1. Rio De Janeiro's Framework Rio without make-up The subjective safety perception of low-middle class and upper-high class due to police and surveillance devises Student: Sara Mohebbi Student number: 3870251 Supervisor: Dr. I. van Liempt Institution: University of Utrecht Date: 17-01-2014 Acknowledgement Generally, writing a thesis gives better writing skills and theoretical knowledge, and finishing a thesis brings a degree certificate. However, this thesis brought me much more than the above. It gave me new insights on the world we are living in, a world led by corruption, capitalism and violation of human rights, but also insights on humanity, honesty and equality. I would not have learned these important life lessons without the help and support of the people around me, of which only a few are mentioned in this acknowledgment. First of all, I sincerely would like to express my gratitude to my respondents who enabled this research in the first place. Furthermore, my great thanks go out to my Brazilian friends who brought me into a new world and showed me the true face of Rio de Janeiro In particular Rafael Puetter, Aline Cavalcanti and Sabrina Magalhães, thank you for your willingness and openness to talk about every aspect of your lives, it has truly inspired me. I greatly acknowledge the supervision, patience and feedback provided by Dr. Ilse van Liempt, Junior Assistant Professor in Human Geography and Planning. Thank you Ilse, for your worthy guidance along the road, and for finding the time to guide me through my writing. Also, I want to thank my family and friends, who have supported me during every day and have always believed in me. In particular, Imke de Jong, thank you for sharing your creative illustration skills. And Lotte Rooijendijk for helping me out with the English grammar. Abstract Despite the worrisome high crime rates of Rio de Janeiro it will host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, These rates are generally associated with the low -middle class residents, among whom crimes appears to develop most. Even though Rio de Janeiro is characterised by the spatial structure of the divided city, upper-high class residential areas are also influenced by this crime. Therefore, the government has the task to transform the city into a safer city by diminishing crime rates. This is done via two safety measures, namely increasing the number of police officers and surveillance devises within urban public spaces. As the government mainly focuses on decreasing the crime statistics, this research will study the subjective safety perception of low-middle class residents and upper-high class residents related to these two safety measures. This research assembled information about safety feelings through ethnographic method. The concept of safety was leading. Results showed that the concept of safety, of the low-middle class residents and upper-high class residents, is perceived in different ways. Whilst the first wishes for basic needs, the second protects themselves through self- protecting in fear of crime. The outcomes of safety perceptions directly linked to the increase of police officers is negatively growing, since all citizens fear police due to the lacking trust within its system, which is also shown in the safety perception of surveillance devises. These results confirmed past studies partly, showing how safety perceptions are indicated.

However, as the city deals with high violent crime rates within urban public space (German, 2010), the IOC which is the non-profit organization of the Olympic Games, emphasizes the insecurity issues within Rio de Janeiro. A study of Cardia (2002) shows that violence and crime in South America are historically associated with poverty in urban areas and low-middle class citizens. Because of the poverty, people make money out of robbery, theft, and drug trafficking and created a local economy in their neighbourhoods. In the case of Rio de Janeiro this goes back to the 1970s when economic migrants came to the city without housing and transportation provisions. This triggered the creation of self-made illegal settlements in the unmanaged part of the formal city, outside of the regulated safety of urban services, in neighbourhoods that are also known as ‘favelas’ (Martin, 2012). Through the expansion of the local economy, drug gangs took control over the favelas, which caused armed battles among drug gangs, many times out of their controlling neighbourhoods. This brings the association of violence with favelas and its low-middle class residents: 'favelados'. Hosting mega-events is important for Brazil’s government to develop its country politically and economically (Darnell, 2012), as it has developed as a major player within the economic world, due to its statis of the fifth-largest economy of the world and because of the economic, trade and technological developments within the country (Bernal-Meza, & Christensen, 2013).

Often called “Cidade Maravilhosa” (The Marvellous City), Rio de Janeiro is notorious for its brea- thtaking scenery and location, nestled between lush-green mountains and crystal clear seas. These attributes were decisive for Rio to be awarded by UNESCO two titles that are the first of their kind in history: World Heritage Site for Urban Landscapes, and World Capital of Architecture, this last one in partnership with the International Union of Architects (UIA). Capital of Brazil until 1960, Rio is one of the most culturally and economically prominent cities in the country, featuring some of its most famous tourist attractions such as Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain), Corcovado (Christ the Redeemer statue), and the iconic beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema.

