  • Geodiversity consists of the multiplicity of geological, geomorphological, pedological and hydrological elements and processes that gave rise to planet Earth. It is through the interaction of this variety of inanimate elements that rocks, minerals, fossils and other surface deposits will exist that give rise to landscapes and support life on Earth, with this abiotic environment threatened with degradation. From this, geologists and geomorphologists have focused their studies on the protection of geoheritage, mainly in the context of geomorphological patrimony, through geoconservation. In this research, geoheritage is based, as a set of elements of exceptional values, divided into different categories of patrimony with a specific focus on some areas, namely: geological patrimony; geomorphological, hydrological, pedological, paleontological and others. However, the geomorphological heritage, object of this research, is characterized as a set of landforms to which some type of value is attributed (scientific and/or aesthetic, cultural, economic, functional and educational). In this way, this research will highlight the theoretical-methodological contributions with regard to the geomorphological heritage and outline the geoconservation strategies, in order to carry out a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the geomorphodiversity of the coastal zone of the municipalities of São Bento do Norte, Caiçara do Nortes, Pedra Grande-RN, in a conceptual approach for the development of natural history and geoforms in the area. In this study, based on the methodology used, four sites considered geomorphosites were identified. Methodologically, the research represents a qualitative approach, with a descriptive purpose of the locations, geomorphological elements and other components of the landscape.The quantitative evaluation fits the application of values through four criteria, namely: Scientific value (Vci), Aesthetic value (Vest), Tourist value (Vtur) and Use and management value (VUG), which resulted in the identification of the four geomorphosites of high scientific value (Vci) and/or aesthetic value (Vest), with the identification of the geomorphosites Praia do Farol, Praia de Serafim, Praia de Enxu Quemado and Praia do Marco. The objective of the research was to list locations in the coastal zone with geomorphological potential and diversity of abiotic elements. We therefore highlight the importance of geoconservation strategies for these sites and the threats to this geoheritage. This information contributes to a more detailed description of this region, for which there are still few studies focused on this sector and with this theme, in which these studies can subsidize planning and management measures, in addition to promoting geotourism in these places.

  • This text reflects about how knowledge of urban networks, resulting from the relationships established from the production, circulation and consumption of goods and services between urban centers with different levels of centrality and position in the urban hierarchy, are an important tool for the identification of particularities of the urban dynamics of different parts of the territory, being an important field of research in Brazil, influencing even the development of important public policies, such as health policies (FEITOSA, 2018). The analysis of urban networks makes it possible to understand the rebuttal of the contradictions of the capitalist system on the geographic space, in which the territorial division of labor (CORRÊA, 1994) implies the development of a relationship of dependence of urban centers with less centrality to those ones of greater centrality, which, in turn, is an important characteristic of the relationships established by the urban environment of the semi-arid Northeast (ALVES, 2017), whose understanding of urban reality also requires an interpretation of the average city that goes beyond quantitative concepts (SPOSITO , 2010). With that, taking the city of Caicó as one of the main urban centers in Rio Grande do Norte, it is questioned how the hospital health flows directed to hospitals located in the aforementioned city interfere in the local urban network of the Immediate Geographic Region of Caicó, strengthening the municipality as a regional pole in the state.

  • This work seeks to problematize the existing relationship between the process of construction and expansion of urban space in the city of Caicó/RN, correlating the process of socio-spatial segregation existing in its urban geographic zones, especially our empirical object, the west geographic zone of the city. In this way, we attenuate our discussion about the consequent socioeconomic and socio-environmental vulnerabilities experienced by excluded social groups, mostly from low-income families, who historically build and occupy their homes in irregular areas, in old and new neighborhoods in peripheral areas, which in many cases , are neglected and neglected by public policies and investments in infrastructure and urban equipment, compromising the quality and well-being of these residents. In carrying out the research, we carried out bibliographic and documental studies, in addition to the exercise of analysis and theoretical-conceptual reflection, having as a product, the reflective construction of this work. Therefore, from the discussion on screen, it seeks to reveal a system in which the intra-urban space of cities increasingly becomes the production and reproduction, in locus, of countless conflicts, inequalities and socio-spatial segregation.

  • The discussion regarding the future of natural resources has been established over the
    years as a propulsive stimulus for the triggering of resource planning and management
    analyses within the geosciences. In this research, geodiversity will be understood
    through geomorphological elements, structuring the geomorphodiversity, which
    directed to the coastal environment, is concretized as a potential of peculiar geoforms,
    which lack geoconservation. Therefore, this work aims at inventorying and quantifying

    the sites of geomorphological interest in the municipalities of São Miguel do Gostoso
    and Touros, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, investigating also the past analysis of
    the landscape. In the present study, four potential geomorphological sites were
    identified, through inventory and quantification. In the inventory, in the field, the
    general information of the sites was investigated, based on geomorphology,
    corroborating a database of the areas in question. In the quantification, the importance
    of the relevant areas was valued through four value criteria: Aesthetic (VEst), Scientific
    (VCi), Touristic (VTur), and Use and Management (VUG), being them: Morro dos
    Martins Beach, Ponta do Reduto Cliff, Calcanhar Lighthouse and Touros Cliff. Through
    the results, it is relevant the inclusion of the aesthetic criterion, and not only the
    scientific one, for the identification of geomorphosites. We found that there are areas
    with high aesthetic value, but with low representativeness of scientific value, due to the
    lack of scientific research in the geosciences, this corroborates the view that the
    aesthetic potential has representativeness for the society and therefore should be
    included in the geoconservation actions.

  • The present work presents a reflection on the urban space of medium-sized cities in the semi-arid region of the Northeast, in particular on the impacts of policies related to the water sector in the city of Patos-PB, with the implementation of the Coremas-Sabugi Pipeline System, which aimed at expanding the supply of water to the population of Patoense. And in order to meet all the needs of this work, the neighborhood of Jatobá was delimited, one of the oldest areas in the urban perimeter of that city, where there have been great transformations over the decades, being analyzed, in view of this, the role that the water infrastructure I come to make possible these new realities, whether for the construction of new enterprises or to improve the quality of life of the families that live in Jatobá, influencing, therefore, the dynamics of the urban space of Patoense. Thus, from the theoretical support, we investigate how all this water infrastructure is built, from a reflection on the influences of droughts in the Patoense spatial dynamics, the great engineering works, through public policies and how the hegemonic actors make up and act in the space. urban, with emphasis on territorial management policies, land use and the potential use of water resources in the city of Patos, benefiting or not the population residing in the neighborhood of Jatobá. Thus, it is noteworthy that the Patoense urban spaces have been modified over time, corroborated by the changes brought by the water infrastructure, which allowed a greater real estate appreciation for the said Patoense neighborhood, although several urban actions without articulation still exist, given the lack of dialogue or interest from private capital, in particular real estate, and from the state, in urban dynamics, which deepen the improvement brought by water infrastructure to the respective neighborhood of Patos - PB. Despite the adversities and contradictions existing in the urban space of a capitalist city, the work on screen highlights the relevance of water infrastructure for the Jatoabense community, influencing the urban spatial constitution in the space of Patos.

