Processo participativo da população na construção da agenda 21 local:o caso de Parnamirim

One of the agreements assumed at the conference of the United Nations for the Environments and Development which took place in Rio de Janeiro in 1992; through Global Agenda 21, was that the signatory countries would create a national Politics of sustainable development, by means of their national Agenda 21. Demonstrating the relevance of municipal districts and the local communities, during the definitions of new development standards compromised to the transformation of the society, socia1ly and environmentally well-balanced world, it was also agreed on that places under the responsibilities of the municipal districts would promote their own local Agenda 21. We need to point out though that the government has the prerogative and the responsibly of facilitating the population participation process in the construction of national and local Agenda. This made it possible again, to plan the scheming process directly towards the insertion of population participation at the different levels, involving the entire local sectors while establishing a new local partnership through the local municipal government. Thus, we decide to verify the participation of the population in the construction of their local Agenda 21, choosing for the study case Parnamirim municipality from RN. The question which originated the objectives and analysis was formulated on the following terms: Up to which stage was the process of population participation effective in the elaboration of Parnamirims's local Agenda 21? Based on this uneasiness, it was defined as the general objective, the verification of population participation process during the elaboration of Parnamirims's local Agenda 21, aiming at its effectiveness as well as specific objectives; to identify the population representivity, the construction of the local AG 21 in order to identify on which level is the participation based, to verify the strategies used in order to promote the process participation, to identify the motives guiding those involved in the construction of the local Agenda 21. This case study at Parnamirim municipal district demonstrated that there was effective population participation as far as the local Agenda 21 is concerned

Identidade e participação da comunidade rural nos processos de desenvolvimento local:desafios e competências do regulado de Nhambita-Moçambique

This thesis is defined as a reflection on the mechanisms of expression and insertion of the homo situs in the participatory governance in Mozambique. For a better understanding of this social fact, it was settled a periodization which covered the decline of colonialism at the time of the independence, which was proclaimed in June 1975, the civil war that lasted over 16 years and the period of the democratic State, further established. Therefore, we sought to understand the mechanisms and failures of the participation of the homo situs in local development projects that absorbed the needs and problems of these peasants, not mobilizing the skills and social competences of these communities. It would be essential for the homo situs a genuine democratic practice involving a political culture based on the social construction of the territories of the traditional man which was characterized by being procedural and historical, finding in participation its higher base. In this context, it would be desirable that the community development in Mozambique could contemplate and respect the choices of the homo situs. For this purpose, it would be fundamental the consistency between theory and practice, which builds and rebuilds, continually the competence of the peasants, facilitating the possibility of realization of their primordial aspirations. In the research, it became apparent that there is not a continuous process of participation of the rural communities, which appear as participants, only at the time of the implementation of the activities. Therefore, even having the participation of the communities expected by the law, with predictable moments of discussion and necessary conditions for that, the State failed to establish an ongoing process of democratic dialogue with traditional populations, as well as it failed to organize, properly, accurate informational bases to help solve the problems of rural areas. These facts have led to obstacles to the process of conquest of the human and civil rights of the traditional communities

O Jeito nordestino de ser globalizado

This work discusses the impacts of the globalization in the Brazilian northeast culture, specifically in the popular field. The background of theses reflections is the carnival festivities in Recife-PE. In this context, attempts to changes as well as resistance to them maintaining the cultural values and the popular manifestations take a new dimension, presenting different ways of being nordestino. The option for the context of the carnival festivities is due to its significance to the people of this place, particularly as it is a space in which people represent themselves. The work presents a version of the history of carnival in Recife, identifies some manifestations that comprise it, analyzes its changes and shows the process of valuing the local culture in the latest years of the 20th century. The research also reveals how the popular culture assumes a functional and dynamic character where the themes of the popular traditions are being reworked. This process allows not only the survival of the local culture, but also the resistance against the capitalist project to construct a global culture and its uniform character. Even though the carnival festivity has become a mega show, composing a market design, it is still a space to construct differences and see the other. Lastly, for the people of that region, it is a space of fighting for a place in the international panorama

Integração de práticas culturais e redução da dose do bentazon na cultura da soja: I - efeitos sobre o crescimento da cultura

O trabalho foi desenvolvido no município de Jaboticabal, SP, no ano agrícola de 1990/91, onde testou-se a integração de práticas culturais e menor dose de herbicida aplicado em pósemergência na cultura da soja, cultivar Paraná. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso, com dezesseis tratamentos e quatro repetições, no esquema fatorial 4x2x2, sendo quatro tipos de manejos de plantas daninhas: testemunha infestada, 50% da dose recomendada (360 g ia/ha) do herbicida bentazon, dose recomendada do herbicida bentazon (720 g ia/ha) e testemunha capinada; dois espaçamentos entre-linhas: 30 cm e 60 cm; e duas densidades: normal e reduzida (média de 20 e 10 plantas por metro, respectivamente). Observou-se que a quantidade de matéria seca das plantas daninhas por época da colheita da soja, foi significativamente maior nos tratamentos com espaçamento maior e densidade reduzida. O arranjo proporcionado pela densidade normal (média de 20 plantas /m) e menor espaçamento (30 cm) entre-linhas, proporcionou sombreamento mais precoce do solo e foi a melhor opção de controle cultural das plantas daninhas em todos os tratamentos testados. Não foi observado sintomas de intoxicação e nem efeitos negativos sobre a nodulação das plantas de soja, por parte do herbicida aplicado, em ambas as doses testadas.

