title: Intersected conflicts: the local and the metropolitan in territory management

description: Abstract Since the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, the creation of Metropolitan Regions is attributed to the Legislative Assembly of the States. On the other hand, the municipalities are directly linked to the local daily logics and, at the same time, are inserted in a supra-local scale of power and governance. This apparent contradiction reveals an interscalar power struggle over territory, expressed in the quest to capture local development plans, programs, and projects with supra-local justifications. This study aims to understand how the dispute for territorial projects takes into account the interscalar conflict, articulating Urban Planning and Management in the metropolitan territory. The research highlights a set of instruments (plans, projects) that reveals the forms of centralization and decentralization of Planning and Management, in the Metropolitan Region of Natal, RN, Brazil, in the last decade (2006-2016). We performed a bibliographical research on territorial planning and management, as well as decentralization and collaborative governance. We also performed a documentary research of laws and decrees, and local urban projects with metropolitan incidence.

title: Teresina’s planning and municipal budget for economic growth and environment during 2014 to 2016

description: Abstract The construction of sustainable cities starts from the perspective of compatibility between economic growth and ecological caution. In this context, the present study analyzed the incorporation of this paradigm to the Teresina’s urban planning instruments. In order to do so, we selected the guidelines of the city master plan that act directly on economic growth and the environment, and examined the provision and budget execution for these standards in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The results revealed a municipality that promoted productive activities with steps that diminish the stress on the environment, by providing a master plan with criteria for solid waste management, environmental zoning, green areas, urban drainage, clean rivers and sanitary sewage. We noticed the alignment between the instruments investigated also identified the provision of resources for environmental management, basic sanitation, urban public cleaning and waste collection services, as well as for the promotion of productive sectors. But in examining the financial execution, we verified that less than 50% of the budget foreseen for these areas was executed, with the municipality concentrating budget execution in areas such as social security, special expenses and health. We concluded that Teresina incorporated the principles of sustainable city in the urban planning instruments analyzed, but in the years 2014 to 2016 did not prioritize these areas with financial resources.

title: Urban development in border areas: the case of Itaim Paulista

description: Abstract The densification policy of São Paulo City proposes an increase of built area in specific regions of the São Paulo City to connect jobs and housing. How this strategy works in the peripheral areas of the city? The policy of densification was defined by the Structuring Network of Urban Transformation (SNUT), proposed in the Municipal Law n. 16.050 / 2014 - Strategic Master Plan (SMP) and in the Municipal Law n. 16.402/2016, better known as the Zoning Law. The goal is to analyze the application of the policy in a peripheral neighborhood, considering the different dynamic in this area compared to downtown, where this type of policy has being applied for at least two decades. This article studies the case ofDom João Nery Road, in the Itaim Paulista neighborhood, east zone of São Paulo city.

title: Expansive laws for urban sprawl: Campinas without limits

description: Abstract One of the main answers that the municipal urban management must give is regarding which direction and how the Brazilian cities must expand. Master plans, urban land division, urban perimeter laws and zoning, consolidate rules that should not only control but drive urban growth. The municipal urban laws legalize the production of urban space and standards to the approval of allotment projects and urban sprawl. Such municipal laws are not always neutral and aligned with the federal laws. This article aims to evaluate the role of the urban laws that determine the urban sprawl of Campinas City - SP, and to verify the alignment or conflicts in between the laws. Through literature review, analysis of the laws and directed interview, we determined that the municipal laws, which guide the urban sprawl of Campinas, compose a conflicting, permissive and illegal legislative picture, in comparison with the present federal norms on urban sprawl and land division.

title: The housing market and gentrification process in Latin American cities: an exploratory study in Boa Viagem neighborhood, Recife-PE

description: Abstract The city territory is the locus of housing market agents’ actions, which are inducers of the cities’ demographic differentiation process. This study aimed to analyze the idea that the market action establishes a new logic of urban occupation. Our goal is to understand the relationship between the action of the housing market in the city of Recife-PE and the process of gentrification resulting therefrom. We conducted a case study in the Boa Viagem neighborhood, the main focus of the formal housing market. The work is descriptive in nature and uses a statistical model of linear regression to establish a concise understanding of the relationship between some demographic variables of the neighborhood and the housing market action. The results indicated a gradual rising of the socioeconomic variables in these neighborhoods, and this increase was higher than in neighborhoods where the market action was minor or nonexistent. The hypothesis that the housing market action establishes a process of segmentation and demographic-spatial differentiation was confirmed, denoting the occurrence of real estate change and consequent process of gentrification.

