“…Luciano Torres TRICÁRICO; Thaís GARCIA; Carlos Alberto TOMELIN; Diva de Mello ROSSINI Vitalidade urbana (JACOBS, 2011) é também "animação" que serviços e comércios vicinais condicionam no espaço público de praças. Tais serviços e comércios amparam restauração e compras para turistas, corroborando-se o valor socioeconômico da regeneração urbana turística (CARLOS, 2001;CRUZ, 2002;FREYTAG;BAUDER, 2018;KARIMI, 2015;KOSTOPOULOU, 2013;LOSASSO, 2015;MARCÚS et al, 2019;McCORMICK et al, 2013;MULLINS, 1991;PEREIRA, 2015), de modo que se pode inferir que urbanização turística, quando oferece situações socioeconômicas de serviços e comércios, também contribui para a urbanização destinada a cidadãos, porque promove, concomitantemente, vitalidade urbana.…”

“…A regeneração urbana pode alcançar níveis locais, nacionais e até internacionais (sobretudo com a atividade turística), sendo considerada fundamental para governança nas transformações urbanas (LOSASSO, 2015). Trata-se de políticas abrangentes, com o intuito da melhoria espacial e, em especial, da melhoria social (IZADI et al, 2018;COCHRANE, 2007;TALLON, 2013), destacando-se o valor socioeconômico (KOSTOPOULOU, 2013) e incentivo ao setor privado (KARIMI, 2015). Nesse sentido, quando da competição econômica em nível internacional, a regeneração urbana é condição para atração de mais turistas, particularmente estrangeiros (RICHARDS, 2014).…”

A pesquisa teve como temas: regeneração urbana, urbanização turística e espaço público; o objeto da pesquisa se constituiu nas praças XV e Mauá, do destino turístico urbano da cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ, Brasil). O objetivo da pesquisa foi demonstrar o papel da sintaxe do espaço como atributo para a regeneração urbana turística, diante da discussão predominantemente pautada pela crítica socioeconômica dentro dos temas envolvidos. Para tanto, adotaram-se, como procedimentos metodológicos: revisão bibliográfica a partir de métrica bibliográfica acerca do tema e objeto de pesquisa, análise documental e levantamentos do uso do espaço ao se tomar o instrumental da Teoria da Sintaxe Espacial como método de abordagem dos dados coletados. Os resultados demonstraram que a Teoria da Sintaxe Espacial pode ser contributiva à teoria lefebvriana da produção do espaço, ao mesmo tempo que a teoria da produção do espaço, em sua vertente de “espaço percebido”, pode se servir da Teoria da Sintaxe Espacial como instrumentalidade. Aponta-se a necessidade de inserção das categorias lefebvrianas da produção do espaço diante de uma análise essencialmente sintática do espaço ou uma análise essencialmente socioeconômica do território turístico; parece que seria uma simplificação ou um reducionismo apontar apenas atributos espaciais ou apenas atributos sociais (socioeconômicos, na maioria das vezes) como responsáveis pelo desempenho do espaço público de praças em destinos turísticos urbanos.

“…Iranian ESP learners basically receive most of their language input through textbooks and the language practice which takes place in the classroom. Most of the ESP teachers consider textbooks as the foundation for the content of the lessons (Karimi, Sadeghi, Behnam Nia, Esmaeeli Salumahaleh, Mirzaei, & Farokhzadi, 2013). ESP in Iran is a novel area and ruled by traditional ways of teaching, consequently many significant areas including ESP teachers' education have been ignored or even untouched scientifically which might be the effect of local, cultural and educational policies (Ghanbari & Eslami Rasekh, 2012).English instructors teaching ESP do not have any special training or instruction before being required to teach those ESP courses (Sherkatolabbasi& Mahdavi-Zafarghandi, 2012).…”

Admittedly, ESP courses are mainly designed to equip the students with the language skills which will allow them to function in the target situation or work domain. Realizing the need for more investigation, the present research examined problems of the ESP program in Iran focusing on ESP teachers' and learners' perception, with particular reference to Islamic Azad University Najafabad Branch. To fulfill the purposes of the study, 102 Iranian ESP learners (male and female) majoring in computer engineering, electronic engineering, and civil engineering, BSc level from Islamic Azad University of Najafabad participated in the study. The main instruments which were found appropriate for the purposes of the present research was a questionnaire consisting of some items related to ESP learners' needs, attitudes. The results of the study suggest that students' internal motivation to learn English can be the outcome of an ESP program in which learners' needs, nature of students' majors and their professional needs are the focus of attention.
