INTEGRATION POLICY IN THE TRIPLE FRONTIER (BR, PY, AR): PHYSICAL UTILITY AND COMPLEMENTARY MICROMOBILITY

Abstract

This study is part of the PhD research carried out at the State University of Maringá, in the Postgraduate Program in Geography in the research line "Space Production and Territorial Dynamics". The relations that occur in the Triple Frontier that are settled between cities that belong to distinct Nations generate human mobility forms, constructed by the daily practices when crossing the borders. These are routines exercised by the borderer, who is constantly encountering other frontiers created by the current legislation within the different National States. This study has the objective to ascertain how global economic policy acts on place, and how the capital forces in places act on people and lead to the human mobility process. This work aims to evaluate the impact of these policies on high school students from 26 Teaching Institutions in the Triple Border. The data collection takes place through an auto-fill form, from the photo-answer to the question: "What reflects the street things about the daily human mobility of the Triple Frontier social life? And a bibliographical research about the history and geography of the place. In this way, it is observed that in the different places of the Triple Frontier not everything is connected, nor everything is separated, due to the space different functionalities. This leads to the conclusion that the border human mobility is a forced mobility and has a complementary function to the needs of this citizen.
