Abstract

This thesis aims at studying the new generations, forms of integration in the urban area of Rio Branco in Acre. Under socio-historical contexts differentiated, it was the stories of two generations of work, one coming from the forest, and another from the city. These young families are remnants of trees and residents on the outskirts of Rio Branco. His work experiences come from a new urban context, which xmdergoes considerable changes. In accordance to this, we attempted to investigate the socio-spatial changes of Rio Branco - a city that comes from the plantation - a glimpse contemporaneously efifect changes for new writings in this city of the Amazon. In Acre, is mainly from the 1970s that the issues of survival and social reproduction are reaching large segments of families arísing fix)m rubber plantations failed by the decline of the rubber. Emerges from this relationship between city and forest a new way to manage the current city, as well as the inclusion of youth in urban environmental association to the needs of the planet. Mediated by social practices of the recent past, new generations inherit the legacy of a standing forest. However, the outlook could trigger work through this forest, are still barely visible to the couple belongs to this city, which for now has only "the ground of the city" to carry out their ways of survival and employment. The research is part of the field of youth studies and social memory considering the previous generation, in relation to their inter-relations with the current work, at school and at home. Thus, in addition to changes in the construction of a "new" condition of youth in society is evident also changes in ways of managing development at the local levei, in order, the legacy of local practices and to maintain their contribution towards forest a city that can be socially and environmentally more just the fact that, for the socio-historical Rio Branco, is something tiiat slips still limitations and challenges in order to accomplish the city of promise. From the theoretical point of view, part of the analysis of categories and youth work and uses the concepts of Segmentations Social Structure and Opportunities R. Kaztman and Insert Random Dubar for the analysis of the interviews on the concept of Rémy village on undeveloped land and urbanized city in the understanding of the key changes that Rio Branco experience. We use the qualitative methodolo©? based on open interviews and in depth, from a semi-directive. The field developed between the years 2008 and 2009, when 35 people were interviewed and 12 rubber parents about their past work. The young age ranged from 13 to 29 years and parents between 37 and 76 years. Using the narrativos youth is evident in a gap insertion in the trajectories of work and school for these young people in the midst of the struggles undertaken by govemment actions aimed at implementing urban sustainability in this city that tries to promote new writing of himself in the course of the Amazon floor.
