In its economic evolution, Porteirinha emerged as a place for the installation of industries, commerce and provision of services, which has been happening since the 1970s. New centralities emerged, especially the interurban centralities. This is because the city is home to federal and state public administration offices, wholesale and retail trades, providing specialized services capable of serving its population and neighboring municipalities. In this sense, the urban situation and the performance of political and economic agents was fundamental for the installation of the necessary infrastructure for the expansion of economic activities, as well as being decisive in attracting investments and resources to the municipality. It is noteworthy that small cities, as is the case of Porteirinha, have their urban constitution intrinsic to rural activities, which influence the dynamics of their urban and interurban space. The research elucidated the relationship between urban and rural in the evolution of humanity to constitute the conditions for the formation of cities. In this context, the city and the urban are linked to the rural environment and this connection makes it possible to understand particular aspects of small towns. In Brazil, the political evolution of cities and their position in the national, state and regional urban network, planning elements were treated as important aspects to understand urbanization in its historical and current characteristics. This research analyzed Porteirinha from its origin, its position as a small town and the centrality it exerts in its region of influence from its centrality in the health, livestock and tourism sectors. The research was developed through qualitative and quantitative methodology, through theoretical analysis, documentary research and field research with iconographic records. The results were presented through maps, photos, tables and graphs, being important for the understanding of the centralities of Porteirinha/MG. Through the primary data associated with the interviews, it was noted that centralities in the health sector are more glimpsed by the population Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.unimontes.br/handle/1/2580 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.unimontes.br/handle/1/2551 Título: Usina Hidrelétrica de Irapé, reassentados e programas para a agricultura familiar no Vale do Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais Autor(es): Veloso, Danny Alisson Oliveira Abstract: This dissertation identifies the impacts of the resettlement process promoted by the Usina Hidrelétrica de Irapé on the living conditions and productive practices of farming families resettled in the municipalities of Botumirim and Cristália, in the Jequitinhonha Valley, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study aimed to identify the impacts caused by the resettlement of families affected by the construction of the hydroelectric plant, focusing on the transformations in their living conditions and productive strategies. The research adopted a qualitative approach, based on semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and photographic records, combined with the analysis of socioeconomic data from the resettled families. The results indicate that, although the resettlement ensured formal land tenure, limitations persist regarding production conditions, access to rural credit, and technical assistance, factors that directly influence agricultural organization and income generation. Production occurs predominantly on a small scale and is mainly oriented toward subsistence, with diversified productive systems and pluriactivity practices such as animal husbandry, artisanal dairy production, and fishing used as complementary strategies for social reproduction. The narratives of the interviewees reveal that the compulsory displacement involved not only material losses but also territorial and symbolic ruptures, requiring continuous adaptation to new living and working spaces. The study concludes that the resettlement process has been marked by challenges in consolidating sustainable rural livelihoods, highlighting the need to strengthen public policies aimed at supporting family farming in resettled territories. There is a need to strengthen actions related to technical assistance, rural credit, and support for family farming, considering the socio-territorial specificities of resettlement areas, in order to promote more dignified conditions for remaining in the countryside Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.unimontes.br/handle/1/2551 2026-02-27T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.unimontes.br/handle/1/2550 Título: O direito à cidade nas margens: fragmentação socioespacial e condições de mobilidade em bairro periférico de Montes Claros/MG Autor(es): Oliva, Jheimisson Ferreira de Abstract: The dissertation investigates how the unequal production of urban space conditions the access of peripheral populations to opportunities, services, and urban life itself. Taking the Residencial Sul neighborhood as its empirical focus, the study is grounded in the understanding that housing provision, when dissociated from infrastructure, transportation, and public facilities, is not sufficient in itself to guarantee the realization of the right to the city. The main objective is to analyze how sociospatial fragmentation is manifested in residents’ everyday mobility experiences, highlighting limits, strategies, and perceptions built from the concrete experience of the territory. Methodologically, the research adopts a quali- quantitative approach, combining a critical literature review on the production of urban space and mobility, analysis of municipal documents and legislation, and semi-structured interviews conducted with twenty neighborhood residents. The findings indicate that the presence of the Dr. Mario Tourinho Avenue highway operates as an important physical and symbolic barrier, reinforcing the peripheral condition of Residencial Sul and hindering its integration into the urban fabric. Public transportation provision proves to be insufficient, with a limited number of routes, long headways, and operational constraints, which increases travel time and imposes daily burdens on workers and students. In this context, urban mobility reveals itself to be deeply unequal: those who own private vehicles reach the city with greater speed and autonomy, while others remain subjected to long waits, multiple transfers, and high costs. Mobility therefore moves away from the notion of a universal social right and becomes closer to a logic of selective privilege. It was also observed that many essential services, employment opportunities, and leisure options are concentrated in more central areas, forcing residents to undertake frequent trips to meet basic needs. The study concludes that although housing policy has enabled access to homeownership, it has not been accompanied by equivalent investments in urban integration, resulting in the persistence of barriers that limit residents’ full inclusion in the dynamics of the city. Everyday mobility experiences thus reveal how sociospatial fragmentation continues to structure inequalities and redefine who can effectively enjoy the right to the city Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.unimontes.br/handle/1/2550 2026-03-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.unimontes.br/handle/1/2106 Título: A GEOGRAFIA DAS REDES DE EXPORTAÇÕES DE CARNE BOVINA BRASILEIRA: as interações espaciais dos transportes e conexões com os mercados globais Autor(es): Santos, Caio Carvalho Abstract: Since the 1970, the globalization of capital and the financialization of the economy have transformed global trade dynamics. In the beef market between 2001 and 2022, the United States, Brazil, China, Argentina, and Australia led production; Australia, the United States, Brazil, the Netherlands, and India stood out as major exporters; while the United States, China, Japan, Italy, and Germany were the main importers. This study aims to analyze the spatial dynamics of transport networks in the distribution of Brazilian beef exports from 2001 to 2022. The methodology was based on theoretical construction related to the aforementioned themes, collection of secondary data, spatialization, and analysis of the information obtained. China was the leading importer, while the United States simultaneously played the role of major producer, exporter, and importer. Despite its importance as a producer and exporter, Brazil faces logistical challenges, especially due to its reliance on road transport. States such as Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Pará, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Bahia, and São Paulo concentrate the largest herds, pasture areas, slaughterhouses, and slaughter volumes. São Paulo leads beef exports, even with a smaller herd. Brazilian exports of live cattle and beef increased significantly during the period. Pará led in the shipment of live cattle, mainly through the ports of Vila do Conde and Belém, to markets such as Venezuela, Egypt, and Turkey. Approximately 12% of the beef produced was exported, with São Paulo, Mato Grosso, and Goiás as key contributors. The Port of Santos accounted for nearly 65% of the export value, with China, Russia, Hong Kong, and Egypt as main destinations. Despite logistical bottlenecks, deficiencies in transport infrastructure, and occasional crises, Brazil has managed to maintain a minimum level of efficiency in its beef exports Thu, 28 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.unimontes.br/handle/1/2106 2025-08-28T00:00:00Z
