PANORAMA DOS PROGRAMAS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DA ÁREA DE PLANEJAMENTO URBANO E REGIONAL E DEMOGRAFIA: A LACUNA NAS REGIÕES NORTE, CENTRO-OESTE E NORDESTE

Abstract

Postgraduate Programs in Brazil started in the 1950s, with the first Programs in the Urban and Regional Planning (PUR) area, so called initially in 1970, without the area of Demography (D). However, for more than a decade after 1980, there was no territorial expansion, which occurred after the 1990s, especially in the years 2000, with the creation of the Professional Master's Degrees. Currently, the evaluation area in Capes is called Urban and Regional Planning and Demography (PLURD). In this way, by searching for data and information, through documentary analysis in the Relatório de Avaliação da Área (published in 2017), in the GeoCapes website and the Sucupira Platform, this text aims to perform a descriptive and quantitative analysis of the Posgraduate Programs at the PLURD area in the country. As a result, it can be highlighted that there is a gap or low supply of Programs in the PLURD area in the North, Midwest and Northeast regions; there is also a low supply of Professional Programs; and there is no PhD program in the Center-West region of the country. Considering the relevance of the area, emphasizing its multi, inter and transdisciplinarity, to the process of local and regional development, efforts will need to ensure that all regions of the country have related Programs that can contribute to the process of reflection theoretical, as well as for practices, above all, applied to territorial planning urban and / or regional.
