The Palestinian Drama: Land Dispossession, Apartheid, and Genocide
In October 2023, the historic conflict between Israel and Palestine, which began in 1948, made headlines in the international press. However, the mainstream western media’s narrative on the issue omits the underlying motive behind Israel’s disproportionate response to Hamas attacks, downplays the genocidal campaign against Palestinians, and downplays Prime Minister Netanyahu's escalation of the conflict. Given the complexity of the issue, this article seeks, through a geopolitical analysis of the Palestinian drama, to highlight the process of apartheid and genocide, which are accompanied by the State of Israel's land grabbing.

Considerations on the methodological foundations of Jean Tricart's work and its reflexes on brazilian geomorphology
Geomorphology in Brazil had its first steps and major ruptures under the influence of foreign geographers, mainly French. These researchers contributed a lot to the methodological organization of research in Geomorphology in Brazil. Among these geographers stands out Jean Tricart. To understand the directions taken by geomorphological research in Brazil, it is necessary to seek its epistemological roots and understand some debates, including philosophical ones about Nature. In this context, this brief contribution aims to elucidate how Jean Tricart, a French geographer with an important role in the constitution of Brazilian Geomorphology, became the bridge between discussions of nature undertaken from organic conceptions of nature and Brazilian Geomorphology. Jean Tricart was influenced by a discussion of Organic Nature, initiated in Ancient Greece, rescued by Kant and his successors, later discussed in the General Theory of Systems, current followed and defended by Tricart. He, in turn, influenced the works of Brazilian geographers who addressed the territorial dynamics and the anthropization of the landscape, either directly or indirectly.
Geography and communication in indigenous territory: the culture of the naming ritual of the Boe (Bororo) people
: Geography is a science that values ​​and rescues traditional knowledge and, therefore, communication is necessary as a tool to access the territories of traditional peoples, as communication takes place in various forms, from writing to bodily representations. The territory is imbued with symbolism and characteristics of certain groups, it is the basis for recovering the cultural roots that define the specificities of the subjects who live there. The indigenous territory is one of the territories that brings in its material and immaterial manifestation the framework of struggles, customs, identity, conflicts, rituals and social relations that strengthen the village's collective bond. The indigenous territory of the Bororo people is full of traditions that value their customs and cultural practices, one of the rituals of great importance for the village is the naming ritual. The methodology of this work relies on fieldwork carried out during the geography and communication discipline, in addition to a bibliographical survey on the research topic. The results obtained show the importance of the territory of indigenous peoples for understanding various social and cultural aspects, as well as knowing part of the ancestry of the Brazilian people, in addition to understanding that communication takes place in various ways, mainly in the concrete reality of the territories.

Communication and geography: narratives about the study in the Meruri Village of the Bóe-Bororo indigenous people
Considering the Humanist Geography that recognizes local narratives and the representativeness of experiences, historical origins related to places and also values ​​narratives that reveal traditions, memories and subjectivity, this work used autoethnographic reporting as a methodological resource and praxis. We sought to support self-reflexive texts based on theories and thinkers from Geography, Autoethnography and Communication, to “put in common” realities that were less explored by traditional/conservative scientific production. This work intends to do justice to the proposals of the Master's in Geography and the Communication and Geography discipline, also expressing as fully and deeply the perceptions about the space of Aldeia Meruri, of the Boe Bororo indigenous people.