  • Pedogeomorphology is defined as the study of the soil-relief relationship under different aspects: conceptual, methodological, operational and/or scalar. In landscapes, soils and reliefs, evolve together, with mutual influences in this process, constantly, one influences the other in different ways, in greater or lesser intensity, depending on the environmental context, resulting in landscape implications and complex pedogeomorphological processes. Knowledge regarding the physical environment is essential to guide territorial planning policies, environmental preservation and recovery of degraded areas. The Brazilian semi-arid is considered a fragile region from an environmental point of view, due to the occurrence of torrential rains, long periods of more exposed soils, large thermal amplitudes, among others. The region still lacks scientific information that allows for a deeper understanding of its dynamics. The objective of this work was to carry out a pedogeomorphological characterization of the RPPN Olho d'água das Onças, located in the municipality of Picuí-PB, in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The geological substrate of the study area is associated with the Serra do Martins Sedimentary Formation (ENsm), with the occurrence of conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones, claystones and laterites. A bibliographical and cartographic review of the region under analysis was carried out. For the characterization of the RPPN, cartographic products were elaborated in a GIS environment, using the QGIS software. The ALOS-PALSAR satellite image was used as a basis. Products such as: MDE, slope map, hypsometry were elaborated and from this information the geomorphological map was made. Field work was carried out with collections of seven soil profiles, representing different geomorphological compartments. Five geomorphological units were identified in the area: i) tableland, ii) escarpment, iii) valley with flat bottom, iv) structural valley, and v) river plain. The pedogeomorphological characterization of the RPPN provides relevant information for future preparation of the Management Plan for the Conservation Unit. The identification of geomorphological units and associated soils enabled a better understanding of the potential and vulnerabilities of each sector. Areas with tableland and Oxisols (Latossolos) are the most appropriate for creating zones of intensive use. In turn, greater care must be taken with the edges of the tableland, with high declivity and associated with poorly developed soils.

  • Since white folk invaded the territory of present-day in Brazil, the indigenous people have suffered from processes that disrupt their cultures and make them invisible. However, in recent years, these peoples have been strengthening a movement to retake and reforest the mind that has allowed the occupation of important places. Regarding Vale do Jaguaribe, in Ceará, the indigenous issue is still a topic to be studied in depth, as its  elements remain related to colonial processes, such as the violent occupation by pastoral activity and religious missions, acculturation, miscegenation and the extermination responsible for the indigenous “disappearance”, such as the Payaku ethnic group. These native peoples, in an attempt to survive colonial violence, developed several resistance strategies that did not let their habits, cultures, customs and traditions be completely crushed by the colonization steamroller. Thus, even though it is not visible to the eyes of the society that rose, the everyday present is permeated with native influences and legacies, such as carnauba straw handicrafts, which are strongly observed in the municipality of Itaiçaba. In this sense, through a qualitative and ethnographic research, supported by oral history, with semi- structured interviews, the general objective of this paper was to analyze the resistance and permanence of the indigenous peoples of Vale do Jaguaribe through the territorialities of the artisans of carnauba straw from Itaiçaba, which preserves ancestral indigenous practices. As for specific objectives, what was looked for was: i) to understand the territorialities of the indigenous presence in the Vale do Jaguaribe; ii) to identify the resistance and permanence of indigenous peoples materialized in the culture of the region; iii) to present indigenous territoriality, resistance and permanence through the production of straw handicrafts in Itaiçaba. With the fulfillment of the research, we observed the role of the artisans who safeguard the straw handicraft and transmit, even if unconsciously, the indigenous resistance of the jaguaribana region.

  • The interior dunes are deposits of quartz sediments that have been (re)mobilized through aeolian processes. The dune field has its formation in the Cenozoic era, in the Quaternary geological period, it is important for the studies of Geosciences, because it is an area that underwent transformations in the Quaternary geological period, being essential for researchers to be able to understand how this paleoenvironment was formed in the middle of the hinterland as well as its current evolution, in addition to being a holder of significant scenic beauty in the middle of the northeastern semi-arid region. In this sense, it is worth emphasizing that the occurrence of dune fields is more prevalent in coastal areas. The main objective of the research is to analyze the interior dunes of Casa Nova (BA), with emphasis on the geomorphological dynamics, the identification of ecosystem services and the evaluation of the geomorphological heritage. The methodological procedures took place in three different and integral stages, namely: office: bibliographic survey, through systematic review; cartographic and iconographic; field: stage of refinement of thematic maps, completion of the geomorphological heritage assessment form, identification of ecosystem services, in addition to photographic, iconographic and laboratory records: data processing, preparation of thematic maps, non-textual elements, such as flowcharts , frames and mosaics of edited photos. Therefore, the understanding of geomorphology and regional geodiversity is essential for understanding the past and current context of the environment of the interior dunes of Casa Nova, in addition to helping in the sustainable use and geoconservation of these places and their surroundings.

  • In Chapada do Apodi, in the state of Ceará, the expansion of agribusiness has reconfigured the agrarian issue in the region, giving rise to processes of environmental injustice. At the same time, movements of resistance to the development model advocated by agribusiness are articulated. This process is verified in the portion of Chapada do Apodi circumscribed to the municipality of Tabuleiro do Norte, where the expansion of grain agribusiness occurs, with emphasis on cotton through the action of the company Nova Agro Agropecuária LTDA. In this perspective, in spaces where capital is territorialized makes it possible to observe that conflicts are more visible and intense, confronting rationales that are often divergent and/or exclusive. In the research section, where peasants live distributed in ten communities, it is possible to verify the coexistence with the Semiarid being directly affected by the territorialization of the capital, making it more precarious. In this way, the objective is to understand the limitations imposed by environmental injustice on coexistence with the Semiarid region in Chapada do Apodi, in the municipality of Tabuleiro do Norte. The specific objectives are: 1) to characterize the territories of coexistence with the Semiarid in Chapada do Apodi; 2) investigate the scenario of environmental injustice, in view of the actions of the State and agribusiness; 3) highlight the resistance strategies that make living with the semi- arid region possible. The research is of a qualitative nature, whose methodological procedures are organized in four stages: 1) survey and bibliographic review; 2) secondary data collection; 3) field works; 4) systematization and data analysis. From the investigation, it was found that agribusiness has deepened the processes of environmental injustice, disproportionately imposing the harm of this economic activity on peasants. Relying on the support of the State, the impacts produced by agribusiness, such as deforestation, destruction of social technologies, bad smell due to the application of pesticides and possible death of bees, among others, have led to limitations in living in the semiarid region. However, peasants, relying on a support network, have produced resistance against the advance of capital, supporting the permanence of life in the territory.

