Belém dos Imigrantes: espanhóis na capital paraense (1890-1920)

Este artigo busca abordar a relação entre os imigrantes espanhóis e a cidade de Belém a partir da intervenção destes no cotidiano da cidade. Desde a segunda metade do século XIX, o Pará passou a receber expressivos contingentes de imigrantes, entre os quais os espanhóis representam o segundo maior contingente de imigrantes que deram entrada no Estado. Alguns números indicam a presença de 16.000 espanhóis em Belém entre 1890 e 1916, assim surgindo a necessidade de se unirem na criação e manutenção de centros associativos, demonstrando uma intensa rede de sociabilidade e solidariedade com seus conterrâneos. Por fim, foi possível construir tendências de espacialidades destes imigrantes, que residiam e construíram suas redes de solidariedade em áreas ligadas as atividades comerciais nos bairros mais antigos da capital paraense.Palavras-chaves: Imigrantes; Espanhóis; Cidade; Memória.AbstractThis article seeks to address the relationship between Spanish immigrants and the city of Belém from their intervention in the daily life of the city. From the second half of the 19th century Pará began to receive significant contingents of immigrants, including the Spanish, which represented the second largest contingent of immigrants who entered the state. Some figures indicate the presence of 16,000 Spaniards in Belém between 1890 and 1916. Thus the Spaniards had to unite in the creation and maintenance of associative centers, which denoted an intense network of sociability and solidarity with their countrymen. Throughout the research, it was possible to build spatial tendencies of these immigrants: sometimes they lived and built their solidarity networks in areas linked to commercial activities in the older neighborhoods of the capital of Pará.Keywords: Immigrants; Spanish; City; Memory.

Effect of Urban Computing on the Public's Perception of Place, Community, and Infrastructure

The work presented in this chapter delineates the longitudinal experience of deploying an urban computing system that enables citizens to share and interact with digital content about the urban environment and experiences of people with it. It is part of an emerging and novel aspect of urban computing that expands research beyond simple optimisations of city functions towards a social and cultural approach that seeks to orchestrate complex socio-technical ensembles. Offering Collective City Memory as a service to citizens and enabling them to interact with it via diverse novel interfaces has uncovered the implications for city life that the introduction of urban computing brings such as the redefinition of spatial and temporal proximity and the effects on the perception of city space, fostering of social interactions, contribution to shared resources and participation in collective efforts.
