(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016) SOUSA, Rafaela Sales de; GUERRA, Gutemberg Armando Diniz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4262726973211880
The Amazon region of Brazil is wide world renowned for its biodiversity and vast watershed. Despite the abundance of water resources, the region has limitations to access the tools, inherent to a proper management of water use, instituted by public policies, especially in rural areas. By this perspective, it is proposed the study of catchment, treatment and water use in rural communities in the municipality of Igarapé Acu-PA. The objective of this study is to describe how the rural population, located in the watershed of the Igarapé Cumaru, captures, treats and uses water, anchoring on the public policies for this theme. This study is structured in three papers, which describes the catchment practices, treatment and water use and its relation with public policies and norms at the federal, state and municipal scales. The survey was also worried to register how the rural population has managed this resource, describing the uses and abuses of water by the community. It is noteworthy that the three articles are grounded in data collected in the field and in the relevant literature about the theme of study. Therefore, the field research was done with use of tools such as participant observation, scripts, closed questionnaires and open interviews. Data revealed that in the municipality there is no water treatment station, with only the distribution, by the health department, of sodium hypochlorite. But most farmers (100% São José, 72% Cumaru), despite receiving the product does not make use, on the argument that interferes in the water taste. It was also found that the supply microsystems need metering valves. It is highlighted, finally, that there is in the municipality, a limitation in the execution of what regulates the public policies, however, the rural population ─ spatially dispersed, with different needs of water resources ─ should be considered in context.

For such done we work to characterize the typical peasant from Amazon, the riverine, and their strategies for production and social reproduction and their territoriality. Mainly due the açai in recent decades have become a product of high commercial value in domestic and foreign markets. The objective of this analysis was to demonstrate that strategies of collective action, especially cooperatives, is an element that can be worked in order to ensure better living conditions for the riverines and regional markets for its mainly açai products, without losing the ties with the land and strengthening their territoriality.

Institutional development for good governance: the role of intermediary NGOs in Pará state, Amazonia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06) VASCONCELLOS, Ana Maria de Albuquerque; SOBRINHO VASCONCELLOS, Mário
The paper analyses the roles of intermediary NGOs for linkages between government and rural communities in carrying out socio-environmental development programs as a mean of institutional development for good governance. In particular, the paper focuses on the Proambiente program that was carried out in Pará State, Amazonia, Brazil. This program was the first experience of a socio-environmental development program in Brazilian Amazonia that took into account local communities’ demands to link environmental conservation and small-scale family-based rural production. Methodologically, the research was based on qualitative analysis and used semi-structured interviews for data collection. The paper shows that NGOs as intermediaries between government and rural communities is a significant mechanism to promote the strengthening of the power of local communities, to create bridges between federal government and local communities; and to stimulate participatory processes by engaging rural communities’ culture and knowledge in socio-environmental development program as Proambiente.