  • The occurrence of fires in natural environments is a preponderant factor for environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity. Conservation Units, on the other hand, act as remarkable tools for environmental protection/conservation in Brazil and in the world. However, even with the implementation of these units, the presence of degrading activities in protected territories still occurs in an expressive way, where in several cases natural resources are illegally exploited. The Environmental Protection Area (APA) of Chapada do Araripe has a notorious natural abundance in its territory, biotic and abiotic elements such as geological, geomorphological formations, geodiversity, great availability of water sources and variety of fauna and flora are constituents of this environment and that need of conservation actions given the nature of its management category and its wide area. In this perspective, this research aimed to analyze the transformations of the landscape caused by the fires in the APA of Chapada do Araripe between the years 1985 and 2020, as a way of contributing to the management plan of the referred UC. For this, the research is structured in three chapters, each chapter being developed from a specific objective, therefore, in the first chapter, an attempt was made to carry out a diagnosis of the APA, considering the socio-political context of its creation, the diversity of characteristics intrinsic and forms of current management, this finalized and presented here as a preliminary result of the research; the second chapter sought to verify, measure and problematize the areas burned in the APA in the period from 1985 to 2020; in the third, the identification of the main historical and current factors for the occurrence of fires in the APA, the transformations in the landscape and its socio-environmental remnants will be proposed. Thus, for the development of this work, bibliographical surveys were carried out by systematic review, documental, cartographic and iconographic survey of data on the APA of Chapada do Araripe. In view of this, as preliminary results of this research, it appears that the demands directed at expanding the management and inspection of the APA are fundamental for reducing the exploitation and degradation of natural resources in its territory, especially since it is a very extensive area that runs through three states. (CE, PE and PI) and which has a management with a low staff and inspection agents, making conservation and inspection actions of this environment difficult.

  • The dynamics of the processes operating in the semi-arid relief have erosion as an important
    component. However, currently, this natural phenomenon has been drastically accelerated by human
    action. Land use and coverage that evolves in a poorly planned way can generate high amounts of soil loss
    and clogging of rivers and natural and artificial reservoirs. This research aims to analyze the dynamics of
    erosion processes in the upper reaches of the Curimataú River basin, based on three attributes:
    susceptibility to erosion, land use and cover and their impacts on accelerated erosion, and monitoring of
    soil loss from of experimental stations. To prepare erosion susceptibility maps, the following variables
    were used: erosivity, erodibility, geology, slope and land use and cover, using the map algebra technique
    in the Qgis 3.14 software. To carry out land use and cover mapping, an image from the Sentinel 2-A
    satellite was used, based on vectorization based on photointerpretation techniques. The experimental
    stations for monitoring soil loss were based on the technique proposed by Baldassarani and Girão (2018),
    which estimates soil loss from surface lowering, measured using erosion pins. The susceptibility maps
    showed that the human activities established in the basin are causing the accelerated erosion process due
    to human actions established in the natural environment. Land use and cover mapping identified that the
    elements that most contribute to the intensification of erosion correspond to uncovered areas and
    agriculture, as they promote the excessive removal of native vegetation. Finally, the soil loss observed in
    the area was around one ton per hectare per year and tributaries of the basin and even the main river are
    already suffering environmental imbalance resulting from the production of excess sediment, caused by
    accelerated erosion. In view of this, it was possible to conclude that the inadequate use and management
    of soil in the basin resulted in large extensions of uncovered areas resulting from deforestation, and that
    consequently the accelerated erosion process acts intensely, causing soil loss and sediment production, as
    well as causing erosion features present in the landscape.

  • Open-air markets, materialized in space as commercial forms of socioeconomic and cultural character, are an important source of income for small family farmers and local artisans and have been undergoing a series of modifications over the years due to the advancement of an increasingly globalized economy. This is the case of the open-air market in the city of Cruzeta, located in the intermediate region of Caicó, one of the three major geographical regions of Rio Grande do Norte. Thus, this dissertation aims to reflect on the open-air market and its contributions to the urban dynamics of the city of Cruzeta - RN. To this end, the methodology adopted for the present study was developed based on exploratory and descriptive research, carried out through a literature review. In order to fulfill the proposed objectives and better understand the object of study, the research was based on qualitative methods, through ethnographic description and field research for data collection, both primary and secondary. From the reflections on the open-air market in Cruzeta and its contributions to urban dynamics, it was possible to verify that, for smaller cities, the market becomes very important as it guarantees the commercialization of family production, small agribusiness, and artisanal products. From the analysis of the collected data, it was possible to identify the promotion of the local economy through the open-air market, as it is an important space for commercialization, generating jobs and income, strengthening the municipality's economy. Finally, the open-air market in Cruzeta plays a fundamental role in the urban dynamics of the city, contributing to the economy, culture, health, and quality of life of its inhabitants.

  • The landscapes that make up the different terrestrial environments reflect the synthesis of the game of relationships between the different factors that compose them, which maintain constant exchange relationships and participate in the dynamics existing in the locations. We observe a great mosaic of landscapes in the Brazilian territory, in the Northeast region it is no different. Understanding a landscape requires a complex analysis of the components that form it. Chapada do Araripe is one of the exceptional spaces in the Brazilian Northeast. Its phytogeography is marked by the diversity of vegetation that takes refuge in the structure. Through the floristic survey and phytosociological analyzes it was possible to learn more about the floristic composition and reflect on the elements that contribute to the exceptional landscape presented in Chapada do Araripe. The methodological procedures took place in four different and integral stages. Bibliographical surveys were carried out in the office, through systematic review; cartographic and iconographic with emphasis on the area of study. In the field work, there were stages of vegetation survey through phytosociology with the random allocation of 20 plots of 20 x 20 m. application of some indices, namely the Topographic Humidity Index and the NDVI index (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index - NDVI). The data collected in the field and in the office were analyzed and supported the writing of this work. In view of this, it can be seen that understanding the landscape, as well as the application of phytosociology as a methodology for collecting information from landscape units, are of fundamental importance to understand the current configurations found in Chapada do Araripe, and also to reflect on planning mechanism for the uses of the area and adjacent spaces.