Impacts inherent to occupation in the city of São Raimundo Nonato - Piauí
Especially in the 1970s, issues related to the environment gained prominence, when the scientific community warned about lifestyles based on the indiscriminate appropriation of natural resources, as well as the intensive and extensive use and occupation of land, which negatively impacts socio-economic, environmental and cultural aspects through changes in the dynamics of physical systems, affecting people's quality of life. In this context, the main objective of this work was to understand the socio-environmental impacts in less complex urban environments, focusing on the urbanization processes in São Raimundo Nonato/PI. Based on the Systemic Analysis, promoted by Mendonça's Urban Environmental System (U.E.S.) (2004), it was found that the city of São Raimundo Nonato, despite falling into the category of a small city, is periodically affected by serious hydro-meteorological damage, such as flooding, which occurs annually during the rainy season, and by the way the urban settlement is organized near the Piauí River. Thus, regardless of the size or urban structure of a given inhabited area, the relationship between society and nature inevitably generates different levels of socio-environmental and economic impacts in cities.
Urban networks and arborescence: a view of rhizome connections
The study of urban networks can be considered the main theme of this text. Considering this, it is necessary to ask whether traditional approaches to urban networks effectively explain the concrete reality? In order to conduct the initial discussion, a connection was sought between these concepts and other unorthodox approaches, such as the idea of ​​rhizome and arborescence by Deleuze and Guattari (1995). To this end, the text presents some considerations on urban networks with Rochefort (1998) and Christaller (1933), followed by a conceptualization of rhizome and arborescence, a contrast between the forms, and the final considerations. The chosen approach was a literature review. Since this is an introductory text that aims to raise the debate on these possibilities, the literature chosen was quite limited, mainly due to the complexity of the theory involved. In its conclusion, it was understood that it is necessary to criticize the rigid form of theories involving the idea of ​​hierarchization of centers, seeking a way, in social diversity, to manifest itself in networks, leading them to a dynamic much closer to the conception of rhizome.