  • PROJETO VIÁRIO PARA MELHORIA DA MOBILIDADE INTERNA DE SÃO CONRADO Objetivo Elaborado Por Arquitetos E Engenheiros Da AMASCO E
    PROJETO VIÁRIO PARA MELHORIA DA MOBILIDADE INTERNA DE SÃO CONRADO Objetivo Elaborado por arquitetos e engenheiros da AMASCO e ofertado às autoridades municipais, esse estudo visa melhorar a mobilidade interna do bairro de São Conrado em duas regiões críticas: o entorno do Hotel Nacional e o entorno da Praça São Conrado. Com isso, haverá uma diminuição drástica da circulação interna de veículos rumo à Barra da Tijuca e o término do engarrafamento na Autoestrada Lagoa-Barra nas proximidades do retorno próximo ao posto Shell e supermercado Zona Sul. Situação atual do entorno do Hotel Nacional (Área 1) Os veículos com destino à Barra da Tijuca, que chegam a São Conrado através da Av. Niemeyer, prejudicam drasticamente a mobilidade interna do bairro ao serem obrigados a seguir até a imediação do Supermercado SuperMarket, entrando em seguida na Av. Aquarela do Brasil, Av. Almirante Álvaro Alberto, Rua Povina Cavalcanti (ao lado do shopping Fashion Mall), Rua Engenheiro Amandino de Carvalho — ruas que não possuem estrutura para receber tamanho fluxo —, até a chegada à praia para continuação do percurso (FOTO 1). Anteriormente, esse fluxo passava embaixo do Hotel Nacional e seguia o mesmo percurso engarrafado a partir da Av. Álvaro Alberto até o final da Rua Engenheiro Amandino de Carvalho (FOTO 2). Proposta para o entorno do Hotel Nacional (Área 1) Vindo do Leblon através da Av. Niemeyer, os veículos seguirão até o platô sobre o canal da Av. Aquarela do Brasil (FOTO 3), virarão para a esquerda na Av. Aquarela do Brasil e retornarão diretamente para a praia. No entroncamento da praia rumarão para a direita através de uma pequena conexão a ser criada ao lado do Hotel Royal Tulip (FOTO 4).

  • Celebrating 25 Years at Age 25, Galeria Nara Roesler Inaugurates Branch in Rio with a New Show by Marcos Chaves
    CELEBRATING 25 YEARS AT AGE 25, GALERIA NARA ROESLER INAUGURATES BRANCH IN RIO WITH A NEW SHOW BY MARCOS CHAVES The Rio-based artist has created an installation inspired by the city’s open air gyms A landmark in the Brazilian fine arts market and ranking among the country’s top five art galleries, Galeria Nara Roesler, based in São Paulo, is inaugurating a branch in Rio de Janeiro in the first week of August. Representing roughly 40 renowned national and international artists of such as Vik Muniz, Tomie Ohtake, Paulo Bruscky, Brígida Baltar, Julio Le Parc, Isaac Julien and Antonio Dias, the company, headed by the Pernambuco state native Nara Roesler, will occupy a 200 m² house on Redentor Street in the Ipanema district. The architect and urban planner Marta Bogéa, who holds a Master’s in Communication and Semiotics, signs the project. The venue will open with a previously unseen show by the award-winning local artist Marcos Chaves. The gallery Upon opening the doors of its gallery in São Paulo, in 1989, Nara shook up the market with a set of innovative proposals: offering courses to collectors and interested parties; creating an exclusive newspaper featuring reference contents for research on Brazilian art; and most importantly, establishing a closer connection between Brazil and the leading names in the contemporary Latin American scene. In 2004, the patron innovated again by inaugurating Roesler Hotel, a series of curated shows featuring artworks exchanged with international galleries and cultural institutions, that were not necessarily for sale. As a result, the gallery became a space for reflection, transcending its merely commercial role.
