Ações e percepções de desenvolvimento sustentável na emergência de territórios

Neste artigo analisam-se aspectos relativos às perspectivas e à participação de atores em processos suscitados pelos desafios do uso social e da conservação dos recursos naturais em áreas protegidas na Amazônia Brasileira. No âmbito de um processo de territorialização, observa-se, particularmente, a implantação de um projeto de alternativa econômica na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Amanã, Unidade de Conservação localizada no Estado do Amazonas. Como são percebidas e como e em que condições participam grupos sociais - residentes tradicionais, pesquisadores e intervencionistas - informados na idéia de desenvolvimento sustentável, em um contexto de ambientalização, compõem aqui a questão, o desafio, remetendo tanto para a crença quanto para as reticências à promessa do Desenvolvimento.

Análise da implantação das certificações ambientais LEED e AQUA: estudo de caso em alguns empreendimentos

Given the large potential impact that the construction industry has on the environment and the need to reduce environmental degradation , environmental certifications are important tools of environmental management. This work deals with the environmental certifications of sustainable buildings LEED and AQUA . This project employed the method of exploratory research to identify the requirements that impose the greatest difficulties in the implementation of LEED and AQUA , surveying the reasons for the choice of certification to be deployed and to analyzing the main benefits perceived by certified organizations. Concepts related to the topic were obtained from the literature, leading to the development of a questionnaire that was applied in organizations that have gone through the above certifications . From the analysis of questionnaires, it was possible to highlight that the main reasons for the adoption of an environmental certificate in the construction industry are linked to economic issues such as greater market recognition and appreciation of the project and what is still needed to invest in environmental awareness industry and the whole society

Proposta para a implantação de uma trilha interpretativa com bases na Pedagogia Waldorf na Floresta Estadual Edmundo Navarro de Andrade - Rio Claro, SP

At a time when people turn increasingly to technological innovations and virtual networks, a closer interaction with the environment can provide sensitizing experiences. One tool that facilitates this approach is the interpretative trail: its use in a Unit of Conservation (UC) allows more contact between the visitor and the nature elements. This research aimed to propose the establishment of an interpretative trail at the State Florest “Edmundo Navarro de Andrade” (FEENA) in Rio Claro (SP) with theoretical bases from Waldorf Pedagogy. The proposed trail is destined for students with 07-14 years-old, a period that the awareness is more accurate in a person, according to Waldorf tenets. On the path of the trail, we propose some educational activities at the points of interpretation: storytelling about environment; “photograph” the place with a drawing; create a song with sounds produced by the body and by nature elements; blindfold guide and a circle of people to share experiences. The activities aim to provide in the student a close and harmonious contact with oneself, with other people and with the natural world, and also serve as a support for programs of public use and environmental education at UC. The environmental awareness process in the context of FEENA - which has a significant landscape valuation - develops through the sensibilities of exterior and interior world. And also develops with the creation if images, thoughts, feelings and interdependencies relationships. Therefore, the ecologic education allows changes and formation of values and sensitive attitudes to students about the environment

Desidratação de lodo proveniente de ETA através de tubos geotexteis

Currently exists a growing concern for the preservation of the environment Around the world, the environmental awareness in Brazil has strengthened during the past two decades. This concern in Brazil arises from the creation of mechanisms of supervision and punishment on the part of the environmental agencies. In order to meet the pertinent legislation many public and private companies have performed dehydration of waste generated in the process of treatment of industrial effluents, waste water and water treatment in order to reduce transport and disposal costs. The use of geotextile tubes has proven technically and economically feasible to be applied in various situations from water treatment to mining tailings. This work presents the solution adopted for an environmental liability in water treatment plant through the use of geotextile tubes to reduce the water content of the disposal. We evaluated the size distribution curves, Atterberg limits, and chemical composition of the residue. Found high concentrations of aluminum in the waste which would characterize environmental pollution if disposed off directly in nature with no treatment

Diagnóstico dos riscos e impactos ambientais da suinocultura no Ribeirão dos Pinheirinhos, município de Torrinha, (SP)

The porcine activity is characterized by its great pollution capacity, generally produce loads of waste that usually are released in superficial water or soil without concern for the consequences to the environment. With this in mind, this study aimed to adjust the porcine production to the protection of water resources, in particular, Ribeirão dos Pinheirinhos in the town of Torrinha (SP), through inventory and diagnosis of the environmental impacts already present and environmental hazards linked to the activity in question. To achieve the proposed objectives, the productions of porcine on the studied area were raised and georeferenced, viewed and analyzed according to the technical and scientific literature. The production visited showed to be at odds with the protection of water resources due to lack of technical criteria in the development of treatment systems and waste handling, indiscriminate use of effluent and waste in the fertilization of crops and the lack of knowledge of producers on the influence of porcine waste into the environment. Based on these results, were set guidelines for action in the environmental awareness of farmers, to stimulate voluntary and conscious initiatives of environmental conservation in the direction of settlement of the activity.