title: The green urban park: characteristics of use through systematic observation

description: Abstract Among numerous benefits, urban parks promote opportunities for the practice of physical activities (PA). In Presidente Prudente - SP, the Parque do Povo is the main public space for leisure in the city. This article aims to verify the relationship between parks and PA, and discuss its potential in health promotion environmental strategies. The level of PA and characteristics of its use have been collected through the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC), tool that is based on systematic observations. The data collection was carried out in 2015 and 19,105 individuals have been observed. The night period was the more frequented overall (53%), the moderated PA was predominant (54%), and sedentary activities have increased on weekends. The adults represented 59% of the sample, and men 65%. The results shows a positive relationship between the park and practice of physical activities and that certain periods of the day and week and other preferences of the users have to be observed for efficient programs of health promotion in urban environments.

title: The growth of the urban area of São Carlos/SP between the 2010 and 2015: the advancement of environmental degradation

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to analyze the progress of environmental degradation in the municipality of São Carlos, Sao Paulo state, as a result of the urban area growth process between 2010 and 2015. The following aspects were addressed: the anthropogenic activities that caused environmental degradation and the urban area growth and its relation to environmental impacts. To this end, spatial analysis tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and digital cartography were used, enabling temporal analysis through detailed observation and monitoring of the urban area current situation. An alarming situation of uncontrolled growth was detected, which is a result of a disperse and unregulated process on the soil, highlighting the need for better control of this process and, mainly, for implementation of urban management tools. There are indications that the environmental problems will continue to evolve as a result this urban area growth process, which indicates a potential for degradation of areas not yet affected.

title: Effects of urban mobility management for the Olympic Games on air quality in the central region of the city of Rio de Janeiro

description: Abstract In this study, the possible impact on air quality, due to changes in urban mobility infrastructure, in the central District of the city of Rio de Janeiro, was analyzed. Concentration data obtained at the Monitoring Station of Largo da Carioca, for the pollutants PM10, CO, O 3 and SO2, as well as meteorological parameters, were statistically analyzed for the months July and August 2015 and 2016, respectively, the year preceding and the year of the Olympic Games in Rio, 2016. The results obtained show that, despite the concentration values for the monitored pollutants being lower than national air quality requirements, the PM10 and ozone levels were of concern, mainly when the World Health Organization guidelines are adopted. The higher ozone levels in August 2016 may be a consequence of the increase in solar radiation or, even, of the chemical processes and concentrations of its precursors, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides (NOx). In order to understand and explain these results, NOx and non-methane hydrocarbon data from continuous monitoring is necessary. However, data acquisition proved to be inadequate. Despite technician’s efforts, at the Municipal Environmental Secretary of the City of Rio de Janeiro, government investment in air quality control is still insufficient, especially considering that NO 2 is a criteria pollutant, which represents a risk to population health and welfare.

title: Public policies for civil construction sustainability in Brazilian municipalities

description: Abstract The unsustainable growth of several cities, in Brazil and worldwide, implies negative effects that can interfere with the fundamental inputs for modern economies, such as water and energy. It is necessary to adopt a more sustainable growth model, adapting the cities development to new demands. Thereby, this study aimed to identify and analyze through online research, public policies to encourage sustainability practices in Brazilian municipalities, considering that changes in effective depend, among other aspects, of incentive programs and specific legislation. We adopted the scope of the municipality as a method of territorial reduction, where public policies were cataloged, and the results were finally recorded in the form of spreadsheets and graphs. The South Region presented a more expressive number of initiatives. We also verified that the most frequent subjects in this universe refer to water, energy and urban mobility. And, among the measures applied to the planning and construction of buildings, the most frequent initiatives are those from incentives granted by the city halls, from the fulfillment of certain requirements.
