Organização comunitária e desenvolvimento territorial: o contexto ribeirinho em uma ilha da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-12-01) RODRIGUES, Eliana Teles; MATHIS, Armin; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8365078023155571
This is a case study about riverine communities in the Amazon estuary. It analyzes the social and spatial dynamics, as well as the community organization of the resident population in Combu Island. The spatial and territorial organization of the communities is investigated through the production and reproduction of the material and economic life, in the search of experiences which can reference other rural communities vis-à-vis the debate on regional development. Fifty-four family units were studied in four communities: Igarapé Combu, Beira do Rio, Piriquitaquara, and Furo do Benedito. For being a nature study to interdisciplinary it adopts the socioeconomic, politcs and cultural perspective having as focus the question a) How the communities of Combu island have adapted to exogenous interferences and its survival strategies; b) Which differentiation, strategy between the groups and its forms of organization and articulation; c) What generates greater community involvement. Disarticulation is an unfavorable factor in a community organization, implying fewer possibilities for communities to be a part of the society as active citizens in the development process, and in directing their own destinies. Maintaining the environment and the welfare of the population implies information and formal knowledge allied to local specific practices; the higher the degree of knowledge and local permanence, the higher is the identification, valorization, and cooperation among the riverine populations. The absence of such aspects indicates a low degree of development, or isolated practices where such aspects are hardly perceived. Alone, communities are not able to come up with dynamics to promote their welfare, but forest management developed by the riverine populations has served as a base for economic growth. Such practices may enhance açaí production the main local income source increasing families purchase power. This reinforces the argument for partnerships between institutions and communities, in order to promote environmental and social sustainability.

Uso do território, experiências inovadoras e sustentabilidade: um estudo em unidades de produção familiares de agricultores/as na área de abrangência do Programa PROAMBIENTE, Nordeste Paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-04-12) OLIVEIRA, José Sebastião Romano de; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872
This study it evaluated the sustainability of the innovative experiences using indicator and criteria based on scientific theory the perception of peasants in the Irituia, São Domingos do Capim, Concordia do Pará and Mãe do Rio counties in an area encompassing the Polo Rio Capim, the PROAMBIENTE program. The objective was understand the daily of those social actors on the land using less stressful technologies on the environment and the reasons that led them to extend the traditional home garden or yards for other parcels of the Units of Familiar Production (FPU), turning them into Agroforest Systems (AFs). Questionnaire was applied and empirical data were collected, as well as interaction took place with the people involved in 78 FPUs allowing of variability indntification for Factor Analysis, establishing four factors of production and commercialization; production practices; intervention and gender questions. The first factors was used as criterium and requiring the return of the surveyor to 18 FPUs to apply the questionnaire and evaluation forms on the social, economic, cultural and environmental-ecological indicators. The sustainability evaluation was done by means of grouping these indicators using the Ameba agroecological method and by mapping using the interpolation method next door neighbor in the study area. Cultural and ecological/environmental indicators led to better conditions in terms of sustainability, in the range of good to excellent while the social economic indicators led to results appraised as weak to fair.

Zonificação ambiental do estado do Maranhão utilizando os geossistemas como categoria geográfica de análise
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-08-12) MARQUES, Valter José; SZLAFSZTEIN, Cláudio Fabian; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348005678649555
The state of Maranhão possesses 331.937 square kilometers; coated to the west by dense ombrophylous forests and to the east for cerrado and forests of babaçu, in transition for the biome caatinga. In the latitudinal dimension, are distinguished two large bays: coastal and continental, separated by a structural and step-W/NW. To this geographical diversity correspond geological, geomorphological, climatic and soil nuances, which result in different occupations and uses of geographic space. Even here, the territorial planning has supported in the political-administrative division and in actual or potential uses of the natural environment. The ambient boardings are based on the thematic striking on the ecological dimension and/or on the geomorphological compartments. In the present study, it was opted to the zonification under the systemic perspective of the geossystem-territory-landscape method, wich embraces the the biases physical, biotic and sociocultural. The discrimination of geossystems and the search for its origins had allowed to greater clarification on the connection and tectonic evolution of the Brazilian continental platform, on account of the continental drift, that separated Brazil from Africa. In the local regional/locale/, the 12 geossystems mapped behave as “crustals paving-tiles”, put into motion for forces of the internal dynamics of the Earth. The delineation of the geossystemic units is consonante with the one of the gravimetrical anomalies and the limits of the hydrographic basins. Biotic and physical themes are reflected on the geossystemic units, as the uses of land, and cultural aspects are, showing their integrated nature. Of this form, the zonification, on the basis of geossystems, makes possible the territorial management, through its ambiental, hydric, ecological and economic biases. As retrospective of the territorialities, implanted throughout the history of the Maranhão, the fact ascends of that they had as force-motor the production of substances cousins for global markets. These contingencies, associates with the non- inclusive politics involving populations on the global businesses resulted in significant social exclusion. Finally, an assay directed to the formularization of alternative scenes, under the optics of the sustainable development, advocates for new aimings marked out with buoys in complete a territorial vision, that over all prioritizes the technological quality of the human resources and innovations with respect to the energy matrix, infrastructure, verticalization of local productive chains and in the adoption of ambient politics regarding nature conservation and preservation of environmental services.
