Gestão florestal e propriedade: A floresta, a (sua) propriedade e o alcance das políticas públicas

O trabalho pretende questionar se as necessidades da gestão da floresta e as interacções com o ambiente, justificam o repensar do conceito de propriedade privada, na definição de políticas florestais concretizadoras duma «mundividência ambiental». Estrutura-se em quatro partes: primeiro, procura-se dar uma perspectiva do direito de propriedade privada, a sua perenidade na nossa cultura, sobretudo na cultura jurídica; segundo, analisa-se a dinâmica da propriedade privada da floresta nos últimos séculos, e as soluções de políticas florestais- destacando-se a criação das zonas de intervenção florestal (ZIF); terceiro, estuda-se em concreto o regime de certificação florestal, como forma específica de gestão florestal; quarto, sublinham-se novos desafios ambientais à gestão das florestas, designadamente a identificação dos problemas que emergem em resultado das alterações climáticas, destacando-se o sequestro de carbono e a criação do mercado de carbono. Este estudo não é estanque, faz parte de um mesmo questionamento: é o ambiente um valor para a humanidade ou é um valor em si mesmo? ABSTRACT: The work intends to question if the private property of the forest, toward the necessities of management and interactions with the environment, justifies the rethink of the concept, in forest politics definition, producer of an interactive view of the environment. lt is structured in four parts: first, it intends to give a perspective of the right of private property, its longevity in our culture, the importance of legal quarrel; second, the dynamics of the private property of the forest, in the latest centuries, and the solutions of the implemented forest politics - being distinguished the creation of zones of forest intervention, the ZIF; third, the forest management ­ forest certification; fourth, the environmental source, the identification of problems that emerge in result of climatic alterations, being distinguished the kidnap of carbon and the creation of the carbon market. This study is not tight; it is part of the same reflection: of being the environment a value for the humanity or a value in itself exactly.

Community School of São Miguel de Machede: A decade of Learning

the Community School of São Miguel de Machede exists since 1998. A model of Community Education has been developed in this decade of existence, which not being confined to the frequent profiles of the most common approaches in Adult Education, has been the result of a process of symbiosis between a practice that normally precedes the conceptualization and a thought which has always expressed the concern of interpreting and enrich that practice. Setting on a model of learning based on the PADéCA – Program of Helping the Development of the Capacity to Learn, proposed by Berbaum (1988), the Community School of São Miguel de Machede has been developing several activities centred on a fundamental concern: to create easy and qualified accesses, in this community (council of Evora), so that the respective members can learn to exercise their principal rights of citizenship, in the territory where they live and in a circumstance of equality of opportunities in relation to the remaining fellow countrymen. Being a project with a decade of life, it is now possible to speak of a history full of stories and learning experiences, which occurred as a result of a rich interaction between the initial thoughts and impulses of the theoretical approaches and a reality full of unexpectedness, mutability and humanity resulting from the complexity that a living community presents, with a history and a present, but not always with clear and positive idea about the respective future.

Exemplos de reabilitação de monumentos megalíticos do norte do Alentejo - Portugal

This communication will be presented rehabilitation examples of megalithic monuments resulting from over 30 years of archaeological investigations carried out in northern Alentejo (Portugal). Being the oldest megalithic structures monumental architectural buildings of humanity pathologies that present are multiple and very different from each other. Typically, the recoveries of these structures have to be preceded by an archaeological nature of action to identify and recognize the best solutions for their preservation. Thus, this communication will present the results of the work carried out in different dolmens and menhirs, with timelines ranging from the 6th and 3th millenniums before Christ.
