A partir de dados censitários, o artigo analisa a política habitacional de interesse social na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, entre 2000 e 1010. Os dados sobre os fluxos migratórios revelam que, embora essa região atraia maior número de migrantes no estado, já não é para a capital que se dirige a maioria. As cidades de São José dos Pinhais e Colombo, dotadas de menor infraestrutura, constituem o maior polo de atração. Com foco em habitação para famílias de baixa renda, o aluguel social em especial, são apresentadas as condições das unidades habitacionais, a infraestrutura disponível e os aspectos demográficos e socioeconômicos dos chefes de família. A leitura dos dados é contextualizada por uma recuperação histórica das políticas habitacionais promovidas pelo Estado desde a década de 1970. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Política habitacional. Locação social. Fluxos migratórios. Região Metropolitana.Curitiba.HOUSING POLICY AND SOCIAL RENT IN CURITIBA Tomás Antonio Moreira Based on census data, this article analyzes the social housing policy in the metropolitan area of Curitiba from 2000 to 2010. Data on migratory movements show that, although this region attracts the largest number of migrants in the state, the capital city is no longer the destination of the majority. With less infrastructure, São José dos Pinhais and Colombo are the cities attracting most migrants currently. The study focuses on housing for low-income families, particularly social rend, and presents the situation of housing units, the available infrastructure, and the demographic and socio-economic aspects household heads. Data interpretation is contextualized using a historical review of housing policies promoted by the state since the 1970's. KEYWORDS: Housing policy. Social rent. Migratory movements.

Do people make friends with those who are culturally and socially different to themselves? 'Friendship and Diversity' explores the social relationships of adults and children living in highly diverse localities in London. The authors examine how social class and ethnic difference affects the friendships of children in primary schools and their parents. The book draws on original and in-depth conversations 8 and 9 year olds about their classroom relationships, with parents about their own and their children's friendships, and with teachers about supporting children's friendships at school. Through detailed discussions of friendships, everyday multiculture, and attitudes towards shared social space, cultural difference and social class, the authors reveal what these friendships tell us about the nature and extent of social mixing and social divisions in cities with diverse populations.

Der Forschungsbericht befaßt sich mit dem Leistungsverhalten von Lehrlingen im Ausbildungsprozeß und mit deren Freizeitgestaltung in der DDR. Empirische Grundlage der Darstellung ist eine komplexe Untersuchung zum Leistungsstreben im Arbeitsprozeß und Ausbildungsprozeß, die 1984 in der DDR durchgeführt wurde. Die Population besteht aus 470 männlichen und weiblichen Lehrlingen. Bei der Untersuchung wird von der Prämisse ausgegangen, daß zwischen Freizeit und Arbeit eine wechselseitige Beziehung besteht und daß "ein Teil jener Faktoren, die Leistung und damit auch Leistungsstreben und Leistungsmotivation im Arbeitsprozeß determinieren, im Freizeitbereich angesiedelt sind". Neben Aussagen zum Leistungsverhalten werden Freizeitumfang, Einstellung zur Freizeit, Freizeitinteressen, Freizeitverhalten sowie Möglichkeiten und Bedingungen der Freizeitgestaltung von Lehrlingen beschrieben.

Author(s)Brown, JamesLanguageEnglishShow full item recordLiving in a networked world means never really getting to decide in any thoroughgoing way who or what enters your "space" (your laptop, your iPhone, your thermostat ... your home). With this as a basic frame-of-reference, James J. Brown's Ethical Programs examines and explores the rhetorical potential and problems of a hospitality ethos suited to a new era of hosts and guests. Brown reads a range of computational strategies and actors, from the general principles underwriting the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which determines how packets of information can travel through the internet, to the Obama election campaign's use of the power of protocols to reach voters, harvest their data, incentivize and, ultimately, shape their participation in the campaign. In demonstrating the kind of rhetorical spaces networked software establishes and the access it permits, prevents, and molds, Brown makes a significant contribution to the emergent discourse of software studies as a major component of efforts in broad fields including media studies, rhetorical studies, and cultural studies
