A Amazônia no século 21: novas formas de desenvolvimento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-12) LOUREIRO, Violeta Refkalefsky
This paper focuses on the following question: is it viable to think of another form of an alternative development for the brazilian Amazon - in relation to the hegemonic way - under which the region inhabitants and nature are not excessively exploited, nature better conserved and social conflicts reduced? As an answer, the study seeks to analyze the viability of constructing a fairer and more dignified life for all, based on parameters of different developments, and therefore alternatives in relation to the parameters defined and imposed by the hegemonic model currently practiced by the western world, which has demonstrated to be indifferent to the innumerous mistakes and evils that spread along countries and peripheral regions. This is not about denying the existence of a globalization process underway and its impacts, especially those on the peripheral regions; but to believe that despite it, it is possible to concurrently develop positive and very significant changes in favor of the region and its people, as long as there is a mobilization of the many internal forces and the Amazon available resources.

Cidade de Belém e natureza: uma relação problemática?
(Núcleo de Altos Estudos Amazônicos, 2010-07) LOUREIRO, Violeta Refkalefsky; BARBOSA, Estêvão José da Silva
In an unstoppable and rapid manner, Belém is losing it’s urban green. This loss presents itself with unique characteristics when compared to other Brazilian cities, that equally suffer from the urban speculation and the chaotic occupancy of the land. The mango trees – witch are listed as part of the State’s patrimony as common goods and must be permanently preserved – are actually the most endangered species, no longer characterizing Belém as the mango tree’s city. Besides, differently from the other capitals, where the private sector has been the most res ponsible for the environment damage, in Belém, actions and omissions of the government to the city are more important to the deterioration of the urban landscape, it’s green areas and waters than the private sector.
