Abstract This Project treats the urban dynamic from the perspective of the transit system and transportation in two cities of Triangulo Mineiro - Ituiutaba/MG and Araguari/MG. During this research to understand how the displacement occurs the population in the context of cities and which circumstances motivate the preferences of each citizen in the use of means of transport. In fact, the objective of this project is discuss the organization of the urban space and the relationships between the various agents of transit, such as motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians, motorists of private cars and transportation users public by bus and pointing suggestions of a reorganization Urban guided in the use of public transportation by bus and use of non-motorized modes such as cycling. To this, utilized-are three methodological processes, being that the first refers to bibliographical researches that based the aportes theorists discussed, the second in turn, covered the implementation of questionnaires and field researches in the two cities studied and the third consists in analysis of data collected in the previous step subsequent writing of the paper. From the studies can-if realize that in cities analyzed the urban system transit and transportation presents deficits regarding the urban mobility quality, ie, in Ituiutaba and Araguari car use particular is intense and lack of public policies in respect the use of the bus and the modal non-motorized further contributes to the lag of the same. It is observed that the bus lines and fleets are insufficient in the face of potential demand of the cities studied, moreover it emphasizes the intense use of motorcycle taxis by these populations, especially regarding sporadic use. In the case of bicycles, it is observed that in Araguari Ituiutaba and the use of these heavy although there is one policy for the use of the same, there cycle paths or lanes that allow the rider to secure traffic. At the end of the work from experiences in other cities of Brazil, was discussed proposals for interventions on the dynamics in urban transit systems and transportation of cities studied in order to improve urban mobility.

This research suggests the realization of a survey on the geographic aspects of Nanuque in the state of Minas Gerais, analyzing the physical elements, but without ignoring the human activities that have interfered with the natural cycle of terrestrial evolution. We have also tried to correct some mistaken conceptions that persisted of many years on the geography on the region, like its physical location inside the state, climate changes due to the decrease of the native vegetation, etc. Our research on the physical aspects of Nanuque and its surrounding area, combined with specific bibliographic references, rests on the theory of a stage of balance. The antrophic atuation through urbanization can be viewed throught the deforestation in the area, but the question of equilibrium still provokes much discussion amongst researchers who are pursuing an exact method of expressing and quantifying the environmental imbalance provoked by man. In this dissertation we have tried not just to repeat the conclusions made by other researchers, but to expand on the current body of work.

Large amounts of sediment transported by rivers, coming from the erosive action of water on the basin soil, causing degradation of water bodies and significant damages to the population, to socioeconomic development and to the natural environment. The processes of sediment production and deposition along a watershed are natural phenomena, but its effects can be magnified by the man influence through the disordered deforestation, construction, mining and improper management of agricultural activities. During the sediments transport and deposition in water bodies there is a color change in the water due to the concentration of dissolved or suspended materials. The water bodies color is directly linked to their inherent optical properties of absorption and spreading. These properties change according to the concentration, nature and types of dissolved and particulate materials in the water. The Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) is a method developed by McFeeters (1996) with the purpose of delineates features in the water, such as Active Optical Components, highlighting their presence, and found by digital images processing. The author modified the NDVI formula reversing the variables and using the green band instead of the red band in order to obtain better results attentive on water analysis. In this sense, the work is presented in order to promote by analyzes, descriptions, maps and systematic studies, the assessment of water quality NDWI method in the reservoirs of Caçu and Barra dos Coqueiros Hydropower Plants (HPPs), in Claro river, located in the southwestern portion of Goiás state - Brazil, evaluating the determination of suspended sediments method in lentic environments by multispectral images. Analyses of NDWI indices produced visually coherent data, but could not find an index for correlations between real data or even a calibration value to help in the determination of suspended sediment concentration. The NDWI method enables visual inspection of sediment yield characteristics for a given location, but must be in the same scene from the same date to become comparable. It is possible to make notes of places with higher sediment production and flow spread. Is found in the statistical analysis a low correlation between the suspended sediments concentration obtained from field sampling and from values of NDWI processing. The visual analysis of maps with the NDWI results is valid to indicate regions of interest for field sampling, analyzing patterns of sediment behavior also in rainfall seasonality periods.

This research aimed to comprehend the relations between urban expansion and sustainability. Thus, a multidisciplinary reflection concerning sustainable development and urban sustainability was accomplished and also an overview of how urban expansion is linked to quality of life within the cities, highlighting the new trends of this movement which integrates urban planning and environmental preservation. For that, a brief assessment of the historical and socioeconomic trends of Uberlandia was made, so later we could analyze the evolution of the city urban growth and, then, confront the theoretical reflections on urban sustainability with the urban growth patterns of the east side of the city. Furthermore, through a previously spatial definition and field study, the work pointed some parameters of urban sustainability in the urban expansion front of the east side of Uberlandia, Minas Gerais.

