In Brazil, the Unified Health System (SUS) is the result of great popular struggles for a more democratic health. We can consider Primary Care (PC) as the basis for the function of knowing social and spatial realities better than any other level of care. The PNAB points out that it is the duty of the professionals who make up the PHC to execute territorialization as a strategy to plan the performance of the service. How is territorialization perceived by the health secretaries of the cities of the VI Health Region of RN? The general objective of this work is to evaluate how territorialization is understood and used by the health secretaries of the VI URSAP. The specific objectives are: to describe the profile of the health secretaries of the VI URSAP; understand the dynamics of use of territorialization in the VI URSAP; to know how territorialization contributes to the health planning process. Descriptive study of a qualitative nature. It developed in the 37 municipalities of VI URSAP. The research participants were health secretaries. Data collection took place through interviews. Data were analyzed using the content analysis method by thematic categories. The categories of analysis were: managers' knowledge about territorialization in health; the relationship between territorialization and health planning; the professional training of health managers and the relationship with the understanding and use of territorialization in health planning and the political and administrative obstacles and challenges for the effectiveness of health planning based on the territorialization of AB. Only 15 health secretaries agreed to participate in the survey, which represents only about 40.6% of the total sample. There was a greater participation of people who fall within the age group between 40 and 49 years old. About 67% of the participants declare themselves white and 74% are women. 14 managers reported having higher education. Nursing training stands out with about 44%. Only 02 municipalities have territorialization carried out. Territorialization is associated only with the organization of the work process of the Community Health Agents (ACS), in the division of areas and micro areas and delimitation of the performance of a certain Basic Health Unit (UBS). there is an association in the lines of territorialization with planning, but these aspects are not experienced in practice. It appears that there is a clear difference in thinking on the subject, depending on the training area. Within the health area, some professionals indicate little familiarity with the subject in question. The research participants point out challenges in relation to the insufficient workforce within the teams, the lack of financial support and the overload of bureaucratic issues in the routine of the health manager. Territorialization, therefore, is still poorly understood, but this study shows the sensitivity of the secretaries about its importance to guide planning.

Population displacements and all the factors related to this phenomenon are important in the constitution of geographic space. Within population mobility, commuting to work or study has gained prominence. In the commuting movement for educational purposes, there is the daily displacement of higher education students. These take place between the place of their residences and the headquarters of the municipalities in which their Higher Education Institutions - HEIs are located. In this perspective, the general objective of this work is to analyze the commuting movements and their consequences in the daily commute of undergraduate students from Aurora (CE) to the host cities of their respective HEIs, motivated by recent policies of democratization and interiorization of higher education in Brazil. This is a research of a mixed nature, as it combines both quantitative and qualitative methods, and an exploratory one, as it is a case study. For the discussion of the first 03 (three) sections, a survey of the conceptual theoretical framework on migrations and commuting in Brazil, Northeast and Semiarid was carried out; Policies and Programs for the Expansion and Internalization of Higher Education in the country, focusing on the cities of Cajazeiras (PB), Crato (CE) and Juazeiro do Norte (CE); IBGE surveys and microdata collection; study by the Regional Division of Brazil into Immediate Geographic Regions and Intermediate Geographic Regions (IBGE, 2017) and the research report on Regions of Influences of Cities (REGIC, 2018), in order to characterize the hierarchy and urban network of the municipalities receiving the municipalities studied. The empirical research was divided into two stages: application of a socioeconomic questionnaire to profile the students and a semi-structured interview to analyze the possible intervening agents of daily commuting. The findings corroborate the hypothesis raised in the research that the public that practices daily commuting has fragile socioeconomic characteristics with a monthly family income of up to 02 (two) minimum wages, are mostly female, come from public schools and therefore see commuting as an alternative to access higher education. However, they are subject to daily commutes lasting hours, exposed to risks, natural weather and fatigue that end up making their academic life difficult.

