3D CITY MODELLING TOWARD CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT. THE DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION OF MUSEU DO IPIRANGA - USP, SAN PAULO, BRAZIL

Abstract. The present paper illustrates the survey and documentation activities for the 3D city modelling and visualisation carried out since 2016 on complex monumental buildings of the city of São Paulo in Brazil by the DIAPReM research centre and the TekneHub Laboratory of the University of Ferrara in collaboration with FAU-USP Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo of Universidade de São San Paolo and funded by the Fundação de Apoio à Universidade de São Paulo- FUSP for the definition of interdisciplinary collaboration protocols and the development of integrated digital databases of Brazilian cultural heritage. Starting from a wider joint international research collaboration dated more than five years ago, the project aims to define interdisciplinary protocols for the digital documentation of built heritage in order to support the knowledge, restoration, maintenance, management and enhancement of Museu do Ipiranga - USP involving both academic and research competencies, as well as professional and technical skills. The definition of the first integrated digital database of the Museu do Ipiranga took into account the documentation needs of complex architecture for restoration and the project for new accessibility and the extension of the Museum itself and a wider digitisation project for urban planning as well as new Smart Cultural Heritage accessibility.

Lack Of Knowledge

The worldwide concern regarding sustainable urban development has been increasing as the populations of countries increase and demand more consumption of the already scarce natural resources. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that 55% of the world population lives in urban centers, with the perspective of surpassing 68% in 2050. In Brazil, 84% of the population today live in the cities. One of the goals of sustainable development is to make cities more sustainable and inclusive and, to accomplish such goal, many variables need to be accomplished, among which is the strengthening of efforts to protect and safeguard cities’ cultural heritage, for the present and future generations. Seeing as São Paulo is the 10th urban city in the world, and its historical heritage preservation policies are recent and in the process of being outlined, this research strives to answer: What are the main challenges identified by owners/managers of listed historical buildings in São Paulo, which stand in the way of conserving/preserving their properties? Results revealed that the main challenges are a lack of knowledge about what interventions can be done to the property, lack of knowledge on incentive laws and more feasible ways for the conservation of historical sites and dealing with excessive bureaucracy. Such results contribute to the implementation of urban development policies focused on the sustainable goal of safeguarding the city’s cultural heritage, in order to propitiate advancements in preserving the memory and identity of the city through the conservation of properties listed as historical heritage.

The objective of this study is to evaluate, through a multidimensional index, the level of rural development of the municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The process used to determine the rural development factors, the contextualization of the dimensions, as well as the definition of the variables assigned to each one of them were carried out in order to accomplish this proposal. Thus, it was possible to elaborate and to analyze the mathematical index. Methodologically, we used Systematic Bibliographic Review, analytical exploration of the results, cluster analysis and Tukey test for index validation. Based on the analysis of the results it was possible to observe neighboring municipalities with similar results, which may justify not only the local evaluation but also a micro-regional or meso-regional study. The understanding of the quality of rural life of São Paulo, through a multidimensional index, was able to generate prior knowledge for development policies at regional and local scale.

