Descentralização política e participação comunitária no Rio de Janeiro: a experiência dos Conselhos Governo-Comunidade durante o governo Saturnino Braga (1986-1988)

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a experiência política dos Conselhos Governo-Comunidade durante o governo Saturnino Braga à frente da prefeitura da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, entre os anos de 1986 e 1988. Criados no interior das trinta Regiões Administrativas espalhadas pelo território do município, os CGCs, como também ficaram conhecidos na época, tinham a função de fazer a interlocução entre as reivindicações e demandas das comunidades cariocas com o poder público municipal. O projeto dos CGCs procurou atender a uma antiga reivindicação do movimento comunitário: o desejo de participar ativamente nos processos decisórios de intervenção da prefeitura nos bairros e favelas cariocas. Constituídos por membros das associações de moradores de bairros, associações de favelas, associações comerciais e de indústrias, além de contar com a participação dos agentes públicos da prefeitura, os CGCs, através da descentralização política e administrativa, permitiram que as comunidades cariocas pudessem indicar e fiscalizar as obras que a prefeitura realizaria em suas localidades. Ao estabelecer a participação comunitária no processo de intervenção nos bairros e favelas cariocas como base de sua política, o governo Saturnino Braga, por meio dos conselhos, objetivou o fortalecimento do poder local em detrimento das práticas clientelísticas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, principalmente ao não permitir a troca de obras por votos para deputados e vereadores. Com críticas ao populismo, os CGCs foram uma aposta da prefeitura do Rio e do governo Saturnino Braga para uma nova forma de se fazer política na cidade.

Elasmobranch Landings for the Portuguese Commercial Fishery From 1986 to 2001

Portuguese commercial elasmobranch landings were analyzed for the period 1986–2001. An average of 5,169 (± 795 t) were landed yearly, representing 18 families, 29 genera, and 34 confirmed species. However, annual landings for the fishery generally decreased over time, with a corresponding increase in price per kilogram. The most important group, Raja spp., accounted for 33% of the landings or 26,916 t. They were followed by Centroscymnus coelolepis, Scyliorhinus spp., Centrophorus granulosus, and Centrophorus squamosus (accounting for 12%, 12%, 11%, and 9% of the landings, respectively). In the absence of CPUE data, the comparative trends of landings and price were employed as an indicator of the “status” of specific elasmobranch species. Raja spp., Centrophorus granulosus, Mustelus spp., Torpedo spp., and Squatinidae displayed indications of possible overexploitation, and they merit the focus of future research.
