Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise dos circuitos de produção, reprodução e subsistência do transporte hidroviário de passageiros nas ilhas da Região Metropolitana de Belém: uma contribuição para a revitalização do setor(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-03-25) FERREIRA, Regina Célia Brabo; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963The objective of this research is to describe and analyze the functionality of the system of water transportation of passengers of the islands of the Metropolitan Region of Belém (RMB). We sought a theoretical construction based mainly on the approaches of Milton Santos, Pierre Bourdieu, the National Association of Public Transport, and Eduardo Vasconcellos. From this theoretical reference, the thesis explains that the conditions for water transportation in general are related to theories of division of the space where power consumption and income is what determines the spatial integration of individuals. And that therefore, the transport service in the Islands of the RMB, operated by the logic of the market, spatially excludes those who do not have that power. The knowledge of that reality was based on field research conducted in 20 islands of the RMB. We used the techniques of observation and interviews to explain the dynamics of displacement of the riverside population, identifying circles of production, reproduction and subsistence. The first two circles closely resemble the theory of Milton Santos of upper circuit, represented by Belem, and lower circuit, represented by the islands. The circuit of subsistence is born within the lower circuit from the strong relationship that exists between the islands themselves, as a strategy of mobility to receive aid for basic health, education and transport services. We used factor analysis to obtain a ranking of the islands according to the conditions of transport, and regression analysis to explain the demand for travel in the islands. The demand increases, basically, when income and population increase. Proposals for the revitalization of the water transport sector resulted in the identification of new transportation routes and improvements in infrastructure, piers and boats.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da sustentabilidade do desenvolvimento do município de Altamira (PA) sob a ótica dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (Agenda 2030) das Nações Unidas utilizando a ferramenta barômetro da sustentabilidade(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-26) QUINTELA, Patrick Diniz Alves; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963In recent decades, there have been more debates related to environmental damage that has been causing changes at a global level, according to the understanding of the finitude of natural resources. The Amazon figures as a protagonist when thinking about the protection of the global ecological heritage. Given its importance, the largest tropical forest in the world has been contemplated with several projections to preserve it. Altamira is a municipality in the center of the Legal Amazon and figures as a reflection of the main problems faced in this territory. Traditional populations coexist with agribusiness, and both are flooded by large projects, although one side benefits more. The rural and the urban areas also provide the municipality with a contrast that makes it especially difficult to point out or even define what would be sustainable. Despite the numerous conflicts that do not allow this territory to homogenize, this thesis sought to carry out a socio-environmental analysis based on the axes of human well-being and environmental well-being, of multidisciplinary nature, for the municipality of Altamira, based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) launched in 2015 by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and thus evaluate the main obstacles to the full sustainable development of the municipality. To obtain the results, the methodology used is called the Barometer of Sustainability (BS) and is the result of the major global conventions that debate the courses that take the social, economic, and environmental dimensions. The results obtained showed that Altamira has an intermediate level for sustainability and reflects the need for a special look of the government to the indicators related to the great socio-economic axis as well as the need for the elaboration of strategies to remedy and contain the problems related to the great environmental axis. It was then concluded that the municipality of Altamira is far from achieving the goals established by the 2030 agenda, but that it presents breath and has demonstrated subtle changes that are moving towards achieving such objectives. Finally, although limited, this thesis was intended to date a result and create a basis for future research that aims to analyze, add, or even refute results obtained for the municipality of Altamira.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Brazilian migration to Guyana as livelihood strategy: a case study approach(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-07-13) CORBIN, Hisakhana Pahoona; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963This mixed method case study was conducted with focus on Brazilian migration to Guyana as a livelihood strategy. The study examined, described and analyzed the migration and adaptation process, and the socioeconomic and physical environmental impacts and concerns of the livelihood activities adopted by these migrants in Guyana. Questionnaires, interviews, documentaries, archival records, and observations (direct and participant) were utilized to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon under study. The study confirms that throught a strong networking system, Brazilians from lower socioeconomic and cultural classes are able to adopt migration as a livelihood strategy, as they migrate in a step-wise manner along a well-defined route to Guyana. Maintaining this networking system, migrants have been able to respond swiftly to new livelihood activities both internally and internationally. In Guyana, mining and prostitution are the major livelihood activities that have given rise to both positive and negative socioeconomic consequences and concerns and, negative environmental impacts.