Autor(es): Matos, Márcia Filgueiras Rebelo de Primeiro Orientador: Caldas, Alcides dos Santos Abstract: Traditional foods are immersed in the culture of the people and in the specific genetic heritage of the region of origin, thus contributing to the construction of the food landscape. The food landscape synthesizes the physical, social, and cultural dimensions of a locality, representing the nexus between people-food-place and is therefore constantly changing. With a view to preserving traditional foods, food knowledge and practices have been registered as intangible cultural heritage at the national and international levels. In industrial property, Geographical Indication (GI) is the most appropriate type of registration for this type of safeguard. This thesis is justified by the evident need to establish scientific bases that promote the recognition of culinary heritage and the importance of its protection through GI, which is unprecedented in the association of Gastronomy with Geography. Thus, the objective of this study is to promote the construction of the food landscape associated with GI, based on elements that portray the dialectical relationship between tradition and innovation in the process of protecting culinary heritage. This is a descriptive and exploratory study, in which Brazilian and Galician GIs were analyzed, relating them to gastronomy. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used, and the work was organized into three stages: bibliographic and documentary surveys; case studies; and data analysis. Methodological resources included index cards, direct observation, audio and video recordings, field diaries, questionnaires, and interviews. To analyze the results, all data obtained were evaluated descriptively and analytically, applying hermeneutic-dialectical methods, discourse analysis, and mathematical models, which culminated in a classification tree. As a final result, the food landscape associated with GI was constructed and summarized through the development of a practical method, which points to integrated action plans for strengthening culinary heritage. It was established that the factors of originality (territoriality, traditionality, typicality, communality, and co-creation) are the constituent elements of this landscape. In Brazil, the foodscape associated with GI was a topic that was little known or recognized by the social groups interviewed, while in Spain, there was progress in its understanding by the participants, confirmed by the presence of the landscape (in an increasingly representative form) in European legislation dealing with GI. It should be noted that the strong support that the Control Body offers to Spanish GIs can serve as a model for other countries to better support the creation and maintenance of legitimate GIs in their territories. Finally, it is hoped that this thesis will contribute to the protection of more culinary heritage, so that the associated tradition of communal dining will endure and its continued existence will be celebrated, especially by producers, who are the true guardians of traditionally passed-down knowledge and practices.

Autor(es): Silva, Emilson Batista da Primeiro Orientador: Torres, Antonio Puentes Abstract: The ongoing climate changes on our planet, whether natural or anthropogenic, directly impact the water supply for populations, especially the most disadvantaged, who face problems arising from scarcity and hydrological flooding. Therefore, it is increasingly necessary to undertake integrated studies on the processes of the hydrological cycle, as they guide the forces responsible for the spatialization of water on the planet and thus influence the dynamics of society's appropriation of space. Thus, the research aimed to analyze how hydrological elements can contribute to geosystemic studies in river basins. To this end, a case study was conducted, focusing on the Cachoeira River Basin (BHRC), located in the South and Southwest of Bahia, in the Eastern Basin and in the Eastern RPGA, under No. VII, encompassing 13 municipalities and a population of 542,692 inhabitants. In addition to using the geosystemic approach, the characterization of the study area was carried out using the prisms of the Geoenvironmental Complex and Advanced Experimental Hydrology (HAE), in the latter case, with the use of historical series of rainfall, elevation and flow. The geosystems were identified through field observations, a study of the longitudinal profile of the main river, analysis of cartographic material and CBERS-4A images, and correlations with other information gathered during the research. Thus, the geosystems of Alto Cachoeira (GEO1), Médio Cachoeira (GEO2), and Baixo Cachoeira (GEO3) were identified, as well as their constituent geofacies. The data revealed two historical models of spatial appropriation in the basin: extensive livestock farming predominated in the west, where social interventions were more prominent, and cocoa cultivation in the east, where cultivation under the forest contributed to the relative preservation of the forest. Significant landscape changes were observed in the basin, affecting its systemic dynamics. From this perspective, deforestation, sewage discharge into rivers, and irregular riverbank occupation, among other factors, have contributed to the recurring flood and drought events in the Middle and Lower Cachoeira Rivers, causing serious problems for the local population. Floods occurred in 48% of the years in the sampled historical series, while droughts occurred in 80% of them. Based on Bahian regulations, the data showed that the BHRC supplies only 11% of the water demand of the population covered by the basin. Lithological insubordination was also observed, as the drainage density (Dd = 0.63) and hydrographic density (Dh = 0.39) showed low values, failing to reflect the characteristics of the basement. In Alto Cachoeira, Dd and Dh presented lower values, when compared to Médio Cachoeira and Baixo Cachoeira, demonstrating that in Alto Cachoeira there is a greater contribution of vegetation to water infiltration, when rainfall occurs. In some geofacies of the three delimited geosystems, a certain balance between ecological potential and biological exploitation was observed, indicating fewer interventions resulting from the spatial appropriation model established in the basin. Furthermore, it was found that the hydrological elements that presented the greatest potential for research in river basins, from a geosystemic perspective, were drainage density and hydrographic density, as they demonstrated more qualified responses to the demands of the identified geosystems.

