��rea de prote����o ambiental da Ilha do Combu, Bel��m/PA: desafios de implanta����o e de gestão de uma unidade de conserva����o

Esta disserta����o de mestrado constitui-se em um estudo de caso do processo de cria����o, implementa����o e gestão da ��rea de Prote����o Ambiental da Ilha do Combu (APA Combu) localizada no munic��pio de Bel��m no estado do Par��, delimitada temporalmente a partir do ato de sua cria����o no ano de 1997 ao per��odo atual, ano de 2010. Como principais objetivos pretenderam-se analisar e refletir sobre os principais desafios e possibilidades da gestão ambiental da ��rea de Prote����o Ambiental da Ilha do Combu; identificar as principais mudan��as ocorridas na Ilha do Combu ap��s o processo de cria����o da APA e identificar os principais problemas existentes na APA da Ilha do Combu. Os problemas que pretendemos responder s��o: Quais os principais desafios colocados e as possibilidades de uma gestão ambiental na APA da Ilha do Combu no contexto atual? Como se deu processo de cria����o da APA da Ilha do Combu na ��tica do ��rg��o gestor e das lideran��as locais? E o que significou para a popula����o da Ilha do Combu na ��tica das lideran��as locais a cria����o da APA? A pesquisa �� de cunho qualitativo e de car��ter interdisciplinar por abordar o problema na ��tica de v��rias disciplinas buscando uma vis��o hol��stica. Para a sua realiza����o foi realizado levantamento bibliogr��fico, consultas e an��lises de fontes documentais, visitas de campo, trilhas no interior da ilha, observa����o simples em reuni��es e oficinas e entrevistas com as lideran��as locais da APA, gestores e t��cnicos do ��rg��o ambiental. Utilizamo-nos tamb��m da cartografia como recurso metodol��gico para entender a din��mica desse territ��rio e para georreferenciar a configura����o atual da APA por meio de marca����o de pontos atrav��s de GPS. As principais conclus��es apontam para a fragilidade da gestão em unidades de conserva����o. Os desafios referem-se aos aspectos relacionados ��s demandas, aspecto cultural, ��rg��o gestor e conselho e uma atenta vis��o de futuro. As possibilidades encontram-se na manuten����o de uma floresta ainda bem conservada, a exist��ncia de um significativo arranjo institucional e lideran��as comprometidas com o lugar. N��o partiu da popula����o local a cria����o da APA e nem houve um conhecimento por todos da sua cria����o. A cria����o da APA n��o teve muito significado para o cotidiano da sua popula����o porque nenhuma mudan��a foi percebida desde a sua cria����o. Mas, salienta que a partir de dois anos para c�� j�� �� sentido algumas t��midas interven����es do ��rg��o gestor respons��vel, inclusive com grande expectativa na constru����o da sede da APA na ilha.

Educa����o ambiental e gestão de unidades de conserva����o: um estudo de caso na ��rea de Prote����o Ambiental Algodoal-Maiandeua

Analisa de que forma as pr��ticas de educa����o ambiental tem contribu��do para o fortalecimento e consolida����o da gestão de unidades de conserva����o, a partir das falas da comunidade local. Adotou-se como l��cus de pesquisa a ��rea de Prote����o Ambiental (APA) Algodoal-Maiandeua. Foram entrevistadas cem fam��lias residentes nas quatro comunidades da APA Algodoal-Maiandeua: Vila de Algodoal, Vila Fortalezinha, Vila de Camboinha e Vila de Mocooca. Verificou-se que a educa����o ambiental pouco tem contribu��do para a consolida����o da gestão socioambiental da unidade de conserva����o pelos seguintes motivos: baixa frequ��ncia das a����es, falta de continuidade das a����es, n��o envolvimento da comunidade local no planejamento e implementa����o das a����es, resultando em a����es que n��o contemplam temas considerados importantes pela comunidade local, aus��ncia da gerencia na unidade de conserva����o, a����es de educa����o ambiental concentradas nos visitantes, a����es restritas aos per��odos chamados de ���alta temporada��� ��� m��s de Julho, Reveill��n e feriados ��� onde ocorre um aumento no fluxo de visita����o na Ilha de Algodoal-Maiandeua. Constatou-se que o baixo grau de efetividade das a����es de educa����o ambiental implementadas contribui para que a UC n��o desempenhe plenamente a sua fun����o como unidade de conserva����o, mostrando-se necess��rio a reestrutura����o ampla da gestão, para que esta possa ser concretizada como previsto no Sistema de Unidades de Conserva����o.

