As estações ferroviárias do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba e suas interfaces: história e conservação

The implementation of the railway in Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba helped to develop the area and connexion with other states: São Paulo, Goiás and Mato Grosso. The railway used to transport people and goods throughout many train stations in urban and rural areas and some major railroad complexes. There were many factors that led to the decline and abandonment of these properties: governmental policies which were in favour of road transportation and automotive industry, the replacement of the steam locomotive for electric and electric-diesel locomotives, changing part of the railway plan, removal of railways and loss of function of the buildings, extinction of passenger trains, which led the stations to lose its main purpose: people transport. 53% of the stations built inside the study area were demolished and most of them are in rural areas. There are several situations: stations on a precarious conservation state, most of them in the city s rural area, stations being used in urban and rural areas with new uses, stations working with cargo and goods transportation. The stations in Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba area in Minas Gerais are the object of this dissertation, wherein the main interest lies on the stations that are in operation, 21 buildings, seeking to verify their conservation state, their agents and role in preserving the train memory. Maps, charts and tables were made for this collection s understanding, having visited the stations that are listed by the cultural heritage and the ones that are in operation with new functions. Field records were made allowing the understanding of these properties in operation. It is observed that only the buildings listing, despite ensuring the non-demolition, does not help on the use and preservation of these stations, because there are some buildings that have this protection level, but are abandoned and in disrepair. The use of these stations by a train company, operating with cargo and goods transportation do not also guarantee the buildings preservation, as they are not treated with any preservation interest, their maintenance are precarious. The using by these companies are various, however, only a few stations have internal spaces dedicated to the railroad memory. Most of the stations did not have preservation projects with architects and specialists participation and the major concern, during maintenance process, is on the building s external part. The stations conservation begins on the local government interest, that preserve these properties, most of them are in urban areas, the major challenge is on their using definition and occupancy, especially in the countryside, wherein the buildings uses must be sustainable, as regards the appreciation and management of this heritage.

Percepção ambiental como ferramenta diagnóstica para o processo de integração entre uma unidade de conservação e a comunidade do entorno

It is remarkable the current planet’s situation of degradation and modification of natural assets and the considerable loss of the recovery power inherent to the ecosystems. Concomitant with this, all communities and species are suffering the consequences of these changes without planning. The creation of conservation units (UCs) through the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC) was a concrete action on the deliberateness of halting these processes, which, on the other hand, generated socio-environmental, geo-economical and cultural-political conflict of interests between traditional communities in the vicinity of these units, institutions, governmental entities and society in general. The country’s National Program of Environmental Education (ProNEA) provides the integration of the communities and UCs’ managers in a co-participative administration to solve these conflicts. The principles of Environmental Education (EA) leads the methodology found to change the socio-educational paradigms of traditional teaching, still existing in our society and intrinsically related to environmental problems, which are contrary to the dialogic pedagogy from Paulo Freire, that valorize popular knowledge, pro-active citizenship, as well as contrary to Ecopedagogy, that re-integrate human being on its natural environment, the Earth. One of the tools for starting environmental sensitization is the diagnosis by environmental perception of individuals. In this context, the objective of our work was to identify the environmental perception of Tenda do Moreno community located nearby Pau Furado State Park (PEPF) in Uberlândia – MG. To reach this objective, the research sought, in a first moment, to evaluate the environmental perception of residents of this community through semi-structured interviews applied in their homes and, in a second moment, we evaluated the environmental perception of community’ school students and made Environmental Education intervention activities with the intention to make children aware of the importance of conservation and function of PEPF. Using the Content analysis methodology, we found in nearly 60% of the 118 residents a systemic perception of nature, while approximately 32% expressed an anthropocentric perception. Mixed perceptions were found in 21%. A considerable part of the residents (47 individuals) indicated not knowing the park, although many of them recognize its importance. Among the 46 interviewed students, half expressed an anthropocentric perception of nature, while almost 36% had a systemic view. Seventeen children said they did not know the park and almost half of the students recognize some aspect of the importance of its existence. During the intervention activities, we had huge participation and dedication of students, beyond the massive expression of their personal views and daily experiences. In relation to the ten students that subjected the second evaluation about their environmental perception after the intervention, 80% showed systemic perception and emphasized the importance of conservation and of park. We believe that the continuity of the intervention activities could generate positive perspectives of socio-environmental effective changes in the daily school. Activities lead by Ecopedagogy and that encourage the citizen leadership in the young students are fundamental, while in the community, closer ties and dialog by UC’s managers would be important elements to generate effective change.