  • The coronavirus pandemic is, by nature, spatial, and because it is spatial it represents geographic features. The scale of the pandemic itself has a geographic nature: it is worldwide and takes place in a context of globalization where human and commercial relations take place in a very fast and complex way. As the virus spread and took on a global scale, it opened up a series of other crises that had already been plaguing the world. This crisis is not just limited to a public health problem, it has accelerated other crises that were already underway in today's society, crises that are of a social, economic, environmental and political nature, consequently intensifying critical problems experienced by the Brazilian public health system over the years. In this way, many Brazilian cities needed to restructure or re-establish a new form of health service, which was adequate and consistent with the intensification of positive cases of Covid-19. The initial cases of Covid-19 were registered in the capitals and in large urban centers and, later, migrated to the interior of the states. It is at this moment that cities like Caicó-RN, are inserted in this context. With this, the general objective of the research is to analyze how the services structures of Caicó responded to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic as a global vector. It is necessary to investigate how the health network of Caicó is located, seeking to identify its needs, and how these have impacted on the care of this new virus.

  • The planning and management of the environment in this century are relevant issues for society. The
    study of environmental vulnerability aims to indicate the potentialities and limitations of land use in the
    face of human pressures on environmental systems and to contribute to understanding the spatial reality
    in order to guide territorial management and planning. Historically, the Serra de Santana has had a
    dynamic related to agricultural practices in its process of occupation. However, in recent years, with the
    installation of wind farms, its spatial dynamics have undergone changes, particularly with the
    advancement of urbanization and human impact on this humid enclave, leading to the degradation of
    native vegetation and significant changes in land use/cover. This research aims to map and diagnose the
    Environmental Vulnerability of Serra de Santana in the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte, based on
    geosystemic landscape analysis and multicriteria analysis of physical-environmental variables. To achieve
    this, the following maps of environmental and morphometric variables of the study area were generated:
    Relief Dissection Index (RDI), Slope, Vegetation, Pedology, and Climate. Additionally, temporal mapping of
    Land Use/Cover was conducted to analyze and quantify changes resulting from land use/cover, and
    mapping of Landscape Environmental Systems was performed through integrated analysis of geographical
    components to support the diagnosis of the subsystems mapped for Serra de Santana. The results of the
    Land Use Mapping indicated significant spatial distribution changes over the years, particularly with the
    increase in wind farms and degraded 'caatinga', consequently reducing dense vegetation. The temporal
    land use maps support human influence on environmental systems, as the results of land use changes
    indicate significant environmental degradation in these areas. Thus, seven predominant classes of
    environmental systems were identified for the study area, among which Residual Crests and Abrupt
    Escarpments, Dissected Eastern Slope, and Subhumid Western Slope systems showed moderate to high
    levels of environmental vulnerability. In contrast, the environmental systems of Serrano Plateau, Eastern
    Slope with weak Dissection, and Fluvial Plains and Alluvial Plateaus presented moderately stable to
    moderate degrees of environmental vulnerability, representing transitional environments trending 
    towards stability. The Environmental Vulnerability Mapping revealed five vulnerability classes for the
    study area, predominantly Moderately Stable/Vulnerable, Moderately Vulnerable, and Vulnerable classes.
    The Stable and Moderately Stable classes occurred more in plateau areas, on relief edges that are more
    preserved regarding land use, situated on favorable lithologies and stable soils. However, the Vulnerable
    class was classified in areas with steep relief and high relief dissection indexes, as well as in dominant
    anthropic areas with higher rainfall amplitude indexes for the study area. The map of environmental
    systems supports the environmental vulnerability of the territory, depicting classes with pronounced
    ecodynamic fragility potential and systems showing conditions ranging from moderate stability to
    moderate vulnerability. Therefore, it is expected that this research can contribute to understanding the
    environmental dynamics of the landscape in this area of significant landscape/ecosystemic interest and
    can guide the management and planning of these areas towards conservation and sustainable territorial
    development.

  • In this research we analyze the socioeconomic and urban dynamics of Jardim de Piranhas (RN) according to the textile industrial activity. The relationship between the textile industry and the municipality of Jardim exists even before its politic emancipation, that is, this activity is directly related to economic development as well as to the construction of the urban space studied. Thus, the general objective of the work is to understand the current dynamics of that municipality considering the socioeconomic importance of the textile industrial activity, with regard to variables such as: production, capital, technological level, distribution and work. For the assumption of this objective, we are carrying out bibliographical research on the key concepts of the work, documental research about the object of study and field research referring to the textile industrial activity located in Jardim de Piranhas. As a preliminary result of the research, he pointed out that the textile industry is less present in the urban space of Jardim than it was five years ago and, nevertheless, is more modern in terms of the production process, that is, the technological level of the machines is more sophisticated as well as more companies have this machinery and it is more dispersed throughout the city.

  • Understanding the abiotic diversity of the earth, geodiversity is a recent approach, from an academic point of view, with expansion of studies from the 1990s. This term is related to Geology, Geomorphology, Pedology and Hydrology, as it is based on the objects of each of these sciences and how they present themselves in the landscape. The study of geodiversity can be covered by several aspects, including geopatrimony , which bring a notion of importance to the elements of the abiotic environment, such as the geomorphological heritage, which is more focused in this work, and also the other components of the elements of geodiversity . The assessment of geopatrimonyallows the establishment of conservation policies for these elements, or geoconservation , which promotes the protection of the abiotic environment and encourages geotourism . The study area is the municipality of Araruna which is located in the micro-region of Curimataú in Paraíba and, in the new IBGE delimitation, is in the immediate region of Guarabira. Its territory extends over sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic geological bases.  The objective of this work is to identify and quantify the potential g eomorfossítios of the Araruna, Paraíba. In addition, a description of how the municipality's geoforms emerged, were transformed and under which phenomena they are currently subject is contemplated , based on the details of their natural history. The work also proposes the elaboration of a map containing the geomorphological compartmentation of Araruna. The inventory is the qualitative stage of the assessment. At this stage, with the field research, based on the proposed methodology, the potential geomorphosites of the municipality are catalogued , including the geoforms according to their processes. Quantification consists of the quantitative stage of this work, unlike the previous stage, at this point the valuation of the attributes of geomorphosites occurs , based on scientific and/or aesthetic values, in addition to secondary values, which are tourism and use and management. The places of geomorphological interest that stand out the most are the Pedra da Boca State Park, the Pedra da Macambira, the Macapá Canyon and the Serra Verde Canyon. The application of the inventory and quantification forms will be applied, in the field, at an opportune time, for the elaboration of chapters 2 and 3 of this work. Chapter 1, presented for qualification, demonstrates the formation of geoforms and the processes to which they were submitted and which are still present today. The importance of improving and expanding studies involving the theme of geodiversity is highlighted , as, based on the knowledge of the potential, it is possible to establish strategies for the development of the site, without causing damage to the geoforms , on the contrary, taking advantage of it. use them to stimulate tourism, generating opportunities for the communities surrounding the potential geomorphosites , the municipality and the region as a whole.

