Clay, since ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Middle East to Roman and Islamic cultures, is the primary mineral in the production of red ceramics. Ceramic products made from clay, such as bricks and tiles, are widely used today due to their quality and durability. Clay extraction, often carried out with backhoes, alters the landscape where it occurs, causing various environmental impacts. In Brazil, the red ceramic industry is traditional and produces approximately 63.6 billion pieces annually, with a consumption of around 140 megatons of clay. In the municipality of Itapecuru-Mirim/MA, 21 companies stand out in mining and red ceramic production, with millions of monthly pieces, being one of the largest producers in the state. The research aims to analyze the red ceramic industry in the municipality, aiming for a balance between the development of economic activity and the maintenance of natural resources, and to propose measures to mitigate related impacts, based on the relationship established from the Geosystem and the mapping carried out, as well as field activities. It was found that the impacts include deforestation without reforestation, degradation of springs, degradation of drainage by artificial lakes, degradation of water bodies and permanent preservation areas, potential for the development of respiratory diseases, corruption, and lack of oversight. There is also a history of the appropriation of public lands, underreporting of the quantity produced to pay fewer compensation taxes, continuous deforestation in other areas not previously delimited, the disuse of filters in chimneys, and the illegal use of electricity. A scenario of degradation was observed that significantly interferes with the dynamics of the natural environment of the locality in question, requiring the strengthening of public oversight bodies and environmental management in companies 2024-02-23T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6323 Título: Produção do espaço e infraestrutura urbana em São Luís – MA: uma perspectiva de análise do Renascença II “o bairro mais desejado da cidade” Abstact: Esta disertación tiene por objetivo analizar la producción del espacio del barrio Jardim Renascença II, uno de los barrios más valorizados de São Luís-MA, a partir de su infraestructura urbana con la intención de identificar como este se inserta a la lógica del emprendimiento urbano que favorece los intereses del sector inmobiliario. En esta perspectiva, iniciamos por una análisis que buscó identificar mediante la planificación urbana los procesos que configuraron la ciudad a partir de la intensificación del proceso de urbanización, acontecido a partir de la segunda mitad do siglo XX, con el objetivo de identificar los agentes y las acciones que repercutieron en el área que hoy corresponde al barrio Renascença II; fue realizada una caracterización de la infraestructura urbana del barrio considerando su morfología y sus sistemas técnicos a partir de un recorte metodológico que se dividió en tres ejes: el sistema viario, la oferta de servicios y equipamientos colectivos urbanos y saneamiento básico; por fin, se buscó comprender como la concepción ideológica del emprendimiento urbano se reifica en el Renascença II a partir de la infraestructura urbana de que dispone y la forma como esta favorece la actuación del capital inmobiliario. La investigación fue desarrollada considerando los siguientes procedimientos técnicos: investigación bibliográfica, investigación documental, levantamiento de datos y trabajo de campo, ancorados bajo la perspectiva del materialismo histórico-dialéctico. Así, del punto de vista del enfoque del problema de la investigación esta puede ser considerada mixta, ya que contó con un enfoque cualitativo hecho bajo el empuje de las relaciones, procesos i fenómenos que no pueden ser calculados a partir apenas de variables cuantificables, pero, también se utilizó del abordaje cuantitativo, mediante datos que aportaron informaciones de la medición de les fenómenos analizados. Con el desarrollo de la investigación fue posible identificar a los agentes que produjeron el espacio urbano de São Luís en el período observado de entre los cuales se puede destacar el Estado, en sus tres esferas, y los promotores inmobiliarios. Se identificó que estos agentes actuaron a partir de cuatro vectores que contribuyeron para la producción del espacio en la ciudad: la ampliación del sistema viario, los programas de habitación, la modernización del campo y la reestructuración productiva. El análisis hecho bajo la perspectiva del planeamiento de la ciudad permitió constatar que el Renascença II siempre fue reconocido como un barrio con tendencia a la valorización como consecuencia de su localización y “calidad urbanística”, es decir, por estar próximo al litoral de la ciudad y poseer buenas condiciones de infraestructura. Quedó evidente que esta perspectiva de reconocimiento del Renascença refleja la lógica del emprendimiento urbano, del planeamiento estratégico, al cual el barrio fue sometido a lo largo del tiempo y que lo posicionó en ventaja ubicacional como resultado de su infraestructura urbana. La análisis descriptiva de la infraestructura y de algunos de los emprendimientos inmobiliarios permitió aclarar como la localización y las infraestructuras físicas y sociales del Renascença II favorecen la atracción de las inversiones de las empresas del capital inmobiliario en el ramo de la construcción civil y como estas actividades económicas demandan más inversiones en infraestructura urbana que, por al mismo tiempo, valoriza todavía más al barrio y atrae nuevos emprendimientos inmobiliarios (residenciales y comerciales). En definitiva, todo este movimiento en torno de las actividades que se desarrollan en el barrio promueve un ciclo de (re)producción del espacio del Renascença