The objective of the research is to characterize the milk production chain in the upper west region of Rio Grande do Norte. For this, information and secondary data from documents, scientific works carried out on the subject and official websites will be used, among which, IBGE, EMBRAPA, IPEA etc., as well as field research, in the processing units in order to verify with the participating producers in this context the sequence of this milk production chain with a proportional sample of milk producing establishments in the Alto Oeste Potiguar. And the specific objectives are: To group the main types of milk producers within the scope of family farming; to identify the experiences of integration of milk production with the agroindustry, especially with the small agroindustry; to analyze the form of management in the strategies of collective action through cooperatives; identify the main ways of building and accessing markets. In Brazil, dairy farming is very important in both economic and social aspects. In 2018, milk production in the country was 33.8 billion liters. The South and Southeast regions continue to lead the national production, with 34.2% and 33.9% of the total liters, respectively, the Northeast region follows in third place with 13% of the national production. National milk production grew by 1.6%, with the highest growth in the Northeast region. (Milk Yearbook, 2019). In the economic sphere, not only management, but how good management is one of the primary ways to achieve a good result in terms of productivity and product sales on the property. In this sense, it is also important to have as an objective for this good management the planning of the activities that will be carried out, as well as the way of selling and producing milk. In this way the work is justified, primarily, by the importance that agriculture, in general, and the dairy activity, in particular, had in the economic development and in the survival of a considerable part of the population in the past centuries until the present day, as well as by the socioeconomic relevance of the activity, since the data related to the study area indicate the presence of dairy cattle in all municipalities.

The Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) is the implementation of the principles of the National Policy on Mental Health, Alcohol and Drugs, replacing asylum care with community-based care focused on the concept of territory. In Brazil, the pandemic touted existing problems such as social inequality, populations living in risky conditions of housing and sanitation, without access to water and in agglomeration situation, emerging discussions about territory and the health-disease process that is common at different levels. intervention of public health and psychosocial care policies to be fragmented from this context. The study aims to analyze how the RAPS is structured and its relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the VI Health Region of Rio Grande do Norte. From the perspective of investigating scientific evidence from the dialogue between territorialization, vulnerability and SDGs; to verify the composition and intersectoral articulation of the RAPS foreseen in the State and Municipal Health Plans in the VI Health Region; understand the relationship between integrality in mental health care and the SDGs (3, 6); to prepare a map indicating the main points of the RAPS in the VI Health Region and the municipalities that these services cover. This is a descriptive and documentary study with a qualitative approach, it will be carried out in 03 municipalities of the VI Region of RN, it will have the health secretaries and RAPS professionals as study participants, a semi-structured interview script was prepared and for data analysis Bardin's content analysis technique. The research will have ethical judgment by the Ethics and Research Committee CEP/UERN supported by the principles of ethics in research, following resolution 466 of December 2012.

The expansion of the territory goes beyond the geographical boundaries, it is an approach that pleads social and economic issues, especially when referring to the process of expansion of the urban fabric as a condition for employment and income conditions. The resources invested cannot be merely financial, as expansion is also an urban phenomenon that has repercussions on the geographic space and, consequently, on life and well-being. In this context, it is necessary to reflect on the sanitation conditions in the health territory, considering that health and development are intrinsic. Thus, the general objective of the research is to analyze the organization of the offer of the health service to families in the context of the expansion of the territory of the basic units in the municipality of Pau dos Ferros, RN. This is a descriptive and exploratory study of predominantly qualitative character. The research will be carried out in three stages: Stage 1 – consists of collecting secondary data from the SUS information system. Stage 2 – participation of 6 nurses and 16 ACS who will answer the pre-prepared questionnaire. Step 3 – technique of observing the environment. The analysis will be carried out in two methodological perspectives, comprising aspects of Zanelli and the method of observing the environment. The dissertation will be structured in the understanding of the role of primary health care in the organization of the territory, making a bridge with the sanitation conditions and well-being of the population.