  • Brazilian urbanization has intensified since the second half of the 20th century, marked demographically by the overcoming, in absolute numbers, of the rural population by the urban. However, the accelerated urbanization did not necessarily translate into an improvement in the quality of life of the Brazilian people, further accentuating the concentration of income and social inequalities, fundamental elements for the understanding of the various urban socio-environmental problems currently evidenced. In the Brazilian urban space, the socio-environmental impacts arising from anthropic activities are more evident, highlighting the huge amount of solid waste discarded daily by the population and companies, collected and dumped at all times in the dumps, creating urban socio-environmental problems, such as fluids liquids, called slurry, which flows from landfills and dumps, thrown into the environment, polluting the soil and water bodies. The discarded solid waste is produced socially by different social agents that directly or indirectly contribute and interact within the production process through various domestic and socioeconomic activities related to agriculture, industry and service provision, whose final destination, in most Brazilian cities and communities rural areas, is the inappropriate dumping of this material in vacant lots, water bodies, roads and dumps, open-air garbage deposits. In Caicó - RN, the seventh largest municipal population in Rio Grande do Norte, with 68,343 inhabitants, according to the IBGE's 2020 estimates, as in many Brazilian municipalities, solid waste after being discarded by the population is deposited in common containers, collected in followed by the local urban cleaning service and, finally, dumped in the open in the dump, without any appropriate technical infrastructure or any criteria for separation or classification by the municipal public service. The dump currently existing in the city of Caicó constitutes a serious public and environmental health problem, impacting the environment by polluting the air, the soil, groundwater, rivers, dams and dams in the region, such as the river basin of Rio Piranhas - Assu, the main in Rio Grande do Norte, with 17,472 Km², or 35% of the total territory of the state (IBGE, 2010). Thus, this research will aim to understand the socio-spatial dynamics of the problem related to solid waste in Caicó, in an integrated, participatory and inclusive perspective, emphasizing the understanding regarding the planning, ordering and management of urban solid waste, in addition to other related nuances, such as the situation of recyclable material collectors in this context highlighted above. Thus, bibliographic and field research will be carried out to help overcome the current model of garbage disposal, with the effective implementation of controlled sanitary landfills, mitigating the socioenvironmental impacts of this problem, serving as a reference for initiatives that generate changes and overcome the socio-spatial problem above.

  • The present work aimed to perform the analysis of areas susceptible to flooding in the urban space of Caicó/RN from modeling techniques in GIS environment, seeking to relate the physical characteristics of the relief with the production of surface flow of the urban nucleus of the said area, through different techniques of geoprocessing and remote sensing, in order to identify flood susceptibility areas. Initially, the urban river system was characterized, making use of morphometric calculations, having as database the EAM derived from the SRTM mission of 30 m of NASADEM spatial resolution, which allowed the identification of the drainage pattern present in this area, which was classified as dendritic; based on strahler's classification (1962), being verified the presence of 53 first order rivers, 9 second order rivers, 1 fifth order rivers, 1 sixth order and 1 seventh order; 60 urban drainage basins were identified that presented compactness coefficient with classes close to the unit, corresponding to values between 1.15 and 1.67, morphometric ratio of the compactness coefficient (Kc), showing that in its natural conditions, the environment has drainage basins with high susceptibility to floods. For soil use analysis, supervised classification procedures of image and screen vectorization were performed, using scenes from the CBERS 4A satellite, captured by means of the WPM sensor, which has 8 meters of spatial resolution in multispectral cameras and 2 meters of spatial resolution in the panchromatic band, the classes of soil use and the measurement of these,  which in turn were defined as: Dense vegetation (12%), Thin vegetation and pasture (55%), Buildings (13%), Streets (3%), Water bodies (4%) and Exposed soils and rocky outcrops (13%). To estimate the surface runoff, the SCS-CN method was used, which made it possible to observe the presence of Lithic Neosols representing 58% of the area and the Chromic Luvisols occupying 42% of the area, both types of soils belong to the hydrological group D, according to the classification proposed by Sartori et al. (2005), this method also allowed estimating the average surface flow of each neighborhood of the city of Caicó, for different scenario of rainfall events and antecedent humidity conditions, where we considered an event of 107 mm (scenario I), a 56 mm event (scenario II) and a 29 mm event (scenario III). For the modeling of flood areas considering the physical characteristics of the relief, simulations were performed through routine execution in GIS environment in QGIS software, through the library “simlib”, do GRASS, the results of the final processing of this model, refers to raster maps that express the areas of flooding by means of pixels with values referring to water discharge, given in m³/s; among the neighborhoods with the highest rates of water discharges are: Paraíba, João XXIII, Walfredo Gurgel e Barra Nova.

  • According to the current stage of Globalization, also called the technical-scientific-informational period, socio-spatial dynamics are increasingly intensified in the wake of national and/or international hegemonic economic interests and the cultural particularities of each space, which can be transformed into economic potential. Thus, the geographic environment transformed in this period is studied according to the criticality in Geography, aiming at the analysis of the socioeconomic totality and interactions of the spatial dynamics in question and considering the inequalities and contradictions that characterize this totality. With this understanding, this work analyzes the urban and regional dynamics of Delmiro Gouveia (AL), with emphasis on the flows resulting from the realization of the largest free fair in the Sertão Alagoano, located in this city. In the first chapter of the work, geographic space is defined through fixed and flows, objects and actions, and as a social instance. In addition, the periodic market and the street fair are historically understood and a generic analysis of the northeast fairs is carried out, as economic and cultural events. In the second chapter, Delmiro Gouveia street fair is analyzed through the application of the circuit theory of urban economy in underdeveloped countries. For this, field research was carried out with the application of questionnaires with fairground, consumers and drivers of vehicles that transport people, objects and goods to the fair. This questionnaire accounts for the variables of the referred theory and, therefore, the analysis of the collected data allows the  understanding of the dynamics of the fair according to the mentioned theory. The third chapter questions the regional classification proposed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), which regionalizes state territories into intermediate and immediate regions. This questioning arises from the analysis of data from the field research carried out, which show that the flows to the Delmiro Gouveia open fair consolidate this city as a regional center in the Alto Sertão Alagoano. Such flows highlight interactions of this city with other cities in Alagoas, but also with spaces in other states in the Northeast and in Brazil.

