 2015, more than three hundred groups/artists were identified, and about eighty institutions and seventy venues that systematically stimulate cultural life in the municipality of Aparecida de Goiânia. We have also added to the empirical research, one hundred and twenty one groups and artists who have profiles in digital social medias. The analysis, in this case, also permeates how digital social medias foster mechanisms of strengthening the cultural dynamics in the process of the lascape's materialities configuration. This materiality, objects, absorb the flows of local rationalities produced by individuals and organized groups, that the participation in these digital social medias encourage belonging, building territorialities resistant in the city.

title: The application of the Compulsory Subdivision, Building or Utilization of Land (CSBU)

description: Abstract This paper provides an analysis regarding the application of Compulsory Subdivision, Building or Utilization of Land (CSBU), one of the main urban planning instruments foreseen in the constitution of 1988 and in the City Statute in order to comply with the social function of urban property. It presents the results of a research concluded in 2014 that was based on the analysis of eight municipalities that have experimented this instrument after the approval of the City Statute, identifying strategies and administrative procedures that were adopted while implementing CSBU. Our research reveals a key role of defining a space-temporal strategy that provides a guiding framework for the application of the instrument, in order to reach its objectives in terms of territorial organization and the democratization of access to land. In some of the municipalities, CSBU does not articulate with the infrastructure conditions and the demand for an effective utilization of the total land areas that have been notified. Moreover, there are few cases where CSBU has been combined with other urban planning instruments, for example special low-income housing zones. In conclusion, by arguing that the planning and management of the application of CSBU, in particular procedures related with the monitoring and controlling of activities after the notification of land, which is marked by complexities, has not been received the proper attention from municipal managers, therefore generating additional challenges for reaching the instrument’s objectives.

title: Evaluation of the first Via Calma use in Curitiba-PR to cyclomobility

description: Abstract The theme of this article is to promote the cycle mobility that happened in the city of Curitiba-PR, with the implementation of the first Via Calma of the city on Sete de Setembro Avenue, downtown. The guiding research problem is the growth of cities and conflicts of quality spaces for walking and other light modes of travel, such as cycling. The objective of this research was to gather the views of users, in different modes of Via Calma, concerning the service function of the same and its importance to mobility in the city. The methodological procedures include an evaluation with users who answered a questionnaire, using the stated preference survey technique. There were 90 respondents, obtained using social networks on Internet. The results of the group studied showed that 29% already use the bicycle as a form of transport and among those who do not use, 52%, have shown that there is interest in exchanging the form of transportation currently used for bicycle. The relevance of the survey results indicated the positive side of the municipal initiative to create a specific space for bicycle traffic. On the other hand, respondents, who have appropriated the ideas, expressed insecurity when cycling with the cars next to them. It was considered valid this first initiative of the municipality to stimulate cycle mobility and the tendency is the appropriation of the Via Calma for new cyclists.
