This research aims to study the role of the local accommodation establishments (EAL) in the development of Lisbon's historic district by matching fundamental features linked to its tourist attraction with the dynamics associated to the residential function of the city such as its services, urban rehabilitation, and living experiences. Empirical analysis was applied using a qualitative approach with interviews to specialists on tourism management and to residents. This research shows changes occurring in social and commercial environment of Santa Maria Maior parish are not only caused by EAL activity. The aim is to present contributions to the definition of a more sustainable EAL management model in Lisbon. Findings show that stakeholder input can improve the balance and sustainability of both touristic and residential functions. Results of this research show that there is no agreement between the stakeholders in terms of regulatory and inspection measures. Nevertheless, stakeholders gave valuable feedback, and a summary of proposals was drawn to improve EAL supervision in Lisbon.

Abstract This article presents an overall reflection on the libraries that were assembled in scientific institutions in France and Italy in the eighteenth century using case studies and comparative approaches. It focuses in particular on five scientific academies (located in Turin, Florence, Paris and Brest) and two Florentine institutions, the Museo di Fisica e di Storia Naturale and the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital. Decisions made regarding library premises, book procurement policies, catalogue publications and whether or not to open to the public were all investments that demonstrated the role of the written culture in the identity of scholarly communities, including those (such as the naval and surgeons’ communities) whose members had long been seen as professionals firmly rooted in a manual practice that was detached from theory. This article thus shows how libraries participated in the institutionalisation of scientific activities, the definition of professional knowledge and the formation of scholarly collectives.

One obviously cannot make generalizations covering all the towns and cities of late nineteenth-century England. London was a case by itself; Liverpool a very different port from Bristol; an industrial town like Rochdale seems very remote from Dorchester. Nor is it possible to give a single brief definition of a city, though many have tried. ‘Just as there is no single form of the pre-industrial city,’ wrote R. E. Pahl, ‘urbanization as concentration of population does not lead to any single pattern of class action and conflict.’ Attempts to provide a definition of a city culminate in David Riesman's comment that the city is what we choose to make it for the purposes of analysis. One has to accept that Bristol, Dorchester, Rochdale and Liverpool were towns without exaggerating what they had in common.

The analysis of the main provisions of the transportation system reform programs in the Russian cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg allows the authors to conclude that some of the items in the documents do not fully satisfy the systemic approach to the definition of city and the role of transport in it. Based on the literature review and the benchmarking of best practices of the urban transportation reforms in different countries, the authors established inter-relations between urban transport and other elements of the city — economy, ecology, society and spatial planning. With regards to the identified inter-relations, possible consequences of policy decisions were investigated. These consequences are to be considered in the formulation of the urban transportation reform program. The article concludes with the necessity to include in the urban transportation reform program not only indices related to the development of public transport but also those which define the development of other elements of the city — economy, ecology, society and spatial planning.

RESUMOO artigo busca refletir, a partir da teoria dos movimentos sociais, sobre as mobilizações que ganharam repercussão no mês de junho de 2013 no Brasil. Para isso, parte de uma observação exploratória em ações de protesto na cidade de Santa Maria, região central do Rio Grande do Sul, sua construção, experimentação e repercussão em eventos no Facebook, de modo a entender o papel das redes sociais online nas lógicas das mobilizações sociais contemporâneas. Foram combinadas estratégias de observação online e offline, aliadas a entrevistas com participantes das manifestações. A análise permite discutir sobre como o Facebook é apropriado para construir uma pauta plural de reivindicações, refletir sobre suas formas de ação, colocar em contato diferenças, criar sentimentos de pertença e vínculos entre sujeitos com posicionamentos diversos e, ainda, construir dinâmicas de interação e visibilidade para as ações de protesto. Tais lógicas obrigam a repensar o campo de estudo dos movimentos sociais.Palavras-chave: Rede; Movimentos sociais; Redes sociais online; Ações de protesto; Facebook.ABSTRACT This article proposes to analyze, based on the theory of social movements, the mobilizations that obtained attention in June 2013 in Brazil. Based on the observation of protest activities in the city of Santa Maria, in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, it examines their development, evaluation and consequences in Facebook, as a means to gain an overall understanding of the role of online social networks within the logic of contemporary social movements. Interviews with protests participants were combined with online and offline strategic observations. The analysis indicates a discussion on how Facebook is used to construct  a plural agenda of demands, to reflect upon forms of action, articulate exchanges between opposites, to create a sense of belonging and a link between subjects with different opinions, as well as to build dynamic interaction and visibility for the protest activities. This particular situation requires reconsidering the theoretical field on social movements.Keywords: Networks; Social movements; Online social network; Protest activities; Facebook.

In addition there is still an understanding that fathers must be given the highest priority in any case, including in terms of eating compared to other family members. The findings show that they live in  dirty living environment with poor sanitation and inadequate clean water sources. Furthermore, this research study finds that the community assistants, including Social Worker, have not played their role adequately. The most striking obstacles faced are economic factors, accessibility and knowledge as well as lack of awareness from families in overcoming the problem of malnutrition in children under five in fishing families Abstrak. Masalah malnutrisi terbanyak terdapat di wilayah pesisir di antara wilayah lain di kota Serang. Fokus dari penelitian ini membahas tentang malnutrisi balita dalam keluarga nelayan dan penyebabnya serta peran pendamping bagi keluarga nelayan yang memiliki balita dengan status malnutrisi, di mana mayoritas mereka adalah buruh nelayan yang hidup dalam kemiskinan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis deskriptif. Pengumpulan datanya menggunakan wawancara mendalam, observasi dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan keluarga nelayan rendah, tingkat pendidikan dan pemahaman akan gizi kurang sehingga mereka tidak mampu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan gizi secara ideal. Faktor budaya dan kebiasaan setempat sangat mempengaruhi sikap mereka dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari hari, dalam hal gizi mereka berkeyakinan bahwa ikan dan telur apabila dikonsumsi oleh balita akan berdampak buruk pada kesehatan dan kulit mereka. Selain itu, masih ada pemahaman bahwa ayah harus diutamakan dalam hal apapun termasuk dalam hal makan dibandingkan anggota keluarga lainnya. Berdasarkan penelitian, terlihat lingkungan tempat tinggal mereka sangat kotor dengan sanitasi yang buruk serta sumber air bersih yang cukup sulit. Lebih jauh terungkap bahwa peran pendamping masyarakat, termasuk Pekerja Sosial, masih relatif belum cukup memadai. Hambatan yang dihadapi yang paling menonjol adalah faktor ekonomi, aksesibilitas dan pengetahuan gizi serta kurangnya kesadaran dari keluarga dalam mengatasi masalah malnutrisi pada anak balita dalam keluarga nelayan.

Neighborhood Parks

The neighborhood parks of Santa Maria, a municipality in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, belong to the free space system of the city, which is disconnected from distribution gaps in the urban perimeter. In this paper, the role of the urban planner in the management of these spaces is highlighted, in order to identify the local deficiencies and capacities in a productive and efficient way. A qualitative-quantitative methodology will also be presented through an online questionnaire, which sought to obtain the perception and preference of the population about the neighborhood parks. This dialogue with the community is an important tool that can effectively collaborate with the management of free spaces in medium-sized cities.
