This study aimed to characterize fishing boats in the municipality of Santarém. The data were collected through interviews carried out from January 2017 to December 2018, in places where the fishing fleet was busy and at various points the edge of the city. During this period, 150 semi-structured forms were applied mainly to the owners or agents of fishing boats and fishermen who landed fish, as well as the monitoring of landings and direct observations. The fishing boats in activity in the municipality and registered in the present study had dimensions varying from 3 to 20 meters in length, all units of the fishing fleet had the construction and structure in wood evidencing an artisanal production system. The fishing fleet was classified into seven categories: “cascos”, canoes, motorized canoes, “sapiaras”, “rabetão”, “bajaras” and “geleiras”, which differ in size, model and type of propulsion. The most frequent boats in the ports of Santarém were the group of canoes, in descending order of contribution, are the “rabetas”, canoes, “cascos”, “rabetão” and “sapiaras”, followed by the glaciers and “bajaras” boats. The physical conditions of the floodplain environment, with numerous canals, “paranás” and lakes that suffer fluctuations of the water level are determinant factors for the size of the boats justifying the great use of the hooves and canoes actually operating in the regional fishing activity, associated with a variation of fishing techniques that demand a differentiated means of transport. Therefore, this study proves that the fishing sector plays an important role in the regional economy, besides supplying the Santarém city.

AbstractThis paper presents the evaluation of the conservation of the Monument to Ramos de Azevedo through a study of the ultrasound pulse velocity. The Monument to Ramos de Azevedo is of great importance for the history of the city of São Paulo (Brazil), because it honors the architect who was fundamental in the architectural and social development of the city. This monument was built with Itaquera Granite, a stone widely used in the cultural heritage of the city, which is more specifically called biotite monzogranite. The equipment used was the V-Meter Mark III and only P waves were used with 54 kHz transducers. Several measurements were taken on the monument and on fresh stone, and the results were compared. Results showed that the stone is in good condition even after changing locations twice because the values are very close to those of the fresh sample. The low values were attributed to internal discontinuities or biotite enclaves, the latter being very common in the Itaquera Granite.

Destructive Fishing

At present, corruption in the fishing sector has become a severe threat to the effectiveness of marine resource management. However, corruption activities that occur in fishing communities are still rarely revealed to the public due to the complexity and lack of researchers who are interested in learning them. The research aims to understand the behavior of the fish-bomb fishermen in Barang Lompo Island, South Sulawesi, in order to arrange suitable policy and program choice for reducing of using fish bombs in fishing activity. This research is conducted by a qualitative approach and ethnography method (participation observation) as well in a time series since 1999. The result showed that the corruption behaviors among the Barang Lompo fishermen are caused by several factors, i.e., aggressive culture, poverty, cultural burden and cultural pride, and consumerism. Corruption, in this case, makes a fishing business more efficient, with short working time indicators, and catches a lot.

Abstract- Kalimantan (Borneo) is famous as the island of a Pulau Seribu due to the large number of rivers that run across its cities. One of the longest is the Kahayan river that flows through the city of Palangka Raya. The river as an important aspect in Kalimantan people’s life has made it the starting point for the embryo of a city in the form of river side dwellings that keeps on developing amidst the dynamics of the Kahayan river that undergoes a high degree of change in terms of water level during the dry and rainy seasons. The issue that arises is the addition and loss of space due to the changes of the river water level. The purpose of this research is to describe the adaptation strategies used by the writer in Kampung Pahandut that is unique when compared other kampongs (villages) due to its condition of having dry and flooded streets in the dwelling area. This research is qualitative in nature, employing the narrative descriptive method. The data collection technique uses purposive sampling to collect the physical and activity data. The physical and activity data were gained through a survey of the research object as well as picture taking, field observation, as well as the medium ofinterviews conducted with the Kampung Pahandut villagers. The data was then processed by classifying the numerous changes that had happened in both physical and activity-related terms as well as analyzing and concluding the adaptation strategies. It was found that in Kampung Pahandut there were both physical and activity-related changes as efforts to accommodate its people to enable them to survive the dry and flooding condition due to the changes of the river water level. Within these efforts there was also architectural adaptation based on the study consisting of three adaptation strategies, namely: being adjustable, refittable, and movable. Keywords: architectural adaptation, changes in water level, Kahayan River, Kampung Pahandut

ResumenLa informalidad es parte del paisaje urbano en la ciudad de Quito, ha crecido deprisa y heterogéneamente, desbordada por condicionantes físicas y condicionantes económico-sociales propias de la evolución de las ciudades modernas latinoamericanas, cuya economía depende directamente de la extracción de recursos naturales, esto ha creado dos ciudades con características diferenciadas: la ciudad formal y la ciudad informal. Este estudio trata de entender estos dos modelos a través de una herramienta que analice las relaciones de los componentes urbanos insertados en la globalidad de la complejidad urbana. Desde la hipótesis se comprueba que los barrios de invasión y autoconstrucción generan mecanismos y procesos urbanos evolutivos, que guardan mejores relaciones escalares y relaciones internas de conectividad más dinámicas e intensas que los sistemas planificados convencionales para la vivienda social.AbstractInformality is part of the urban landscape in the city of Quito, it has grown rapidly and heterogeneously, overwhelmed by physical conditions and socio-economic conditions of the evolution of modern Latin American cities, whose economy depends directly on the extraction of natural resources. has created two cities with different characteristics: the formal city and the informal city. This study tries to understand these two models through a tool that analyzes the relationships of the urban components inserted in the globality of urban complexity. From the hypothesis it is verified that the neighborhoods of invasion and self-construction generate evolutionary urban mechanisms and processes, which have better scalar relationships and internal connectivity relationships that are more dynamic and intense than the conventional planned systems for social housing.