A gera����o de res��duos s��lidos urbanos e sua influ��ncia na gestão urbano-ambiental municipal de Sorocaba/SP

In Brazil, rates of urban solid waste generation increase proportionally more than the annual growing of the population. The government, from its federal authority to the municipal spheres, faces increasing challenges for Urban and Environmental management regarding to solid waste in general and, in particular, municipal solid waste. Financial problems added to public health problems that worsen with the serious environmental impacts generated every year. In August 2010 Brazil the PNRS (National Policy on Solid Waste) was approved and sanctioned in which represented a true watershed in the country as a legal framework extremely ambitious and visionary. This work presents the successes and challenges that the municipality of Sorocaba/SP is facing after more than three years of PNRS sanctioned to conduct an Urban and Environmental management suited to the new legal bases towards the subject of solid waste. The results show a large gap between the content proposed by the law and the technical, financial and temporal reality to practical implementation by the municipal government. New legislation and federal incentives, consortiums among the cities, flexible deadlines and environmental education at all levels are certainly some proposals to catalyze processes that aim to solve and overcome the challenges of solid waste

A pol��tica nacional de res��duos s��lidos e o plano diretor municipal de Rio Claro/SP: o uso como instrumento para a gestão urbano-ambiental municipal

Due to the large economic development associated with the growing consumerist lifestyle of our capitalist society, the problem of uncontrolled solid waste generation worsens, which one is considered to be one of the main responsible factors for environmental degradation. As a case study and in order to solve the problem of large generation of municipal solid waste, this work aims to study the ���plano diretor��� of Rio Claro city, S��o Paulo. The ���plano diretor��� is a municipal law that provides guidelines for the administration of the city, which include guidelines for the management of solid waste generated in the city. The guidelines required in order to write the ���plano diretor��� are provided by the national law ���estatuto da cidade���, providing information for the planning and development of the cities, as well as the management of the urban environment. However, only the ���estatuto da cidade��� does not provide enough instructions for creating management plans in order to solve the many problems from the urban environment. Thus, studies have been done about urban and environmental management, to understand how municipal management plans should be structured. As a form of seeking information that can complement the ���plano diretor��� to the creation of policies for managing solid waste of the city, the ���Pol��tica Nacional de Res��duos S��lidos���(PNRS) emerges in 2010 as a document which provides principles, objectives and guidelines to create plans for Solid Waste Management at the national, state, regional and municipal levels. Therefore, it was possible to make a joint analysis of the ���plano diretor��� of Rio Claro with the PNRS to identify what is already done within the municipality about the solid waste management, and identify which aspects are most significant in the municipal solid waste management that the national policy provides. Yet studies have been done on the current municipal solid waste management...

Contribui����o dos indicadores de sustentabilidade na gestão urbano ambiental

Recently in Brazil cities have been suffering strong influence concerning concepts of sustainable development and urban-environmental management in order to implement public policies. These approaches combined, subsidize fair democratic construction, along with citizen participation and transparency regarding the use of resources. This study was meant to address the evaluation of performance and environmental quality through the use of sustainability indicators as a tool for planning and management of municipal urban-environmental, its advantages, disadvantages and contributions to the effectiveness in the implementation of policies aimed at local sustainable development. The main objective of the study was to do a comparative analysis of the indicators used in Piracicaba, to the national indicator system and other municipal programs, and also, its application in urban and environmental planning. To achieve this goal, initially a topic selection was made based on a bibliographic analysis in order to discuss the use of management tools and municipal evaluation systems from the perspective of sustainability, showing the management tools such as laws, agreements, documents and mainly, sustainability indicators. It was then, prepared the case study carried out in Piracicaba, S��o Paulo municipality. With the obtained results, it was possible to provide a model which shows strengths and weaknesses of public actions and policies for the environment, such as project suggestions that could be applied aiming greater sustainability and continuous improvement of municipal environmental performance

A percep����o ambiental como instrumento de apoio na gestão e na formula����o de pol��ticas p��blicas ambientais

Este artigo insere-se nos estudos de pol��ticas p��blicas e gestão ambiental municipal. Tem por objetivo discutir como o uso da percep����o ambiental pode ser relevante para a gestão ambiental municipal. O caso de estudo escolhido para guiar esta discuss��o foi o Distrito de Paranapiacaba e Parque Andreense, Munic��pio de Santo Andr��-SP. A metodologia utilizada envolveu aplica����o de question��rio quali-quantitativo junto �� popula����o local, buscando coletar a percep����o acerca do meio ambiente e de instrumentos da gestão ambiental local. Os resultados indicaram que o uso da percep����o da comunidade pode atuar como uma ferramenta de apoio �� gestão do meio ambiente, e subsidiar um processo participativo para uma gestão compartilhada entre poder p��blico e sociedade.

