A sustentabilidade do destino turístico Porto Santo

A partir do Relatório Bruntland, da UE, o vocábulo sustentabilidade passou a ser utilizado correntemente nas mais variadas áreas de estudo, com especial incidência nas áreas de âmbito sócio-económico e ambiental, tendo em vista alcançar o denominado desenvolvimento sustentável. Assim, o conceito sustentabilidade está hoje intimamente relacionado com o desenvolvimento. Como se depreende das múltiplas versões que pretendem definir os conceitos, existe uma complexidade latente, dada a abrangência dos mesmos. Daí que, muitas vezes a utilização destes conceitos, não seja a mais correcta. Inicialmente confinada ao ambiente natural, a sustentabilidade congrega hoje em dia, as componentes social, económica e cultural, bem como o ambiente construído pelo homem. A noção de desenvolvimento sustentável expandiu-se e alargou-se a sectores e actividades económicas específicos, incluindo o Turismo. Neste caso concreto, o sector assume particular importância no contexto da economia mundial, dado o seu dinamismo e crescimento, bem como a contribuição que oferece às economias de muitos países e destinos locais, e ainda porque é uma actividade que envolve uma relação especial entre os visitantes, a actividade económica, o ambiente e as comunidades locais. Contudo, o turismo não permaneceu nem pode permanecer indiferente ao desafio da sustentabilidade, pois apesar de contribuir com cerca de 10 % do total da actividade mundial e ser um dos principais geradores de emprego, causa também impactos significativos no meio natural e construído e no bem-estar e cultural das populações receptoras. Concretamente no caso do turismo em ilhas, o sector representa muitas vezes a força motriz que está por detrás da economia das pequenas ilhas. Todavia, em certas ilhas, a indústria do turismo assumiu tais proporções que ameaça o equilíbrio dos ecossistemas e as próprias culturas. A utilização sustentável e uma política racional de conservação desses mesmos recursos são pré-requisitos essenciais à sua plena exploração, dada a vulnerabilidade da maioria dos pequenos territórios insulares.Neste trabalho, procura-se inicialmente compreender o significado de conceitos como desenvolvimento sustentável e em particular turismo sustentável e turismo sustentável em ilhas. Como caso de estudo, apresenta-se a ilha do Porto Santo, pertencente ao Arquipélago da Madeira. Inicialmente é feita uma caracterização da ilha, desde as suas gentes e cultura, até às infra-estruturas de que hoje dispõe, para depois se procurar compreender a importância e o papel do turismo na economia portossantense, e os impactos que o sector do turismo tem gerado nesta pequena ilha do Atlântico. Apresenta-se, por fim, e de forma sucinta, a avaliação de modelos e soluções de desenvolvimento assentes no turismo sustentável e a apresentação de rácios de avaliação do desenvolvimento turístico sustentável e a sua consequente aplicação à ilha do Porto Santo. Para o efeito, além dos dados recolhidos junto das entidades competentes, elaboraram-se ainda dois questionários: um aos residentes da ilha, outro aos turistas. O objectivo foi o de se retirarem ilações sobre o que os turistas pensam da ilha e, na opinião dos residentes, quais as alterações sócio-económicas e culturais que o turismo trouxe ao Porto Santo. Por fim, apresentam-se as conclusões e recomendações sobre o destino turístico Porto Santo.

Sustentabilidade das empresas associadas à REDEPETRO-RN

The present study investigated the management of social, environmental and economic sustainability practices employed by 72 oil companies in Rio Grande do Norte state in Brazil associated to Joint Business Network for Enhancing the Competitive Ability of Suppliers of Goods and Services to the Gas and Oil Industry in Rio Grande do Norte (REDEPETRO-RN). Thus, our investigation aimed to determine the extent to which sustainability practices of companies associated to REDEPETRO-RN are developed through their own efforts or influenced by the Triple Helix interorganizational arrangement (governamental organizations, education and research institutions, and industries). The research instrument used was a questionnaire in order to map and characterize the sustainability practices. The research subjects were business owners and managers. The data collected supported the descriptive, correspondence and correlation analyzes. Were identified a greater emphasis of the companies surveyed in developing sustainability practices and greater economic influence of business organizations in the construction of sustainability status. It was concluded with confirmation of thesis of the REDEPETRO-RN arrangement exhibits the characteristics and functioning of a common Interorganizational Cooperative Arrangement, not those of a triple helix interorganizational arrangement, given that the influences exerted for the development of social, environmental and economical sustainability on the part of teaching and research institutions, and government and business organizations do not interact with one another sufficiently to create a virtuous circle of cooperation among the associated companies. By contrast, the Interorganizational Cooperative Arrangement plays an important role in strengthening the competitiveness of companies affiliated to REDEPETRO-RN, by combining different competencies in an attempt at supporting the adoption of sustainability practices, a role reinforced by the scope of PETROBRAS, which, due to its economic importance, has considerable weight in the managerial decisions of associated companies

Do tratamento das reclamações à gestão da insatisfação: o comportamento de empresas hoteleiras mediante a insatisfação de seus clientes