This study, entitled \"Geographic Itineraries: Think and Reflect\", aims to analyze and discuss the work of Urbanist geographer, and University Teacher, Luiz Gonzaga Falcão Vasconcellos, enjoying his contributions to Geography, considering the interrelationships of this with education, location and the city (urban); the research considered also the knowledge of connection between areas of knowledge, the university and the \"community.\" Specifically, the study aimed to analyze some work to think and reflect. Methodologically, the research developed with a view to analyze and discuss effected work and its contributions to the Geography themes and related areas. Rescue professionals and socio-cultural itineraries of a person does not mean focusing on this person, but to discuss and reflect about the trajectories, achievements and productions related to geography and its interrelations. In addition, you cannot separate the person and the teacher (geographer), since the teacher is a significant content of the person. Therefore, first, I revisited projects and other work done in the last 20 years. After this first stage, I selected some productions for consideration, as follows: Place and Urban Education; Popular Education: The City and the City; City, Urban, Public Health and Education; Urban Drawing Workshop: Children, Youth and the City, The city study and the city through music, poetry and poem: subsidies for primary and secondary education, Actions 14 - Right to the City: dialogue and brooding - university and popular communities in Uberlandia, and University and City: Convergences in Building a Participatory Urban Management(Participative Master Plan of Nova Ponte - MG). With the possible distance (at least the chronological distance), perform this route from my personal and professional experiences (important as a component of my continuing education as a geographer/teacher) is like writing chapters of an \"autobiography\" looking \"perceive myself\" in view of the endless improvement that can be experienced, if available for this. Thus, this research is divided into five chapters, namely: 1, Geography, City-Urban and Education; 2, What we have, and What we want: \"Drawing\" and Educating and Building \"Places\"; 3, Planning and Municipal Management: Participation and Citizenship; 4, City(ies), Cities in the City: Stages, Scenarios, Narratives ...and 5, Knowledge Connections: interdisciplinarities. As results, I understand that walk the paths of this research, give so many steps, review the route with different eyes and baggage from past achievements, was a journey that helped confirm the modest (but persistent) collaboration with the Education for Citizenship through the practices of Geography and socially referenced Education. An Education understood as that focused on emancipation and liberation of the historical and geographical subjects inserted in Brazilian society, which has generated for centuries an exclusive inclusion of large parts of its population. This is the reality on which I have proposed to learn and teach, thinking, reflecting and discussing ways and alternatives to overcome such situation, acting in the direction of Popular Education. This option assumed in the context of public higher education started more than 36 years, since when I searched professionally understand the social function of the university in external communities, especially the popular communities in order to connect knowledge and contribute to the prospect of rising levels of social inclusion.

This research aimed to analyze the use of Information and Communication Technology - ICT in State Public Schools of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. Its uses and applications for Geography Teachers final years of Secondary School, the research was conducted in a school central urban area, and choose the school was made after survey of 17 of the 54 schools of the State Public Network Uberlândia, MG, in order to know what possessed Computer Lab and the same were being used by their teachers. To find out if the schools had computer labs, and used ICT, we used the direct search method with questionnaire and interview to be answered by the directors of the schools and the participating teachers who actually did use ICT in their lessons. First we performed a study of quantitative data of computer equipment and then made the qualitative survey regarding the use by Geography teachers. This work presents the concepts and the history of technology; Information Technology existing in state schools of Uberlândia, and its use by professionals in the education and methodologies for using ICT as well as the difficulties encountered in implementation in the room during the Geography lessons

The study area is located in Uberlandia - MG, in the Experimental Farm of Glory, becoming an integral part of Triangulo Mineiro, located in the western portion of the state of Minas Gerais under morphostructural in Paraná Sedimentary Basin, as part of \" Morphoclimatic Domain of Cerrados \"where are found the different vegetation types that comprise the savannahs in Brazil. Among the soil more susceptible to erosion highlight the Entisols, Inceptisols, Ultisols and sandy loam Oxisols, which occur in the Cerrado region with major Latossolo to medium texture. In this context the object of study is the main channel of a gully with over 30 years of existence, it has 250 meters of extension with a maximum depth of 8 meters. This area is highly degraded by human action, marked the beginning of their exploitation by the removal of natural vegetation for pasture formation and later with exploration activity gravel. With the development of these activities and the lack of adequate management and soil conservation, soil erosion established in the area. The gully erosion processes are well developed work processes where surface and subsurface, being difficult to stabilize. The genesis of formation of gullies can arise from several causes, and can highlight the concentrated runoff, the evolution of gullies and subsidence of the ground surface due to headward erosion. Referring to these erosive processes can be applied physical, biological and soil, in order to prevent or reduce the effects of degradation. Measures physical or mechanical practices are those that make use of artificial structures in order to reduce the flow of surface water flow, intercepting it and making this happen so will minimize the loss of soil aggregates. In this context, the objective is to adapt the technical barrier palisade applied by Machado et al (2006 ) to contain sediment in a gully, where the presence of water is constant throughout the year. The technique seeks to elevate the level of base and contain sediment within the gully through adaptations made by the technical barrier of palisades. 5 stockade barriers were constructed between July 05 and September 15, 2011 , staying in monitoring these dates through the month of December 2012. 3 these barrier were constructed of wood and 2 barrier of bamboo, to identify whether there is difference in resistance between these materials. For evaluation of the proposed measures were monitored rainfall data, flow and sediment dissolved in water seeping through gully, from July 2010 until December 2012, one year before the application of the technique, and a half years after the construction of barriers. After installation of the barriers has happened ruptions of these barriers, what to made necessary to further adapt the technique, however got positive results with sediment retention until the top of one of the barriers in the study period. The results show the effectiveness of the barriers built through precipitation data, flow, sediment dispersed in water and sediment accumulated in the barriers .