Com o objetivo de identificar e caracterizar áreas prioritárias à preservação e à recuperação de formações florestais naturais no entorno das represas de Paraibuna, Paraitinga e Santa Branca, Estado de São Paulo, a partir da definição de Áreas de Proteção Permanente (APPs), foi estabelecida uma faixa marginal de 100m e analisada a distribuição da cobertura vegetal e uso do solo atuais. Houve a constatação de um padrão de uso do solo e cobertura vegetal em ambas as represas (Santa Branca e Paraibuna-Paraitinga), caracterizado pela predominância da classe pasto/agricultura (61%), seguido de mata/capoeira (25%), e eucalipto, (10%). O percentual remanescente ficou representado pelas classes unidade urbana, solo exposto e água. Sendo a classe mata/capoeira a única a ser prioritária à preservação, esta representa quase que ¼ da área total de APP. A área prioritária à recuperação (pasto/agricultura, eucalipto e solo exposto) prevalece, ao passo que as não enquadradas (água e unidade urbana) possuem uma participação irrisória. Por gerar recursos econômicos importantes aos municípios, um plano de manejo dessa área se faz necessário. A manutenção do panorama atual no entorno das represas pode ter influência negativa direta na qualidade de água, prejudicando assim o abastecimento de água aos municípios servidos por esta.Palavras-chave: Geotecnologias, Área de Proteção Permanente, Código Florestal Brasileiro. Priority Areas to Natural Forest Communities Preservation and Recovery: Case Study in Adjacencies of Basin River Dams from Alto Vale do Paraíba, São Paulo, Brazil ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to identify priority areas to the preservation and the recovery of natural forest formations around the dams of Paraibuna, Paraitinga and Santa Branca, São Paulo State. From the definition of Permanent Protection Areas (APP), it was established a buffer of 100m and it was analyzed the vegetal covering distribution and also the current use of the ground. It was verified a pattern of land use and vegetation cover in both reservoirs (Santa Branca and Paraibuna-Paraitinga), characterized by the predominance of class pasture/agriculture (61%), followed of forest/“capoeira” (25%), and eucalyptus, (10%). The remaining percentage was represented by the classes unit urban, exposed soil and water. As the class forest/“capoeira” is the only priority to preservation, this represents almost ¼ of the total area of APP. The priority area for rehabilitation (pasture/agriculture, eucalyptus and exposed soil) prevails, while those not covered (water and urban unit) have a ridiculous stake. Since this area generates significantly economic resources to municipalities, a management plan for it is necessary. The permanence of the current landscape around the dams may have direct negative impact on water quality and adversely affect the water supply to municipalities served by it.

Compactness Index

RESUMO: O município de São Paulo, assim como outros municípios brasileiros populosos, tem sua urbanização marcada por forte dispersão e adensamento populacional periférico, o que gera inúmeros impactos negativos para a qualidade de vida da população, para a economia urbana como um todo e para o meio ambiente, enquanto dificulta a gestão municipal e metropolitana. Assim, a compactação surge como uma estratégia de desenvolvimento urbano, ao aproximar demandas e ofertas para maior número de cidadãos, sobretudo os menos favorecidos, agregando, dessa forma, benefícios sociais, econômicos e ambientais. A compactação da forma urbana é medida pelo seu respectivo índice, o índice de compacidade (IC), construído por uma relação métrica espacial de perímetro e área, que de forma direta, ainda relaciona às interações humanas e à organização de atividades dentro de uma área urbana. O objetivo do presente artigo é calcular e analisar o índice de compacidade para as subprefeituras do município de São Paulo, com pesquisa exploratória bibliográfica, mapeamento digital e aplicação matemática dos índices de compacidade. O estudo da compactação urbana gerou resultados significativos quando analisados comparativamente no conjunto urbano ou do município, inclusive na verificação da aplicabilidade das políticas de adensamento populacional. Entretanto, a investigação para definição de escalas intermediárias de compactação, especialmente nas médias e altas densidades, mostra-se útil para que territórios extensos e com padrões de ocupação e dinâmicas urbanas e sociais bastante distintas, possam eventualmente ser subclassificadosABSTRACT: The municipality of São Paulo, as well as other populous Brazilian municipalities, has its urbanization marked by strong dispersion and peripheral population density, which generates numerous negative impacts on the quality of life of the population, for the urban economy as a whole and for the environment, while hindering municipal and metropolitan management. Thus, compacting emerges as a strategy of urban development, bringing together demands and offers for a greater number of citizens, especially the less favored, thus adding social, economic and environmental benefits. The compaction of the urban form is measured by its respective index, the compactness index (CI), constructed by a metric relation of perimeter and area, that directly, still relates to the human interactions and the organization of activities within an urban area. The aim of this article is to calculate and analyze the compactness index for the subprefeituras of the city of São Paulo, with exploratory bibliographical research, digital mapping and mathematical application of the indices of compactness. The study of urban compaction generated significant results when analyzed comparatively in the urban or municipal set, including in the verification of the applicability of population densification policies. However, research into the definition of intermediate compaction scales, especially in medium and high densities, is useful so that extensive territories with quite distinct occupancy patterns and urban and social dynamics may eventually be subclassified.