  • The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is a widely used method when it comes to estimating soil loss from a given area. In view of this, the research aims to analyze the susceptibility to erosive processes in Geopark Seridó – RN. The estimation of soil losses was performed using USLE in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment for data spatialization. The USLE showed an average result of soil losses for the Seridó Geopark of 9.04 t.ha-1.year-1, being considered low. About 61.59% of the total area was classified as having very low soil loss. Only 16.80% of the Seridó Geopark area was classified as having moderate soil loss. A large part of this value is associated with the factor of greater slope and land use and occupation, such as agriculture and livestock. The extremely severe classification represented only 0.26% of the total area of the Seridó Geopark, with mining being the type of land use responsible for a large part of this value. The estimate of sediment production for each geosite showed that 9 of the 21 geosites presented soil losses classified as moderate. In most cases, the moderate values were related to the type of use and occupation (agriculture and livestock) and to a considerable slope. The geosites that presented very low and low losses were normally related to a type of land use and occupation classified as arboreal and shrubby caatinga. Those with extremely severe soil losses are those with a type of use and occupation classified as mining and agriculture.

  • In the society in which we are inserted, a conjuncture of world politics is perceptible in a movement that seeks to decentralize the decision-making power of the State to instances of governance in the perception of consolidating even more democratic ties and government actions with authenticity, efficiency and cooperation. In the Brazilian territory, this tendency is defended by the Federal Constitution of 1988, intending this decentralization as a presupposition for the elaboration of public policies. In this context, the Ministry of Tourism (Mtur) in 2003 elaborated a policy for the tourism sector, creating the National Tourism Plan (PNT) and within this plan the Tourism Regionalization Program (PRT), specifically to promote the organization of regional councils based on the management of tourist activity to meet the demands of internalizing tourism, as well as enabling collaborative work between public authorities, private initiative and civil society, with the main objective of internalizing tourism in Brazilian territory. This dissertation aims to analyze the public policy of tourism with a focus on the interiorization of tourism in the semiarid region of Rio Grande do Norte (RN), taking as an empirical reference the municipalities of Martins and Portalegre. The research is based on the dialectical method, in which we understand the contradictions of the researched activity. This work assumes an analytical character supported by the ideas of authors such as Cruz (2000, 2001, 2007), Beni (2000), Fonseca (2005), Santos and Silveira (2006), Santos (2004), Moraes (2005) and among others. The dissertation also assumes a predominant qualitative character, based on the technique of collecting primary data (interviews). Secondary data were obtained through a discussion related to the PRT and data provided by the Mtur. The main conclusions are that Martins and Portalegre located in the Semiarid Potiguar have tourist potential, but lack of an effective policy for the sector and make these municipalities are inserted in tourist destinations in RN and even in the Northeast. It is noticeable that the lack of information about the tourist potential of Martins and Portalegre becomes an obstacle to the internalization of tourism. We evidenced a weakness in the data provided by the Mtur, as well as in the interviews and also in the PRT main source for internalization, in which it did not contribute significantly to the development of tourism in the territories of Martins and Portalegre, which is the reality of other municipalities. with tourist potential in the interior of the northeastern semi-arid region.

  • The main objective of this research is to analyze the spatial circuit of sisal production
    taking the city of Pocinhos, located in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, as a starting
    point. Sisal (Agave Sisalana perrine) is a semixerophilous species of intertropical origin
    (Mexico), and Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of its main product, the textile
    fiber, with the state of Paraíba as the second largest national producer. Historically,
    several cities from Paraíba were developed economically from the sisal production, such
    as Pocinhos, a city that is resilient in the cultivation of this plant in the region,
    characterizing itself as one of the main producers of the fiber in the state. Based on the
    theories of spatial production circuits and cooperation circles (SANTOS, 1986, 2008b),
    we set out to understand the material and immaterial dynamics of this culture, which in
    recent decades, despite its relevance, has been experiencing decline. Taking this into
    consideration, the methodology consisted of the use of the following techniques: survey
    and bibliographical research on the theme addressed; collection and analysis of
    statistical data; fieldwork; semi-structured interviews with the main agents of the
    circuit. As a result of the research, we verified, from a historical perspective, the
    introduction of sisal, its dissemination in the semi-arid region of Paraíba through the
    space-time variable, and we listed the main internal and external factors for such
    development. In addition, we present the sisal production process, which ranges from
    pre-production to final consumption of the product, highlighting the main variables in
    the circuit. In the spatial circuit of sisal production, we could find that the city of
    Pocinhos, given the context of the territorial division of labor, participates in this
    process through the development of the initial stages of the circuit, which would be the
    production itself, the first processing of the fiber in the field (defibering) and also of
    second processing in the city space (beating), as well as in the first distribution and
    commercialization stage of this product, either locally or statewide. We also highlight
    some vertical integrations, in the aforementioned city, although to a lesser extent when
    compared to the actions that it takes place in the last links of the circuit, which are
    distribution, commercialization and consumption abroad, a space of greater
    verticalization, and the absence of what would be important circles of cooperation in
    production. At the end of the research, we still consider that, currently, within the scope
    of the Globalization process, even in cultivations that do not use modern production
    techniques, for example, the sisal, inevitably, its production uses variables such as
    science, technology and the information in several other circumstances throughout its
    production process.