Observatory of the Brazilian Social State: disseminating why the State matters!
This article aims to present the scientific communication strategy of the Observatory of the Brazilian Social State. Created in January 2020 through a partnership between the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), the State University of Goiás (UEG), and the Goiano Federal Institute (IFGoiano), the project, envisioned by Professor Tadeu Alencar Arrais, functions as an online platform that seeks to offer the general community, in different formats, a geographical perspective on the importance of the Social State in a country marked by continental dimensions and great diversity and inequality such as Brazil. Beyond a research effort, the project is configured as a scientific communication channel. In this article, we present the project's proposal and some of the main products developed by the research group. We understand that the project is an important means for the dissemination of critical geographical knowledge about the importance of the Social State's role, which can contribute to a more informed and conscious society.
Geografia e comunicação: o Hip Hop como ferramenta de contra-ordem das forças verticais da cidade
O presente trabalho se apoia na Geografia Cultural para apresentar o Hip Hop como uma ferramenta de comunicação das forças horizontais da cidade. Sendo a cidade, para Milton Santos, um grande sistema com diversidade socioespacial, nela encontram-se tendências verticalizantes regidas pelos poderes do capital, ao mesmo tempo em que abrangem as forças oriundas do local, das horizontalidades que não incorporam, de seu todo, tais tendências. Para tanto, apoia-se no levantamento bibliográfico e na análise crítica para apresentar o Hip Hop como uma prática sociocultural que contribui para a compreensão dos territórios periféricos e suas identidades, além de apresentar temas passíveis de desvelarem a dinâmica social da cidade em suas verticalidades e horizontalidades. Geography and communication: Hip Hop as a tool for counter-order against the vertical forces of the city Abstract: This work relies on Cultural Geography to present Hip Hop as a communication tool for the horizontal forces of the city. According to Milton Santos, the city is a vast system with socio-spatial diversity, where verticalizing trends governed by the powers of capital exist alongside local forces, or horizontalities, that do not fully incorporate these trends. To this end, it draws on bibliographic research and critical analysis to present Hip Hop as a sociocultural practice that contributes to understanding peripheral territories and their identities, as well as to highlight themes that reveal the social dynamics of the city in both its vertical and horizontal aspects. Keywords: City; peripheral territory; popular communication; Hip Hop. Geografía y comunicación: el Hip Hop como herramienta de contraorden de las fuerzas verticales de la ciudad Resumén: El presente trabajo se apoya en la Geografía Cultural para presentar el Hip Hop como herramienta de comunicación de las fuerzas horizontales de la ciudad. Siendo la ciudad, para Milton Santos, un gran sistema con diversidad socioespacial, en ella se encuentran tendencias verticalizantes regidas por los poderes del capital, al mismo tiempo que abarcan las fuerzas provenientes del local, de las horizontalidades que no incorporan, en su totalidad, tales tendencias. Para ello, se apoya en el levantamiento bibliográfico y en el análisis crítico para presentar el Hip Hop como una práctica sociocultural que contribuye a la comprensión de los territorios periféricos y sus identidades, además de presentar temas susceptibles de desvelar la dinámica social de la ciudad en sus verticalidades y horizontalidades. Palabras-clave: Ciudad; territorio periférico; comunicación popular; Hip Hop.
The importance of journals in scientific divulgation in Brazil
Abstract: This article aims to demonstrate the importance of scientific journals in geography in the context of scientific dissemination, which represent, from the intensification of the globalization process, one of the fastest ways of transmitting knowledge, discoveries and theories. They therefore play an important role in ensuring scientific development in the most diverse regions of the world.
Narratives in transit: the geography of communication and the popularization of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet
This article investigates the role of public media and the online circulation of audiovisual content in the global dissemination of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Quartet, relating it to the growth of literary tourism in Naples. Using an interdisciplinary approach between communication, geography and cultural studies, we analyze how these phenomena promote local culture and internationalize works. The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism report (Nielsen and Fletcher, 2023) highlights the influence of public media in shaping public opinion and promoting local culture, while studies by Szczepanik, Zahrádka and Macek (2020) provide insights into the online dissemination of the work. The geography of Naples, with its urban and cultural spaces, is explored as an essential factor in the construction of Ferrante's narratives and tourist attraction. It also analyzes how the concepts of common culture and accessibility, proposed by Raymond Williams (1958), shape the cultural relevance of the Quartet. It is concluded that the media play a fundamental role in the construction of images of Naples, influencing both tourist perception and the global reception of Ferrante's works.
Segurança hídrica no município de Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brasil: uma análise do cenário pós-transposição
O município de Campina Grande, situado no Agreste paraíbano, sempre enfrentou o desafio da escassez do abastecimento de água. Historicamente, diversos projetos alternativos de abastecimento foram colocados em prática, tendo se mostrado, todos eles, fracassados nesse propósito. O Açude Epitácio Pessoa, no município de Boqueirão - Paraíba (PB, é a atual fonte de abastecimento de água do município de Campina Grande - PB. Construído como promessa de solução efetiva no combate à seca, com o passar dos anos, se mostrou insuficiente em razão da dependência e vulnerabilidade, frente às condições climáticas. A partir de 2007, um antigo projeto passa a ser executado. Trata-se do Projeto de Integração da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio São Francisco com as Bacias do Nordeste Setentrional, conduzindo água a várias localidades, dentre elas ao açude Epitácio Pessoa. Com a chegada das águas da transposição, considerando o aumento do volume de água no açude, alguns órgãos de imprensa passaram a noticiar que Campina Grande vivencia uma situação de segurança hídrica. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo, analisar se é adequado considerar que o município de Campina Grande vivencia uma situação de Segurança Hídrica. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa pode ser classificada como estudo de caso, considerando que busca investigar um fenômeno contemporâneo, dentro de seu contexto real. Os principais resultados apontam para a impossibilidade de se atribuir a condição de Segurança Hídrica ao município. A pesquisa demonstrou enorme potencial científico, uma vez que correlaciona um fato social com conceitos e teorias, cientificamente consolidados, contribuindo, dessa forma, para a tomada de decisão dos atores políticos de todas as esferas governamentais, no sentido de se promover o uso sustentável da água Seguridad hídrica en el municipio de Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brasil: un análisis del escenario post-transposición Resumen: El municipio de Campina Grande, ubicado en la región de Agreste, Paraíba, siempre ha enfrentado el desafío de la escasez de suministro de agua. Históricamente se pusieron en práctica varios proyectos de abastecimiento alternativo, todos los cuales resultaron infructuosos en este propósito. La Presa Epitácio Pessoa, en el municipio de Boqueirão - Paraíba (PB), es la actual fuente de abastecimiento de agua para el municipio de Campina Grande - PB. Construido como una promesa de una solución eficaz para combatir la sequía, con el paso de los años demostró ser insuficiente debido a la dependencia y vulnerabilidad ante las condiciones climáticas. A partir de 2007 se empezó a implementar un antiguo proyecto. Se trata del Proyecto de Integración de la Cuenca del Río São Francisco con las Cuencas del Nordeste, entregando agua a varias localidades, incluida la represa Epitácio Pessoa. Con la llegada de las aguas de transposición, considerando el aumento del volumen de agua en el embalse, algunas agencias de prensa comenzaron a informar que Campina Grande vive una situación de seguridad hídrica. En este contexto, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar si es apropiado considerar que el municipio de Campina Grande experimenta una situación de Seguridad Hídrica. Utilizando un enfoque cualitativo, la investigación puede clasificarse como un estudio de caso, considerando que busca investigar un fenómeno contemporáneo, dentro de su contexto real. Los principales resultados apuntan a la imposibilidad de atribuir el estatus de Seguridad Hídrica al municipio. La investigación demostró un enorme potencial científico, ya que correlaciona un hecho social con conceptos y teorías científicamente consolidados, contribuyendo así a la toma de decisiones de los actores políticos de todos los ámbitos de gobierno, con el fin de promover el uso sostenible del agua.