A necessidade da formação da consciência ambiental na sociedade contemporânea: um estudo sobre as relações dialéticas entre o ser humano, a natureza e a cultura na obra de Ítalo Calvino

The present work has for objective to analyze the issue of training environmental awareness and its role in contemporary society. With the alarming scenario of degradation and environmental imbalance , political, social and non-governmental institutions have established the urgent need for an education that make changes in social behavior in relation to the environment. With this design is establishing environmental education, however the economic , financial and social scenario in which is inserted dismantles its effectiveness , since the transformations of modernity incited alienation, reification , individualization , indifference and consumerism . In this juncture it is noticed that environmental education needs to be analyzed by the perspective of a man in critical reflection of the capitalist structure. Given this need , it is proposed to reading Italo Calvino's work , since it approach the whole context of modern man , with his ailments , anxiety, exploitation , selfishness and destructive action of itself, others and the environment in living

How to progress from discourse to practice? a new agenda for change in medical schools into the next decade

In the context of medical school instruction, the segmented approach of a focus on specialties and excessive use of technology seem to hamper the development of the professional-patient relationship and an understanding of the ethics of this relationship. The real world presents complexities that require multiple approaches. Engagement in the community where health competence is developed allows extending the usefulness of what is learned. Health services are spaces where the relationship between theory and practice in health care are real and where the social role of the university can be revealed. Yet some competencies are still lacking and may require an explicit agenda to enact. Ten topics are presented for focus here: environmental awareness, involvement of students in medical school, social networks, interprofessional learning, new technologies for the management of care, virtual reality, working with errors, training in management for results, concept of leadership, and internationalization of schools. Potential barriers to this agenda are an underinvestment in ambulatory care infrastructure and community-based health care facilities, as well as in information technology offered at these facilities; an inflexible departmental culture; and an environment centered on a discipline-based medical curriculum.

Potencial do controle biológico para o controle de Pseudoplusia includens (Walker, 1857) e Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner, 1818 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) em soja

The soybean (Glycine max) is of great importance to national economic scenario being a major Brazilian agribusiness products. In most regions, the caterpillar-of-soy (Anticarsia gemmatalis) and caterpillar-false-Medideira (Pseudoplusia includes), act as defoliators, with the highest incidence, usually during the growing season, until the end of flowering, and thus causing a significant reduction in the production, which requires control measures. Due to market demands and the large external environmental awareness exists today, the methods of ecological management have been highlighted in modern agriculture. The use of chemical insecticides, besides being harmful to the environment and man, is, in most cases, the high cost to the farmer. The biological pest control using natural enemies can be used as an alternative control method. Thus this literature review is intended to provide the updated information about these pests and biological control as an alternative form of control, as well as one more tool in the integrated pest of soybean.

PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORDS — THEIR IMPORTANCE IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE BIRD MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS

We are living in a day of change. Environmental awareness is a part of our everyday life in a way unprecedented in history. The courts, in their infinite wisdom, have initiated the joint and several liability (deep pocket) rules that make everyone at risk in almost all situations. Bird management programs, by their very nature, are extremely sensitive. Any project, if not evaluated, planned, carried out, and documented properly can result in adverse regulatory agency action, bad publicity, and even fines or lawsuits. Proper photographic documentation can play a vital part in helping to provide the necessary records to help prevent problems and/or defend yourself in case of lawsuit or regulatory action. In the preparation of this paper, we surveyed state pesticide lead agencies, state Department of Conservation (Fish and Wildlife) agencies, some U.S. Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement personnel, and several individuals to get their reaction to and their comments about this concept of supplemental recordkeeping. Of those responding, a majority thought the concept of supplemental photographic recordkeeping would be an asset to individuals and organi¬zations conducting bird management projects.