Desertification is a socio-environmental problem that affects dry lands par excellence - arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas - resulting from natural conditions and the aggravation of human actions, causing rupture, irreversibility of these environments and compromising the lives of populations. In this sense, this investigation is centered on the issue of desertification and the methodological repercussions of the geobiophysical indicators of desertification. To do so, it starts from the following problem: What are the levels of susceptibility to desertification in the crystalline portion of the Apodi-Mossoró Hydrographic Basin? The general objective is to analyze the susceptibility to desertification in the crystalline portion of the Apodi-Mossoró Hydrographic Basin; specifically; carry out geoenvironmental characterization of the crystalline portion of the Apodi-Mossoró watershed; to know the history of territorial use and occupation and the current socioeconomic activities of the area; identify levels of susceptibility to desertification in the study area through geobiophysical indicators. From the methodological point of view, the research is classified as applied in nature, explanatory by the objectives adopted and when the way of approaching the problem is quantitative-qualitative, in relation to the study design, characterized by the execution procedures, it is bibliographical, documentary , survey and field. Therefore, it is important to highlight that this procedural rite takes place in two main stages: in the office and in the field. The research has as its study location the Apodi-Mossoró watershed, narrowly the territorial cut of its crystalline portion, with an area of 7,352,784 km2, housing 57 municipalities, some partially inserted. In its entirety, the Apodi-Mossoró basin presents a geological singularity that conditions all its landscape dynamics. It is divided into two geological terrains: Precambrian crystalline basement in its upper and middle upper reaches, part of this study, and Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary units of the Potiguar basin in the lower middle to lower reaches. Regarding the geoenvironmental behavior of the crystalline portion, considering the geomorphological element, it is possible to specialize five environmental systems in the area, namely: Residual Massif of São Miguel and Luís Gomes, Residual Massif of Martins and Portalegre, Sertões dissecados of Pau dos Ferros, Sertões Campo Grande and Rio Apodi fluvial plains.

Housing production in small towns: a study on the implementation of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program in the Immediate Geographical Region of Pau dos Ferros/RN. The research has as general objective: to analyze the housing production in small towns, from the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program in the years of operation (2009-2020), considering the study on the urban insertion of the Range I housing units in the municipality of Pau dos Santos. Irons/RN. That said, the defined sample concerns the representatives of the municipal management of the housing sector, corresponding to the Municipal Department of Social Development and also the families benefited by the program until the year 2020. This research will use the hypothetical-deductive method, with an approach of concomitant triangulation of data, being classified as descriptive and exploratory research and that will use the techniques of documental, bibliographical and field research, through the collection of public and private data; consultation in magazines, theses, maps, books; also using the technique of conducting interviews and applying forms with research participants. Data analysis will be performed using the following techniques: coding, multivariate factorial and documental analysis. It is intended to present the urban-housing dynamics in the context of small cities, also pointing out the logic of production of the interiorized space.

The relationship between financial accumulation and (socio) economic development is observed in classical authors of economic literature, such as Marx (1996), Schumpeter (1997), Harvey (2005), Keynes (1996), Furtado (2005), among other authors. The development of the financial market, regarding the role played by the Credit and Capital Markets, has increased the accumulation of wealth, especially through the financing of industry, commerce, and other dynamic sectors of the capitalist economy. As a result, regions with potential levels of financial development have achieved greater success in terms of quality of life and development in their territories. In this context, this present dissertation work seeks to investigate the influence of the financial market on the economic dynamics of the development of the Brazilian Northeast and its relationship with capital, territory, and wealth generation in recent years (2012 to 2022). Specific objectives include: studying the historical role of the financial market in the formation of the northeastern economy; describing the theoretical and historical relationship between territory, capital, wealth generation, and regional development; investigating the dynamics of the financial market and capital flow as a vector for wealth generation and development in the Brazilian Northeast in recent years (2012 to 2022). This is an exploratory, bibliographic, and qualitative-quantitative research. As for the quantitative investigation, the data were obtained from the databases of Bacen, B3, Anbima, IPEA, Rais, among others. Regarding the results, it is observed that the trend of banking and financial concentration in the state of São Paulo is higher than in other locations in Brazil, especially in the entire Northeast. The historical success and growth of São Paulo explain most of the success of this market. On the other hand, the socio-economic indicators, poverty, wealth, savings levels, and employment in the Northeast reflect a lower financial dynamic in the region. Finally, we find, considering the challenge proposed in this work, based on the theoretical and empirical arsenal discussed, that the financial/capital sector tends to concentrate where there is a greater possibility of reproduction, valorization, and accumulation.

