This article aims to present an analysis of economic crimes that occurred in rural properties in the municipality of Toledo (Paraná). The study covers the period from 2018 to 2022, considering the records of crimes that occurred within this timeframe. The objective is to understand the patterns of incidents in the two years prior to the pandemic (2018-2019), during the pandemic period (2020-2021), and in the transitional year following the pandemic (2022). To achieve the intended objectives, the methodology consists of documentary research, using Police Reports (BO’s) registered and available through the Integrated System of the Civil Police of Paraná as the primary database. The findings reveal that theft was the most frequently reported crime in these rural properties, with criminals preferring to practice out illegal acts during the night, weekends, and the second semester. Notably, there was a decrease in the number of records during the peak of COVID-19 in 2020, attributable to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. The stolen items during these incidents were diverse, with a focus on agricultural tools/utensils, animals (cattle/poultry/fish), household utensils, and other items for personal use. The economic theory of crime contributes to explain the migration of crime of a lucrative nature to rural areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to develop a model of appropriation and use of audiovisual/digital media in rural intercultural schools applying a modeling methodology with a naturalistic approach. Teachers, directors and students from eight schools in the Araucanía region participated. In addition, a questionnaire was applied to forty-nine teachers from intercultural rural schools in the region. The elaborated model establishes that the process of changes that Chilean society is experiencing, consisting of a growing and accelerated digitization of the world of life and work, configures a complex context in which teachers deploy their educational praxis and that is conditioning the Appropriation and Use that they make of audiovisual/digital media, both in their institutional work and in their daily lives. Among other aspects, the appropriation and use of these media is expressed in the active role of the teachers in the production of their own audiovisual material, orienting it mainly to the empowerment of Being Mapuche.

Studies about youth have gained greater relevance in academia in recent years, expanding the possibilities of analysis of this category, consolidating the idea of youth as a political and social actor. This expansion of studies has highlighted the heterogeneity of young people, fostering research on the various aspects of youth. Rural youth are part of the diversity of social actors that make up the youth, and studying their dynamics and social phenomena has been an emerging need. In this sense, this article seeks to analyze rural youth under the concept of symbolic power (BOURDIEU, 1989), in an attempt to understand how power relations and symbolic domination are present in the lives of young people from Bebida Velha, a traditional rural community located in Pureza, RN. We used as analytical methodology the Discourse of the Collective Subject, which is a technique with qualitative and/or quantitative bias that aims to build a collective discourse based on individual speeches of the same social group. From the analysis of the Discourse of the Collective Subject in a qualitative way, built through 15 semi-structured interviews conducted with rural youth, we realize that the main spaces of socialization of rural youth (education, work, family, and leisure groups) can be reproducers of symbolic relations of power and domination, while representing spaces of sociability and opportunities for social change.

Initially the scientific analysis of the landscape gets highlighted with the studies of Paul Vidal de La Blache, belonging to the French school, which will focus on the concept of region and landscape, this parsed through the description of genera of life. In the early 20th century with the study of Carl Ortwin Sauer, exponent of the Anglo-Saxon school, the descriptive practice of landscape is replaced by interpretative, seeking to understand the ways in which people leave their mark on the landscape, analyzing their production activities and their settlements. From the late 1970 analysis of landscape is invigorated by the emergence of New Cultural Geography, passing through the imaginary, i.e. the non-material, covering topics such as perception, representation, experience, geossímbolos, however, without neglecting its material aspect. The analysis of the cultural landscape gains strength with an increase of the contribution of ethnomethodologies, providing intelligibility about perceptions and representations of human groups in relation to the landscape that fall, allowing you to understand how people think and act about the landscape that permeates and the hosts, and which is perceived, practiced and experienced. Thus, the present text aimed to show the various connotations of the concept of landscape, trying to emphasize the importance of the study of the cultural landscape in a rural environment, and as the ethnomethodologies can collaborate for such analysis.

The rural environment is undergoing major changes, one of which would be the abandonment of tobacco farming as part of the socio-historical-economic process of Santa Catarina regions. Smaller or peripheral areas were swallowed by modernity and urbanization, contributing in this process with their best assets: land, natural and human resources. Tobacco farming has been decreasing, with the search for modern quality of life, which has generated changes in the market and the closure of cigarette factories. In Santa Catarina, many remnants of this history have been reconverted for tourist use, such as the barns used for drying tobacco leaves, built in solid bricks and with a peculiar architecture. This remaining industrial heritage is the focus of the research, which, based on mapping and field incursions, with direct interviews, identified revitalized specimens for tourist use, giving new life and a new flow to the spaces where the plant was once cultivated. The exploratory research, of a qualitative nature, was based on bibliographic analysis, field research and the use of interviews, and such methods proved to be able to validate the following assumption: territorial externalities, such as tobacco drying barns, represent new possibilities for a rural space rediscovered, as if rising from the ashes. The answers were analyzed based on content analysis, generating categories that presented new possibilities for the use of buildings that are being − or may be − revitalized for tourist purposes, telling the story of the heyday of tobacco farming in Santa Catarina.