Water security in the municipality of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil: an analysis of the post-transposition scenario Abstract: The municipality of Campina Grande, located in the Agreste region of Paraíba, has always faced the challenge of water supply shortages. Historically, several alternative supply projects were put into practice, all of which proved to be unsuccessful in this purpose. The Epitácio Pessoa Dam, in the municipality of Boqueirão - Paraíba (PB), is the current source of water supply for the municipality of Campina Grande - PB. Built as a promise of an effective solution to combat drought, over the years, it proved to be insufficient due to dependence and vulnerability in the face of climatic conditions. From 2007 onwards, an old project began to be implemented. This is the Integration Project for the São Francisco River Basin with the Northern Northeast Basins, delivering water to several locations, including the Epitácio Pessoa dam. With the arrival of the transposition waters, considering the increase in the volume of water in the reservoir, some press agencies began to report that Campina Grande is experiencing a water security situation. In this context, the present research aims to analyze whether it is appropriate to consider that the municipality of Campina Grande experiences a Water Security situation. Using a qualitative approach, the research can be classified as a case study, considering that it seeks to investigate a contemporary phenomenon, within its real context. The main results point to the impossibility of attributing Water Security status to the municipality. The research demonstrated enormous scientific potential, as it correlates a social fact with scientifically consolidated concepts and theories, thus contributing to the decision-making of political actors from all government spheres, in order to promote the sustainable use of water. Keywords: water security; Campina Grande; transposition; water; supply.
Reflexão sobre o Lugar e acerca de como aplicar suas respectivas orientações teóricas ao ensino/aprendizagem de Geografia na educação básica
Abstract: This article to object to develop a reflection on the geographical category "Place", based on the panorama offered by geographical science, from Classical Antiquity to modernity, so that, from geographical thinking, it is possible to establish a dialogue between what theory prescribes and how to combine it with practice in the teaching/learning process of Geography in the last years of basic school in basic education. The theoretical path used here are the names of Critical and Humanistic Geography (Milton Santos, Tuan, Ana Fani and others) and the methodological path is the bibliographic review of these works, the presentation of the main ideas contained in them about the category, place and articulation of them with the national curricular parameters and the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) as they are received and defended in the teaching of Geography. The research identified the nuances of place as a natural spatial cut, of affectivity (topophilia), belonging and identity and proposes that these relationships be worked on with the student beyond the usual and pragmatic reading that prevails in public education.