Influência da variabilidade espacial de atributos químicos de um latossolo na aplicação de insumos para cultura de cana-de-acúcar

As técnicas de aplicação localizada e em taxas variadas de insumos agrícolas com auxílio da geoestatística têm sido umas das áreas de concentração de esforços recentes em pesquisas e desenvolvimento ligado à agricultura de precisão. Portanto, o trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a necessidade de aplicação de calcário e fósforo com base no comportamento espacial de atributos químicos do solo. Foram feitas amostragens do solo a intervalos regulares de 50 m, em uma área de 42 ha, na profundidade de 0,0-0,2 m para determinação do pH, Ca, Mg, P, V% e cálculo da necessidade de calagem e superfosfato triplo. Os dados foram submetidos às análises da estatística descritiva, geoestatística e interpolação por krigagem. O uso da técnica de geoestatística possibilitou uma precisa descrição dos atributos do solo o que permitiu a definição de zonas de manejo, indicando os locais de ocorrência de déficit e excesso. A variabilidade espacial dos atributos químicos do solo, possibilita a recomendação de doses de calcário e fósforo com taxas variadas, proporcionando economia e maior eficiência na aplicação.

Diagnóstico sócio-produtivo-econômico da comunidade de catadores de resíduos sólidos do município de Codó-MA: um estudo de caso

The research was carried out in the urban area in Codó-MA, a small city the east part of Maranhão, which has 4,228.000 km2 (IBGE, 2000) and population of 113,768 hab. (IBGE, 2008). The city is also inside Codó-MA micro-region. The city is located in one of the lacking area in Brazil, where the Human Development Index (IDH) is approximately 0,558. It does not present an adequate model of management when talking about solid residue collecting. All of the solid residue produced and collected in the city is stored in an open area that they call lixão , which is located in a residence area in the suburbs. Because of that, a problem that involves public health and environmental areas, we understand it is necessary to investigate the way the local government treats and manages the solid residue collecting, as well as, the social, economical and productive reality of those who are directly involved in the collecting itself, its productive chain of the material, including the handling, transportation and its final destiny. It means a social, productive, economical diagnosis, that in a such way,the local society and the organs of inspection can act in a better way to control the problems that include solid urban residue and come from a bad administration. That way, this work proposes to carry out a study that has as result a diagnosis with feasible alternatives on management, taking as basis, social and economical aspects that compound this productive chain. This work can bring great contributions to a better local reality through the introduction of an integrated and supported system of management of solid residue that includes a selective collecting and the creation of a sanitary area. Taking that into consideration, we can contribute to minimize the environmental impacts in Codó Novo, caused by the garbage

Avaliação social de empreendimentos agroindustriais :um estudo na carcinicultura

O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar a contribuição social da atividade econômica denominada de carcinicultura, para o município de Canguaretama no Rio Grande do Norte, a partir da visão dos moradores do citado município, sendo enfocados aspectos ambientais, aspectos de produção, consumo de energia, geração de empregos e renda, e investimentos na área social, para a melhoria de vida da população local. Foi realizada uma pesquisa amostral do tipo Survey com 234 pessoas daquele município de um universo de 27.011 habitantes. Foi escolhido esse município porque o mesmo é um dos principais produtores de camarões no Estado, além de contar com as principais fazendas de criação e laboratórios de melhoramento genético dessa cultura. O instrumento de pesquisa utilizado, foi o questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas. Resultados mostram que grande maioria declarou pouco conhecimento com relação ao processo produtivo da atividade da carcinicultura e reconheceram como principal benefício da mesma, a geração de empregos. Em termos de associação entre variáveis, não se verificou relacionamento entre as variáveis investigadas do grupo perfil e a variável dependente que expressa a opinião do entrevistado quanto aos benefícios sociais gerados pela atividade. Ou seja, em termos de gênero, não há diferença de percepção entre homens e mulheres sobre os benefícios sociais advindos da carcinicultura. De forma análoga, não se observa diferença de percepção sobre os benefícios sociais da atividade entre as diferentes faixas de escolaridade, idade e renda familiar da população entrevistada