Education in Brazil still faces many problems that resulted from its historical process. Within this context, rural education arises with social movements to meet the needs of subjects who live in the countryside, the changes that took place in rural education, especially agricultural modernization, were important to think about rural education, however, it was the movements that leveraged the 1990s in Brazil, bringing countless discussions and contributions to the construction of an education that respected the culture and diversity of rural subjects. Therefore, this work aims to analyze how the construction of knowledge takes place from the perception of the teachers of the core I of teaching in the rural area of Luís Gomes RN. Starting from the following study question: what is the impression of the teachers of the Nucleus I of Education in the Rural Area of Luís Gomes - RN about the construction of knowledge in the field? In this sense, we adopted the design of qualitative research as a methodological process. We had as anchor for the research discussions the studies of Caldart (2004,2011), Carvalho (2005), Freire (2021), Leite (1999), Mattos (2004), Molina (2010,2012) among other authors that discuss the ongoing theme. The research will be carried out in three schools located in the rural area of Luís Gomes-RN: Rafael Gomes de Lima Teaching Unit, Pe. Raimundo Osvaldo Rocha and Hermógenes Batista Teaching Unit. To carry out the research, we opted for some investigative instruments typical of qualitative research, such as: classroom observation, semi-structured interviews with professors. Therefore, the work presented brings an approach about the paradigms that arise around the rural educator as well as about rural education, its formation and its role as a teacher.

The objective is to analyze the importance of small businesses to boost the economy of the Alto Oeste Potiguar territory, interpreting and explaining the role of public policies in entrepreneurship actions. The aim is to understand strategies and the determining factors in the generation of opportunities from the economic chains and the pace of movement of financial resources in the municipalities of the territory. As a methodology, an analysis of the role played by small businesses will be carried out in search of greater learning, efficiency and better results, where entrepreneurship contributes to the expansion of inclusion opportunities for the population. In addition, an attempt will be made to elaborate a typology to classify and group small businesses in the Alto Oeste Potiguar territory, considering selected criteria or indicators, especially within the scope of the Brazilian Service of Support for Micro and Small Companies (SEBRAE). In this sense, we have the research question: considering an economic environment in the semi-arid region that is still fragile, not very inclusive and dependent on transfers, what are the contributions of entrepreneurship through small businesses in boosting the regional economy of the Alto Oeste Potiguar territory? As an assumption, the territory has potential production chains in agriculture, industry, commerce and services with various types of small businesses that stand out for their ability to boost the municipalities of the Alto Oeste Potiguar territory. As a result, we will have determining factors for the dynamics of business at the municipal level and a favorable environment for the generation and expansion of opportunities, as well as territorial and regional development policies, in addition to the importance of planning. In conclusion, it is worth highlighting the Brazilian Regional Policy and the Regional Development Policy (PNDR), from 2003, resulting from development policies created to stimulate the economic dynamics of the Northeast based on small businesses at the municipal and territorial level.

This research seeks to analyze the diffusion process and performance of supermarket and cash-and-carry networks in the city of Pau dos Ferros (RN) (2000-2020). city located in the west of Rio Grande do Norte. The city of Pau dos Ferros presents itself in the region with a leading role for concentrating establishments providing specialized services, as well as for having a quantity and diversity of businesses. The research will be explanatory, as its central problem is the identification of factors that determine and contribute to the diffusion and performance of supermarket chains in the production of urban space in the city of Pau dos Ferros. Thus, this work seeks to identify the factors that have contributed to the production of urban space in this city in the period 2000 to 2020, being verified in this period, the arrival of the main supermarket chains and wholesalers. With the development of this work, we hope to contribute in the academic field by bringing to the discussions about the modernization of food retail, the arrival of large supermarket and wholesale retail chains.

