Authors: Steinhaus, Cassiano Rodolfo Abstract: This dissertation analyzes the influence of state capacities on the incorporation and implementation of the General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais – LGPD) in the municipalities of the Rio Pardo and Taquari Valleys. Concerns regarding personal data security intensified with the advent of Information and Communication Technologies and the introduction of the internet in the 1980s, culminating in the enactment of the LGPD in 2018. This legislation elevated data protection to the status of a fundamental guarantee, essential for a dignified life in the digital context. However, six years after its promulgation, the implementation of the LGPD has yet to materialize in most municipalities—major holders of personal information—due to a lack of financial and human resources and limited state capacity. This study seeks to understand the adoption of the LGPD through a theoretical framework centered on state capacities, operationalized in two dimensions: technical-administrative (human and financial resources, planning instruments, and management structures) and political-relational (interfederative arrangements and mechanisms of internal and external control). A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative research (maturity questionnaire) and qualitative research (personal interviews), focusing on 21 municipalities in the region. The empirical results reveal an uneven implementation landscape. The majority of respondents (13 out of 21) are in the initial stage of compliance, indicating low institutionalization of data governance and deficits in technical-administrative capacities, such as limited budgetary availability for data protection. Conversely, some municipalities—such as Venâncio Aires, Vera Cruz, Estrela, Lajeado, and Teutônia—have demonstrated significant progress, with formalized Privacy Committees and Data Protection Officers, reflecting greater institutional capacity. The study concludes that state capacities directly influence the effectiveness of LGPD implementation, and municipal inertia in compliance poses a considerable social risk. This may lead to non-pecuniary regulatory sanctions, such as the suspension of data processing, with substantial harm to the community. The findings underscore the need for public policies that strengthen technical-administrative and political-relational capacities at the subnational level to ensure regulatory compliance and the protection of fundamental rights.

Authors: Schwanz, Angélica Kohls Abstract: The objective of this thesis is to analyze the territorial conflicts along the São Gonçalo Canal in Pelotas/RS, which, between the planned city and the real city, resulted in a fragmented and exclusionary territory. Based on this context, it analyzes how claims for the right to the city and the landscape could constitute a possible tool for thinking about city-building, as an alternative to traditional models of urban and territorial planning. The research is aligned with contemporary discussions on regional development, which consider the region and intraregional dynamics as a form of resistance to the homogenization of spaces, which erases local traits while excluding those who live on the margins of this process from decision-making. At the same time, the struggle of these diverse groups for recognition and the right to participate in decisions has been considered an alternative to planning models that are detached from reality. The riverside landscape, built in deep relationship with human beings and inseparable from the territory, takes on fundamental importance in this process, as these communities form and build their citizenship in the constant struggles to remain and for the right to decide on their spaces. The research was based on a qualitative constructivist approach, seeking to address the technical and sensitive content of the theme. To understand the territorial dynamics, as well as the conflicts present in the area, a documentary and bibliographic analysis was carried out. Data collection was carried out through ethnographic walks, urban walkgraphics, and semi-structured interviews with community residents, representatives of public authorities (executive and legislative), universities, and NGOs, as well as images of the area. The results highlight the complex territorial formation on the banks of the São Gonçalo Canal, characterized by the movement/fluidity of the waters, the riverside populations, and the fishermen, contrasting with the rigidity of the plans, gated communities, and ineffective legislation, which in many cases, in line with market interests, regulates and induces exclusion and segregation. In contrast, riverside populations resist and re(exist) in the territory-landscape, and in this movement they create survival tactics, inscribing themselves in the field of landscape citizenship as a tool for thinking about city-making.

Authors: Souza, Givago Martin de Abstract: The municipality of Charqueadas was emancipated from São Jerônimo in 1982. Before its emancipation, the municipality already had two prisons, but it was afterwards that the process that gave rise to what is now a prison complex began, and the municipality now has eight prisons. With the construction of the prison complex, there has been a commuter movement of family members and street vendors on visiting days, especially at weekends, who become consumers in local commerce, stimulating an increase in sales for suppliers of products and services, both direct and outsourced, necessary for the operation of the penitentiaries. This research was based on the theory of the Two Circuits of the Urban Economy, proposed by Milton Santos in the 1970s. The purpose of this research was to analyze the configuration of the lower circuit of the urban economy on visiting days at the Charqueadas prison complex. Emphasis was placed on the lower circuit, made up of small-scale economic activities such as small businesses and services, freelance vendors, street vendors, among others, which have more influence on a local and regional scale and, in this case, are more relevant to the area of Regional Development. Visiting day was analyzed because it is a specific event and because of the number of prisoners in the municipality, which is reflected in the number of visits and the flow of people in the city and around the prison complex. Primary data was collected through semi-structured interviews with five owners of establishments in the following sectors: a Minimarket and Restaurant; a Bar, Warehouse and Inn; a Transport Company; an app-based transportation service provider; and a Restaurant, Snack Bar and Inn. Considering the objectives of this research, it can be concluded that they were achieved. The activities of the lower circuit of the urban economy on visiting days at the Charqueadas prison complex were identified and characterized, highlighting their relevance to the municipality and especially to the enterprises, predominantly micro-enterprises and individual micro-entrepreneurs, which make practically all their sales and turnover on these days. These businesses, classified and included in the Lower Circuit of the Urban Economy, express the relevance of this circuit in the municipality, highlighting the relevance of this study.

Authors: Cardoso, Aparecida Mendes Abstract: The general objective of this study was to analyze how Elinor Ostrom's principles of common goods governance are applied in the implementation of development strategies for the Jacupiranga Mosaic (MOJAC), in the Ribeira River Valley. The methodology used in this research was qualitative and critically analytical, following the Middle Range Theory. Data collection was carried out through a documentary survey of Decrees, Ordinances, Laws and Public Policies, as well as newspaper and magazine clippings from the last 10 years that included information about MOJAC. Interviews were conducted with social actors involved in the changes taking place in the Mosaic over the last decade and the conflicts of interest generated. The results of the research revealed a scenario of advances and challenges in the implementation of development strategies for the governance of common goods in MOJAC. Elinor Ostrom’s principles for the management of common goods, such as clear rules, the participation of stakeholders in decision-making, effective monitoring and graduated sanctions, are partially met, but there are obstacles, especially due to difficulties in access and equitable representation on the Councils. Effective monitoring and graduated sanctions also face challenges due to the lack of resources and updated data. We conclude that the socio-spatial formation of the Ribeira Valley in recent years highlights the complexity of the social, economic and environmental dynamics in the region. To achieve truly sustainable and inclusive development, it is essential to continue investing in sustainable practices, public policies adapted to local needs and governance mechanisms that promote the active participation of communities, in accordance with the principles of the MOJAC Law and seeking greater adherence to Ostrom’s principles.