Efeitos da generalização cartográfica em extração de rede de drenagem gerada de forma automática
Through Digital Elevation Models (DEM) it is possible to perform the automatic drainage network extraction, which besides being a fast procedure it is the basis for generating other data in hydrological studies. However, with the advancement in the geotechnology and the increase in available digital products, many data are automatically generated disregarding data sampling characteristics. In this work, the sampling factor considered for the drainage network were two: scale representation and DEM influence. In order to do this, three DEMs were selected: ASTER-GDEM, TOPODATA and SRTM-4; and five scale representations: 1/50,000; 1/100,000; 1/150,000; 1/200,000 and 1/450,000. The drainage network was analyzed in two ways: by samples and by population analysis. According to the analysis by samples, the most satisfactory results were in the 1/450,000 scale, in which the DEMs demonstrated a higher accuracy rate (compatible design to water channels). In the larger scales (1/50,000 and 1/100,000) the mismatches between automatic extraction and watercourse are more perceptible to the human eye, which influenced the evaluation of areas with satisfactory results for watercourse delineation. In the population analysis, the scale factor was disregarded and the SRTM-4 was the DEM that obtained greater accuracy: 73% of regularity with watercourses.
Produção rural familiar em Francisco Sá (Minas Gerais/Brasil): A comunidade rural de Várzea Dourada
O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a produção rural familiar na Comunidade de Várzea Dourada, município de Francisco Sá, com destaque para o associativismo. O associativismo tem por essência proporcionar benefícios técnicos, profissionais, econômicos e sociais a determinados grupos de indivíduos que expressam interesses homogêneos, ou seja, consiste em um grupo social organizado com objetivos comuns. Para tanto, utilizou-se como metodologia: revisão bibliográfica, análise de dados coletados em trabalho/exercício de campo realizado no mês de outubro de 2023, com a aplicação de questionários aos afiliados da Associação dos Pequenos Proprietários Rurais da Baixa do Charquinho/Várzea Dourada e uso de registros fotográficos para tornar mais verossímil as análises. Considera-se que, a agricultura familiar é fundamental para a manutenção das famílias no campo, sendo a pecuária leiteira a atividade econômica preponderante entre os agricultores familiares desta comunidade. Estes ainda produzem milho, cana-de-açúcar, mandioca, banana, coco, feijão, verduras e legumes, além de investirem na avicultura e na criação de porcos. Podemos descrever a maioria dos agricultores familiares de Várzea Dourada como pessoas que resistem ao êxodo rural, por gostarem da vida no espaço rural herdado, que não se refere apenas a propriedade, mas também aos traços culturais da terra e aos laços afetivos. Palavras-chave: Agricultura familiar; Associativismo; Francisco Sá; Comunidade rural; Várzea Dourada. Family rural production in francisco sá (minas gerais/brazil): the rural community of várzea dourada Abstract: The objective of this work is to understand family rural production in the Várzea Dourada Community, in the municipality of Francisco Sá, with an emphasis on associations. The essence of associations is to provide technical, professional, economic, and social benefits to certain groups of individuals who express homogeneous interests, that is, they consist of an organized social group with common objectives. To this end, the following methodology was used: bibliographic review, analysis of data collected in field work/exercise carried out in October 2023, with the application of questionnaires to members of the Association of Small Rural Landowners of Baixa do Charquinho/Várzea Dourada, and use of photographic records to make the analyses more credible. It is considered that family farming is essential for the maintenance of families in the countryside, with dairy farming being the predominant economic activity among family farmers in this community. They also produce corn, sugar cane, cassava, bananas, coconuts, beans, vegetables, and legumes, in addition to investing in poultry farming and pig farming. We can describe the majority of family farmers in Várzea Dourada as people who resist the rural exodus, because they enjoy life in the inherited rural space, which does not only refer to property, but also to the cultural traits of the land and emotional ties. Kewords: Family farming; Associativism; Francisco Sá; Rural community; Várzea Dourada.