Basic sanitation is an ecological issue that occurs as public health problems and the environment, in view of the direct impact on the daily life of society in the country and on the environment of society, mitigating economic problems resulting from the absence and promoting the prevention of diseases, reduction of of Alturas, expansion of tourism and the dimension of beings of the population's well-being. The theme of study is the quality of the research on the absence of basic sanitation in the municipality of Portalegre/RN, which supposedly compromises the quality of life of the local population. The general purpose of the study is to evaluate the research landscape of the research municipality Portalgre/RN of the review of the legal framework in light of the objective updated in 2020. and document analysis, field research in the population, photographic analysis and analysis of application data, registration . The population, the sample and the data of the research were based on the data provided by the Community Research Agents and thus the number of participants was delimited to a municipality through the means of the research sample. 335 to be applied. The data collection technique is integrated by a semi-structured structure with 33 open and closed questions to the population and consultation with public bodies: the Municipal Health and Sanitation Department and the Rio Grande do Norte Water and Sewerage Company (CAERN). The analysis proposal starts with the organization of the results of the results for the analysis and interpretation of the facts. These data were tabulated in the electronic spreadsheet editing program. Regarding agricultural results in the water supply axis, the urban area of Portalegre/RN tends to have 94% of homes supplied by CAERN and 80.74% of areas supplied with water from local weirs or dams. In the sanitary sewage axis, 96% of the effluents in the urban area discharge their effluents into the sky and 1 launch from the open rural areas destined their effluents to the black pits. In the area of cleaning and solid waste management, 99.5% public, 3% of uses in the urban area destined for solid waste, and 93% of its uses for the urban area destined for the burning of their own waste. In terms of urban drainage and rainwater management, 17.5% of the verifications in the urban area identified the existence of lakes close to residences. It is concluded that the municipality exposes the four axes of basic sanitation and that it aims to compromise the quality of life of the population that can imply or hinder the fulfillment of the universalization goals contained in the legal update of quality.

The gender debate in the countryside is an issue that deserves to be highlighted, given the high disparity in relationships, ways of working, access to public policies and management. The general objective of this work is to understand how the process of social organization of rural women workers has enabled their role in the productive space of family agriculture in the rural area of the city of São Miguel/RN. The research locus was the Union of Rural Workers of São Miguel/RN. For the materialization of this study, a qualitative approach was used, with a field study, combined with the bibliographic and documentary base, giving support to the theoretical and conceptual construction of the investigation. As a collection instrument, direct observation and semi-structured interviews were used, with open questions, aimed at workers associated with the Union and at the institution's employees. For data analysis, descriptive and interpretive analysis was used as a technique, with the purpose of presenting, deepening and elucidating the interviewees' statements. The survey results show engagement of rural workers in the Union, however, this participation takes place from the link through benefits and/or credit lines. In the organizational process, there is no mobilization or articulation around the development of affirmative public policies for women, specifically. It is still necessary to move forward and promote initiatives in this sense, even if involvement occurs, the movement is not actually enabling workers to mobilize around their collective needs.

One of today's most worrisome environmental problems is the excessive generation of
Municipal Solid Waste, as well as its environmentally inadequate final destination.
Many Brazilian municipalities have not yet implemented adequate solutions for the management of
waste, even after the enactment of Law No. 12,305 of August 2, 2010, the
called the National Solid Waste Policy, which has established guidelines and targets for
federal entities, private institutions and society to improve this scenario. The purpose of this
work is to analyze the environmental management of solid waste in the municipalities of
Transhipment of São Miguel and José da penha, in Rio Grande do Norte. The research will take a
quantitative, conducting a case study that has as objects of study the
municipalities of São Miguel, José da Penha, Coronel João Pessoa, Venha-Ver, Riacho de Santana,
Major Sales, Paraná and Luís Gomes, all small and located in the Alto region
West Potiguar. As for the objectives, the research can be classified as exploratory and
Descriptive. The data to be collected will be bibliographic, documentary and field in nature.
The stages of research development are: theoretical survey of the theme, definition of
area of study, definition of research instruments, registration with the Ethics Committee in
Research, data collection in the field and organization, treatment and analysis of data. The
research instruments are the questionnaire, the form, the interaction matrix, the Vehicle
Unmanned Aerial And environmental management matrix. The questionnaires will be applied to
managers responsible for the solid waste management policies of the municipalities and
forms will be directed to the resident population near the final destination areas
solid waste. The study sample is from 1 manager from each municipality, plus at least 5
residents of each municipality, totaling 48 individuals. The data collected will be part of this
may be published in scientific events and published in national journals or
International.