  • The Seridó Potiguar region is of great importance for the state of Rio Grande do Norte and for the entire Brazilian Northeast. With a highly diversified economy, this region has faced serious problems related to water scarcity and desertification, mainly due to the way in which the land is used. Currently, desertification is a phenomenon that worries many countries, including Brazil. In Brazilian territory, the Northeast region inspires care, as the climate and the current speed and extent of deforestation favor this process. Taking this context into account, the present research aims to investigate the morphodynamic processes in the Seridó Potiguar Desertification Nucleus, from the rescue of the history of land use and cover and its relationship with geomorphological dynamics, in addition to analyzing the process historical-economic and its influence on socio-spatial dynamics. For the analysis of land use and cover, the process of vectorization of satellite images by visual interpretation was applied, which were compared with the mapping of information from the past, in order to identify changes that occurred in this period. In addition to carrying out the mapping of potential fragility and ecodynamic units in which it identified levels of fragility of the environment. For these mappings, the methodology of Tricart (1997) was adopted, based on the concept of ecodynamic units, with adaptations by Ross (1990) in which new criteria for defining these units were inserted. The results obtained made it possible to identify changes in land use and cover over a period of 32 years and to identify levels of fragility from integration studies to understand the natural dynamics of the environment and the influence of human interventions. Therefore, the methodologies used made it possible to carry out an analysis of the Seridó Potiguar Desertification Nucleus and identify the main morphodynamic processes based on the relationship between the geoenvironmental characteristics and the social actions carried out in this territory.

Thus, the general objective of the research is to position the concept of scenic landscape and geomorphological heritage in the midst of geodiversity studies having as an experiment: the qualitative and quantitative assessment, as well as the mapping of geomorphosites in the city of Icapuí, Ceará. The main highlight is a part of the Geopatrimônio, called as geomorphological heritage. Its importance has always been seen in a secondary way, since geology has taken on a gigantic proportion in the context of conservation and protection of natural resources. Thus, it seeks to further emphasize its relevance in the scope of geodiversity, as well as geographic science. However, its way of characterization and evaluation is directly related to the geological, arguing that to be considered a geomorphosite it is necessary to obtain a high scientific value. This research, therefore, aims to approach aesthetics as an evaluative parameter of the geomorphological value, together with the scientific, as it is understood that the central themes of geomorphology are directed towards landscape studies and it would not be coherent to evaluate a place of geomorphological interest, without involving its scenic beauty. Therefore, it is proposed to systematically inventory the study area, with parameters of geomorphological characteristics, essentially attributing a mapping of the easy ones in its characterization, as well as quantifying the landscape with objective values, eliminating subjectivity. These steps are based on the Inference to Better Explanation (IME) method, which aims to outline hypotheses a posteriori, through the results of the qualitative and quantitative phases, which will result if a site is considered geomorphosite or not, subsequently elaborating a chronogeomorphology of the area . Most of the locations in Icapuí / CE do not have directly related works, but they are covered in a diluted way in academic works related to the municipality. However, the area is considered as a complex set of morphological units, due to the occurrence of important events in the Quartenário, such as eustatic changes and climatic fluctuations and the presence of the Barreiras Formation, from the Neogenous period.

  • Soil erosion, due to water action, is today an environmental problem affecting different regions across the globe. The disordered use of land in hydrographic basins can potentiate it, triggering several problems; for example: landslides, landslides, silting of reservoirs, among others. Thus, it is important to carry out analyzes of the implications of changes in land use in the production of sediments and soil losses in river basins. This research aims to analyze the relationship between land use and geomorphological dynamics, in the Barra Nova river basin through three mechanisms: mapping land use in the Barra Nova river basin, in order to understand the activities that are developed in this area area and its influence on geomorphological dynamics; analyze the geomorphological dynamics of the region from the identification of the different relief compartments at their different taxonomic levels; and infer the current stage of soil losses in the Barra Nova River basin, in order to elucidate the level of susceptibility to erosion in the entire basin. For this purpose, images from orbital sensors will be used to map land use and identify geomorphological aspects of the basin, in addition to rainfall, soil and relief data. For estimating soil losses, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) will be used. So far, land use mapping has been carried out with the identification of 11 classes of use that have been verified in the field, in which the Pasture for Animals class is the one with the highest prevalence, with 53.15% of area, followed by of the classes Degraded Caatinga, Diversified Temporary Cultivation, Shrub Caatinga, Artificial Reservoirs, Cities, Unidentified Use, Caatinga Arboreal, Villages, Extraction of Non-Metallic Minerals and Other Urbanized Areas. The Other Urbanized Areas class, in turn, has the lowest occupation area, with only 0.001%. The identification of morpho-sculptural subunits up to the 4th taxon of the methodology proposed by Ross (1992) has also begun, as well as the collection of data for the estimation of soil losses from the USLE.

  • Wetlands (AUs) are ecosystems found in all parts of the globe, where their occurrences are mainly dependent on local physical conditions (climate, hydrology, geomorphology). In this way, the wetlands are found as differentiated ecosystems, due to the morphometry, vegetation and even the type of water contained therein, which can be artificial or natural, permanent or temporary. For coastal zone ecosystems, habitat is limited in floodable environments with a maximum depth of 6m at low tide. These areas provide ecosystem services (SE) of essential character to riverside populations, such as the availability of food, purification of drinking water, flood control in coastal regions, in addition to recreational and religious cultural services. This research will be carried out in the fluvial-marine plain of the hydrographic basin of the Apodi-Mossoró river, located in the Brazilian semi-arid region (northern / semi-arid coast in the state of Rio Grande do Norte). In this area, there is a rich diversity of coastal AU, natural and artificial, classified according to the degree of salinity in terms of predictability, amplitude and frequency of the tidal flood pulse. Where the general objective of the referred research is to evaluate the provision of ecosystem services between the different wetland macrohabitats in the Apodi-Mossoró / RN river plain, which will be carried out in four distinct stages: mapping of the macrohabitats distributed in the plain- marine, followed by the classification of the Wetlands, then the statistical analysis of the mangrove fragments will be made and finally the classification of the Ecosystem Services of the environments characterized in the study area.