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Um estudo sobre a migração de japoneses para a Amazônia peruana e sua continuação para a Amazônia brasileira(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-05-29) SILVA NETO, Francisco Rodrigues da; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963The arrival of Japanese immigrants to Peru, aboard the ship Sakura Maru, in 1899, to work on the farms of the Peruvian coast, coincides with the heydays of rubber exploitation in the Amazon, which made this region attractive to migrants who did not remain in these farms. In the same year of the arrival of the ship Sakura Maru, 91 of these immigrants moved to the current department of Madre de Dios south of the Peruvian Amazon. After the cycle of exploitation of rubber, many Japanese immigrants remained in the Amazon and in Madre de Dios they settled around Puerto Maldonado, emerging a thriving Japanese community that remains up today. At the time of rubber exploitation some Japanese migrated to the current state of Acre (Brazil), called Peru kudari (those that descended from Peru), but few settled, spreading themselves, after the collapse of the rubber economy, to other places of Brazil and other countries. Thus, this thesis aims to demonstrate that migration of Japanese to the department of Madre de Dios in the Peruvian Amazon, and the emergence and consolidation of a Japanese community in Puerto Maldonado (capital of this department), were caused by three main factors: 1 ) a continuous policy in favor of Japanese immigration to Peru during the first decades of the twentieth century aimed to provide labor to the farms of sugar cane and cotton of the coast; 2) Involvement of Japanese immigrants in economic activities during the expansion of rubber exploitation in the Peruvian Amazon; and 3) Strengthening of these activities after the collapse of the rubber economy to ensure the supply of products required for the remaining population, including replacing of products imported or supplied by large companies. These factors were not found among Japanese who moved to Acre (Brazil), thus not getting the setting of Japanese communities that remained until today. The sources used in this study were composed of literature on international migration, data from the Peruvian and Brazilian censuses, newspapers of the time, diplomatic documents, and provincial reports, among others. The thesis is a study of historical demography using quantitative and qualitative data, in the quest to understand the historical process of the research object, in order to explain the developments that occurred in the communities of Japanese immigrants both in Madre de Dios (Peru) and Acre (Brazil).Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) “Eu voltei, agora pra ficar!”: um estudo sobre as estratégias empreendedoras adotadas por dekasseguis retornados no Estado do Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-03-07) FERNANDES, José Augusto Lacerda; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963Depending on the importance of business activity for the conduct of return migration, particularly with regard to mitigating the risks and problems typically experienced by the protagonists of such offsets, this thesis aimed to understand and explain the process of formation of entrepreneurial strategies adopted by these immigrants returned to the state of Pará. To this end, we developed an eminently qualitative case study, using a large data set, highlighting the narratives obtained through semi-structured interviews, proceeded not only with individuals who have created business after returning from Japan, but also with managers of organizations involved with the movement dekasseguis in a broader sense. The findings have resulted in a model of very wide analysis and multi-scale character, which promotes a deeper understanding of the migratory trajectories and observed business initiatives, able to capture a series of elements that come together in the design and development process strategies in view. Through it was possible to defend the thesis that: the business strategies adopted by these immigrants returned were formed by combinations of opportunities and constraints existing at each stage of their migratory paths economic, sociocultural and political/institutional character as well, and the spatial context time that her actions were. This reinforces, in turn, the need to use mixed methods and sociological approaches in the study of these phenomena. Besides, of course, providing an interesting set of considerations and recommendations to students of the subject and practitioners from the field, aspiring to be dekasseguis, dekasseguis returnees who have already started their own businesses, leaders nikkey associations, managers of federal and state agencies, among others.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Guyanese migration and remittances to Guyana: a case study if their potentials and challenges for Guyana's economy(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) CORBIN, Hisakhana Pahoona; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963This mixed method case study was conducted with focus on the potentials and challenges of migration and remittances on Guyana’s economy. The study examined, described and analyzed Guyana’s major migratory flows, which continue to lead to inflows of monetary and nonmonetary remittances to Guyana. Questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions, archival records, and observations (direct and participant) were utilized to gain an in-depth understanding of the issue under study. The study confirmed that 56% of the Guyanese population has been lost to migration. As Guyanese continue to migrate, there are greater flows the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom. The study further confirms that nonmonetary remittances accounts for approximately 13% of monetary remittances to Guyana. The study also confirms a significant dependence on remittances by households to meet their basic needs, which further confirms the vulnerability of Guyana’s economy in response to shocks on the economies of the USA, Canada and the UK. In-spite of these flows of migrants and remittances, no policy on migration and remittances has been incorporated into policies for development to unlock the potential benefits for the Guyanese economy. While dimensions of migrations such as brain-drain were and still are sometimes perceived a hindrance to development, this study confirms that migration and remittances could impact positively on Guyana’s economy if appropriate policy instruments are elaborated and integrated into a policies and comprehensive development framework for Guyana.