A percepção ambiental como instrumento de apoio na gestão e na formulação de políticas públicas ambientais

Este artigo insere-se nos estudos de políticas públicas e gestão ambiental municipal. Tem por objetivo discutir como o uso da percepção ambiental pode ser relevante para a gestão ambiental municipal. O caso de estudo escolhido para guiar esta discussão foi o Distrito de Paranapiacaba e Parque Andreense, Município de Santo André-SP. A metodologia utilizada envolveu aplicação de questionário quali-quantitativo junto à população local, buscando coletar a percepção acerca do meio ambiente e de instrumentos da gestão ambiental local. Os resultados indicaram que o uso da percepção da comunidade pode atuar como uma ferramenta de apoio à gestão do meio ambiente, e subsidiar um processo participativo para uma gestão compartilhada entre poder público e sociedade.

Il Progetto Good Water Neighbors nella pratica quotidiana: il people to people approach alla prova delle comunità israeliane, palestinesi e giordane. L'acqua quale strumento di pace e di empowerment sociale nel quadro del conflitto arabo-israeliano

Il Medio Oriente è una regione in cui le scarse risorse idriche giocano un ruolo fondamentale nei rapporti e nelle relazioni tra gli Stati. Soprattutto nell'area di Israele, Palestina e Giordania la natura transfrontaliera delle fonti idriche condivise è considerata da qualche ricercatore come un catalizzatore del più ampio conflitto arabo-israeliano. Altri studiosi, tuttavia, vedono nella cooperazione regionale sulle risorse idriche un potenziale cammino verso una pace duratura veicolata dalla natura interdipendente delle fonti idriche comuni a più territori. Dato che l'acqua è l'elemento che per molti aspetti contribuisce allo sviluppo sociale ed economico e dato che le fonti idriche sotterranee e di superficie non conoscono confini e si muovono liberamente nel territorio, la cooperazione tra gli Stati rivieraschi delle risorse idriche dovrebbe arrivare a prevalere sul conflitto. Unica nel suo genere, l'ong trilaterale israelo-palestinese giordana Friends of the Earth Middle East, FoEME, ha fatto proprio tale auspicio e dal 1994 punta a sviluppare progetti di cooperazione per la salvaguardia del patrimonio naturale dell'area del bacino del fiume Giordano e del Mar Morto. Attraverso l'esperienza del Progetto Good Water Neighbors, GWN, avviato nel 2002, sta lavorando ad una serie di iniziative nel campo dell'environmental awareness e del social empowerment a favore di comunità  israeliane, palestinesi e giordane transfrontaliere che condividono risorse idriche sotterranee o di superficie. Operando inizialmente a livello locale per identificare i problemi idrico-ambientali di ogni comunità  selezionata e lavorare con i cittadini (ragazzi, famiglie e amministratori municipali) per migliorare la conoscenza idrica locale attraverso attività  di educazione ambientale, di water awareness e piani di sviluppo urbano eco-compatibile, il Progetto GWN ha facilitato a livello transfrontaliero i rapporti tra le comunità  confinanti abbattendo la barriera di sfiducia e sospetto che normalmente impedisce relazioni pacifiche, ha coadiuvato l'analisi dei problemi idrici comuni cercando di risolverli attraverso uno sforzo programmatico condiviso e sostenibile, per giungere infine a livello regionale ad incoraggiare la gestione idrica comune attraverso lo scambio di informazioni, il dialogo e lo sforzo/impegno cooperativo congiunto tra gli attori parte del GWN al fine di incentivare la pace attraverso l'interesse comune della tutela delle fonti idriche condivise. Gli approcci di local development e participation, le azioni di confidence building e il peacebuilding attraverso la tutela ambientale applicati con il metodo di bottom up all'interno di un contesto non pacificato come quello del conflitto arabo-israeliano, fanno del Progetto GWN un esperimento innovativo e originale. Le comunità  israeliane, palestinesi e giordane selezionate hanno imparato a migliorare le proprie condizioni idrico-ambiennali cooperando assieme e sfruttando l'interdipendenza dalle fonti idriche condivise, avviando nel contempo rapporti pacifici con società  sempre considerate nemiche. La sfida è stata quella di far comprendere le potenzialità  di una cooperazione locale, in vista di un coordinamento regionale e di uno sforzo comune in grado di generare un beneficio collettivo. La lezione appresa finora durante questi primi sette anni di Progetto è stata quella di capire che non è necessario attendere la fine del conflitto per poter essere di aiuto alle proprie comunità  o per un benessere personale, ma si può agire subito, anche nel pieno dell'Intifada al-Aqsa e con i coprifuoco.