In recent years, with urban sprawl, population growth and changing habits of
consumption occurred in Brazilian municipalities, unbridled generations of solid waste, which
consequently have brought numerous impacts to the environment, such as the degradation of
environmental quality; and the socioeconomic environment, in the face of health problems and spending on
investments in public policies. The search for adequacy to Law No. 12305 of 2010, which
establishes the National Solid Waste Policy -PNRS brings several obstacles to management
therefore, the present work aims to analyze the management of solid waste
municipalities in the semi-arid, as well as their socio-environmental consequences from the
analysis of solid waste management of 04 municipalities (Tenente Ananias, Alexandria, Pilões and
Marcelino Vieira), which correspond to the municipalities to be served by the
Transhipment of Alexandria, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The research was outlined by the
development of the following topics: (i) general aspects of solid waste; (ii) impacts
of solid waste; iii) legal aspects and environmental management of solid waste; and
iv) integrative review. The study is qualitative and quantitative in nature, using concepts
and data found in the literature, databases and institutional websites. As for the
procedures, it is intended to conduct survey, mapping with UAV, evaluation
environmental impact (EIA) and, finally, preparation of proposals for planning and
environmental management of solid waste. Therefore, it is expected with such analyses to propose
environmental management actions for municipalities, where they can assist future work, in addition to
to enable discussions in the community that move investments to raise the
territorial development of the semi-arid.

The justification for choosing the theme of this research paper involves discussions about the dynamics of public policies and the configuration of the Transfer of Income in Brazil (PTRB) through the arrangements of universality and non-conditionalities married to our life story, here briefly recorded. We are also interested in understanding the object of study under discussion - the forms of resistance to the implementation of the Transfer of Basic Income of Universal and Unconditional Citizenship (TRBCUI).

The following search discusses the provision of mental health in the city of Iracema/CE, in view of the legislation published during the Temer-Bolsonaro governments (Technical Note n° 3/2020 and Ordinance n° 2.979) that announced the separation between the NASF (Expanded Family Health Center) and Primary Care, as well as the cut in resources. The central hypothesis assumes the precariousness of the provision of health care in the city, while the objectives sought to understand what place the NASF-AB occupied in mental health care in the city, as well as the occurrence or not of scrapping, and if so, how the local population felt this. Having a qualitative/quantitative methodological character, in the data collection, 37 semi-structured questionnaires were applied with users (31) and professionals (06) presents in the daily life of the UBSs - Basic Health Units of the city during August/2022, being categorized and analyzed in the light of reference authors in the social sciences. The study in question developed through (PLANDITES - UERN) and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of UERN (CEP- UERN) through opinion 4.838.197.

Abiotic aspects are fundamental to the maintenance of life on our planet. For this reason, several studies have been conducted with the objective of emphasizing the potentialities of geodiversity. In Brazil, on state of RN, one of the points that deserve attention is the municipality of Francisco Dantas, which has geomorphological and geological highlights in its territorial limits, adorned by rock paintings that condition greater interest for this place. In this case, the attractions present in the aforementioned municipality led us to the following question: What are the tourist potentialities that the Geodiversity of the municipality of Francisco Dantas/RN can offer to society? Thus, it is believed that, through the present study, which aims to evaluate the tourist potential ities of the geodiversity of the municipality of Francisco Dantas/RN, it is possible to clarify this issue. Therefore, the methodological path has been structured in some stages, namely: detailed bibliographic review; fieldwork; application of the GEOSSIT method, developed from the concepts of Brilha (2005) and Garcia-Cortés & Urquí (2009) and the mapping of the area, with the support of geoprocessing software. With the progress of the work, a number of significant researches were obtained, even with the joviality of the theme and, with the accomplishment of the fieldwork in the archaeological sites Congo I, II and III and in the group, we glimpsed points of exuberant geodiversity that affirm the local tourist potential.

