O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar o impacto do programa estadual Pacto pela Vida sobre as taxas de homicídio do Estado de Pernambuco. Implementado pelo governo do estado em 2007, o referido programa visa a redução dos níveis de violência no estado e tem foco específico as taxas de homicídio. A pesquisa utiliza Controles Sintéticos para obter contrafactuais para a taxa de homicídio do Estado e seus resultados indicam que o Pacto pela Vida foi bem sucedido em seu objetivo de redução da taxa de homicídio no período 2007-2014, mas deixa de ser eficaz nesta tarefa a partir de então.

Historic urban sites are set by cultural and social diversities, generating multiple activities and use and access to these sites should be available to all people including those with disabilities. Taking into consideration that using the same methodology that was used in different historic sites researches with positive results facilitates replication, we aimed to develop methodological procedures that identify conditions of physical accessibility in open public spaces and access to public buildings in historic urban sites to support proposals about design requirements for improvements to the problems diagnosed and control inadequacies of the physical environment. The study methods and techniques from different areas of knowledge culminated in a proposal built with an emphasis on user participation that could be applied with low cost and in relatively short period of time.

A b s t r a c t : Online social networks have played a key role in the struggle for rights and for more sustainable, less unequal cities. In Brazil, this movement is relatively recent, and has tended to increase in the face of threats or crises that might adversely affect the rights, welfare or life of a city's residents, or the public interest. The Movimento Ocupe Estelita fights against the interests of capital, symbolised by the Projeto Novo Recife, a project destined for the Cais Estelita. The movement started in 2012 and shows signs of resistance and resilience. This article aims to identify the theoretical and empirical basis of this resilience. The research was based on participatory online and offline observation and interviews at the encampment, with a chronology of the occupation process and subsequent campaigns of resistance and struggle. Finally, the movement's capacity to reinvent itself and grow stronger despite continual disputes is analysed. K e y w o r d s