As cities become increasingly de-industrialized and emphasize building a sustainable future, we have seen an increase in the design of large-scale landscapes being incorporated into the urban fabric. The reconstruction of the Cheonggyecheon stream and park in Seoul, South Korea, is an example of this phenomenon. Since its completion in 2005, the city of Seoul has promoted the project as a restoration of its history and recreation of a collective memory of the site and historic stream from its geographic origins. However, this narrative of historic rebirth of a stream raises questions of authenticity, the selective emphasis of one history over another, and how this transformation of Seoul’s built environment may change the identity of the city’s culture and society. Using a mixture of direct observations of the park design, activities, and events held at the site, and interviews with project designers and former Seoul Metropolitan Government staff who worked on the project and Cheonggyecheon park visitors, this research examines the reconstruction of the Cheonggyecheon as simultaneously a recovery of and break with the past, and the representation of Seoul’s history, memory, and culture as performative functions of the design of the landscape and its activities. In the process, this new landscape offers a rewriting of the past and memory of the city as it redefines the identity of the city for its present and future.

The purpose of this research is to understand the role of leisure in shaping the reality of hospitalized patients in Brazil. The methodology combines both bibliography and field research techniques performed in internment units of three hospitals in the city of Belo Horizonte. The field research consisted of direct observations and semistructured interviews with 30 volunteers, among hospitalized subjects, companions, and health professionals. The data were analyzed qualitatively through iterative analysis. Results show that leisure activities can improve the health status of hospitalized subjects. Its role in the hospital is mainly related to compensatory and utilitarian functions, with contributions to rest, pain, and suffering reduction, expansion of friendship network, creativity, ability of doing critics, of educating sensitivity, through the dissemination of content and cultural practices among the subjects.

The aim of this paper is to study how women’s privacy needs are met through the physical form of public spaces in both old and new urban designs, using as a case study the city of Nablus, Palestine, which has been significantly influenced by the culture of gender separation. The findings will help develop a better understanding of the relationship between women’s privacy and the physical form of public spaces and will enhance the development of public spaces that women can use comfortably and actively to participate in the urban life. An environmental approach based on the concept of behavioural setting was used to examine women’s privacy issues in the chosen public spaces. Direct observations and questionnaires were used in the fieldwork, in addition to interviews with women and relevant people who influence the women’s privacy. Maps (GIS), sketches and SPSS techniques were used to interpret the data.

Resumo: Este artigo apresenta reflexões acerca das artesanias das pessoas em situação de rua na cidade de Sobral, no Ceará. Em nossas ações político-profissionais, apreendemos os significados da vida das pessoas em situação de rua em suas múltiplas manifestações, conhecendo os fios que unem suas histórias de vida, cada uma marcada pelos percalços de sua existência. Caminhamos apoiadas na pesquisa de caráter qualitativo com o uso de observações diretas e entrevistas. Tivemos como suporte teórico, autores como: Bauman (1998), Calvino (1990), Certeau (2013), Pais (2006-2013), dentre outros. Podemos concluir que as pessoas em situação de rua possuem percursos heterogêneos. Uns se habituaram a viver na rua, tomando-a como sua casa e espaço de sobrevivência. Outros a consideram um lugar provisório e de improvisos, visto que alimentam esperanças de (re) encontro com os seus familiares e com o seu trabalho digno. Fios de esperança que significam uma artesania de sonhos que produzem possibilidades de transformação.Palavras-chave: Situação de rua. Cidade. Experiências. Abandono.

In our political-professional actions, we've learned the meaning of homeless people's lives in its multiple manifestations, getting to know the threads that unite their life stories, each marked by the mishaps of their existence. We've walked supported by qualitative researching using direct observations and interviews. We've had authors as theoretical support such as: Bauman (1998), Calvino (1990), Certeau (2013), Pais (2006-2013), among others. We can conclude that homeless people follow heterogeneous paths. Some get used to live on the streets, taking it as their home and living space. Others consider it a temporary place to live and work, since they nurture hopes of meeting (again) with their families and a decent job. Threads of hope that mean a craftsmanship of dreams that create possibilities of transformation. Keywords: Homeless. City. Stories. Neglect. Hope

The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) determines a regulatory set of instructions for fisheries agreements. These rules control fishing activity in Brazilian basins during closed fishing seasons. However, many fishermen violate the agreements, as seen in the river basin Uba, in the municipality of Moju-Pará. When fishermen breach IBAMA’s stated regulations, the municipality is urged to act on the case, but with little knowledge of critical areas which suffer from overfishing. This makes the logistics of solving these issues difficult and often problematic. This work strives to serve as an aid to environmental agencies in their endeavor to inspect and regulate the issue of overfishing in critical areas, such as the Úba river basin in the municipality of Moju-Para. Our methods include a literature review of research concerning the issue, identifying critical points, as well as preparing maps and proposals for the site of environmental monitoring activities in the city. From within the critical points, we identified the hot spots. We observed five distinct vegetation types located roughly 10 kilometers along the river, and the corresponding agricultural anthropic areas to 49% of the entire study area’s territory. It is noted that the areas of greatest concentrations of overfished territories are lined with countryside, forest and dense vegetation. Thus, environmental inspections should take place in areas near the communities and the Úba river and especially in the area beyond the Levi resort, where the hot spot was identified, while always considering the logistics for hard to reach areas.