Apresentação - Dossiê: Geografia e Comunicação
Como a geografia se comunica e qual a geograficidade da comunicação? Não temos resposta para tal questão, ou melhor, partindo de uma perspectiva dialética, temos uma diversidade de possíveis repostas, múltiplas e fragmentadas. É no sentido de juntar alguns elementos deste mosaico explicativo que apresentamos o dossiê temático “Geografia e Comunicação”. A relação entre geografia e comunicação abrange desde linguagens simbólicas que incluem, por exemplo, as pinturas corporais indígenas, as danças tradicionais quilombolas, a cultura camponesa, até uma análise da sociedade em rede e da grande mídia, além da era da informação instantânea, com as novas tecnologias, a internet, a mídia digital e as novas redes sociais implicadas no “capitalismo de plataforma”. (Srnicek, 2017). Os povos indígenas tem a arte como elemento cultural essencial. Mas, tal elemento não está desconectado dos processos de comunicação. O artesanato, os adornos e a pintura corporal comunicam seus clãs, seus rituais, suas lutas, sua relação orgânica com a natureza, sua cosmovisão. A pintura corporal entre o Povo Boe (Bororo), por exemplo, define a divisão clânica e, por consequência, define a organização espacial das aldeias e territórios. Contudo, a linguagem artística da pintura, com outros sentidos e significados, de resistência e protesto, também está refletida no grafismo em territórios urbanizados. Os processos de comunicação de massa, no entanto, passaram por transformações amplas na última metade deste século. Primeiro com a grande mídia, estruturada para atender aos interesses dos agentes dominantes, que influenciou e continua a influenciar diretamente a configuração e a dinâmica dos territórios, criando padrões de comportamento e garantindo o controle social. Quem controlou a grande mídia controlou a geração e circulação de informações e, por consequência, deteve o poder político e econômico global. Nas últimas décadas, o advento da internet, solidificando uma sociedade da informação, tem estabelecido uma rede com novas e dominantes formas de produção de conteúdo e compartilhamento de informação. Manuel Castells (1999) já chamava a atenção, a mais de duas décadas, para a importância da internet, que não deveria ser considerada uma mera tecnologia, visto que passou a influenciar amplamente a cultura e a vida cotidiana da sociedade, passando a definir, controlar e conectar os diferentes territórios e seus usos. Neste sentido, além da população perder a socialização no mundo real, e não estar estabelecido que as tecnologias sejam consideradas como “bem comum” a todas e todos, as Big Techs (Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon e Microsoft etc.), reafirmam e promovem as desigualdades e a exclusão social e digital mundial, direcionando exclusivamente as tecnologias para seus interesses privados de lucro e poder. Como a geografia tem estudado e poderia analisar a comunicação a partir desse novo contexto histórico e espacial, sem perder a perspectiva de autonomia e resistência dos povos e grupos sociais subalternizados? E, ou uma comunicação intercultural com diferentes saberes e visões? Um passo nesse sentido foi dado por Jesus Martin-Barbero (2000; 2003), quando destaca a necessidade de compreendermos a comunicação como um fenômeno complexo, constituída em Ecossistemas Comunicativos cultural e socialmente estabelecidos. As informações na era da internet seriam, nessa perspectiva, acessadas de forma fragmentada e constituiriam um mosaico de saberes. Não havendo pluralidade e diversidade de ideias e sentidos em circulação no território, limita-se a possibilidade de criar, a partir dos lugares, projetos diferentes daqueles que atendem aos interesses dos agentes dominantes. (Pasti, 2018, p. 23). O território, nesse sentido, torna-se elemento essencial para a construção de processos comunicativos mais democráticos e libertadores. A comunicação não acontece no vazio, ela necessita de um território para se efetivar. Portanto, a geografia torna-se instrumento essencial para a compreensão crítica da sociedade em rede e da era da informação instantânea. Ela possibilita, ainda, o entendimento da espacialização das tecnologias, das informações e das estratégias de extração do olhar e dos dados pessoais pela “superindústria do imaginário” (Bucci, 2021). Sendo assim, com este dossiê temático esperamos que a pesquisa crítica no campo das interpretações geográficas fortaleça o diálogo com a comunicação e as múltiplas linguagens que constituem a densa experiência humana na relação com os territórios.
Community-based tourism in the Kalunga territory: a look at the Quilombola Community Vão do Moleque, in the municipality of Cavalcante - GO
This article proposes to study community-based tourism in the Kalunga territory and evaluate how tourism has been developing in the Quilombola’s Communities located in the Kalunga Historical Site and Cultural Heritage, in the northeast of Goiás. For this purpose, it was chosen as the main focus , a community in Vão do Moleque, located in Cavalcante - GO. As a general objective, it was proposed to verify how tourist activity has been developing in Quilombola’s Communities, especially in the Vão do Moleque Community. For the methodology, it is based on the need to understand the Kalunga socio-territorial reading and the inclusion of tourism in the place, using the following methodological steps: bibliographic review, through the survey of theoretical-methodological references on the theme of tourism; Then, surveys were carried out on the main tourist attractions in Quilombola’s Communities, using fieldwork and interviews with tour guides and community residents. Finally, analyzes and maps were carried out for later writing of the text. It is possible to observe tourism consolidating the importance of the community without reducing the number of communities. Community-based tourism can be a good alternative for generating income and inserting traditional communities into tourist work, related to guiding activities at attractions and selling handicrafts and offering accommodation and food. The Vão do Moleque community, the focus of this research, presents tourism in an incipient form, but there was a lot of expectation on the part of the community to consolidate themselves in community-based tourism, as occurred in the neighboring community: Engenho II.

