title: Participatory urban planning and democratic management in Palmas (TO) according to the deliberative democracy

description: Abstract This study assumes that Evans's theory of deliberative democracy (2003) is related to the practice of participatory urban planning and the democratic management of cities recommended by the City Statute, which in the Participative Master Plan is the main instrument of urban development in counties. In this sense, this article seeks to present, in the light of participatory democracy, the processes of participative urban planning and democratic management of Palmas, in the elaboration, approval and implementation of the Palmas Participatory Master Plan (TO). Methodologically, bibliographical and documentary research was carried out, which put into dialogue the concepts of deliberative democracy and the determinations of the City Statute regarding participatory urban planning and democratic management. The documents for the formulation of the Participatory Urban Plan of Palmas (PUPP), the analysis of the Supplementary Law 155/2007 document by the Municipal Institute of Urban Planning of Palmas (MIUPP) and others municipal laws were analyzed. In this way, it was possible to conclude that the PUPP elaboration methodology was part of a participatory urban planning practice, designing institutions of deliberative democracy through meetings and public hearings, but the spaces of democratic management did not consolidate, making a governance strengthened by participation impossible.

title: Market as Religion: The Dynamics of Business Network in Megachurches

description: ABSTRACT Contemporaneously, in market view, the market of symbolic goods of religion is characterized by the pluralism of options that the postmodern individual has to join religious institutions. In this scenerie, it establishes a situation of fierce rivalry for the achievement of competitive advantage. The according exploratory and qualitative research aimed at analyzing the marketing strategies developed by the IURD leaders with their stakeholders in the Solomon’s Temple. The results show that in the competitive market of symbolic goods of religion, the magnitude and sumptuousness of megatemples construct a brand image that places the theological concerns of a future life or of salvation in the background, prioritizing practical solutions to everyday problems .The contribution of the research is to explain how the neopentescostal churches reinterpret traditional values of religiosity, by accepting with naturalness what had been rejected by traditional Protestantism and, thus, to consolidate and at the same time to legitimize the new dynamics of the religions that they act with the logic of the market.

title: Identification of sources of solid waste generation in a food and nutrition unit

description: Collective food service is considered a major source of food waste. In order to acquire detailed data of food loss and waste generation in this sector, the waste of one Food and Nutrition Unit (FNU) was classified into categories: inventory losses and storage losses in food processing, distribution and return. The study sought to identify and quantify the waste generated over five days at a FNU located inside an automobile parts manufacturing shop in the city of Taubaté, SP, and we proposed an action plan to reduce the environmental impact based upon the three r's principle. In order to serve 2,740 meals, 486.6 kg of solid waste were generated, resulting in an average per capita of 0.177 kg / day of waste. The waste was distributed as follows: 58.0% in food processing, 31.9% in returns and 10.1% in stock and storage. Of the total solid waste, 85% was organic compounds of unwanted portions of vegetables and meat, food scraps, leftovers from dinners, expired food and food samples, and 15% was composed of waste paper/cardboard, plastics and cans. The largest waste generation was due to the disposal of inedible food, food scraps produced and rest-intake, these results are related to waste food, 100% intended for composting. As for the other waste, 80% was destined for recycling and 20% was taken to the landfill.

title: Governance and Upgrading in GVCs: Why does Embeddedness Matter

description: Abstract Purpose This study’s primary objective is to propose actors’ embeddedness as a source for governance and upgrading within the GVC (Global Value Chain) framework. Design/methodology/approach This study uses co-word analysis to study the GVC scientific production. The analysis is conducted using controversies mapping from the Theory of Scientific and Technological Change (TSTC). Findings Two theoretical gaps were identified. First, governance and upgrading have more than one definition. Second, value and network are upgrading strategies. This article proposes the use of the Montenegro and Bulgacov (2014) framework to translate governance and upgrading respectively as network governance and strategic outcomes. Embeddedness matters because it is a stable theoretical concept (Granovetter, 1985) that can be a link between network governance and strategic results. Originality/value The study’s main contribution is to propose relativist embeddedness as a source of governance and upgrading. The second contribution is to present an ANT-based framework to study governance and its strategic results.

title: Territory as an urban mediation technology: the territorial customization of apps

description: Abstract Information and communication technologies have changed the context in which we live on the most varied scales. For this reason, they have also become an important management tool for the problems of contemporary cities. This article aims to investigate the relationship between territory and technology, noting that technology is a producer of territories, but not all territory produces the same technology. This relationship will be explained by the analysis of the territorial customization of the mobile applications AlertaBlu (Blumenau/SC) and Onde Tem Tiroteio (Rio de Janeiro/RJ). The methodology consists of a bibliographic review and comparative analysis. The results show that these applications are territorial creators because they demarcate the safe and insecure places of the cities where they work. We conclude that these territories function as an urban mediation tool.

title: The wagon beside the airplane: the right to the metropolitan city in Brasília

description: Abstract The theory of combined and uneven development helps to understand the metropolization process of Brasília. This nexus, in addition to the socioeconomic dimensions that are part of that theory, has an urban dimension: an urban design guided by the ideas of the modern movement was inscribed, in the form of an airplane, as the originating matrix of the territory that became a metropolis. Derivations of the peripheral metropolization have not accompanied it and have made a paradoxical counterpoint: they emerge much later and, the more recent they are, the more old-fashioned and archaic they are configured, seeming to belong to periods before the modern urbanism of the 20th century, co-existing in a functional manner in the metropolitan territory. In the article, we use the binomial Wagon & Airplane to reflect on policies that reproduce urban precariousness patterns, expressed in the first term; they are part of the same process that ensures privileges to well-equipped areas of the metropolis, which are expressed in the second term.

