The study aims to analyze how students attending evening high school perceive the geographical space in which they are embedded, taking into account their daily experiences between home, work, and school. The research is grounded in contributions from phenomenology and critical geography, seeking to understand the socio- spatial perceptions constructed by students based on their experiences in urban space. Methodologically, semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with the students, in which their daily routines, movements through the city, and experiences related to study and work were discussed. The results indicate that the daily experiences of these young people contribute to the construction of different perceptions of the urban spaces they frequent. Thus, the study highlights the importance of considering the experiences of night school students in understanding the relationships between youth, daily life, and geographic space. 2026-03-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/49556 Title: Capitalismo de plataforma e uberização do trabalho em uma perspectiva de raça na cidade de Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais, Brasil Abstract: This Undergraduate Thesis aims to analyze the manifestations of platform capitalism and the uberization of labor based on the reality of the municipality of Ituiutaba (MG), considering the relationships between labor and race. The research was guided by the historical-dialectical materialist method and used as methodological procedures the application of questionnaires and direct observation with 20 workers from the taxi and motorcycle taxi sector. The results indicate that, although Ituiutaba (MG) does not present a consolidated presence of digital platforms based on algorithms and intensive data use, the investigated sector exhibits characteristics associated with uberization, such as informality, absence of labor rights, flexible working hours, and the transfer of activity-related risks to workers. It was also observed the predominance of Black and mixed-race workers, highlighting the persistence of racial inequalities in the labor market. It is concluded that the case of Ituiutaba expresses a particular form of territorialization of uberization, marked by the coexistence between traditional services and new forms of intermediation, revealing the historical persistence of labor precarization under new dynamics. 2026-03-16T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/49431 Title: Práticas sustentáveis na agricultura familiar em Canápolis, MG Abstract: ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the sustainable practices adopted in family farming in the municipality of Canápolis, MG, with an emphasis on soil management techniques. The research focuses on identifying the most common solutions used by family farmers, the challenges faced, and the opportunities to expand the implementation of these practices, with the objective of promoting soil protection, improving food security, and contributing to sustainable rural development. The methodology was conducted using a qualitative and quantitative approach, employing semi-structured interviews with 6 family farmers from the municipality of Canápolis, one of whom also works as an agricultural technician, which allowed for a privileged view of the difficulties and potential of technical assistance in the region. Participants were selected by "snowball" sampling, and the interviews addressed the practices adopted, which include no till farming, crop rotation, and organic fertilization. After transcription, the content of the conversations was analyzed based on the content analysis technique. The information gathered was then complemented with data from the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and the Sustainable Development Index of Cities (IDSC). The results show that practices such as no-till farming, crop rotation, and organic fertilization reduce erosion and improve soil quality. However, their expansion is limited by a lack of technical assistance, dependence on external inputs, financial constraints, and resistance from farmers. The technician interviewed confirmed that resistance to change and insufficient training are the main obstacles. Data from the IDSC reinforce this scenario, indicating that Canápolis has a low level of sustainable development (48.61). Complementary analysis of the IDSC indicators points to weaknesses, especially in dimensions related to sustainable agriculture and responsible consumption, in line with SDGs 2 and 12. It is concluded that increased government support for family farming is fundamental, through effective public policies such as accessible credit lines, the creation of a municipal program for continuous technical assistance, and a technical training program aligned with the SDGs, to promote the widespread adoption of sustainable practices. These measures are essential to guarantee soil protection, food security, and sustainable development in the municipality of Canápolis, MG. Keywords: sustainable practices, soil protection, family farming, Canápolis MG. 2026-03-26T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/49063 Title: Reflexões sobre as contribuições do estágio para a formação docente em Geografia. Abstract: This article, titled “Reflections on the contributions of the teaching internship to Geography teacher trainings submitted as a requirement for the completion of the Geography Licentiate degree program at the Federal University of Uberlândia (Pontal Campus) aims to reflect on the contributions of Internships III and IV to teacher training, based on experiences gained in public schools in the municipality of Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais. The methodology adopted involved a literature review to provide a theoretical basis for the accounts and themes addressed, while also maintaining a descriptive and reflective approach that encompassed classroom observation, the planning and execution of teaching practice (leading classes), and the implementation of didactic projects. Preliminary results highlight the importance of the internship as a fundamental stage in developing the competencies and skills required for classroom teaching. Furthermore, it represents a timely opportunity for reflecting on the relationship between theory and practice within the context of constructing a professional teaching identity. 2026-03-25T00:00:00Z