Solid waste management is a topic that is currently being debated, taking into account the impacts caused by the absence of public policies or their poor application. Although significant advances were notorious after the institution of the national solid waste policy, Law 12.305/2010, there is still a lot to be done. In Rio Grande do Norte, the state policy has distributed municipalities by region, and through this grouping aims to build sanitary landfills managed in a consortium in each region. The reality of municipalities in Potiguares does not differ in the national context, lack of policies aimed at managing solid waste in order to mitigate its environmental, economic, social, territorial impacts, among others. In Alto Oeste Potiguar, more precisely in the region of Pau dos Ferros, eleven municipalities are components, of which only seven are in compliance with the National Sanitation Information System. The main objective of this research was to investigate the management of solid waste in these municipalities, present its impacts and, at the same time, debate solutions and the creation of a technical-theoretical collection. For that, a bibliographical and documental research was developed, followed by a field work. The 18th SNIS report, the state solid waste policy and the field work showed the inexistence of public policies aimed at efficient solid waste management and, consequently, a scenario of pollution, landfills, lack of investments, lack of political articulation and a stalled landfill project.

The way in which the occupation of the national territory and the industrialization process took place made Brazil a country marked by regional inequalities. These disparities are manifested, including access to higher education in several ways. Historically, the IES were installed in the richest regions of the country, relegating non-metropolitan and non-coastal areas to the background, making access to higher education in Brazil a privilege of a few. However, between 2003 and 2014, a virtuous cycle of growth that marked the Lula and Dilma governments made it possible to implement a set of policies for the expansion and internalization of higher education. In this way, regions in the interior of the country gained new stimuli to development, in view of the relationships between education and development. In this context, the main objective of the present work is to analyze the contributions of the internalization of public higher education to the development of the Alto Oeste Potiguar from the teaching units of Pau dos Ferros/RN. Therefore, the study was constructed through an appreciation of the literature on the interfaces between universities and development in the light of the ideas of Celso Furtado, Joseph Schumpeter, the neo-schumpeterians and Amartya Sen. In addition, it was made a review on the transformations of access to higher education in Brazil. Subsequently, a collection of secondary data was carried out, necessarily documentary, obtained from MEC, INEP, IBGE, INPI, RAIS, FIRJAN, Lattes Platform and Sucupira and official websites of the IES studied. Thus, the methodological procedures of this research are bibliographic and documentary, of a descriptive nature, with qualitative-quantitative approaches. The research hypothesis is that the region of Alto Oeste Potiguar has been developing with the presence of public universities installed in Pau dos Ferros through positive externalities directly arising from the teaching, research and extension activities of these institutions. The data collected indicated that the IES installed in Pau dos Ferros are engendering, in several facets, a process of development in the region of Alto Oeste Potiguar. In the economic sector, universities have contributed to the qualification of the regional workforce through the insertion of individuals with higher education in the labor market. Added to this is the higher remunerations associated with these workers. In addition, extension and entrepreneurship actions also cause specific improvements in the regional socioeconomic dynamics. In relation to the social and human aspects, it was found that the IES promoted the educational development of the region through indicators of adequacy of teacher training, which presented an important role in the composition of the FIRJAN Index of Municipal Development. The results also highlighted the strong generation of new knowledge and the training of masters and doctors in the region. The survey of innovation indicators showed that the institutions' innovative activity is getting stronger, although it is incipient to be characterized as a vector of regional development.