El autocuidado y apoyo social de mujeres de un proyecto de seguimiento mamográfico en Porto Alegre/Brasil

Objective: Identify preventive self-care practices and analyze the configurations of the network support for women with and without breast cancer registered in a mammography-monitoring project from Porto Alegre/Brazil.Method: a mixed sequential delimitation was performed, which expanded the results of the quantitative step (cross and correlation section) in a qualitative step (narrative interviews). 37 women diagnosed with breast cancer (group 1) and 72 without this diagnosis (group 2 – monitoring) participated. The following instruments were used: Assessment Questionnaire Self-care Ability (ASA-A) and Assessment Questionnaire Perceived Social Support and Community. There were performed descriptive analysis and comparison of means (t test and ANOVA) between the two groups. To deepen the understanding of the data, we selected four women with breast cancer with extreme levels on the scale of Social Support to participate in the biographical narrative interviews.Results: the analysis indicate that women who had breast cancer have better self-care practices than the women from the monitoring project (t = 1.791, P = 0.027). As for the analysis of social support, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. All participants have an average level of perceived social and community support. It was highlighted by the qualitative data that it was after the diagnosis of breast cancer that women lived self-care aspects they had not previously experienced.Conclusions: the self-care was significantly bigger in the group of women with breast cancer, where the cancer diagnosis was a trigger to increase self-care.

Examples of “land stewarship” in Brazil. The “Projecto Sempre Viva” (Mucugê-Bahia)

In recent years the concept of "Land Stewardship" has gained a great importance. In short, it means that local entities and individuals can protect enclave of high ecological and cultural value. This vision has been effective in some places in the world with success. For example, the “Projeto Sempre Viva”, created in the town of Mucugê, a place located in one of Brazil´s most renowned Natural Protected Areas: the Chapada Diamantina (State of Bahia). We had looked over the available information about this project on the Internet, as well as a personal visit that was made to the site to know it and to have the possibility to talk to their managers. On this basis, it has been reached to the conclusion that this project, born to protect a Sempre Viva´s endemic species in danger of extinction, has turned into an important site for tourism and environmental education, completed with the preservation of the cultural identity of this region which is linked to diamond mining.

Turismo cultural na ZEPH-Ribeira: possibilidades e limitações

Considering that urban interventions, planned and executed recently at Natal, RN, should put Ribeira - one of the town centers - in the new limits of the expanded center of the city, this work examines the use of this new accessibility for the benefit of the development of an infrastructure to support a type of tourism currently seen as an alternative to diversification into areas dominated by entertainment tourism (the case of Natal). A local with city's traditional cultural facilities and holder of a set built that is a synthesis of the images of the neighborhood, it fears that this increase in the potential for movement and flows of use stimulate speculation and deployment of a bulk type of activity incompatible with the preservation the architectural heritage. Important economy for the city, tourism has been showing a factor propellant processing urban related changes in accessibility. It is argued that cultural tourism, often used in plans and projects of revitalization across the country, may be factor for sustainable development and conserve the assets, and contributes to the process of revitalization of the historic cultural center as Ribeira. Intended to illustrate the need to consider other information that might help in the revitalization of the neighborhood, this research presents the offer cultural tourism of Ribeira and identifies and maps certain physical attributes that, combined with functional attributes, can stimulate or inhibit the diversity and vitality in the region