Introduction: Programs that have proven to be successful in the prevention of adolescent pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are characterized by offering comprehensive care that includes: sex education, promotion of life skills, access to health counseling and family planning. The rural population presents specific social and cultural situations that make it distinctive: low levels of education, accessibility and articulation with sectors, which leads to the development of a different approach by the nurse in the territory. Objective: to describe the nurse's experience in the approach to sexual and reproductive health in young people and adolescents in rural areas. Method: qualitative study with phenomenological approach. Results: four categories emerged: the first one emphasizes sexual and reproductive health education for young people and adolescents, a dynamic approach in rural areas. It is followed by the approach to sexual and reproductive health in rural youth and adolescents. The third involves the construction of the experience in the territory, and the fourth is about the pandemic that redesigned care. Conclusion: nurses must join forces with other stakeholders to enhance activities aimed at the adolescent population in rural areas, for which they must develop skills and get to know the territory in which they intervene in order to understand its worldviews. At the same time, they should rely on differential care strategies, which, according to their experiences, have proven to provide the best experience in sexual and reproductive health.

This article analyzes the relations between gender, violence and memory through a narrative constructed by a 68-year-old woman, a rural worker in a city called Lagoão, located in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In a spontaneous way, without mentioning the theme or even preparing a previous script for the interview, Nina remembered situations of domestic violence in her life that occurred during her first marriage, between the late 1960s and the 1990s. They are memories marked by suffering, a theme still barely visible in historiography (Farge, 2011). Through oral history it is possible to glimpse how our protagonist Nina works through this past of violence, as well as these ways of coping and resistance. The article thus seeks, through individual memories, to discuss a problem of high social impact, considering that gender violence constitutes a real war against women, resulting from the patriarchal organization of Latin American societies.

Over the last decades, the demographic behavior of the rural population from Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil has been variable in numbers, showing a decrease due to the youthful migration and the fall in the female fertility rate, besides the aging and the increasing of life expectancy. The article aims to analyze this behavior from the census data of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE. The selected data refer to the last three Demographic Censuses - 1991, 2000 and 2010. Fourteen cities belonging to the Regional Development Council (COREDE) Alto Jacuí - Rio Grande do Sul were analyzed. The analysis of the data indicates that the population dynamics of this COREDE is defined by the process of youth migration, as well as the increasing of aging and life expectancy of the rural population and the reduction in fertility rates. This behavior suggests that the cities of the COREDE mentioned may have difficulties in social and economic reproduction of their properties due to the exit of young people from the agricultural occupation and the rural environment. Likewise, the fertility reduction rate brings difficulties in population replacement. In addition, the aging of those who stays in the rural area is made up of older people because of the absence of young people. According to this scenario, it is necessary to think about actions and strategies to reduce these social impacts in the rural environment analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Exposure to drugs and drug use often occur in adolescence, considering the fact that rural young people present equal or higher index than young people from urban areas. By using a project called Dynamics of Creativity and Sensibility, a study was developed in a primary school located in the rural area of Chapecó City in order to find out the perceptions of adolescents about drugs and law. It was found that these rural young people have understanding of the risks involved in drug consumption. However, they have a conception of impunity regarding the legislation, only being aware of the ostensible and coercive role played by the police. Thus, actions aimed at reflecting on the laws that tackle with criminality, protection and education, as well as strategies that enable strengthening a more protective police constitute attitudes that may contribute to deal with this problem.

Social representations of rural areas are discussed within the context of social, economic and cultural changes operated on these areas in the Western world. Applying a comparative methodology we have analyzed the social representations of the rural sector present in students of fourth year of high school. For this purpose we chose a rural experimental centre- Requena’s IES No. 1- and to introduce a contrast, we chose other two centres: an urban one- IES San Vicente Ferrer in Valencia- and a suburban one –the Pléyade Torrente College. From the interpretation of the results of the surveys and of the students’ mental schemas, it has been shown that the location of the school is a factor which influences the social perceptions of students. The similarities and differences regarding the social practices and the lived space account for the real conceptions (experimental centre) or idyllic ones (contrast centres) about the rural areas.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the contribution of institutional and political actors for the construction of a smart specialization in rural areas, taking as a case study the agro-alimentary supply chain of Tagus' Valley. In this sense, it examines the institutional factors conditioning innovation performance in that supply chain and in that region. It adopts as theoretical premise the idea that sustainable development of a peripheral region whose economy is specialized in primary activities and first transformation depends on the existence of a critical mass of institutions and on the ability of intentional cooperation between them and entrepreneurs, providing collective efficiency. The research made proves that the State (in the broad sense) exerts a positive influence on the promotion of innovation but lacks a more proactive attitude and less rigidity in terms of administrative procedures. Thereof the need to strengthen trust and proximity between stakeholders, in accordance with the terms formulated in this article, in order to contribute to a greater effectiveness of smart specialization as a strategy for sustained economic regional growth.

