The article presents an analysis of socio-spatial fragmentation in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul/RS - Brazil - and aspects of the Master Plan in light of the current debate on urban space as expressed in the "New Urban Agenda" (UN/Habitat III - 2016). The "Community Ombudsman's Office" proposal introduces a new approach to understanding the territory through the spatialization of qualitative and quantitative data, with the aim of subsidizing public policies with an emphasis on social inclusion, involving public authorities, civil entities, academia and local communities in a democratic way in understanding and proposing actions, in a strategy that seeks to reverse the deleterious effects of socio-spatial fragmentation and contribute to the exercise of spatial justice. The article is divided into four topics: the first deals with aspects of socio-spatial fragmentation in SCS and the problematization of the Master Plan. The second analyses aspects of the dynamics of urbanization in relation to the New Urban Agenda. Next, guidelines are presented that seek to support a new understanding of the dynamics of urbanization with a focus on participatory inclusion and the Right to the City. Finally, as this is a conceptual proposal, the article has no empirical data. However, it is possible to glimpse the need to broaden knowledge of the territory through the use and democratization of GIS technologies, in order to qualify the technical-legislative framework of management institutions and to promote the incursion of new technologies.

Evidence gathered since the late 2000s has suggested that a part of the working class goes through episodes of poverty without becoming chronically poor. Drawing on a project conceived to capture successful movements that escape severe or extreme destitution and deprivation, and based on an ethnography of28 families in two public housing estates in the metropolitan area of Lisbon, this article shows how poverty emerged in their lives, under what conditions it was possible to overcome it, and how they identify the positions they have conquered within structures of inequalities and social hierarchies.

Current study analyzes landscape changes in the hydrographic basin of the stream Tamanduá in Iporá GO Brazil. Images by satellites Landsat 5 and 8 were observed to classify the landscape during 1996, 2006 and 2016. Results reveal progress in the urban area and a reduction of vegetation, with a decrease in native vegetation fragments. Iporã's urban growth generated loss of habitat due to deforestation for the construction of housing estates. The urbanization process has caused evident loss of vegetation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper brings us to a reflection about the impacts resulting from the implantation of housing estates of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program - PMCMV, directed at the low-income population (zero to three minimum wages), in areas that, in addition to being peripheral areas, are lacking in offering basic services such as healthcare, education and social welfare. The Nova Suíça and Santos Dumont housing estates, located in the city of Montes Claros/MG, were taken as an empirical object. To this end, a qualitative research was carried out, in which various procedures were use such as bibliographic, desk and field research, with the conduct of interviews with professionals working on healthcare, education and social welfare services present in the Independência area. As a result of the study, it was concluded that there is not an intersectoral and integral organization on the part of public policies, taking in to consideration the plural care of the low-income population benefiting from the PMCMV.

This paper aims to address how the Itararé Housing Estate - currently called Dirceu Arcoverde - construction was planned and implemented. It was the largest housing development project in the 1970s in Piauí, and the region with the largest population region in the capital of Piaui since then. We aimed to understand how this project was managed and took shape within the exclusionary historical and social dynamics presented to the low-income population in the period. We discuss how the challenges faced daily by these residents were connected to the contradictions experienced by Brazilian society in the 1970s - time frame of the research. Therefore, we resorted to the analysis of documentary and hemerographic sources, specially concerning the photographic records about the region displayed in local newspapers. Furthermore, we adopted the thematic Oral History methodology through interviews with the first residents of the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Africa is a constituent part of our national formation, but this perspective is not well understood by brazilians who tend to underestimate these ancestors relationships. Because of the lack of knowledge, the image that prevailed from Africa was marked by the legacy of slavery, violence, backwardness and poverty. On the other hand, since the 1970s, Africa has been seen as a "moving frontier" of Brazil in its geopolitical projection in the South Atlantic. In the Lula government context, the expansion of the brazilian "eastern frontier" occurs in tune with the strong economic growth in Africa, enabling the conquest of markets and the international provision for the country with the opening of new communities in the continent. While creating opportunities for Brazilian companies to operate in the continent, the Lula government sought to promote, internally, social policies aimed at alleviating the country's "historical debt" to Africa. In this new guideline of brazilian african politics, the perspective of building a social representation of Africa converges with the image of the enslaved African worker and its importance for the civilizational development of Brazil.
