What are the social reasons for urban planning activity? How can we discuss issues, principles, values and guidelines in urban planning action today? The title of these notes is drawn from a series of three seminars which we organised and held between 2011 and 2012, with support from the Diap. These notes accompany Susan Fainstein's essay at the beginning of this edition of the journal. The expression ‘contemporary planning matters' with its double meaning is both a reference to the reasons for contemporary planning activity and a pointer to the challenges of the subject and issues which urban planning action must meet today. It is on these big issues that we have invited Susan Fainstein, Tim Rieniets and Jacques Donzelot to dicuss the conditions to which urban and regional planning is subject today.

Since the public inauguration of the URP (Urban and Regional Planning) Bill in 2009, which is now law (The Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015), urban planning in Zambia has undergone changes. In partnership with the Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO) Federation, the Zambian parliament put into effect pilot urban planning assistance programs to assist districts around the country, including Chipata District in 2011, transition to a more decentralized, integrated and locally-defined approach to urban planning. However, the presence of discrimination, corruption, and negative attitudes towards urban planning engagement, social maladies prominently displayed in Zambian society, pose challenges to implementing the ideal goals of the 2009 URP Bill. The extreme, widespread poverty in Zambia merely exacerbates the propensity towards corrupt and discriminatory behavior, and influences poor attitudes toward urban planning engagement. This paper describes the projects undertaken by the VSO volunteer from the USA between 2011 and 2012 in the light of the specific urban problems facing Chipata District, and discusses the ways the social maladies play out in Zambian society to pose challenges to implementing the recommended changes to the planning system scribed in the 2009 URP Bill.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo relacionar aspectos da pesquisa no âmbito da pós-graduação em Planejamento Urbano e Regional com o processo de aprendizado em “Antropologia Visual e da Imagem”, disciplina cursada junto ao PPGAS/UFRGS no segundo semestre do ano próximo passado. Neste sentido, o campo da imagem é explorado como forma de pensar e projetar o território urbano (aqui trazido como área de formação, atuação e interesse do pesquisador), em especial por sua capacidade narrativa e de interpretação do imaginário social. A escolha metodológica deriva entre os aspectos da leitura e decifração do imaginário social (a partir da visão de Walter Benjamin), das estratégias projetuais evidenciadas no pensamento por cenários e, ainda, pela análise e interpretação de imagens no âmbito da antropologia visual; em todos os casos com foco nas analogias e/ou complementaridades da capacidade hermenêutica das imagens em cada um dos campos de conhecimento.Palavras – chave: Imagem dialética. Cenários. Imagem. Montagem. Narrativas.Search dialogues with studies in visual anthropology and imageAbstractThis work aims to relate aspects of research within the post graduation in Urban and Regional Planning with the learning process in "Visual and Imagetic Anthropology" course taken within the PPGAS / UFRGS in the second half of last year. In this sense, the image field is explored as a way of thinking and designing the urban territory (brought here as an undergraduation, performance and research field of interest), in particular by the narrative and interpretation ability of the social imaginary. The methodological choice derives from the aspects of reading and deciphering the social imaginary (from a Walter Benjamin's view), the projective strategies evidenced from the thinking through scenarios and also for the analysis and interpretation of images in the context of visual anthropology; in all cases focusing on analogies and / or complementarities of hermeneutics capacity of images in each of these fields of knowledge.Key words: Dialectical image. Scenarios. Image. Montages. Narratives.

In this article it will be shown how different general types of portals can be utilized to foster public participation processes in urban and regional planning. First portals and the objectives of their use in the public sector are explained. This happens before the background of different concepts of administrative reform and a transition of government to an electronic manner. Then public participation will be described and different categories thereof are presented. This part forms the basis for the delineation of electronic participation in urban planning. Finally the already introduced general portal types will be applied to distinguish several kinds of participation portals.