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Os Koutakusseis e os ideais do expansionismo japonês na Amazônia(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-11-30) MUTO, Reiko; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze the migratory process of the koutakusseis and its relationship with the Japanese expansionist policy. It also approaches the demographic and socioeconomic profile of the koutaku group tha remained in the Brazilian Amazon and the socioeconomic and cultural contributions of these immigrants and their descendants. This research presents the demographic history of a group of Japanese immigrants composed of more than 500 people who settled in Parintins – municipality of Amazonas state – in the 1930s. This case study intends to provide an explanation for the motivation underlying the decision of such group in coming to the Amazon and the causal connection with the political intervention in the geopolitics, marked by xenophobia and institutional racism. It is also focused in explaining the reasons why they failed to establish themselves as an agricultural colony in the state of Amazonas, unlike what happened in Tomé-Açu colony in Pará state. In this process, we adopted the inductive method in the theoretical and empirical interpretations to investigate the facts as well as a theoretical-methodological instrument in interdisciplinary approach. The data analysis concludes that the colonization idealism headed by the politician Tsukasa Uyetsuka, the Kotaro Tuji’s dream of the jute cultivation and the koutakusseis saga are related to the historical context of Japan’s feudal system transition into an economic and territorial connection with the Japanese military expansionism that took place in Manchuria, China. The former may be considered a commercial expansionism, since it was an agricultural colonization enterprise, forested by the spontaneous grating of lands by the Amazonian government, seeking for alternatives to overcome the economic stagnation span after the rubber crisis.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Migração internacional na Pan-Amazônia: um estudo sobre a migração venezuelana e o acolhimento dos migrantes em Boa Vista-RR e Belém-PA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-08-26) SODRÉ, Danilo Ferreira; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963Considering the recent unfolding of migratory phenomena around the globe, it is necessary to address the displacements that are present in the regional context of Latin America and the Pan Amazon. Within this reality, the migration of Venezuelans towards other countries has gained relevance and attention not only from academia, but also from humanity. The intense flow to countries considered Amazonian draws attention. Brazil presents itself as one of the most sought after destinations of this migration. The label of crisis migration is valid because of the latest events in Venezuela, such as the lack of supplies like food and medicine. However, the hypothesis raised is that this migration is not exclusively a crisis migration, but also a spontaneous labor migration. In this sense, we analyze this migration and its unfoldings to explain how this displacement to the cities of Belém-PA and Boa Vista-RR occurs. Supported by the methodology of mixed studies, the research involves techniques of data collection from a survey and bibliographic analysis; survey and document analysis; and the guided/individual interview used in a field work carried out in Boa Vista. Thus, it is observed that, although most of this migratory flow of Venezuelans to Brazil, to the Amazon, more specifically to the cities of Belém-PA and Boa Vista-RR, are considered as a crisis migration, it could be seen that there is also the understanding of the presence of a labor migration, especially that displacement of Venezuelans to the capital of Roraima, which is characterized as the displacement of people in search of employment opportunities to improve their lives.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Migração, sistemas sociais e uso dos recursos naturais: O caso de uma comunidade agrária do Nordeste Paraense, Amazônia Oriental(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-01-04) MELO JÚNIOR, Luiz Cláudio Moreira; EMMI, Marília Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4619867698790381; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963The present work deals with the relationships between migration, social systems and the use of natural resources in the community of São Luís do Caripi, Municipio of Igarapé-Açú, State of Pará. The goal is to identify how the migration, seen as an intervening variable, affects the patterns of use and access to natural resources and social system community of the São Luís do Caripi. It starts from the assumption that migration is a factor of extreme importance in both the use of natural resources and the role of social systems. It was found that migration can result in new patterns of access and use of natural resources, and may put pressure on these resources, affecting the ecological footprint of a given area, understood as the human impact on the environment. It is understood also that the migration factor can function as an organizer or disarticulating the social system.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O papel das redes sociais na migração contemporânea de gaúchos em Roraima(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) STAEVIE, Pedro Marcelo; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963This study’s main aim was to understand and to explain the role of social networks in the contemporary migration of Gauchos to Roraima. Since the 1960s there has been an increase in the number of people borne in Rio Grande do Sul that reside in this state. During the years 1970, 1980 and 1990, some incentives and calls were fundamental to the migration of Gauchos to Roraima, namely: Project Rondon, the Advanced Campus of the Federal University of Santa Maria, the Military Police of Roraima, the Armed Forces and the agricultural colonization project. Currently, from an a priori stance, there is no evidence of attractive forces that they could motivate Gauchos to reside in Roraima. Yet the flow of Gauchos to this state is reflecting a steady increase. We try to understand why this has been occurring. Although the incentives and calls are finished, the migration of Gauchos to this state, which is so different and with so