title: Privatization and financialization of infrastructures in Brazil: agents and rentier strategies after global financial crisis of 2008

description: Abstract Infrastructure production in Brazil has undergone important transformations since the 1990s, articulating itself with the country’s alignment with a neoliberal agenda. The adoption of countercyclical policies in response to the 2008 crisis, expands and makes the nature of these processes even more complex. The historical role of the BNDES in conducting the privatization processes and the growing economic and political power of the major national contractors are taking is central elements to understand this process. Discussing with the international debate about privatization and financialization of infrastructures, we seek to understand the Brazilian case in order to problematize the increase centrality of rent accumulation. The article is developed through the analysis of institutional arrangements, dominant agents and accumulation strategies, considering the systematization and critical interpretation of the bibliography, documents and data referring to the transformation of the sector.

title: Effective public space in Manizales and Medellín, Colombia: quantitative evaluation of its generation and distribution in two normative moments

description: Abstract The urban public space -PS- is essential for sustainable, resilient, livable cities. Its relevance is recognized by politicians, institutions, and academia. However, its materialization is not as planned, especially in Andean cities in mountainous reliefs such as Manizales and Medellín in Colombia. This work explored the directives on PS in the national and local regulations established in the territorial ordering plans -POT- of the municipalities, of which there are two versions, two moments. Likewise, it evaluated the PS at the beginning of each POT to determine how much new PS was generated and in which parts of the city, as an indication to analyze the equity in its distribution. Important changes were found between the two generations of POT in both cities in terms of discourses, and in the conceptions of PS, declared intentions of equity, concentration of PS in some urban areas and lack in others. Cities are still far from achieving the goals set in the quantitative indicators and, furthermore, they are losing PS due to private occupation. The challenges are increasing, but in addition to the quantitative, it is necessary to consider characteristics of quality, accessibility and connectivity that give vitality to these spaces.

title: Open Government in São Paulo: An Analysis of Open Public Policies

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to identify how and when the open government principles, specifically transparency, participation, and collaboration, are being incorporated into the public policy cycle phases in local governments. Theoretical framework: theories related to public policy analysis and open government. Method: a single case study with an incorporated focus on the open government initiative of the São Paulo City Hall, where three distinct public policies were analyzed from a theoretical-analytical framework built by integrating the approach of the public policy cycle with the three open government principles. Results: the study showed that in none of the analyzed policies there was the full incorporation of these principles in the five phases of the policy cycle and that little progress was made regarding the requirements for them to be considered open policies. Conclusions: the study contributes to narrowing the theoretical-methodological gap concerning the effectiveness of open government initiatives. The method offers conditions to be applied in different realities and can be used in future research to better understand how open government principles are being incorporated into public policies of governments that have signed open government commitments.

title: Overview of the Project “Adote uma Escola”: a case study in the schools in the municipality of Pelotas-Brazil

description: Abstract The need to promote the management of solid waste generated in the municipality of Pelotas-RS allowed a partnership of the municipal sanitation agency with educational institutions of the municipality, through the Adopt a School Project (AUE), aiming to advance the selective collection of recyclable waste in the different neighborhoods of the city. Given the time of operation of the AUE, the study seeks to carry out an evaluation and diagnosis on the situation of the AUE concerning the management of solid waste recyclable in 62 educational institutions of the public and private network. A quantitative exploratory-descriptive survey was conducted, using a structured questionnaire. The results showed a significant increase in the number of participating schools, showing that municipal elementary schools stood out in working on the issue of solid waste through the Chi-Squared test (P &lt; 0,05). In addition to inadequate waste segregation, lack of infrastructure, and gaps in environmental education practices in schools. Considering that, despite the limitations, the project contributes to the improvement of the management of solid recyclable waste in educational institutions and assists in municipal selective collection, in addition to strengthening public policies in the area of environment and education, assisting in the process of citizen training and the construction of environmental sustainability.

title: Strengthening ties: inter-municipal cooperation for disaster risk reduction

description: Abstract The National Policy of Protection and Civil Defense (Law 12.608/2012) assigns to municipalities many competences in prevention, mitigation, preparation, response and recovery aimed at civil protection and defense. The reality of Brazilian municipalities, especially small size ones, has been living with the lack of financial and human resources to accomplish these responsibilities. This paper investigates the potential of public inter-municipal consortia to reduce vulnerabilities, especially institutional, technical and political, in the context of disaster risk. Several experiences of public consortia in Brazil were investigated through a reflexive study, considering the potential and the challenges for their constitution and maintenance. The political, financial and operational capacity of consortia could support more specialized activities, such as mapping disaster risk areas and contingency plans. In opposition, the consortium is not able to solve all the difficulties faced by the municipalities, and it is necessary to overcome political-party barriers and indifference of local management. After overcoming these challenges, cooperation shows considerable potential to strengthen municipal capacities for reducing disaster risks.