Esta é uma abordagem inicial, de trabalho, que busca estabelecer alguns parâmetros para a compreensão da conjuntura e do processo de financiamento à pesquisa da área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional no Brasil, através da análise da ação do CNPq, no período recente. Adotamos, primeiro, como recorte a grande área de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas e Educação do CNPq, para construirmos uma referência para a análise do fomento à pesquisa na área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional, tanto pelo fato dessa área congregar majoritariamente as áreas de conhecimento com proximidade ao planejamento, quanto pela forma de agregação de dados adotada pelo CNPq para disponibilização de suas informações. Na segunda parte do texto, avaliamos especificamente os dados do comitê assessor de Sociais Aplicadas, o CA-SA, que contém a área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional, Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Geografia, Demografia e Turismo. Ao final, fazemos um breve balanço e apontamos algumas linhas de ação para o futuro, uma vez que a articulação ao território do processo de formação acadêmica e de criação em ciência e tecnologia é um dos grandes desafios colocados ao Brasil hoje. Palavras-chave: CNPq; pesquisa; Planejamento Urbano e Regional. Abstract: This is a first approach that aims to establish some parameters to understand the situation and the process of research funding on the Urban and Regional Planning Area within Brazil Research Council (CNPq), in the recent period. Initially we analyze the large area of Social Applied Sciences and Education of the CNPq, to build a reference framework to support the funding research analyses in the field of urban and regional planning, in so far as this area embraces most of the knowledge fields with some proximity to the planning area, as well as the way CNPq provides its data information. Afterwards, we evaluated specifically the data of the Social Applied Sciences Advisory Committee (CA-SA), which comprises the area of Urban and Regional Planning, Architecture and Urbanism, Geography, Demography and Tourism. To conclude, we make a short appraisal pointing out some lines of action for the future, since linking the territory in the process of academic formation and of creation in science and technology is one of the big challenges to Brazil overcome nowadays.

The subject of this research is the inner structure of urban planning regulations. It is a known fact that urban planning regulations were introduces into practice in 2004 due to acceptance of the new revision of the Town Planning Code. Currently, there has accumulated the traditional practice of their usage as the means of urban development management. Therefore, the analysis of inner structure of urban planning regulations and identification of patterns and interdependencies becomes a relevant task in both, theoretical and practical aspects. The authors come to the conclusion that at this point have formed the two ways of comprising urban planning regulations: activity and object. The first one is based on listing the types of permitted use as types of activity; and the second one leans on listing the types of objects that can be created within the framework of the types of permitted use. The authors also conduct a frequency analysis of the types of permitted use contained in urban planning regulations. It is demonstrated that most of the types of permitted use is characteristic to the social and business urban planning zones, and the least of them for recreational and urban planning zones, as well as special purpose zones. The author underlines that the variety of the types of permitted use inversely relates to the level of rigidity of administrative regulation.

Almanya’ya işçi göçü, neden ve sonuçları, sosyal boyutlarıyla ele alınmış; göç ve devamındaki süreçte yaşanan sorunlar, konunun uzmanlarınca dile getirilmiştir. Fakir Baykurt’un Almanya öyküleri, sunduğu gerçekler açısından, sosyal bilimlerin ortaya koyduğu verilerle bağdaşan edebiyat ürünleri arasındadır. Yirmi yılını geçirdiği Almanya’da, göçmen işçilerle ve aileleriyle birlikte olup işçi çocuklarının eğitimine yönelik çalışmalarda bulunan yazarın gözlem ve deneyimlerinin ürünü olan bu öyküler, kaynağını yaşanmışlıktan alır; çalışmanın ilk kısmında, Fakir Baykurt’un yaşamına ve Almanya yıllarına dair bilgi verilmesi, bununla ilişkilidir. Öykülere yansıyan çocuk yaşamı ise çalışmanın asıl konusunu oluşturmaktadır. “Ev ve aile yaşamı”, “Eğitim yaşamı ve sorunları”, “Sosyal çevre, arkadaşlık ilişkileri ve Türk-Alman ayrılığı” ile “İki kültür arasında” alt başlıklarında, Türkiye’den göç eden işçi ailelerinde yetişen çocukların Almanya’daki yaşamları, karşılaştıkları sorunlar, öykülerin sunduğu veriler ışığında değerlendirilmiş; örneklemeye gidilmiştir. Bu öyküler, edebiyatın toplumsal gerçekleri en iyi yansıtan sanat olduğu görüşünü doğrular niteliktedir ve sosyolojik değerlendirmelere açıktır. ENGLISH ABSTRACTMigration and Children in Fakir Baykurt’s stories from GermanyThe migration of workers to Germany has been taken up with its causes, consequences and social dimensions; the migration and the problems encountered in subsequent phases have been stated by experts in the subject. Fakir Baykurt’s stories from Germany, regarding the reality they represent, are among the literary forms that coincide with the facts supplied by social sciences. These stories take their sources from true life experiences as the products of observations and experiences with migrant workers and their families in Germany where the writer has passed twenty years of his life and worked for the education of the worker’s children; therefore information related to Fakir Baykurt’s life and his years in Germany are provided in the first part of the study.  The life of children reflected in the stories constitutes the main theme of the study.  Under  the subtitles of “Family and Home Life”, “Education Life and related issues”, “Social environment, friendships and Turkish-German disparity” and “Amidst two cultures”, the lives in Germany of children who have been  raised in working class  families and  who have immigrated from Turkey are  evaluated under the light of facts provided by the stories and examples are given. These stories appear to confirm that literature is an art that reflects the social reality and is open to sociological assessments.KEYWORDS: Fakir Baykurt; Germany; labor migration; child; story