ABSTRACT

Throughout time, the geographic space is the result of transformations caused by human actions or activities, through their social relations. At first, this transformation occurred in the rural space, through technique and the development of economic, political, cultural relations, thus producing the territory, from the appropriation of space by human actions. It is through these relations, after the development of agriculture, being an activity that has caused great changes over time in a process of interrelation between the natural and social environment. From this perspective, the research intends to discuss the transformations caused by agricultural activity in the Chapada do Apodi-RN, emphasizing the clash between peasant family farming and agribusiness and the consequences produced by this conflict. Therefore, the research is based on the following problem: what are the consequences generated by the clash between peasant family farming and capitalist agribusiness? From this guiding question, the research has as its general objective to analyze the (re)territorial organization of agricultural production in the Chapada do Apodi/RN, considering the socio-environmental conflict between the two production models mentioned above. For this, the following specific objectives were listed: to understand the role of globalization in the process of disaggregation of agricultural spaces in the semi-arid; to evaluate territorial rural development policies with a focus on the semi-arid; to identify chronologically the dynamics of territorial construction of the Chapada do Apodi before the territorialization of capital; to problematize the socio-environmental conflicts that are established between agribusiness and peasant family agriculture. For the construction of these discussions, it is based on the following authors: Oliveira (2014); Abrão (2010); Pinto (2018); Santos (2016); Felício (2006); Albano (2014); Matos and Pessôa (2011); Filho (2006); Campos (2006) and among others that support the foundation of this research. Methodologically, the research is instrumentalized in the quanti-qualitative method, in order to interpret social relations in the territory lived by the subjects. Thus, it is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive research, based on the historical-dialectical materialism, allowing a reading of the facts related to territorial transformations caused by human beings. Therefore, we hope to obtain, with regard to the results of this research, the analysis of the socio-environmental effects caused by the actions of representatives of agribusiness in the sample community present in the Chapada do Apodi-RN, which practices peasant family agriculture and suffers from the onslaught of agribusiness.

Properly managing basic sanitation is an extremely important debate for the survival and development of the Brazilian population, since, despite Brazil having large freshwater sources, most of its territory suffers from the effects of drought and few policy initiatives of water resources. These reasons are enough for access to water and sanitation to stand out as major social concerns. This research intends to analyze, bring proposals and public sanitation tools that, added to the existing ones, can achieve a more comfortable and healthier situation for the population of the semiarid region. For this, it is also essential to analyze the urban expansion of the city of Cajazeiras, through satellite images available on the INPE website and Google Earth. Once the point of greatest growth is defined, new images will be made using the Drone, so that we have updated images of the location and the current situation of sanitation and the environmental impacts caused by the absence of some services. Then, a documentary investigation will be carried out at the Municipal Secretariat of Planning of Cajazeiras, to find out whether the municipality has a basic sanitation plan or not, and from an environmental management matrix, the necessary information will be obtained so that guidelines can be created that assist the public administration in decision-making on the management of basic sanitation, evaluating how and which locations are or are not being served by sanitation services. Initially, it was observed in works and in mappings made in the region through google Earth, the great highlight in the north of Cajazeiras, more precisely in the Pio X district, a needy region with a high rate of development. The next step will be the analysis of environmental impacts in this region

To investigate the expansion process of stricto sensu graduate programs that have occurred in recent years exceeds its mere measurement. It is not only a question of mapping the indexes of existing inequalities, but also promoting actions that allow the creation of instruments that result in coping with the asymmetries present in graduate school. It is the object of this study to discuss the importance of stricto sensu graduate programs in the Semiarid, properly, the postgraduate courses of the Advanced Campus of Pau dos Ferros (CAPF), of the State University of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), located in the municipality of Pau dos Ferros/RN. In this sense, we have as a central research question: To what extent have the stricto sensu graduate programs offered at the Pau dos Ferros Advanced Campus (CAPF/UERN) contribute to the reduction of regional asymmetry? The objective is to analyze the scope of the policy of internalization of stricto sensu graduate programs in the face of overcoming regional asymmetry in the courses offered on the said campus. From a qualitative approach, we used the questionnaire as a data collection technique. We applied 209 questionnaires to graduates of stricto sensu graduate courses at CAPF/UERN to trace the profile, regional origin, training and professional performance of the subjects investigated. In addition to obtaining data from the questionnaires, we conducted a survey with the funding agencies CAPES, CNPq, MEC, CNE, Decrees, Statutes and Laws that support and evaluate Brazilian graduate programs. This information allowed the compilation of the records, based on the selection of indicators of greater relevance for the spatialization, quantification and qualification analyses of this collected information. The results show the scope and dynamics of the stricto sensu graduate programs of CAPF/UERN, its importance, dynamicization and insertion in inland cities of the Brazilian Semi-arid. With this, there are better indicators of the conditions of access and permanence of students in these programs.
