One of the challenges of modernity in a society like Ecuador is the changing demographics of the elderly population. There is a scarcity of research on the quality of life among older Ecuadorian adults. In a research project that is taken place in Tisaleo, Tungurahua Province, Ecuador, an assessment of variables to illustrate the quality of life among the elderly is discussed. A request was made by local government to the Department of Research of the Law and Social Science Faculty of Universidad de Ambato, to gather relevant data on the quality of life of its elders that live in the territory and elaborate a diagnostic of their needs. Results of this study will provide recommendations for public policy and address the social development of the territory's gerontological needs. A semi structured interview was used, to measure the quality of life i.e. health status, economic situation, housing, mental social networking and other subjective and emerging factors. The results made it possible to detect the essential problems faced by older adults. It ends with a proposal for public policies to improve the quality of life of this group.

RESUMEN: Uno de los retos de la modernidad en una sociedad como la ecuatoriana es el cambio demográfico de la población adulta mayor. Existe una escasez de investigaciones sobre la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores ecuatorianos. En un proyecto de investigación que se lleva a cabo en Tisaleo, provincia de Tungurahua, Ecuador, se analiza una evaluación de variables para ilustrar la calidad de vida entre los adultos mayores. Una solicitud fue hecha por el gobierno local al Departamento de Investigación de la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Ambato para recoger datos relevantes sobre la calidad de vida de sus ancianos que viven en el territorio y elaborar un diagnóstico de sus necesidades. Los resultados de este estudio permitirán hacer recomendaciones de política pública y atender el desarrollo social de las necesidades gerontológicas del territorio. Se utilizó una entrevista semiestructurada para medir la calidad de vida, es decir, el estado de salud, la situación económica, la vivienda, la red social mental y otros factores subjetivos y emergentes. Los resultados permitieron detectar los problemas esenciales que tienen los adultos mayores. Se finaliza con una propuesta de políticas públicas para mejorar la calidad de vida de este colectivo. Palabras Clave: Adultos mayores, calidad de vida, enfoques políticos, Ecuador. Recibido: 05 de octubre de 2021; Aceptado: 27 de diciembre de 2021; Publicado: 07 de enero de 2022.

O presente artigo é resultado de análise de algumas operações realizadas pelo Programa de Saneamento da Bacia da Estrada Nova (Promaben) implementado na Região Metropolitana de Belém, desde 2015, visando promover intervenções de macro e micro drenagem nos principais canais dessa bacia. Nesse sentido, indagou-se: em que medida o reassentamento realizado pelo Programa de Saneamento da Bacia da Estrada Nova (Promaben), na cidade de Belém (PA), revela a permanência de políticas higienistas de saneamento urbano? A partir de análises bibliográficas e documentais, verificou-se que a discrepância entre a proposta apresentada pela Prefeitura Municipal de Belém e a real aplicação do projeto denotam a perpetuação de desigualdades estruturais observadas durante a história de organização urbana no Brasil. Além disso, constatou-se um verdadeiro descaso em relação à manutenção das dinâmicas e estratégias de sobrevivência locais, uma vez que o planejamento urbano fora elaborado a partir de um ponto de vista estritamente técnico e sanitarista.

Policy analysis in Brazil is part of the International Library of Policy Analysis and is the first book to paint a comprehensive panorama of policy analysis activities in Brazil. Highlighting the unique features of the Brazilian example, it brings together 18 studies by leading Brazilian social scientists on policy analysis as a widespread activity pursued in a variety of policy fields and through different methods by governmental and non-governmental institutions and actors. It shows how policy analysis emerged as part of Brazilian state-building from the 1930s onwards. With the democratisation process of the late 1980s, policy analysis began to include innovative elements of social participation in public management. This unique book offers key insights into the practice of this field and is indispensable reading for scholars, policy makers and students of the social sciences interested in learning how policy analysis developed and functions in Brazil
