Título: Relação entre a exposição a poluentes e internações por doenças respiratórias crônicas em residentes de São Caetano do Sul – SP Autor: Camacho, Gabriel Tieppo Gonçalves Primeiro orientador: Pellini, Alessandra Cristina Guedes Abstract: Introduction: The ABC Paulista region in São Paulo faces challenges regarding sustainable urban development, where economic and social progress coexist with environmental and public health pressures. Despite its high Human Development Index (HDI) of 0.862, São Caetano do Sul (SCS) is not immune to the challenges of air pollution, given its substantial vehicle fleet and industrial sector. Air pollution—specifically particulate matter (PM)—has been linked to adverse respiratory health effects, primarily affecting children and the elderly. This study aims to investigate the relationship between air pollution and hospitalizations for chronic respiratory diseases in São Caetano do Sul, a municipality characterized by both a high HDI and significant environmental challenges. Objective: To understand the relationship between air pollution (PM10, O3, NO2) and the prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases between 2010 and 2023 in São Caetano do Sul (SP). Methods: This longitudinal time-series study utilizes aggregated secondary data from 2010 to 2023. Air pollution data were obtained from CETESB, while data on hospitalizations for chronic respiratory diseases (asthma, COPD, and CRD) were collected from DATASUS. Monthly hospitalization frequencies were calculated and stratified by sex, age group, and disease type. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and time-series analysis to identify trends and seasonality. Microsoft Excel and Google Colab were used for the analysis. Results: On an annual basis, there is a moderate-to-strong positive correlation between hospitalization rates for asthma and chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) and levels of particulate matter (PM₁₀) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in São Caetano do Sul, with a notable long-term association between asthma and NO₂ (r = 0.6295). In contrast, monthly analyses revealed high volatility and inconsistent seasonal fluctuations—potentially driven by the modulating influence of climatic factors (such as winter thermal inversions)—while ozone (O₃) showed weak and predominantly negative correlations. Finally, a historical low in CRD hospitalizations was observed in 2020 (79 cases), constituting a “natural experiment” that demonstrates how social isolation and reduced urban mobility reliant on fossil fuels during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in immediate, measurable epidemiological relief for municipal public health Instituição: Universidade Nove de Julho Tipo do documento: Dissertação

Título: Territórios e saberes: sistematização participativa para a educação ambiental crítica em comunidades vulnerabilizadas Autor: Silva, Priscilla Pereira da Primeiro orientador: Ribeiro, Andreza Portella Abstract: Critical Environmental Education requires practices that engage with the reality of vulnerable territories; nevertheless, educators working in these communities need planning instruments that articulate theory and practice. Although principles such as socio-environmental justice, environmental racism, and the ecology of knowledges are well established in the literature, tools that translate them into concrete planning rooted in the reality of communities are still lacking. Given this gap, this research aimed to systematize a Guiding Framework for planning Critical Environmental Education actions in vulnerable territories, grounded in the trajectories of educators who work directly within such realities. The study adopted a qualitative approach with a methodological protocol comprising two stages: (i) the development of a research instrument grounded in scientific literature, with participatory refinement by the researcher, who also works in urban communities and favelas; (ii) this instrument served as an elicitation device for discussions in activities carried out with 13 educators from the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region, distributed across two focus groups with distinct profiles: technical-academic (FG1) and community-territorial (FG2). Data treatment combined individual assessments and group discussions with thematic and lexicometric analysis. Convergence of opinions between the groups was found regarding the centrality of education, showing that, despite differing backgrounds and experiences, there was complementarity of knowledges concerning socio-environmental problems, understood across cultural, economic, and political dimensions, associated with precarious access to basic rights and urban infrastructure. Territorial inequalities condition distinct ways of experiencing environmental problems, conferring centrality to socio-environmental justice, the valuing of local knowledges, and the participation of subjects in the construction of territorialized educational practices. In this sense, the Guiding Framework constitutes a social technology rooted in the reality of vulnerable communities, capable of supporting the continuing education of environmental educators, in alignment with Research Line 3 — Innovations and Applied Practices in Urban Planning, while also presenting potential contribution to the achievement of the SDGs, in particular target 4.7, focused on human rights, citizenship, and cultural diversity and target 11.3, concerning participatory territorial planning in contexts of urban vulnerability.

Título: Segurança alimentar e nutricional na cidade de São Paulo: o papel das tecnologias digitais e políticas públicas nas dimensões de disponibilidade, acesso, utilização e estabilidade Autor: Agnello, Waldir Primeiro orientador: Pinto, Luiz Fernando Rodrigues Abstract: This dissertation investigates the synergistic contribution between digital technologies and public policies for the promotion of Food and Nutritional Security (SAN, in Portuguese) in the city of São Paulo, analyzed under the dimensions of availability, access, utilization, and stability. Methodologically, the research applies a qualitative single-case study, grounded in the triangulation of documentary data and semi-structured interviews with seven multisectoral experts, whose accounts underwent Content Analysis. The results confirm that food insecurity in the São Paulo metropolis does not stem from productive scarcity, but from bottlenecks in economic and logistical access, marked by profound inequality and the presence of food deserts. Innovative digital solutions, such as foodtechs and precision urban agriculture, act promisingly in reducing waste and optimizing logistics in supply chains. However, the research reveals that the adoption of these technologies without proper mitigation aggravates digital exclusion in the peripheries. In the dimensions of utilization and stability, the chronic underfunding of social organizations (cozinhas solidárias) and the harmful political-administrative discontinuity stand out, treating food guidelines as policies of transitional governments rather than of the State. The research concludes that the consolidation of São Paulo as a genuine Smart and Sustainable City will only promote food justice if technological advancement overcomes mere digital determinism and is rigorously coupled with perennial structural policies, income transfer programs, macroeconomic incentives, and long-term collaborative governance.

Título: Vantagens ambientais, econômicas e sociais da transformação de um caminhão de coleta de resíduos sólidos movido a diesel para biometano Autor: Santos, Leonardo Nascimento Silva Primeiro orientador: Pinto, Luiz Fernando Rodrigues Abstract: The decarbonization of heavy road transport is one of the main challenges of the energy transition and the development of smart and sustainable cities. In this context, biomethane produced from municipal solid waste has the potential to reduce atmospheric emissions, promote the circular economy, and enhance urban sustainability. This research aimed to evaluate the environmental, economic, and social advantages of transforming a municipal solid waste collection truck, originally powered by diesel, to use biomethane from a landfill in the city of São Paulo. A qualitative approach with quantitative triangulation was adopted, structured as a single case study and complemented by a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA protocol. The analytical model integrated the environmental, economic, and social dimensions from the perspective of the circular economy. The study included operational monitoring of the vehicle for twelve months, emissions analysis using the Well-to-Wheel (WTW) method, economic evaluation through Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and analysis of the social impacts associated with renewable fuel. The results demonstrated that biomethane offers superior environmental performance compared to diesel, with the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 93.7% in the complete fuel cycle, in addition to reductions of approximately 89% in nitrogen oxide emissions and 85% in particulate matter. Economically, the viability of vehicle conversion was verified, with lower operating costs and a more favorable return on investment. Socially, a potential contribution to improving air quality, reducing impacts on public health, strengthening the biomethane production chain, and generating jobs associated with the circular economy was observed. It is concluded that the use of biomethane in waste collection trucks constitutes a technically viable, economically competitive, and environmentally effective alternative, contributing to the sustainable management of urban waste, the decarbonization of heavy transport, and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