Panorama Socioeconômico do Espaço Rural em São Miguel do Tapuio, Piauí: uma perspectiva de 20 anos (2000-2020)
This paper goal was to analyze the socioeconomic characteristics of the rural space in the city of São Miguel do Tapuio, Piauí, Brazil. For this, the used data were collected in the websites of the Demographic Census, the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight against Hunger and the Ministry of Citizenship, besides the indicators of Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM), Municipal Livestock Research (PPM), Plant Extraction and Silviculture Production (PEVS), covering the period between 2000 and 2020, and the 2017 Agricultural Census, through the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). A geoprocessing software was used to construct the location and economic organization thematic maps. The rural space has some deficiencies in the social field, such as in the education and the health, which needs improvement. This space is characterized, primarily, based on traditional agricultural activity, with small producers and the presence of rural development programs. They arose associated with extensive livestock, through the insertion of beekeeping in 2004 and the fish farming in 2013. With this, the sugarcane production remained stable, while the extraction of carnauba powder, charcoal, firewood and wood logs were present in a lesser extent.

Changes in land use and occupation in the area of influence of the Corumbá Hydroelectric Power Plant reservoir - Goiás
Water resources are vital for economic development and quality of life, but they face challenges due to urban expansion and improper land use. The study, using MapBiomas data and conducting a reclassification according to research requirements, analyzed land use from 1992 to 2022 in the municipalities of Corumbaíba, Caldas Novas, and Ipameri. The maps were created from MapBiomas Collection 8 data and processed in ArcGIS. The results were reclassified into five main categories. There was a significant reduction in forested area and a substantial increase in agriculture and urban expansion. The research highlights the importance of understanding and sustainably using land in the region of the Corumbá Hydroelectric Power Plant, emphasizing the effectiveness of MapBiomas in land use analysis. It also emphasizes the need for measures to ensure the sustainability of water resources for future generations.

From sustainable development to climate neutrality:
In this text, we argue that the hegemonic environmental discourse, on a global scale, has gradually been modified, responding mainly to the political-economic context of each moment and to the counter-hegemonic discourses constructed by social movements. Based on extensive bibliographical research and documentary analysis, we have identified that, over the last 50 years, this discourse has always maintained an optimistic view of development. We have also observed not only a deepening of the influence of the neoliberal ideology, but also a delimitation of the environmental issue, which has been abandoning a broad perspective to restrict itself almost solely to mitigating climate change.

The Production of the 'Uberabão' Stadium
Football is one of the greatest cultural and sporting expressions in Brazil and its existence is not limited to the four lines where a match takes place. The football stadium supports leisure and spectacle. This paper analyzes, in historical perspective, the production process, the uses and functions of Engenheiro João Guido Municipal Stadium, the Uberabão, and its impacts on the urban space of Uberaba-MG. It highlights the public and private interests on this equipment as well as their influences on the organization and territorial appropriation in its surroundings. Based on specific bibliography, historical data survey in public agencies, analysis of photographs and aerial images and field visits, the work demonstrated the stadium project linked to the interests of local elites, to the city's attempt of projection in the regional and national sports circuit as well as to the attempt to implement a large-scale urban equipment that could support urban expansion in the area where it is located, aggregating different land uses and occupations.

O pensamento de Friedrich Ratzel e suas contribuições metodológicas para a geografia
The thought of Friedrich Ratzel and his methodological contributions to geography Abstract: This bibliographic review effort about the work of Friedrich Ratzel (1844-1904) puts us together with so many other efforts to (re)interpret his thinking. Even occupying a prominent place regarding the formulation of geographic science, many of his ideas and studies have been less or poorly used over the years due to misinterpretations. In this sense, our general objective is to reflect on the methodological contributions of Ratzel's thinking to the construction of geographic science. We will also be looking at analyzing some of your core ideas by embodying some key concepts, the influences that led to the construction of his thought and how he had been used and interpreted over the years. Finally, we reinforce the importance of other efforts like this so that we can demystify some ideas and conclusions about Ratzel and his work. Keywords: methodological contributions, human geography, State, territory.

