Subsídios a construção do plano de manejo da bacia hidrogáfica do Rio Irituia no município de Irituia-Pará

A utilização dos recursos naturais de forma irracional tem causado uma preocupação crescente em todas as regiões do planeta. Sugerir estratégias que compatibilize o desenvolvimento com preservação desses recursos torna se o principal desafio da gestão ambiental. Os recursos hídricos por serem amplamente utilizados e essenciais à vida necessitam de gerenciamento para garantir sua manutenção. No município de Irituia, localizado no nordeste paraense, a ação antrópica na paisagem natural, inclusive na mata ciliar (Área de Preservação Permanente), para produção agrícola, pastagem ou extração madeireira, tem ocasionado sérios problemas ambientais e socioeconômicos, como o assoreamento de rios, isolamento nas comunidades, prejuízo causados com as constantes enchentes dos rios, entre outros. A população local, juntamente com o poder publico municipal, reconhecem o dano ambiental e social causado nas diversas comunidades do município com anos de desmatamento, desta forma esta pesquisa fornece subsídios para elaboração do plano de gerenciamento da bacia hidrográfica no rio Irituia fornecendo instrumentos e ações sócio educacionais para reverter o quadro de degradação e propor a recuperação deste importante ecossistema.

Urbanização, turismo e seus impactos nos recursos naturais no município de Ilhabela - SP

The urbanization process in the Brazilian cities is directly linked to its main economic activities, and causes several impacts on the natural resources. It can be seen at the city of Ilhabela, an archipelago located at the north coast of the state of São Paulo, that still has a great area of preserved Atlantic Rainforest, and where today the tourism is the main economic activity. With this in sight, this paper aimed to make a prospect of the current situation of the city, looking at the main aspects of its economic and urban development and the environmental impacts related to them. Among the aspects studied, are the irregular occupations at preservation areas on the island: the pressure on the sea ecosystems by the fishing and the boat circulation, and at the beaches by the tourists flow. Were also observed the characteristics of the city’s urban infrastructure, such as the water supply, sewer and road networks and the waste collecting. Finally, it was analyzed the way that the government acts over the preservation of the island’s natural resources, by the Municipality and the Ilhabela State Park, so that the acting of these two agents could be compared

Aplicação dos conceitos da ecologia de paisagem para a definição de hotspots de conservação e de conectividade entre o Complexo Cantareira e Nazaré Paulista

The Atlantic Forest biome, reduced to 12% of its original coverage, holds a significant portion of brazilian biodiversity, with high levels of endemism. Among the few remaining areas of the Atlantic, there is the region between the Complex of Cantareira and the municipality of Nazaré Paulista, which will be the object of study of this work. Using the concepts of Landscape Ecology, and analysis of thematic maps, this study aims to characterize the region in a ecologically scaled perspective, identifying two types of hotspots: i) for conservation and ii) for maintain habitat connectivity. Concepts of Landscape Ecology as landscape structure, patches, matrix, corridors (structural and functional) and connectivity, as well as their effects on local biodiversity was adopted and applied in the study region. We also analyzed the effects of roads, hydrographic system, Permanent Protection Areas (PPAs), and Conservation Units for flora and fauna maintenance at regional scale. This allowed us to define strategies and priority areas for the conservation and restoration of forest fragments of Atlantic Forest remnants within the study region. This study generated relevant knowledge for a better planning the region in order to create best conditions for the maintenance of regional biodiversity, and consequently, allowing to improve the quality of life for local population

Diagnóstico ambiental das áreas de expansão urbana do município de Jaguariúna - SP