These territories are marked by specific relationships of belonging, identity, and collective land use. This study aims to understand the territorial networks and the socioeconomic and cultural dynamics of the Quilombola family farmers of the Sisal-BA Identity Territory and how the influence of the regional profile of rural production and agrarian issues is revealed in these traditional territories.For this understanding, it was necessary to: analyze the land structure of the Identity Territory of Sisal, relating it to agricultural production in these municipalities; to understand the importance of family-based agricultural production for the quilombola communities and to what extent the limitation of access to land can promote the search for complementary local activities or in other municipalities and states in Brazil by the quilombolas; to comprehend the challenges and possibilities of these communities, highlighting the movements and social organizations that work on strengthening family agriculture and in seeking strategies to improve production in the field, as well as the networks of solidarity and social relationships present in these territories; and to promote thematic workshops for the construction of social maps of the quilombola communities, recording the challenges and possibilities of these traditional territories. The approach is made from the situations of the present time and the local scale, but without disregarding the broader scales. The methodology used was field research, with participant observation and semi-structured interviews, in which it was identified how families organize themselves to carry out different activities, such as planting and harvesting various products (cassava, corn, beans, among others) and the significance of this production for these individuals and the maintenance of their traditions, in the face of a scenario of extreme land concentration. Thematic workshops were also conducted in all communities participating in the research to map, based on the new social mapping, the quilombola communities recognized by FCP in the Sisal Territory. The research aimed to utilize socio-spatial phenomena as mediation instruments to understand the studied phenomena in their real existence, referring to the strategies for social reproduction of peasantry, in the conflict of class struggle and the strategies for confronting agrarian issues through family-based agricultural production and complementary activities in these small territories. The analysis of the agrarian issue was essential for interpreting the social, cultural, and political references of these territories.

Autor(es): Matos, Daiana de Andrade Primeiro Orientador: Tomasoni, Marco Antonio Abstract: This thesis proposes an investigation of the Una River Basin, located in Bahia, through the lived experiences of the people who inhabit it, aiming to understand how these situated experiences contribute to the construction of the concept of a lived basin. To achieve this goal, a fieldwork methodology was developed to reveal the experiential dimension of the hydrographic basin.This is a qualitative research grounded in phenomenology as its methodological approach. It investigates, describes, and interprets how the experience of place influences the construction of the concept in question. The methodological path was organized into six interconnected stages: construction of the theoretical framework, data collection, fieldwork, systematization of information, writing, and evaluation of results.One of the chapters presents fieldwork as an encounter between the researcher, subjects, places, and landscapes. The proposed methodology emphasizes attentive, ethical, and sensitive listening, enabling an understanding of the basin through its everyday lived experiences. In another chapter, we traverse the Una River Basin guided by the narratives of its inhabitants. This journey involved the participation of 180 people — both adults and children — whose contributions reveal the presence of geographicity in the naming of landforms, meteorological observations, the reading of water pathways, the organization of crops, and the collective memory of places. This process culminated in the development of a glossary of the lived basin — a translational effort to highlight the unique ways of explaining the lived world.In the final section, the focus shifts to children. Their words, drawings, and gestures reveal powerful ways of understanding space, especially rivers, which are portrayed as living characters in their stories. These expressions illustrate the strength of a geographic knowledge constructed through movement, attentive observation, and the freedom to imagine.In summary, the lived hydrographic basin is not limited to a physical delineation or an isolated element of nature. It is a web of experiences where everything is connected: rivers, winds, plants, soils, animals, people, memories, and meanings. The Lived Basin, by gathering multiple voices and worldviews, can enrich environmental analyses and strengthen decision-making processes. In this context, scientific knowledge can offer both support and scale to this lived wisdom, broadening the ways in which we read and interpret the world. Recognizing the basin as lived reaffirms that geographic knowledge is not confined to technique or concept: it is rooted in experience, in the body that inhabits, in the attentive listening to place, and in the ability to assign meaning to landscapes.
