INVENTÁRIO ECOTURÍSTICO DA BACIA DO RIO PASSA-CINCO - SP, COM O AUXILIO DE GEOTECNOLOGIAS

O presente estudo foi realizado na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Passa-Cinco, onde existem elementos da paisagem de grande interesse ecoturístico, além de patrimônios naturais que, se preservados e aproveitados mediante ações de gestão ambiental serão potenciais agentes de desenvolvimento sustentável na região. Apesar da área possuir atrativos naturais como cachoeiras, corredeiras, cavernas, canions, lagos, paredões, mirantes, entre outros, indicando alto potencial de uso sustentável do ponto de vista ecoturístico, a região ainda não recebeu investimentos suficientes para que toda a diversidade paisagística seja usufruída. Portanto, este trabalho tem o objetivo de elaborar um Inventario Ecoturístico da Bacia do Rio Passa-Cinco, inserido nos municípios de Itirapina-SP e Ipeúna-SP, utilizando ferramentas de Geoprocessamento. Para tanto, realizou-se um trabalho de campo com visita aos locais que apresentam valor cênico considerável e potencial ecoturístico. Os locais identificados e visitados foram caracterizados usando fotografias, textos explicativos, tabelas e MDTs (Modelo Digital de Terreno). A integração destas informações constitui um Banco de Dados Geográfico Digital Georreferenciado (BDGDG) em ambiente ArcGIS 9.0, disponível em http://ceapla.rc.unesp.br/atlas/. Os resultados obtidos subsidiam ações de gestão ambiental, como o planejamento ecoturístico na bacia, favorecendo o desenvolvimento sustentável das comunidades envolvidas.

Proposta de mosaico de unidades de conservação para o continuum ecológico de Paranapiacaba (SP): estratégia de conservação possível ?

Em decorrência dos crescentes problemas ambientais e da perda de biodiversidade, diversas discussões tem ocorrido em todo o mundo com o objetivo de criar estratégias que solucionem ou minimizem tais problemas. O estabelecimento de áreas de proteção consiste em uma das estratégias já consagradas entretanto, sua concepção como ilhas isoladas tem se apresentado cada vez mais ineficiente. Reconhecendo as inter-dependências dos processos ecológicos, que se apresentam em diferentes escalas, tem crescido a concepção de gestão territorial integrada para as áreas de proteção, nas quais o manejo dos recursos naturais consideram, igualmente, a preservação da biodiversidade, o incentivo ao desenvolvimento sustentável e a valorização das dimensões sociais. Dentre os instrumentos propiciam a gestão integrada dos recursos naturais, tem-se os mosaicos de UC. No Brasil, os escassos remanescentes de Mata Atlântica representam áreas de grande preocupação ambiental, uma vez que estes ainda abrigam considerável parcela da biodiversidade mundial. O continnum ecológico de Paranapiacaba é um dos maiores e mais importantes remanescentes de Mata Atlântica e é composto por diversas UCs. Diante deste contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as possibilidades e limites de uma proposta de criação de um Mosaico de UC na região deste continuum ecológico. Para tanto documentos diversos foram analisados e foram realizadas entrevistas com os gestores das UCs e com os moradores dos bairros localizados no entorno destas UCs. Percebeu-se que a relação entre os moradores do entorno e as UCs ainda precisam ser estreitadas, a fim de tornar estas UCs espaços de relevante interesse e utilização para os moradores auxiliando na resolução dos conflitos existentes. Os gestores entrevistados apontaram diversas vantagens da gestão integrada e acreditam que no continuum ecológico de Paranapiacaba existam diversos fatores favoráveis

Projeto de Escola Infantil Sustentável em Bauru

The inclusion of sustainability practices in the construction is a growing trend. This propensity to sustainability takes place from the 1980’s due to the concern about the scarcity of natural resources and damages caused by the men to the environment. Another upward sector in the architecture business is the environmental psychology. The understanding of the environment and it’s planning and adaptation to meet the real user’s needs are essential factors to build an widely used and comfortable environment. An environment can only be considered complete when it meets the real user’s needs. Sustainability related themes as well as environmental psychology are highlighted in the discussions about the projects as fundamental factors to the environment’s quality. This work seeks the development of an kindergarten school, conceptually grounded in researches and analysis of school environments, playful projects and sustainability in the built environment, aiming its use in the city of Bauru. The project will be built from the understanding of the human behavior and in search of an sustainable architecture

Tecnologias, conceitos e propostas de materiais de construção sustentável do Centro de Vivências da UNESP, Rio Claro/SP

Due to the great impact caused by construction, the university has a major role in the development of alternative projects and studies aimed at sustainable development. This project presents the advantages and importance of building in a sustainable manner from the beginning to end of the Center of Experiences at UNESP, Rio Claro / SP. It will be presented alternative building materials that have high environmental performance and that bring the least negative impacts as possible. Providing a Center of Experiences through a sustainable building is in need of the university to renovate the new trends of society in which the construction is in harmony with the environment in which it is inserted. This sustainable building will serve as a model for students and residents of Rio Claro, since the building itself will serve as a way of learning to the audience goer, as well as for the other campuses of UNESP. Thus, this project will serve as a guide for decision makers facing the huge amount of building materials available in the market

A questão do desenvolvimento: um estudo de abordagens recentes

This paper examines different ways to perceive and understand the development. More precisely, it seeks to do so by authors who have alternative views about the economic variables as a development objective. The study deals with three different approaches, emphasizing the instruments and the public policy objectives of development that they propose. To do so, relies on original texts of important authors who have recently contributed to the production of different concepts related to the topic.

Dos limites do crescimento econômico ao crescimento sustentável: a proposta do decrescimento e seus desafios

This study aims to assess the evolution of the environmental debate, starting by the contextualization of its first appearance, and perform a theoretical and methodological analysis of its ramifications, especially regarding the two main lines of thought in economics: environmental economics and ecological economics. Once confirmed the incompatibility of economic growth per se with the environmental limits, the degrowth proposal will be presented, its theoretical basis and especially the means by which its creators aim to promote a economic, politic and social restructuring. Finally, the challenges regarding the degrowth implementation on both the developed Northern economies and the third-world or emerging Southern countries will be exposed

Valoração do tratamento de efluentes de um curtume

During the production process of leather a lot of water is used. In addition, companies such as tanneries have high pollution potential. The effluent that is not properly treated , and it is irregularly released in water bodies can cause negative impacts to the environment and generate fines. The aim of this paper is to present the importance of environmental valuation in the effluent treatment system of a tannery, in order to add social and economic development with preservation of environmental quality. A valuation of inputs and outputs of the effluent treatment process from Tannery Bull in Presidente Prudente was made, as well as a proposal to improve the treatment and its valuation. Many of these industries do not account the costs from the effluent treatment and end up spending what could have been avoided. The management of environmental costs promotes sustainable development. Thus, we can conclude that, if there were better control and also an improved management of the tannery, the proposed treatment would bring economic improvement to the company and specially it would not cause much impact on the environment, including improving the quality of life in the region