Consumer dissatisfaction, when properly handled, is a significant information source for the manager. Studies in this area allow broadening the understanding of certain customer attitudes and behaviors, such as loyalty, repurchase intention or satisfaction and trust increase. Above and beyond supporting consumer feedback, dissatisfaction can provide significant opportunities for organizational learning. Starting from dissatisfied customer information, companies can detect service flaws and develop new products. This work presents the results of an investigation on the behavior of businesses belonging to the hotel sector in Natal, RN, through the dissatisfaction of their customers. We have sought to map the main problems presented by customers to hotels, in the perception of managers and employees, as well as to understand both the process of dissatisfactionrelated data collection, analysis, and processing, and the utilization of such information by businesses. Beyond this, we have compared the habits of organizations to the company reaction approaches described in the literature: Complaint Handling, Complaint Management, and Dissatisfaction Management. The used methodology has been based on case study. Data was collected via indepth interviews with managers and employees in six hotels, two independent ones and four belonging to national and international hotel networks. We have also made use of documents provided by the organizations, such as guest complaint registers and reports from satisfaction surveys on which content analysis was subsequently performed. The results of the investigation point to a high level of awareness in the companies concerning the importance of consumer dissatisfaction. Even though the maximum grade in the procedure scale is not achieved, it has been observed that answer to dissatisfaction is given in planned and systematic form, geared towards consumer satisfaction and improvement of products and processes. Hotel businesses still have to look into other possibilities for mapping consumer dissatisfaction, which implies, among other aspects, articulation with a range of public and private organizations in such a way as to guarantee sustainability of touristic activities in the long term

Sustentabilidade de EES: contribuições e desafios do PITCPES/UFPA a partir da análise da Cooperativa dos Fruticultores de Abaetetuba COFRUTA

The study aimed to understand how the methodology of hatching contributes to the sustainability of economic enterprises in solidarity. For analysis, we developed a study on the social economy and the incubation methodology, based on the program of teaching, research and extension - Technological Incubator of Popular Cooperatives and Entrepreneurship Solidarity (PITCPES), and as the survey of the Cooperative of Fruit of Abaetetuba - COFRUTA. We started from the exploratory-descriptive approach in a qualitative and quantitative, in order to demonstrate the process of sustainability under the dimensions of different kinds such as: the economic dimension, social dimension, the political dimension, size and scale management training. Based on the analysis of these different dimensions was reached results as: first the recognition that the incubator contributes to the sustainability of COFRUTA, especially with regard to planning, control and the need to diversify production. However, there was suggestion of cooperative for training and technical assistance is continued, to the extent that the performance of projects under the base leaves gaps for the learning and application of social technologies required to the Incubator. It also concluded that the dissertation contributes to the team of the incubator can assess their strengths and weaknesses in their performance

UBS RN-7: proposta arquitetônica para um padrão flexível de unidade básica de saúde para a zona bioclimática 7 do RN, com ênfase na sustentabilidade ambiental

Standardization and sustainability: these two apparently antagonistic words find the challenge of uniting in a flexible architectonic proposal. This was the idea that motivated the proposal of this assignment, whose appearing is bound up with the necessity of thinking about standardized spaces that attend on functional criterias and environmental sustainability, in reply to an existing real demand. The assignment consists of an architectonic proposal for a flexible standard of a Basic Unit of Health for the bioclimatic zone 7 of RN (UBS RN-7), with emphasis in the environmental sustainability. The project contemplates innumerable involved variables, such as: obedience to the current law of the Health Ministry for the UBSs; formal/aesthetic aspects; criterias of expansiveness of the UBS I for the UBS II; relative aspects to the constructive rationality and, mainly, sustainability aspects. With the intention to unite the variables and, also, glimpsing a proposal that could reach a good functional performance, aesthetic, of environment comfort and energetic efficiency, it was also necessary to consider concepts about the flexibility of the envelopment. The elaboration of the architecture first draft was based on bibliographical research, conceptual studies and references, elaboration of the architectonic program and the draft development for the UBS port I and the UBS port II. To the end, an implantation data sheet for the project is proposed for the UBS standard project, where strategies of thermal isolation, shadowing and thermal inertia are adopted and combined to three possible types of lot, resulting in 24 possibilities of implantation

Projeto do complexo ambulatorial do Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto visando a critérios de sustentabilidade

The purpose of this dissertation is the architectural project of the ambulatory complex of the Federal University of Pará in Belém. It is a health care establishment whose focus is sustainability, energy efficiency and humanization. This design went through the application of architectural concepts, the study of references (theorical and empirical ones), planning, examining the terrain and its conditions and the preliminay design and resulted in a preliminary architecture blueprint. The empirical research is based on the main building of the Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto in Belém, Hospital Sarah Kubitschek of Fortaleza (Architect João Filgueiras de Lima - Lelé) and Hospital e Maternity São Luiz of São Paulo (Architect Siegbert Zanettini). Part of the planning is based on the method "Problem Seeking of Pena and Parshal (2001)". During the development process I sought to incorporate sustainability criterias, energy efficiency and humanization. In relation to sustainability the dissertation focuses on the utilization of rainwater for non-potable usage
