ABSTRACT: The objective of this research is to clarify the relation between the composition of patron saint festivals with tropeadas and the countryside regionality. Countryside regionality is perceived as a set of symbolic elements related to a geographic space of reference, stated by the subjects as “the countryside”. The methodology is grounded mainly in field studies in the rural communities of Imbituva-PR, thus, investigations and the interpretations are built from observation and active observation in festivals with tropeadas combined with a semi-structured interview with the participants. The festival is an important moment of social entanglement of rural communities and that some of the elements which constitutes them also comprehends symbolic markers that express and reproduce countryside regionality. The presence of horses, the highlight of the community, the agricultural products and the symbol of the horse riders enhance the purposes of a countryside festival, recreating symbolically elements that represents a spatial differentiation anchored to the concept of a communitarian countryside space. Keywords: rural communities; patron saint festivals; regionality; tropeadas

This study aims to present Gouveinha Port, of Paranaíba River, based on the memories of “ferrymen” responsible for people, goods, cars, buses and trucks crossings between the interiors of Minas Gerais and Goiás. It seeks to understand the past events that explain the present situation of the analyzed landscape, a territory understood as a mosaic of meetings and reunions between the cultures of Minas Gerais and Goiás in Brazilian cerrado. The research begins from the discussion about the concept of memory, in the centralizing dimension that aims to integrate the proposed debate to the reality found in Gouveinha Port, overarching the historical trajectory of its crossings constant in the memories of social subjects who have experienced such landscape in other times. It can be said that the present investigation uses the analytical and case study methods with a qualitative approach. Regarding the methodological aspects, the research was divided into two phases – documentary research (references survey) and fieldwork – and, through that, the photographic material was constructed and the report of the researched people were obtained, bringing the voices of “balseiros” as the main result of this article.

The present work has the objective to discuss the impacts of precipitation occurring in the city of Vitória da Conquista - Bahia, between the years of 1995 and 2015. To this end, we used the theoretical methodological framework System Climate Urban and Subsystem Hidrometeórico (Monteiro, 1976). For the development of research, we used the rainfall data from the Meteorological Station of Vitória da Conquista and data from reports published in the media about episodes of extreme rainfall in the city. The study of extreme events in Vitória da Conquista by means of the theory Sistema Clima Urban was extremely useful to understand the inter-relationships between the extreme events, the city and the daily life of the people in the face of these events. The analysis revealed that the events related to rainfall, affecting the population, have increased along with the expansion of the city. The factors that contributed significantly more to the worsening environmental problems arising from rainfall events extremes are: configuration of urban site, arrangement of the urban mesh, uncontrolled, soil sealing by expansion of asphalt paving, and inadequate drainage of rainwater.

The main objective of this article is to identify the main natural attributes and to discuss possible strategies to advance the sustainability of the use and occupancy processes in the Serra de Baturité. The mountain range of Baturité is home to the largest, richest and most exuberant remnant of Atlantic forest in the state of Ceará. Historically this environment has suffered from the demands arising from the complex and dynamic relationship between society and nature. The proximity to the state capital, Fortaleza, as well as the pressure exerted by the surrounding municipalities, besides the development of tourist activity and the precariousness of agricultural techniques, has caused serious environmental damage to the natural ecosystem with significant socioeconomic repercussions. After almost 27 years of its creation, new dynamics were being incorporated and some revitalized, raising the pressure on the mountain ecosystem, being necessary the establishment of new mechanisms of conservation of the local biota. One can highlight the introduction of a mosaic of Private Reserves of Natural Heritage and the reduction of the altimetric quota as tools potentially capable of fomenting, in all its dimensions, sustainability in the area of study.