Leguminosae na Unidade de Conservação Refúgio de Vida Silvestre Pedra da Andorinha, Sobral, Ceará, Brasil

Leguminosae com cerca de 650 gêneros e 19.000 espécies compreende a terceira maior família de angiospermas, superada apenas por Orchidaceae (20.000 spp.) e Asteraceae (24.000 spp.). Para o Brasil, são citados 222 gêneros e 2.803 espécies distribuídas nos diversos domínios fitogeográficos, e para região Nordeste estão registradas 1.085 espécies em 168 gêneros. No Ceará, são reportadas 340 espécies em 105 gêneros, dos quais Mimosa L. (26 spp.) é o mais diversificado. No bioma Caatinga, é a principal família de fanerógamas com 83 gêneros e 354 espécies, muitas das quais com diversas potencialidades de uso. Em virtude da importância deste táxon no contexto do semiárido, objetivou-se com este trabalho catalogar as Leguminosae ocorrentes em uma área de Caatinga no distrito de Taperuaba, Sobral, Ceará. O estudo foi realizado na Unidade de Conservação Refúgio de Vida Silvestre Pedra da Andorinha, localizada a 70 km da sede municipal e possuindo aproximadamente 600 ha. A área é composta por Caatinga em duas fitofisionomias: uma terrícola e outra rupícola. As expedições de coletas foram realizadas entre março/2015 e março/2016. Os espécimes foram identificados com o auxílio de literatura e sites especializados. O material encontra-se depositado no acervo do Herbário Prof. Francisco José de Abreu Matos (HUVA). Foram catalogadas 15 espécies em oito gêneros: Mimosa (4 spp.), Chamaecrista Moench (3 spp.), Poincianella Britton & Rose (2 spp.). Bauhinia L., Centrosema (DC.) Benth., Desmodium Desv., Senna Mill., Stylosanthes Sw. e Zornia J.F. Gmel. apresentaram uma espécie cada. Dentre as espécies coletadas, duas apresentam propriedades medicinais: B. forficata (Vogel) Fortunato & Wunderlin e M. tenuiflora (Willd.) Poir. Centrosema pascuorum Mart. ex Benth, Mimosa pudica (Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd.) DC., Stylosathes humilis Kunth e Zornia cearensis Huber são tratadas como invasoras de cultivos. Entre as espécies com alto potencial forrageiro, estão Chamaecrista linearis (H.S. Irwin & Barneby) Afr. Fern. & E.P. Nunes e Desmodium tortuosum (Sw.) DC. Por outro lado, Senna obtusifolia (L.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby, é tóxica aos bovinos. Alguns estudos ainda sugerem que os extratos das raízes de Poincianella bracteosa (Tul.) L.P. Queiroz possuem atividade biológica sobre larvas de Aedes aegypti. Diante dos resultados, verificou-se que Leguminosae é a família mais representativa da área de estudo e que 11 espécies apresentaram algum uso ou potencialidade econômica.

TURISMO E AUTENTICIDADE EM CIDADES PATRIMÓNIO MUNDIAL: O GRAU DE SATISFAÇÃO DO TURISTA CULTURAL NA CIDADE DE ÉVORA (PORTUGAL)

As Cidades Património Mundial são um elemento fundamental para a captação de turistas e visitantes. O estatuto de ‘Património Mundial’ faz com que estas cidades, com a chancela da UNESCO, funcionem como uma distinção simbólica para atraírem turistas que procuram conhecer e experienciar uma cultura com autenticidade e a história de um outro povo. A cidade de Évora foi classificada, em 1986, pela UNESCO como Património Mundial devido, especialmente, ao seu centro histórico que contempla características arquitetónicas singulares. O turista cultural apresenta diferentes motivações que podem estar associadas a questões sociais, pessoais e educativas. São as motivações do turista cultural ligadas aos atributos culturais do destino que contribuem para o seu grau de satisfação. Compreender o processo da satisfação do turista cultural em cidades património mundial é fundamental para o futuro de um destino turístico. O presente artigo pretende identificar o grau de satisfação global do turista e/ou visitante na cidade de Évora.