The study aimed to identify and analyze the brazilian scientific knowledge produced in research field of Agroecology and Youth. Approach of quantitative and qualitative and of exploratory nature, the study consisted of a literature search held in the periodic Revista Brasileira de Agroecologia and Cadernos de Agroecologia between the years 2006 and 2013. The 25 selected papers were analyzed and interpreted using the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and methodology of content analysis. It was found that the research field of Agroecology and Youth is characterized by a scientific production quantitatively and qualitatively limited, focused on thematic lines formation and social reproduction. It is therefore a field of research on the rise it need more studies with greater theoretical and empirical consistency, over and beyond the thematic lines already identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this research was to evaluate the differences and determinants of intergenerational income mobility between rural and urban areas in the state of Ceará in the period between the years 1996 and 2009. At first inferred the dynamics of income mobility through Markov probability matrices, considering the extremes of the income strata above and below, where individuals are placed higher and lower levels of income respectively. According to the matrix, the chances of a child of a poor parent residing in rural Ceará achieve top quartile of income were lower in 1996 compared to 2009, suggesting an expansion of the degree of mobility in rural space temporal analysis. While there is this positive point, individuals living in urban areas still have a smoother move into the higher income quartiles. Having said that, in general, the analysis of income mobility index indicates significant divergence of income mobility between the State of Ceará, Brazil and the Northeast. Furthermore, the model results suggest a strong parametric change the attributes of the children and parents about the dynamics of income. Moreover, the fact that the individual is located in urban areas becomes irrelevant compared to those living in rural areas, indicating an improvement in intergenerational mobility in the latter.

This paper analyzes the disputes that took place in rural towns during the Buenos Aires Campaign for the control of military commands. We seek to identify the opportunities that arose during the revolutionary process to transform the local government in a context of deep contradictions between the will of the upper government to control the campaign, and the aspirations of self-government of the towns. Through this, we identify some of the components of the political cultures that were a product of a singular combination and selective appropriation of colonial traditions and revolutionary discourses.

With the emergence and progressive spread of television in Portuguese homes since the late 1950s (most of them have TVs in more than one room), computers in the 1970s and cell phones in the 1990s, there is a story that must be considered. In the Portuguese countryside, what path did its residents follow until the "domestication" (BERKER et al., 2005; SILVERSTONE, HADDON, 1996) of each kind of media – television, computer and cell phone? From the almost exclusive use in public spaces to the media integration in homes and in family and social dynamics, there was a path followed, either by the media (which is subject to constant changes), or by individuals adapting to such changes, but also requiring that the former mold itself to their needs and demands, thus making them never lose the epithet of "new". This paper presents an analysis and reflection on how the new media entered the everyday life of three family generations (grandparents, parents and children) and how these people, living in the countryside of Portugal, have transformed the appropriation of media into a continuous act. The analysis and reflections are based on empirical data collected during an investigation entitled "Screen generations in rural areas: a study of the new media in the everyday life rural of three Portuguese generations".

Water conservation is now a real and growing need due to shortages in supply sources, is the lack of quality or quantity in hydrography. This is on the assumption that water is the most precious gift to humanity and its use is complete and indispensable to the survival of all species on planet earth included. The rural practice, especially of agriculture, uses most of this good to the production of food. It seeks to accomplish this work an analysis f water use in rural areas, investigating its intrinsic use and forms of employment and reuse, aiming, also, problems involving the water crisis and alternatives to maintain this resource through which rural practices seek sustainable development and preservation of natural resources.

This study investigated the effects of race/ethnicity (r/e) match in cognitive-behavioral therapy with rural older adults. Races/ethnicities represented in this study were African-American and White. Treatment followed a CBT treatment protocol and was provided by MSWs to clients in their homes. Results indicated little evidence of differences in outcome and process for matched and non-matched dyads for number of sessions attended, changes in quality of life and psychological symptoms, overall quality of therapy sessions, or the number of sessions considered of unsatisfactory quality. Our findings are consistent with recent research on r/e matching and extend these findings to a sample of rural older adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the main problems faced for the Brazilian population is the sanitation lack and of cares with the quality of waters, mainly in the agricultural way, where systematic and permanent control of the quality of the water offered to the population does not exist and, pparently, it only exists taken of attitude when it appears some problem of health in the community. The increase of the ambient pollution caused by the new prompt and diffuse sources of pollution generates the necessity of a more efficient control of this quality, producing half for the fulfilment of Portaria 518/04 of the Health department and respecting the constitucional law to the adequate water supplying. This work demonstrates to the existing situation in agricultural communities of the city of Ângelo Saint, denoting lack of care in the implantation of the wells and problems of maintenance of the alternative system of supplying. Environmental education becomes a way of training knowledge in these areas in relation to environmental problems, care, rights and duties that must be primarily for the preservation of water, making it much more pleasing to look at children through recreational activities such as music, cartoons and puppet theater.

In the rural context, it can be seen that the modernist logic and technological capitalism has generated a series of reforms on the traditional family farming structure, separating from its actual production. This reform generates new actions and new odd objects in the traditional farming structure, becoming a new phase of capitalist expropriation on Brazilian rural areas. However, it is observed that the answers to this dilemma are focused on sustainable and socially efficient new technical alternatives: Agro ecology and pluriactivity. A revolution and a new beneficial model for traditional family farming and environment will come from these new alternatives, resulting in elimination of poverty and of environmental degradation encouraged by conservative modernization of Brazilian agriculture.