Viabilidade econômica de manejos nutricionais na cultura de banana

O manejo adequado da adubação, visando à otimização da produtividade e qualidade dos frutos, é uma etapa representativa do processo produtivo para rentabilidade do empreendedor rural. Neste contexto, objetivou-se analisar a viabilidade econômica de cinco tipos de manejo nutricional de bananeiras de cultivares do subgrupo Cavendish, na região do Médio Paranapanema (SP), em 2009/2010. Foram utilizadas estruturas do custo operacional efetivo (COE) e custo operacional total (COT) e três indicadores de rentabilidade. Diferenças significativas foram observadas entre os manejos, sendo que o sistema de manejo que resultou em maior vantagem econômica para o produtor proporcionou índice médio de lucratividade 25,6% superior aos demais tratamentos, além de a receita líquida total ser, em média, 29,5% superior aos outros tipos de manejo. O custo por unidade produzida foi inferior no manejo nutricional mais lucrativo, apesar de a produtividade ter sido 9,5% inferior ao manejo que apresentou os maiores índices de produtividade.

Desempenho da cultura do milho (Zea mays L.) em sucessão com aveia-preta (Avena strigosa Schreb.) sob manejos agroflorestal e tradicional

O experimento foi conduzido na área agrícola da Associação Brasileira de Agricultura Biodinâmica, no Município de Botucatu, SP. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho da cultura do milho (Zea mays L.), variedade AL 30, em sucessão com aveia-preta (Avena strigosa Schreb.), em um sistema agroflorestal em aleias com Leucaena diversifolia (Schlecht.) Bentham e em um sistema agrícola tradicional, seguindo-se um delineamento estatístico de blocos casualizados. Os tratamentos utilizados, em ambos os sistemas, foram: T - Testemunha; F - Fertilizante; B - Biomassa da poda das aleias de L. diversifolia; e B+F - Biomassa da poda de L. diversifolia + Fertilizante. Os parâmetros avaliados foram os rendimentos de matéria seca de aveiapreta, produtividade média de grãos de milho, massa de 100 grãos de milho, altura da planta de milho e altura de inserção da espiga. Os resultados foram semelhantes aos relatados por outros autores. Concluiu-se que ambos os sistemas apresentaram viabilidade do ponto de vista produtivo e que o uso de biomassa pode substituir parcial ou totalmente a fertilização química.

Aplicação superficial de escória, lama cal, lodos de esgoto e calcário na cultura da soja

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação superficial de lodos de esgoto, lama cal, escória de aciaria e calcário sobre o estado nutricional e a produtividade da soja, em sistema plantio direto.

O Desenvolvimento local sustentável no semi-árido nordestino: um estudo de caso na comunidade de mirandas, Caraúbas/RN

Brazil s semi-arid region is an immense territory characterized by a mosaic of natural environments and human settlements. Inside this multifaceted framework, there are problems that are specific to the region (the water resources situation, for example) while others are more universal (such as the inequality between men and women). The circumstances that give rise to these problems are complex and require a holistic view so that our understanding can go beyond the simple concept that this is a problem region . The semi-arid must be perceived as a viable area in need of a new analysis, taking into account its successes, limitations, challenges and the strategic public policy framework that guarantees its sustainable development. The dissertation analyzes, from a sustainable local development perspective, the experience of the Northeastern Brazil Groundwater Project (PROASNE), carried out from 2001 to 2003, in partnership with the Waters and Sewers Company of Rio Grande do Norte (CAERN) in the rural community of Mirandas, municipality of Caraúbas/RN, situated in the middle of the northeastern Brazil semi-arid region

Viabilidade da cultura Cnidoscolus quercifolius POHL para produção de Biodiesel no semiárido nordestino

The northeastern semiarid is a region that presents a serious picture stagnation or slowness of the economic growth, beyond the presence of social pointers below of the averages national and regional. The half-dryness conditions become the improper region for many agricultural cultures, what it affects the local populations directly, as well as the economy that is based mainly on agriculture. Cnidoscolus quercifolius Pohl, popularly know as favelone is a native species of the semiarid region that withholds great potential for the development of the region in virtue of its multiple uses. Being an oleaginous, its production in familiar farmings makes with that biodiesel either for the misery an important alternative eradication for the possibility of occupation of enormous contingents of people. The present study it aims at to evaluate the germination of the faveleira without thorns under conditions of water and saline stresses, main stresses which the vegetal species of the semiarid one are submitted; beyond verifying the acceptance of the species for agriculturists of a cooperative in the city of Apodi/RN. The methodology used for germination corresponds to using treatments with polyethylene glycol and sodium chloride to assess water and salt stress respectively, being held in rolo. O system approach used for the verification of acceptance of faveleira was the use of interview with farmers cooperative in the study area determined. In this direction it was verified that the faveleira is a resistant species the conditions of drought and salinity of the ground, factor of great relevance, since one is about a species with high added value, making possible the development for the semiarid region. It was verified that the agriculturists are favorable the introduction of the faveleira and reveal receptive the idea to cultivate a species with potential for production of biodiesel