  • In the current stage of Globalization, called the technical-scientific-informational period, the production of space is increasingly constituted by the uses of the variables technical, science, information, consumption and finance. Such variables are key to understanding the production of space in this period, because they are increasingly trivialized in social and geographical terms. Thus, in this work we study the dynamics of the Currais Novos (RN) region according to the banking network. This region of Rio Grande do Norte is composed of nine municipalities - Acari, Bodó, Carnaúba dos Dantas, Cerro Corá, Currais Novos, Florânia, Lagoa Nova, São Vicente and Tenente Laurentino Cruz - eight of which have their own municipal headquarters - in the context of the urban network in Rio Grande do Norte - as a small and local city, while Currais Novos presents itself as an urban center of regional prominence, as it has the most complex market and the largest demographics. Between 1954 and 2011, the banking network was expanded in this region, with the installation of bank branches in Currais Novos and also in small local cities. However, since 2016, the year in which a series of crimes against various bank branches in the region began, the expansion of the banking network has been revised, and in small and local cities, bank branches have been transformed into bank service points, as well as the expansion of the offer of banking correspondent services. Thus, today, there are bank branches only in Currais Novos, a fact that has been changing the dynamics of municipalities in the region and spatial interactions. Considering this problem, the objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of the Currais Novos region according to the banking network, paying attention to the socioeconomic dynamics of local centers and the regional backcountry center, to the expansion and retraction of the banking network and to spatial interactions developed in the region. Through bibliographic research, statistical data research and field research, we systematized the work in three chapters: in the first, we apprehended the socioeconomic dynamics of the cities in the Currais Novos region, in the context of the economic restructuring of Seridó Potiguar, giving light to the process of tertiary urbanization; in the second, we analyze the process of expanding the banking network in the region in question, considering the movements of deconcentration and reconcentration of bank branches in the cities of the region; and, finally, we analyze the contribution of this banking network to the spatial interactions in the region in question. We conclude that the dynamics of the region according to the banking network is unequal, with privileges of spaces that concentrate greater flows of people and capital, while the other spaces locate less complex bank fixed, which are implemented focusing on the possibility of banking institutions to profit more with the lowest investment made.

  • This paper analyzes two land access policies implemented in the municipality of Florânia/RN: the Agrarian Reform, which is conducted by the National State, through the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), and the other , coordinated by the Federal Government's Special Secretariat for Family Agriculture and Agrarian Development (SEAD), called Market Agrarian Reform, which has the support of the World Bank (WB). These are two actions that discuss access to land and, consequently, a possible improvement in life for the population involved. To carry out this study, the chosen analysis category was development, as well as resorting to the concepts of rural development and public policies.Thus, this research aims to analyze the land access policies (the Constitutional Agrarian Reform and the Market Agrarian Reform), emphasizing the feasibility of developing the focus areas of these policies and the rural population served by them in the municipality of Florânia (RN), in a period that extends from 1998 to 2019 (the period in which all settlements were built in that municipality). Based on bibliographical, documental and field research, this study was developed and systematized, in three chapters – in addition to the introduction. The first presents an approach to the concepts of rural development and development, as well as public policies created for the Brazilian countryside. At this stage, we seek to debate these concepts, as these policies can be considered as important instruments used in the search for development. In the second chapter, the objective is to analyze the working dynamics of the two existing land access policies inBrazilandRio Grandedo Norte, in the context of rural settlements. In the fourth chapter, a comparison was made between these two policies, through which it was observed that the action of the Constitutional Agrarian Reform stands out and stands out in the researched municipality, regarding the feasibility of the development of the place and its population, compared to the execution of the RAM.

  • It is clear that every individual or social group always aims to improve the quality and standard of life, however, this refers to a very broad definition, ranging from the individual's perception of feeling good, to measurements of comparable physical and sociocultural parameters. In this sense, a given population or individual to obtain these parameters in turn depends on another range of variables, such as basic sanitation, which has a direct influence on the quality and standard of life of a given population. Furthermore, the absence of these services and/or poor management can cause both financial and human losses, thus becoming a global concern and theme of several public policies, however, the problems of this theme are located right at the basis of formulation and/ or development of these policies, that is, the lack of primary and partial data that can support the achievement of goals, objectives and how the progress of effectiveness of such public policies is found. Thus, this research's main problem is to fill the lack of information (to gather data on basic sanitation regarding the pillars of drinking water supply, and sanitary sewage, to analyze and discuss its spatial distribution) so that government officials can become aware of the situation of its administrative units and improve its territorial ordering. Thus, in view of the aforementioned problem, this research has as its main objective to carry out the diagnosis of the operational systems of basic sanitation in the aspects of drinking water supply and sanitary sewage and to analyze its spatial distribution through a GIS platform in the municipality of São Fernando- RN in the year 2019. To achieve this goal, a GIS platform - Geographic Information System was used, feeding it with primary and secondary data collected with an RPA - Remotely-Piloted Aircraft (in Portuguese, Remotely Piloted Aircraft) and collection of testimonies about drinking water supply systems and sanitary sewage through the Inductive method, from the perspective of the geography of health on the geopolitical territory. With this it was possible to raise, systematize, analyze and describe the two systems for the rural and urban areas through a quantitative and qualitative diagnosis where it was possible to see that this methodology and set of technical procedures chosen was the most suitable for the region in view of dynamics of the semiarid region in which the municipality is located.

  • The present study adheres to the effects of the housing policies of Caicó - RN, with regard to guaranteeing the right to the city and adequate housing for the target public and combating the housing deficit in this city. To this end, a bibliographical survey on Brazilian housing policies, urban planning, the production of urban space, as well as on social inequalities and socio-spatial segregation caused by state actions and the market is necessary. Likewise, an analysis on the right to the city and decent housing and on the housing deficit and inadequacy of homes is necessary. In addition, the present study reflected on the production of the urban space of Caicó and its housing policies, especially over the past 23 years. From this perspective, a qualitative and quantitative research is being carried out on the housing and social aspects of these policies implemented in Caicó. These analyzes have shown that the vulnerable groups, which were the targets of housing policies, were installed on the margins of the urban space of this municipality. Thus, such state actions did not guarantee the right to the city and decent housing to the satisfaction - demonstrating the shortcomings that persist in the housing policies of the municipality and that must be overcome. In addition, the number of social housing delivered in the past 23 years was very low in view of the housing deficit recorded by Caicó.

  •  In this study, time series of rainfall exclusion in the municipalities of Caicó, Florânia and Cruzeta were used, as well as the historical series of sunspots, to analyze and understand if there is any relationship between these two variables and their repercussions in the semi-arid region of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, specifically in the intermediate region of Caicó. The period analyzed was from 1913 to 2019. Exclusion data were obtained from the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company of Rio Grande do Norte (EMATER), the Seridó Climatological Station (CP) and the Meteorological Database of the Instituto Nacional de Meteorology (BDMEP). Solar activity data were collected from the Observatoire Royal de Belgique, (ORB). For data analysis, descriptive statistics techniques were used, through measures of central tendency and dispersion, probability, return time, accumulated deviation, in addition to the Mann-Kendall non-parametric statistical test and Pearson's correlation analysis. The results induced high amplitude for both protection and solar activity. The average, maximum and valid values are quite discrepant between the exclusion and as sunspots, but one can perceive a relationship related to the period in which these extreme values occurred (maximum and necessary solar x dry and rainy periods), cause there to be some relationship of sunspot spots in the exclusion in the intermediate geographical region of Caicó.