title: Supplementary Material for: Possible Efficacy of Vedolizumab, an Anti-α4β7 Integrin Antibody, in Palmoplantar Pustulosis

description: Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic skin inflammatory disease in which blisters and pustules repeatedly develop on palms and soles. PPP is often refractory to topical therapy, oral therapy, phototherapy, and biologics that are usually applied for PPP. We report a patient with PPP improved by vedolizumab (anti-α4β7 integrin antibody) treatment for ulcerative colitis, suggesting the possibility of a new molecular target for PPP therapy.

title: Walking and ageing: exploring the walkable public space of older adults in Chilean’ urban planning tools

description: Abstract Population ageing is one of the biggest challenges of Latin American cities, yet little is known on how urban planning addresses it. This article seeks to contribute to this discussion, by investigating how the planning tools that define the walkable space of Chilean cities cover the needs of older adults and, in general, of pedestrians. Fifteen normative and indicative tools were analysed with qualitative tools, showing that older people’s needs are scarcely considered in public spaces that prioritise the flow of an “average” and in constant movement pedestrian.

title: Governance approach to the prioritization of sustainable development goals in the city of Medellin (Colombia)

description: Abstract This article proposes a governance approach for the prioritization of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the city of Medellín (Colombia, South America). The governance approach proposed in this study stems from the articulation of technical and participatory approaches. The technical approach took as reference the document CONPES 3918, which defines the national sustainable development agenda in Colombia. The participatory approach was supported by the Medellín Citizen Perception Survey, which reflects the most important aspects of the quality of life for citizens. The results indicate that priorities for sustainable development in Medellín should be oriented to SDG 17, SDG 3, SDG 8, SDG 5, and SDG 4. The consistency test (CR) indicates the instrument applied is consistent.

title: Public policies and development: an analysis model proposal

description: Abstract This paper presents a model to analyze public policies on their impact in terms of multidimensional development. It is assumed that policies are initiatives toward the social transformation, and that development can give it meaning and direction. The model was designed based on endogenous development and governance approaches, from which we derived two sets of analytical categories. The first, endogeneity, directs its attention toward the agency of local actors who perform the processes and bear the consequences of such policies. Endogeneity was unfolded into three analytical dimensions: equity, sustainability and participation. So, this analytical category allows us to investigate the potentialities of policies to accomplish what justifies their existence: improving social conditions. The second, governance mechanisms, focus on policymaking processes, exploring the manifestation of endogenous character in decision-making, divided into three dimensions of analysis: participation, consensus and shared management. The proposal aims to strengthen policy analysis in Brazil and, thus, to offer a perspective that pays attention to policies based on the results that make them fundamental in our society.

title: Internal migration and commuting: an analysis of recent processes of population growth and regional integration in eastern Rio de Janeiro

description: Abstract Population movements are fundamental elements for understanding processes of population growth and articulation between cities. In the context of the state of Rio de Janeiro, recent changes in terms of origins, destinations and intensity of flows observed in the eastern Rio de Janeiro suggest different forms of relationship between the different spaces and reinforce the need to understand the role of these movements in the region. Given the recognized importance of the theme for urban and regional studies, this article analyzes the role of internal migration for population growth and commuting in the process of regional integration. The analysis favors traditional indicators in population mobility studies, built from 2010 Brazilian census data. The evidence suggests that population growth is still concentrated in the largest cities, that population redistribution has been favorable to central municipalities and that Macaé has positioned itself as a municipality potentially integrating the regional labor market. may contribute for new research and encourage new discussions about the directions that the spatial mobility of the population in the region may take in the future.

title: Perception of the agroecological socio-environmental landscape: outlines for human development in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga Jalisco, Mexico

description: Abstract The municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga has been transformed, in recent decades, by conurbation processes in the metropolis of Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico, causing a deterioration of its social and environmental landscape. The traditional and rural landscape changes due to urban growth with the loss of natural, productive, and cultural resources. Observing the environment of the municipalities in conurbation, from the perception of the landscape of its inhabitants, shows the identity, participatory and deterioration nuances in the transition from rural to urban areas, as well as the search for development alternatives in the recognition and conservation of the agroecological landscape. The methodology for its interpretation is the reading of images of the landscape of the inhabitants of the place who, from early age, perceive the landscape dimensions of water, community, soil and flora and fauna, in their relationship with sustainability and food sovereignty. The objective is to apply a methodology for identify the elements that make up the layout of the agroecological landscape to indicate the conditions of its necessary heritage conservation in human development. Landscape valorization tools recognize an image of the landscape elements that make up for the systematization and classification of what is observed, up to the analysis and synthesis of the relationship between perceived elements.