Hovenia dulcis (uva-do-japão) no sul do Brasil: invasão, cultura e alteração da paisagem.

Resumo: Em virtude dos impactos ambientais causados, as espécies exóticas invasoras (EEl's) tem se tornado foco de muitos estudos nas Ciências Biológicas. Entretanto, muitas EEl's tem a sua presença não evitada em novos ambientes, pois o homem e, muitas vezes, o principal vetor de dispersão, especial mente de espécies de plantas invasoras. Neste trabalho, e discutida a hipótese de uma forte influencia cultural na introdução/expansão da uva-do-Japão nesta região e o problemático cenário de invasão da espécie no sul do Brasil. Palavras-chave: espécies exóticas invasoras (EEl's); alteração da paisagem; Hovenia dulcis (uva-do-japão); cultura. Abstract: Invasive species (IS) have become focus on many studies in Biological Sciences because of environmental damages. However, the presence of lAS's is not prevented in new areas, because humans are often the main vector of dispersion, especially invasive plant species. In this work, the hypothesis of a strong cultural influence is discussed on the introduction/expansion of Japanese raisin tree in this region and the problematic scenario of invasion in southern Brazil. Keywords: invasive species (IS's); landscape changes; Hovenia dulcis ; (Japanese raisin tree); culture.

RELAÇÕES ENTRE PATRIMÔNIO PÚBLICO E PRIVADO: UNIDADES DE CONSERVAÇÃO E A ATIVIDADE TURÍSTICA

O artigo realiza análise sobre processo de privatização e a produção do espaço com a implantação de Unidades de Conservação, foi delimitado para esta reflexão um tipo de Unidade de Conservação - Parque Nacional ‑ especificamente o Parque Nacional da Serra da Bodoquena no Mato Grosso do Sul esta sendo utilizado como área de reflexão buscando discutir no concreto o processo de desapropriação de áreas privadas para a implantação de Unidade de Conservação e, contraditoriamente, a privatização do patrimônio natural, que é um processo universal e que localmente aparece como alternativa ao desenvolvimento centrado na agropecuária. A passagem do privado para o público aparentemente é um avanço em relação ao processo geral de mercantilização da natureza. Mas, no caso especifico das Unidades de Conservação o circulo se completa com o retorno ao ponto inicial, a privatização do patrimônio natural, agora não mais da propriedade da terra, mas ao uso da terra e da paisagem enquanto atrativo turístico.

A INFLUÊNCIA GEOTURÍSTICA E AMBIENTAL DO GEOPARK ARARIPE NO GEOSSÍTIO COLINA DO HORTO, CEARÁ/BRASIL

A pesquisa acima intitulada objetiva analisar a influência do Geoparque no Geossítio Colina do Horto desde a visão geoturística e ambiental bem como as políticas de conservação para essa área. Localizado no Sul do Estado do Ceará, Brasil, na Região do Complexo Sedimentar do Araripe, os geossítios selecionados contêm rochas, sedimentos e fósseis, correspondentes aos diferentes períodos geológicos. A metodologia adotada se deu com o levantamento in loco, diagnosticando as potencialidades geoturísticas, o espaço, paisagem, além de pesquisas em literatura específica. O geossítio Colina do Horto, objeto da pesquisa, se encontra na Serra do Horto em Juazeiro do Norte/Ceará, onde está situado também o monumento do Pe. Cícero. Este geossítio é de suma importância por ser uma área de interesse cultural, turístico e religioso. Identifica-se uma presença maciça de romeiros para cultuar suas devoções ao Padre, é ocupado por comerciantes, vendedores e os moradores do entorno. É necessária a conservação ambiental, planejamento, arborização e uma melhor ocupação do espaço, pois trata-se de área de visitação e pesquisa.