Praias urbanas e racionalidade ambiental: avalia����o da gestão, das interven����es urban��sticas e dos usos na praia de ponta negra

This dissertation addresses issues considered essential for sustainable development of urban waterfronts and beaches. Many of these spaces, even though they are of public authorities, economic market and general population interests - due to its landscape, its importance for recreation purposes and as a basis of " Sun and beach Tourism " (Turismo de Sol e Praia), among other factors - have shown aesthetic, health and cultural degradation, entailing environmental, economic and social losses and conflicts. Based on this perception, the research aims to understand the main reasons for these negative results for beach spaces. To this end, it was chosen the case study of a typical urban beach, Ponta Negra Beach, located in Natal, RN. Ponta Negra is associated with the "postcard" of the city and it has been deserving of municipal urban planning legislation that legally recognizes the importance of its landscape. Also it has received constant investments by the Government through urban projects, arguing to leave the site attractive to its users. Nevertheless, in the last fifteen years, the beach has lived with the expansion of its problems, such as those related to bathing water, to coastal erosion, and to the mangling of its natural surroundings. Social conflicts have also been frequent in this time frame: conflicts between residents of the waterfront and traders who work on the beach, between the traders themselves, between the managers of space and fishermen, between managers and formal and informal traders. Many of these social and environmental conflicts have taken such grand proportions that became legal matters. Assuming that the problems identified are related to the issue of rationality - understood as a system of values, norms and actions that relate means and ends - and upholding the need for focused research on "environmental rationality" to understand and interpret the dynamics of social and environmental problems encountered on site, the research that guides the study relies on the Mexican economist Enrique Leff's theory on "environmental rationality" which, briefly, can be defined as a system of values, norms, actions and means and ends relations based on the principles of environmental management and sustainable development. Among other aspects, rationality encompasses cross-sectional planning of public administration, the participation of society in the management of environmental resources, interdisciplinary reorganization of knowledge, the clash of opposing interests and the conciliation of common goals of different social actors. The study evaluates the relationship between "environmental rationality", as proposed by Enrique Leff, with the management, urban interventions and uses observed in Ponta Negra Beach. For that, some benchmarks were established and considered in the research as related to sustainable development of the "beachy" atmosphere. Analytical instruments chosen were the urban transformations and the environmental and social problems that have been the target of lawsuits. Also part of the study, the problems that were the subject of civil investigations, which are investigation procedures carried out by the Prosecutor's Office.

NSTRUMENTOS DE GEST��O DA POL��TICA AMBIENTAL DO ESTADO DE MINAS GERAIS E A EXPANS��O DA CANA-DE-A����CAR NO TRI��NGULO MINEIRO, BRASIL

Desde 2003, o planejamento do Estado de Minas Gerais, sudeste brasileiro, se d�� por meio de Projetos Estruturadores, os quais procuram, desde ent��o, intensificar a atua����o do governo estadual na gestão ambiental, por meio da utiliza����o de uma s��rie de instrumentos, dentre os quais o licenciamento ambiental e o Zoneamento Ecol��gico Econ��mico. Tendo como base a pesquisa documental e observa����es efetuadas nos trabalhos de campo realizados no per��odo de 2007 a 2009, objetivamos nesse trabalho apresentar a aplicabilidade desses instrumentos na gestão ambiental do Tri��ngulo Mineiro, mais detidamente no que se refere �� expans��o do setor sucroalcooleiro. De forma contradit��ria, sua aplica����o no ordenamento territorial baseado nas potencialidades e fragilidades socioambientais tem incentivado a instala����o de atividades produtivas, que de modo sin��rgico e cumulativo, causam impactos ambientais que v��o de encontro �� qualidade ambiental pretendida.
