Abstract In effectively confronting the Covid-19 pandemic, it is necessary to complement the contributions of Biomedical Sciences to those offered by the Human Sciences. The theoretical foundations derived from the treatment of the interaction of the infectious agent with the host, primates in formatting the guidelines adopted by the World Health Organization, faced strong opposition from government officials in countries such as Brazil, giving rise to critical pronouncements by researchers in the biomedical sciences in space offered by important scientific journals. Despite being fruitful and strategic in nature, we feel encouraged to consider the objective limits of such investiture, a direct reflection of the lack of dialogue with the Human Sciences, in the field of politics and, mainly, of urbanism. Taking as a starting point the unfolding of the phenomenon in Brazil, specifically in the metropolis of Fortaleza-Ceará, we will show how the "denial" posture is inserted in a broader context, encompassing both a representative political framework of a federative government and including postures of insurgency of the Local Governments (of the federative states) in relation to the Central Government as social and economic aspects that characterize a westernized country to establish impactful filtering genre in the implementation of policies of ordering and control of the singular space. In these terms, the drastic expansion of Covid-19 in Brazil denotes a paradoxical picture to represent: a political context of resistance by Local Governments to minimize the controversial actions and attitudes of the Central Government, specifically the creation of the Forum of Governors in the Northeast to guarantee incorporation WHO international guidelines; a trajectory of unequal and perverse modernization that corroborates the indication of a high number of cases and, mainly, deaths in precarious urbanization areas of cities such as Fortaleza, establishing the periphery as the territory of death, registered in areas with a high social vulnerability index of negatively impact the effective implementation of the social isolation policy.

Resumo Dos banhos de mar aos esportes nas zonas de praia e no mar objetiva apreender a valorização sociocultural dos espaços litorâneos nos trópicos. Pautados, inicialmente, em práticas marítimas modernas mais convencionais como os Banhos de mar e os Banhos de Sol, respectivamente de caráter terapêutico e recreativo, a valorização converge, na contemporaneidade, para práticas de caráter esportivo, aquáticas e náuticas, com ênfase maior dada ao kitesurf. Metodologicamente, utiliza-se de banco de dados e trabalhos de campo realizados pelo Grupo de Pesquisa da Urbanização Litorânea e Lazer, do Laboratório de Planejamento Urbano e Regional da Universidade Federal do Ceará. A compreensão é multescalar e os pressupostos teóricos associam-se a geografia urbana e dos lazeres. Como desdobramentos principais, apontam-se, de um lado, os esportes náuticos, sobretudo o Kitesurfe, como a mais nova variável de incorporação e modernização da praia nos trópicos e, de outro, a consistituição de fenômeno mundial materializado em diversos contextos, como o do Nordeste brasileiro e, mais especificamente, do litoral cearense. Pautados inicialmente Sol recreativo converge contemporaneidade esportivo náuticas kitesurf Metodologicamente utilizase utiliza se Lazer Ceará associamse associam lazeres principais apontamse, apontamse apontam se, apontam-se lado náuticos Kitesurfe outro contextos especificamente cearense

Abstract This article aims to understand the sociocultural appreciation of coastal spaces in the tropics from the perspective of conventional modern maritime practices. Starting with therapeutic and recreational activities on the beaches and sea areas, such as Sea Baths and Sun Bathing, this study includes an analysis of contemporary sporting, aquatic and nautical recreation, with aspecific emphasis on kitesurfing. The methodological approach uses a database and fieldwork carried out by the Coastal and Leisure Urbanization Research Group of the Urban and Regional Planning Laboratory of the Federal University of Ceará. The understanding is multiscalar, and the theoretical assumptions are associated with urban geography and leisure. The two main developments are first, nautical sports, especially kitesurfing, which is the newest variable for the incorporation and modernization of the beach in the tropics. The second is the formation of a global phenomenon materialized significantly in different contexts, such as the Northeast of Brazil and the coast of Ceará, in particular. practices areas Bathing sporting recreation kitesurfing Ceará multiscalar leisure first sports contexts particular

O presente estudo trata da vulnerabilidade ambiental, social e socioambiental do baixo curso da bacia hidrográfica do rio Cocó, em Fortaleza-CE. A metodologia consistiu na utilização dos Sistemas de Informações Geográficas para elaboração e integração dos mapas de geologia, geomorfologia, pedologia, cobertura vegetal, uso e infraestrutura urbana e dados sociais e econômicos, a fim de se obter a vulnerabilidade natural, ambiental, social e por fim, a socioambiental. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os ambientes de maior vulnerabilidade ambiental coexistem com os de maior vulnerabilidade social, ampliando os problemas socioambientais daqueles espaços. O mapeamento da vulnerabilidade visa contribuir para o planejamento urbano-ambiental do baixo curso da bacia e neste sentido os Sistemas de Geoinformação foram fundamentais para a sua espacialização.

The following study is about the vulnerability environmental, social and socio environmental of down progress of Coco river's watershed, at Fortaleza-CE. The methodology has been based in the use of Geographic Information Systems to the preparation and integration of geology maps, geomorphology, vegetation, vegetation, urban infrastructure and economic and social information with the view to get the natural vulnerability, environmental, social and finally the socio environmental. The results indicate that the environments of high environmental vulnerability coexist with the high social vulnerability, expanding the socio environmentals problems of those spaces. The vulnerability mapping aims to contribute to the urban-environmental planning of watershed down progress and this sense the Geoinformation System has been primordial to itself spatialization.

As modernas práticas marítimas, em especial o veraneio, representam novas possibilidades de aproximação da sociedade com o mar, destacando o espaço litorâneo como prioritário para o lazer e moradia das populações das grandes aglomerações urbanas. Desta forma, a urbanização torna-se processo dialeticamente relacionado à disseminação da maritimidade moderna. Para compreender este processo, tomar-se-á como estudo de caso a expansão do veraneio marítimo em direção ao espaço litorâneo de Aquiraz. O cerne é entender a influência da Metrópole na diluição do veraneio marítimo no espaço revelado como litoral, em destaque as zonas de praia, inscritas ao tecido urbano da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza. Os veranistas, os empreendedores imobiliários, o poder público municipal e estadual são sujeitos sociais envolvidos no processo gerador de uma morfologia urbana descontínua, caracterizada por parcelamentos urbanos e por aglomerados de segundas residências. Evidencia-se, nestes termos, a valorização dos espaços litorâneos como condicionante para a expansão da Metrópole.

The modern maritime practices, especially the summer vacations, represent new possibilities to come near the society of the sea, highlighting the coastal area a priority for leisure and living of the populations of major cities. This way, the growth urbanization process becomes a dialectically linked to the spread of modern maritimidade. To understand this process, will be study the case of expansion of the summer sea toward the coastal area of Aquiraz The point is to understand the influence of Metropolis in the dilution of the summer vacations sea in the space perceived as the coastline, highlights the areas of beach, entered the urban space of the metropolitan region of Fortaleza. People who summer vacation, the real estate business, and the public power municipal and state social subjects are involved in the process of creating an urban morphology discontinuous, characterized by urban division's city and by clusters of second homes. There is, in these terms, to increase the value of coastal areas as condition to the expansion of the Metropolis.