The spatial chaotic urban growth is an increasing and common problem in Brazilian cities, especially in the State of São Paulo. In order to assist the territorial expansion planning, the present study aimed to conduct the environmental diagnosis of urban expansion areas in the City of Jaguariúna – SP, bounded by the Municipal Plan. From the preparation and analysis of thematic maps, literature review and field analysis, data were collected for use and occupation, geology, geomorphology, pedology, vegetation, water resources and features surrounding the five urban sprawl existing areas. It was noted, in general, that these areas are suitable for urban occupation, since they show flat geomorphology characteristics, with flattened, medium to large hills, slightly undulated, with low slope, and soils that do not present risks to the deployment of buildings, once properly managed. It was also observed a few water bodies crossing these areas and a few areas with native vegetation beyond permanent protection areas along the rivers. By the analysis of these areas and their surroundings, it was possible to determine on which area the urbanization process can occur more quickly. Thus, the study allows the City of Jaguariúna to perform a more effective occupation planning in these areas, always aiming the sustainable development and, consequently, the improvement in population’s quality of life, as well as the maintenance of environmental quality.

Parque dos Macacos: em busca de reconhecimento e urbanidade

This paper aims to discuss the current issues involving urban water courses and, subsequently through the design of an urban park qualify the Permanent Preservation Area of the Córrego dos Macacos, locate in the city of São José do Rio Preto - São Paulo, seeking the population recognition on this living hydric resource and therefore achieve urbanity. For that purpose, we studied the urbanistic planning of the city of São José do Rio Preto regarding the proposed theme and the area of the Córrego dos Macacos valley, one of the segments of the Parque Setorial, in two previous moments as well as some key concepts, starting from a methodology of bibliographic studies analysis. After this analysis, it were determined some general guidelines for the entire extension of the stream, and finally it was chosen a specific segment to formulate proposals for a planned and design space according to the characteristics of the place

CONSERVACIÓN PREVENTIVA DE DOCUMENTOS

Por su carácter constitutivo y al estar frecuentemente expuestos a factores y mecanismos de alteración, los documentos en soporte de papel sufren constantes cambios en su composición física y funcional, lo cual pone en peligro la información consignada en ellos. En países de clima tropical como el nuestro, este riesgo es mucho mayor, ya que las condiciones ambientales propician la aparición más frecuente de agentes adversos a la estructura molecular del papel mismo.Por consiguiente, los funcionarios a cargo de la producción, organización y facilitación de documentos públicos y privados, así como quienes conservan materiales de índole particular, tienen la responsabilidad de crear condiciones ambientales, estructurales y administrativas propicias, con el objeto de garantizar la perdurabilidad de sus acervos documentales para las futuras generaciones.Dado que la cultura costarricense usualmente se enfoca en “apagar el fuego” cuando el incendio está en pleno desarrollo, es que se considera prioritario impulsar y propiciar políticas preventivas para que los documentos que se produzcan en las instituciones públicas, surjan y se conserven en condiciones óptimas para su conservación permanente.

Higher uptake of long-acting reversible and permanent methods of contraception by Australian women living in rural and remote areas

Objectives: To examine factors associated with the uptake of i) long-acting reversible, ii) permanent and iii) traditional contraceptive methods among Australian women. Methods: Participants in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health born in 1973–78 reported on their contraceptive use at three surveys: 2003, 2006 and 2009. The participants were 5,849 women aged 25–30 in 2003 randomly sampled from Medicare. The main outcome measure was current contraceptive method at age 28–33 years categorised as long-acting reversible methods (implant, IUD, injection), permanent (tubal ligation, vasectomy), and traditional methods (oral contraceptive pills, condoms, withdrawal, safe period). Results: Compared to women living in major cities, women in inner regional areas were more likely to use long-acting (OR=1.26, 95%CI 1.03–1.55) or permanent methods (OR=1.43, 95%CI 1.17–1.76). Women living in outer regional/remote areas were more likely than women living in cities to use long-acting (OR=1.65, 95%CI 1.31–2.08) or permanent methods (OR=1.69, 95%CI 1.43–2.14). Conclusions: Location of residence is an important factor in women's choices about long-acting and permanent contraception in addition to the number and age of their children. Implications: Further research is needed to understand the role of geographical location in women's access to contraceptive options in Australia.