Cities are configured to serve the interests of a particular dominant group, formed by the political and economic elite, which articulate with each other actions that benefit the restricted shares. Thus, the urban space, as well as social aspects, is contradictory and uneven, damaging much of the population that depends on the infrastructure, arranged by public authorities and entrepreneurs, to work, study, play, or live. Urban public policies developed in Brazil from the 1988 Federal Constitution, represented progress toward democratization of cities, as opposed to the logic of interests focused on real estate speculation. However, the instruments created by the Brazilian legislation are not used fully, hindering the formation of fair cities. The union of political agents to real estate developers and landowners results in works that disrupt the dynamics of urban space, benefiting certain regions over others. In this sense, the objective of this study is to analyze, from the Eastern Sector of Uberlandia (MG), the formation of urban space through planning legislation and policies and economic joints that result in the contradictions of the city. For this, we analyzed some important characters and events in the history of the city, the actions of entrepreneurs, politicians and the elite who designed the city from the progressive and elitist concept. The formation of urban policies in Brazil, which culminated in the Municipal Master Plans and the Statute of the City, were addressed and the Master Plans of Uberlandia (MG) analyzed. Finally, there was the study, under the critical bias, of the production of space in Sector East of the city. The choice of this sector from Uberlandia (MG), as the object of study is justified by speculative interests who designed the formation of the region\'s districts and the dynamic of investments concentrated in the sector, the major infrastructure and urban facilities in the city. The political interest for the development of the Eastern Sector is evidenced by the joints between the government and the landowners, forming, however, structured centralities and peripheries without infrastructure. The procedures used were based on research related to the authors who discuss the construction of urban space influenced by capital, the works related to urban dynamics of Uberlandia (MG) and characters, enterprises and policies that participated in the formation of urban space Eastern sector of the city. Despite the spatial area of the analysis of the production of the city, this study contains the proposal to illustrate the constitution of the urban environment by economic forces, as can occur in other locations.

This research has goal at understanding the evaluation of the environmental quality of water and sediment from the watershed Stream Pond. We also analyzed the environmental impacts of urban activities on the rise, directly focused on environmental health, based on the physical analysis, chemical and biological water and sediments. To achieve the proposed objectives, we used data collection, theoretical information regarding the topic, survey of the main points of anthropogenic degradation. The samples of water and sediments were collected in 1 high course and at the midpoint 2 course in stream Pond in the dry season and rainy. The results of physical and chemical analysis, water were framed as class II. Among the parameters analyzed are: air temperature and water; pH- hydrogen ionic potential; turbidity; CODChemical oxygen demand; BOD- biochemical oxygen demand; DO dissolved oxygen; fecal coliforms; TDS- total dissolved solids; OM- organic matter; electrical conductivity; nitrite and nitrate; chlorides and sulfates; total hardness; free residual chlorine; Hydrogen sulfide fluorides and cyanides and potentially toxic metals. We can conclude that water and sediment are non-standard physical, chemical and biological qualities allowed for parameters related to fecal coliforms, total, organic matter, phosphate, conductivity, ammonia nitrogen, iron, chromium, nickel, lead in water and copper and lead in the sediment. It was found in this research, it will take more commitment from the government in carrying out projects that enable the sustainability of the watershed Stream Pond.

This research proposes the study of the trajectory of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) and its transformations in the territory and society, since the period of its foundation (1922) to the coup d\'État of 1964 - that established a long military dictatorship in the country. With the immigrants, especially in the late 19th century and early 20th century, the anarchist and socialist ideas arrived in Brazil. The Brazil was a predominantly agrarian country and, during the period studied, goes through an urbanization and industrialization process, with major changes in their space. The rising of Brazilian worker class seeks forms of struggle and resistance. In 1922, under the influence of the Russian Revolution (1917), many combat veterans of social struggles founded the one that is the political party of longest life in the country, the PCB. Almost all of the party\'s life - in the temporal cut adopted in this research -, the PCB has kept in illegality, which derives several problems. All over its existence, the PCB adopts different policies, sometimes with a sectarian inclination, sometimes with a character of democratic formation. Due to the different policies and conjectures, the party has times of great popular support, especially in large urban centers, with workers concentrations and land conflict. After the military coup d État in 1964, when the Brazilian bourgeoisie ratified its choice for a capitalism that is dependent of the great powers and authoritative with their workers, the PCB, with a variety of reasons, has greatly diminished his expression on the national political scene.