II. 2024-01-31T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6319 Título: Influência da arquitetura carcerária no fenômeno da territorialização no Complexo Penitenciário de São Luís-MA Abstact: Prison architecture plays an important role in territorialization in the prison environment, involving the dispute and negotiation of power, the creation of collective identity and the manifestation of dominance relationships. The organization of prisons can directly influence territorialization, encouraging or discouraging the formation of territorial groups. The territorialization of prison space has implications for criminal sociology, which studies the relationship between crime and social factors in a society, and prison geography – an emerging and vibrant field of geography research, which provides perspectives for understanding the social and spatial processes involved in the prison environment. Prisoners try to establish strategies to create their own dynamics inside and outside penitentiary institutions through territorialization. The study in question sought to analyze how the architecture of prisons influences the process of territorialization in the penitentiary complex of São Luís - MA, within a micro and macro criminal sociology perspective. This was an autoethnographic research with a qualitative focus, using investigative techniques such as semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, participant observation, document and bibliographic analysis. Ten professionals from the Criminal Justice System participated directly in the research, providing answers and participating in the hearing of the questionnaires, in addition to five inmates who were impacted in some way by the State during the subversive movements in the period from 2013 to 2014. These practices resulted in a hierarchy informal among inmates, where some exercised control over others, often violently. The power dynamics in the prison space highlighted the fragility of the penitentiary system in guaranteeing the safety and integrity of inmates, in addition to revealing the inability of the State to fulfill its role of social reintegration of prisoners, reinforced by the prison architecture that did not fulfill the desired purpose. 2024-06-25T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6294 Título: Os impactos socioambientais provocados pela produção de energia solar fotovoltaica: um estudo de caso da comunidade Salinas no município de Ribeira do Piauí Abstact: Given its favorable natural characteristics and governmental incentives, Piauí has become a major attractive center for investments related to solar energy production. Celeo Redes Brasil, which has a working solar park in São João do Piauí, is working on the construction of a new one, with an investment of approximately 1.5 billion Brazilian reais. Ibitu Energia opened the Caldeirão Grande 2 energy complex in the municipality of Caldeirão Grande in April 2023, with an installed production capacity of 252 MW and an estimated investment of 816 million Brazilian reais. All these investments have been bringing visibility to the State of Piauí, however, it is necessary to discuss how the installation and development of these projects are being carried out, and whether governmental inspections are taking place, especially regarding the limits of fauna and flora, as well as the quality of life of the local community, as these are the people who live directly with the changes caused by the arrival of these ventures. In the implementation and operation of a solar park, the landscape can be compromised, with considerable loss of vegetation cover, generating considerable impacts on local ecosystems, modifying the fauna and flora development cycles. Another problem that can be observed is related to the physical and social structure of the cities that receive these investments, usually small towns, which face a series of socioeconomic problems. This research addresses the landscape category through a case study of solar energy production in the municipality of Ribeira do Piauí, specifically in the Salinas community. This municipality was chosen because it is home to one of the largest solar parks in South America, Nova Olinda Solar Park. To understand the dynamics of the landscape that involves this whole process, this study works with the following general objective: To analyze the socio-environmental impacts caused by the production of solar energy in the municipality of Ribeira do Piauí, specifically in the Salinas community. Specific objectives are: highlight the activities developed by the Nova Olinda Solar Park, identify the socio-environmental impacts caused by the production of photovoltaic solar energy at the Nova Olinda Solar Park, and evaluate the local community's perception about the production of solar energy at the Nova Olinda Solar Park in that municipality. The geosystemic method was used to contemplate the objectives of this study, its methodological path involves the use of geoprocessing to process data related to the study, as well as questionnaires and interviews applied to a portion of the residents of the Salinas Community and other social groups that have a relationship or affinity with the proposed theme. In addition to this, the results published by the environmental impact report about the Nova Olinda Solar Park, where these data were discussed and compared with the perception of local residents, were also analyzed. It is known that the production of solar energy provides a series of positive impacts, contributing to the expansion of the national energy matrix and the environment, however, this work points to the existence of socio-environmental impacts influenced by the arrival of the enterprise in question, which makes it necessary to debate this topic. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