Fatores socioambientais influenciam no retrato da dengue?
In Brazil, dengue is considered an endemic disease, and its occurrence is often associated with social and environmental issues. Considering this, the objective of this research was to evaluate whether environmental and socioeconomic factors may be predominant in the incidence of dengue in the city of Corumbá-MS. To achieve this, socioeconomic and environmental data generated by neighborhoods in the city were used and compared to dengue cases recorded between 2012 and 2019. The results showed that dengue cases had a stronger correlation with the population size of each neighborhood. They are not directly related to factors such as average monthly income, impermeabilization rate, or vegetative cover of the neighborhood.

Dinâmicas demográficas das pequenas cidades do Centro Sul e Sul Baiano (1991-2010)
This text aims to analyze the demographic dynamics of small towns in the Center South and South Bahia between the years 1991 to 2010. For its development, a qualitative and quantitative methodology was used. In this way, a bibliographic survey was carried out related to the suggested theme and the space studied; data collection was also carried out on the municipalities in the study area in the IBGE Demographic Census of the years 1991, 2000 and 2010. Such data were tabulated with Microsoft Excel 2016 software, in addition, MapViewer 8 and QGis v3.16.6 software was usedmfor map making. Based on the information collected, demographic changes were observed in the municipalities, such as: urban growth, demographic decline in small towns and the rise of medium-sized cities. Thus, due to the fact that small cities make up a very varied universe in Brazil, empirical research is necessary to understand these realities.
Dynamics of the coastal front occupation in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil: phases and settlement standards
This research aimed to assess the dynamics of the coastal front occupation in the city of Aracaju/SE, Brazil, based on the delimitation of the occupation phases, associated with the perception of the different settlement patterns. After analyzing nautical charts and mapping the occupation progress, the results showed that from 1970 to 1980, the population flow was redirected towards the coastal front. The first districts to be effectively occupied were Atalaia and Coroa do Meio, the first and second phases of occupation, respectively, followed by the Expansion Zone, which represented the third phase. The fourth phase consisted in verticalizing Atalaia, an unusual pattern for the coastal front until the end of the 2000s, but which has become predominant in the landscape. Regarding settlement patterns, the verticalization process occurred and a concentrated and partially horizontal pattern was identified in Coroa do Meio and Atalaia, as well as dispersed and/or organized occupation in subdivisions in the Expansion Zone. The analysis showed that although the occupation process occurred differently, the logic of occupation in Aracaju’s coastal space was and still is highlighted by the absence of a planning that is consistent with the high fragility of the natural units, which has caused major impacts.

Urban Unsafety, Control, and Segmentation of Public Spaces in Araguaíana- Tocantins
Urban Unsafety, Control, and Segmentation of Public Spaces in Araguaíana- Tocantins Abstract: The appropriation of public spaces is mediated by the social perception constructed about them and, historically, it was performed in the interest of the bourgeoisie. One of the main elements of that mediation is the urban unsafety that not only promotes the diminution of public spaces but also segments them into safe/unsafe. On one side, it approves the expulsion of the unwished population seen as dangerous and anormal, and on the other side, large processes of revitalization imply important investments of capital. Bearing that point of view, this text studies the use and appropriation practices of public spaces in Araguaína, Tocantins. This city is marked by urban unsafety and it passed by a restructuring of its infrastructure with the construction and revitalization of several public spaces last decade. This research was made through a bibliographic revision and interviews with the residents of this city. The results reveal a segmentation and control of public spaces, which best image is Via Lago and Parque Cimba is associated with criminality, being for popular classes. Keywords: segmentation; unsafety; public spaces; Araguaína, Control.

Pressure index in water resources in the Vermelho River upper basin, Goiás State, Brazil
Pressure index in water resources in the Vermelho River upper basin, Goiás state, Brazil abstract: This study aimed to develop a pressure index on water resources for the Vermelho River Upper Basin, in the state of Goiás, Brazil, using the multicriteria analysis. The variables hydrogeology flow potential, geomorphology recharging potential, slope infiltration potential, water resource protection potential in relation to land use and cover, and plant cover density infiltration potential were used, through the SAVI index. To assign the values ​​to the variables and classes, specialists and the literature were used. The classes of each variable were normalized in the range from 0 to 1, where 0 means null and 1 means very high. The index indicated that 12.66% of the area had high to very high pressure on water resources. These are areas where intermittency occurs in water courses during the dry season and where there are restrictions on recharge and flow, in areas covered by pastures.