O Design é um processo estratégico de resolução de problemas que impulsiona a inovação, o sucesso do negócio e a qualidade de vida através de produtos, sistemas, serviços e experiências inovadoras (ICSID, 2015). Inovar é um processo de alavancar a criatividade para gerar valor de novas maneiras através de novos produtos, serviços e negócios (JONASH e SOMMERLATTE, 2000). Quando se tem uma inovação é possível fazer o registro de uma nova patente. Os registros de marcas, desenhos industriais, indicações geográficas, concessões de patentes e as distintas modalidades de transferência de tecnologia, na economia do criativa e do conhecimento, se transformam em diferenciais competitivos, estimulando o surgimento constante de novas identidades e soluções técnicas (INPI, 2017). Cada objeto de design é o resultado de um processo de desenvolvimento, cujo andamento é determinado por condições e decisões (BÜRDEK, 2010). Tendo isso em vista, percebe-se como o processo de desenvolvimento de design envolve conhecimentos e habilidades sistêmicas. Desta forma, este trabalho objetiva evidenciar de forma sistêmica o potencial de criativo de um núcleo de desenvolvimento de design que atua com abordagem sistêmica, relacionando suas competências em serviços com a política brasileira de proteção do design, afim de salientar as conectividades entre serviços e produção de patentes. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados para tal envolvem uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, com abordagem qualitativa, objetivo exploratório e com procedimentos técnicos envolvendo levantamento bibliográfico e estudo de caso, por envolver o estudo profundo e exaustivo de um objeto pesquisa - o núcleo de abordagem sistêmica do design - de maneira que se permita o amplo e detalhado conhecimento do seu modelo de atuação em serviços, verificando seu potencial de inovação e de produção de patentes (SILVA e MENEZES, 2005).Como resultado, este artigo propõe uma visão sistêmica do modelo de atuação do núcleo de design estudado que evidencia a conexão entre as atividades e serviços de design com a produção de patentes no Brasil, além de discutir o potencial de inovação do núcleo e do design de forma geral.Keywords: design; abordagem sistêmica; serviços; inovação; patentes1.

Main Message

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to present key points of an intervention programme (Agita São Paulo Program) to promote physical activity in a developing country. Agita is a multi-level, community-wide intervention designed to increase knowledge about the benefits and the level of physical activity in a mega-population of 34 million inhabitants of São Paulo State, Brazil. The main message was taken from the Centers for Disease Control/American College of Sports Medicine (CDC/ACSM) recommendation that: ‘everyone should accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical activity, on most days of the weeks, of moderate intensity, in one single or in multiple sessions’. Activities were encouraged in three settings: home, transport and leisure time. Focus groups were students from elementary schools through to college, white and blue collar workers, and elderly people. Innovative aspects included: (1) a research centre leading the process, (2) scientific and institutional partnerships (over 160 groups), (3) a feasible approach – the ‘one-step-ahead’ model, (4) empowerment, (5) inclusion, (6) non-paid media, (7) social marketing, and (8) culture-linked. Data were obtained from 645 random, home-based questionnaires over four years – stratified by sex, age, education and socio-economic level. These data show that the Agita message reached 55.7% of the population, and among these, 23.1% knew the main message. Recall of Agita and knowledge of its purpose were well distributed among different socioeconomic levels, being known by 67% of the most educated. The prevalence of people reaching the recommendation was 54.8% (men 48.7%, women 61%); and risk of being sedentary was quite smaller among those who knew the Agita message (7.1%) compared with those who did not know (13.1%). In conclusion, based upon the Agita São Paulo experience, it appears that a multi-level, community-wide intervention to promote physical activity may obtain good results if the model contains the items listed above.

Fonsechellus Silvestri and Oecidiophilus Silvestri consist of two Neotropical genera of termitophilous rove beetles, which have been poorly characterized due to the scarcity of material for studies. Herein, based on material collected in the seventies and housed in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, two new species associated with Atlantitermes guarinim Fontes and Diversitermes sp., are described and illustrated: Fonsechellus heterosetosus sp. nov. and Oecidiophilus cleidecostae sp. nov., respectively. The latter represents the first record of the genus to Brazil. Also, Fonsechellus fragilis and F. fontesi are redescribed, and a key for species identification is provided for the genus. The condition of the membranous wings of Fonsechellus is addressed and discussed, and the definition of both genera is expanded.