little appeal, continues to increase. This is what we tried to understand in this current research. The research focused on Gauchos who arrived between 2000 and 2011 in Roraima. A total of twenty-eight (28) heads of households were interviewed. For comparative purposes we further interviewed ten (10) Gauchos who had arrived in the years 1970, 1980 and 1990. The methodological approach was based on the analysis of oral reports given by respondents. Additionally, there were bibliographic and documentary reviews, and population data elicited from official sources. However, to understand migration as a social fact, a historical analysis of the socioeconomic and demographic transformations of the states of origin and destination, RS and RR, respectively was first done. Secondly, a historical review was conducted on the migration of Gauchos to the Amazon and to Roraima in particular, during the 1970s and 1980s. Finally, the analysis of contemporary migration among Gauchos to Roraima, based on oral reports given by respondents, was undertaken. The findings confirm that social networks of kinship, friendship and place of origin play a central role in this migratory flow and are therefore crucial for the adaptation and fixation of migrants in Roraima. Given the conditions and economic structure of Roraima State, the research confirms that the Gauchos who currently migrate to Roraima depend on social relations that have been established with gauchos already residing in this state. Without these ties Gauchos would not be migrating to resettle in Roraima.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Planos de desenvolvimento e desigualdade de transporte em Barcarena(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-26) PATRÍCIO, Júlio Cezar dos Santos; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963The objective of this research is to analyze, in an interdisciplinary perspective, the inequalities in the transportation system generated by the implementation of the Barcarena Industrial District (DIB), between the system available for the necessary transportation to the large installed enterprises and the system offered for the necessary transportation of the traditional communities and other people marginalized by the implementation of the DIB, equipment that impacts on the improvement of the municipal income level (economic growth), without generating development, improvement of public services in general, and the transportation of people and cargo in Barcarena, in particular. The thesis relates the development plans for Amazonia to their objectives, the management of governments, and the unequal treatment of the transportation system, favoring companies. This reality was understood and analyzed from field research in the five municipal districts, when observation procedures, document analysis and interviews were performed. Thus, even considering the preference for corporate logistics, it was noticed the reduced investment in infrastructure, the main factor of demand by companies, to achieve greater profitability each year. Otherwise, even if there are innovative and up-to-date urban development and mobility plans, they are not implemented and the population is displaced to peripheral spaces, being isolated and deprived of public policies on transport services. This is the result of the absence of collective actions that reduce transport inequalities, a sign of the low convergence of municipal management, business and civil society objectives that benefit the transport system. The transport system that serves the population has remained in the same operation, regardless of spatial changes since the 1980s. In particular, river transport, which by its characteristics, encourages and preserves solidarity, cultural identity, citizenship and community network; elements that strengthen collective memories and redefine boundaries that identify their importance for life in Barcarena and the AmazonItem Acesso aberto (Open Access) Regularização fundiária de assentamentos urbanos informais: fator de fixação de população de baixa renda ou promoção do mercado imobiliário formal? o caso do Assentamento Bengui - Etapa 2, Belém-PA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-28) SILVA, Maria do Carmo Campos da; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963This study deals with the urban land regularization of social interest, which as a public policy aims to guarantee the social right to housing, through the adoption of legal, urban, social and environmental measures for predominantly low-income families that informally occupy urban spaces. The research was carried out in the informal urban settlement called Bengui - Etapa 2 located in the Bengui neighborhood, which was subject to land regularization in 2013 Programa Municipal de Regularização Fundiária do Município de Belém “Chão Legal”. The study analyzed whether these actions contributed to the permanence of families in the regularized settlement or if they only made it possible to enter new lots in the formal real estate market. The research combined evidence of quantitative and qualitative orders, and identified that of the 287 regularized lots, the number of families that remained after regularization was above ninety per cent. Through interviews it was obtained the point of view of the residents as to the factors that contribute to the families that have had their regularized properties remain or abandon the settlement after land regularization, as well as the factors that induce other people to seek this area as a place of residence. A brief analysis was also carried out on the real estate valuation in the settlement and in the Bengui neighborhood under the perspective of appropriation of this valuation by the real estate market, by the municipality and by the residents. For the residents of the Bengui-Step 2 settlement, the location of real estate, which favors access to the various services used in their daily lives, is the most relevant factor for the permanence of the families in the place, and as complementary factors related: the existing infrastructure at local level even if it does not meet all of their needs, the already established support links in the area and the security they attribute to the titling of their property against possible threats of eviction, as occurs in areas not regularized in the name of the occupants. Despite recognizing the appreciation of real estate arising from land regularization, they were not likely to dispose of their regularized lots
