The complexity of today´s world reflects and is reflected on society´s lifestyle, space and productive structure, the economy, and in technological processes. In this perspective, the essence of a social glance should not focus exclusively in humanities, but in a new type of engineering of cooperation networks. The identification and modeling of process semantics for cooperation networks should, therefore, seek a kind of engineering focused on the problem and not on the activity or even the solution, as advocated the classical methodologies. The humankind needs require an interoperability between the institutions and subjects and also to the orientation and effectiveness to the results. The engineering of requirements attend as an alternative approach to the identification and modeling of process semantics for cooperation networks and receives the contribution of classic authors of cooperation networks such as Nash (1950a,b), social science, such as Marx, Rousseau, Angel, Habermas (1984), of psychology, known Maslow (1954, 1963); McClelland (1961) of engineering systems, represented by Ramammorthy (2000) and Gattaz Sobrinho (2000). This framework anchors the construction theory, extending and including new variables in the engineering approach, firstly the concept of mankind and society. Engineering and requirements are the theory-reference categories of the proposed approach and research of complexity, inclusion, uniqueness, complexity management which are conceptual categories.
The development of mankind is undoubtedly a succession of problems and solutions. Regarding health, control and treatment of endemic diseases and other illness represent the effort of mankind in the pursuit of well-being and greater longevity. The social organization appears as an element of contemporary society and as a shared solution of health problems. A health policy is a complex process that involves many factors, public and private. Initially, it is sought to assist the population of a given area or region. This study aims to demonstrate the (non) use of the principles of processes in conducting a public health policy. Hence, we present the Health Center Jardim Boa Esperança and the effort to build new facilities and to improve the quality of assistance to the people of its surroundings. However, the context shows that the exclusion or lack of commitment of a factor can slow down the process. The methodology used was the action research, from a process modeling in evidence. The comparison of the process principles of reality was crucial to include new factor and implementation of the reform and improvement in the quality of assistance to the population can be realized.
Urbanism, as an intellectual movement, born from the confrontation of the urban problems that have gained visibility from the Industrial Revolution, has had as main object models development, theories and solutions that would make conceptions of planned cities. In specific moments of this trajectory, certain characters plan not only to plan a city, but rather a set of cities, i.e., the region. The works of the planners Ebenezer Howard, Patrick Geddes and Le Corbusier, along with the 1933 Athens Charter have established theoretical and conceptual bases for regional planning. Otherwise, in the epistemology of Milton Santos there is the basis of the contemporary geography with a rich reflection on the space, the region and man's interaction with his environment. This article briefly aims to establish a link between these timeless works and contribute to the discussion on the future of regional planning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