title: Compaction and diffusion in a mountain tourist destination? San Carlos de Bariloche in the 2000s

description: Abstract In the framework of the discussions relating to spatial forms assumed by cities in neoliberalism, Abramo affirms that Latin American cities have a distinctive urban growth model that is compact and diffuse at the same time, or com-fuso. Using this model as a start, this article refers to the case of San Carlos de Bariloche, a mountain tourist city located in the Argentinean northpatagonia, which historically grew extensively and diffusely. It is postulated that starting in the 2000s, along with the revival and tourism boom, processes of intensification of land use began to consolidate, which also tended to densify it. To verify this assertion is assessed particularly what happened in the neighborhood Belgrano, a residential area near the downtown center. The methodological approach includes the use of quantitative and qualitative data: census sources, building permits and real estate offers, but also interviews, aerial photographs and public documents. It is concluded that the densification processes not only attenuate the diffuse growth model of the city, but also raise questions about other urban problems that, together, could help to define the way in which the tourist cities grow and some of the its socio-spatial manifestations.

title: Framework for urban freight transport analysis in medium-sized cities

description: Abstract The urbanization process, especially the diverse aspects regarding size, function, position and growth of cities, significantly affect the Urban Freight Transport (UFT). This paper deals with behaviour of UFT in medium-sized cities. Here we will identify the attributes that characterize the Medium-sized Cities (MC), as well as the influence factors in UFT. In addition, a survey among specialists and public agents of medium-sized cities is presented, about the level of interaction between attributes that characterize MC and the factors that influence UFT. For analysis and validation of the opinion survey is performed non-parametric statistical test, and an analysis of the confidence interval to define the level of interaction between attributes and UFT factors. As a result, we provide a framework that demonstrates the interaction between attributes of MC and the factors that influence UFT. The factors “Projects and measures of local authorities”, and “Infrastructure available to the UFT”, together with the lack of studies related to freight transport (knowledge, innovation and technological advancement) were identified as the main issues that require attention on UFT in MC. This proposal may contribute to the decision makers regarding urban planning and brings a theoretical contribution to future research in UFT planning studies.

title: Food system: a comparative research on Product-Service Systems for food production, distribution and trade

description: Abstract Food systems have traditionally been the subject of social and agricultural sciences research. More recently, design research has been developing strategies that help understand the intersections between sustainability and the food system. It is not seen as a means of producing a tangible commodity to be marketed but as a result of an intangible sociotechnical system, which can be designed to improve life quality. This work aims to analyze the intersections between the concepts of Product-Service System (PSS) in Communities that Support Agriculture (CSA). In this context, two CSAs are analyzed as alternatives capable of positively transforming the way society produces, distributes and markets food. The limitations of this study and the role of design, in the development of more efficient and sustainable CSA models for the food system, are also discussed. The results allow to contextualize the functioning of the CSAs studied and to identify the particular challenges that can be overcome using PSS’ processes and skills.

title: LOWER CIRCUIT OF THE URBAN ECONOMY AND LOCAL CITIES-HYBRIDS

description: Abstract In the current period, marked by processes of globalization and fragmentation, endows fluidity space, science, technique, information and rationality, in which part, also, the increase of unemployment, the precariousness of labour relations and structural poverty. In this context, the theory of the two circuits of the urban economy further strengthens as a possibility of seizure of contemporary urban dynamics. In this sense, in this article we discuss the theory of circuits of urban economics to three local cities socio-spatial reality - hybrid-, located in the extreme west of the State of São Paulo - Brazil. Our analyses are, mainly, in the understanding of the dynamics of the lower circuit of the urban economy, the possibility of dialectical reading between both circuits and, in an analysis that includes the interurban division of labor. Finally, think of the urban economy lower circuit for socio-spatial reality of local cities - hybrids, allows us to understand the relation between poverty and lower circuit.

title: Physical Activity and Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation - Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

description: Abstract Background: The relationship between exercise and atrial fibrillation (AF) is controversial. Objectives: To analyze the effects of physical activity on the incidence of atrial fibrillation using systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that relate physical exercise and atrial fibrillation. The following databases were searched: PubMed, BVS Saúde and Cochrane. The following descriptors were used: "atrial fibrillation", "exercise", "physical activity" and "exercise therapy". All prospective, retrospective, cross-sectional and cohort studies were investigated. All statistical analyzes were provided using Review Manager 5.3 to provide the mean difference (MD) and relative risk (RR) ratio with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The statistical method of heterogeneity index was used to assess heterogeneity. Level of significance was 5%. Results: Combined analysis of 11 studies totaling 276,323 participants aged between 12 and 90 years did not suggest a significant increase in AF in individuals submitted to physical exercise (RR = 0.914, 95% CI = 0.833-1.003, heterogeneity: p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: Physical exercise, lato sensu, without stratification by intensity, sex or age does not seem to be associated with an increase of atrial fibrillation.

title: Mobility index for urban freight transportation

description: Abstract This paper proposes a mobility index for urban freight transportation (UFT), with the purpose of subsidizing decisions related to the implementation of actions and measures that may lead to improvements in the mobility level in a certain city area. Mobility indices have been priory proposed for assessing and monitoring the movement of people within city borders, but this topic has been understudied in the context urban freight transportation. Therefore, in order to develop a mobility index for UFT, we carried a literature review to identify the main actions that could be implemented by the government in order to mitigate externalities caused by urban freight transportation. Based on the result of this literature review, a set of indicators to compose an mobility index for freight transportation was proposed. We used the principle of aggregating indicators to formulate the proposed index and, to define the weight of each indicator, we opted to use a multicriteria decision aid method. The proposed index was applied in the city center of Niterói/RJ. The resulting value for the UFT mobility index, in this application, indicates that this area does not have a good mobility level for urban freight transportation, lacking implementing measures to reverse this situation.
