(“Novas formas do trabalho e do desemprego : Brasil, Japão e França, numa perspectiva comparada ”)
 
Between 2001 and 2004 an inter-institutional and interdisciplinary research team developed a comparative project that moves between, on the one hand, the intense changes in the dynamic of capitalist development, in the forms of articulation of the world economy and the forms of economic regulation in various countries and on the other hand, the configuration of work systems and the relations of work with special interests in the new forms assumed by employment.

Geographic information systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in the area of urban public policy, even reaching the so-called social policies. In fact, in the 1990’s a large part of these applications were restricted to the sphere of taxation, as those systems were utilized to organize the taxpayers’ land registry, containing a description of each (legal) lot existing in the municipal database. More recently, other public policies  have come to demand systems of this type, for example, to permit the construction of spatial indicators, to study the location of new public service infrastructure  (schools, health units, bus stops, etc.) and to evaluate the spatial distribution of city registries (beneficiaries of income transfer programs, students, etc.)
