As Cadeias de valor alimentar inclusivas e sustentáveis do açaí e do peixe: o caso de Abaetetuba, PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-01-15) SALGADO, Mayany Soares; SANTANA, Antônio Cordeiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2532279040491194; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4324-9178
The inclusive and sustainable food value chains of assai and fish are activities that generate income, employment, foreign exchange, with exports to Brazilian and international markets, as well as being fundamental to supplying the local market and preserving the natural stocks of assai trees in floodplains and fish in regional rivers in the territory of influence of the city of Abaetetuba. Due to the importance of these products in functional food, demand has been growing faster than supply, causing pressure on the stocks of these natural assets and generating environmental externalities in all links of these chains. In this context, the general objective of the thesis was to analyze the configuration of the assai fruit and fish value chains and the interaction between extractivism and the consumer market, taking into account the agents that act and define the peasant territoriality of the municipality of Abaetetuba. The methodology includes descriptive and interpretive analyses of the literature review and of the primary and secondary data collected. The field research, for the collection of primary data, contemplated the qualitative approach, with the use of the in-depth interview technique, aiming to capture the dynamics of the riverside peasants in their survival, based on the exploitation of natural resource stocks, and the quantitative approach, from the application of questionnaires, for the analysis of market information, via specification of consumer demands for assai and fish. The representative sample included 342 interviewees, with a confidence level of 95% and a sampling error of 5.4%. The results showed the lack of commitment of the agents that operate in the processing and marketing links of the products with the preservation of the floodplain in Abaetetetubense, due to their lack of knowledge and experience of the dynamics and preservation needs of the natural ecosystems of the floodplains, and because they only aim at short-term economic results. Consumers of fish and assai extractivism on the islands of Abaetetuba are willing to pay R$ 58.20 and R$ 98.74 per family per month to maintain the preservation of natural stocks of assai and fish, in order to ensure market supply and provide families with a healthy food consumption pattern of 43.12 l of assai and 30.27 kg of fish, respectively. It is concluded that the riverside territoriality, composed of peasants and local intermediaries, showed a high conception of the importance of the environment, related to its existence in the floodplain, from the practice of fishing and assai extraction carried out with the use of techniques of sustainable bases and by the family unit, which provided greater scope for the inclusion of this link in the chain. The main contribution of this thesis was to show the interconnected configuration of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the assai and fish chains, from significant results, to potentiate local development, from the stimulation of social organization and vertical integration of the production of riverside peasants with the agroindustry of functional foods in the territory of Abaetetuba.

Capacidade institucional, gestão ambiental descentralizada e sustentabilidade: o caso de Barcarena (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-11-05) SANTOS, Selma Solange Monteiro; MORAES, Sérgio Cardoso de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4568311568729454; FARIAS, André Luís Assunção de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5310171409459863
Environmental management is a management of conflicting interests where the public sphere has mediation and therefore need to develop a series of organizational attributes. The research analyzed the institutional capacities (manage, financial and participatory) Barcarena municipality in the implementation of environmental policy to assist in building a sustainability project for the local community. The methodology involved the use of direct and indirect documentation techniques, and intensive and extensive direct observation. The theoretical framework, delimited to the prism of the study sustainability as the concept is multidimensional and has a strong appeal discourse that serves the economic interests of the dominant mode of production. It adopted the approach of sustainability anchored on participation, in which sustainability can only be achieved when the public sphere move to confront the neoliberal interests, from the opening of the state apparatus for inclusive participation of society in decisions of environmental policy, mobilizing transparent actions in environmental regulation, while adopting information systems that can effect social control. Whereas environmental management for sustainability is a federal commitment because the municipality is part of a shared and decentralized management system with the federal government, the states and the Federal District, it used theoretical contributions of decentralization of public policies in their size social incorporating the active participation with the assumptions for achieving sustainability. The guiding principle of the approach is given by references linked to enlarged critical theory originated in the Frankfurt School, which explains the preference in the adoption of references linked to Marxism to explain the relationship between sustainability, participation and decentralization. If it pondered that critical theory is also a theoretical alternative to domination of institutional capacity studies that focus on the functionalist approaches, which mostly use neoinstitutionalism main explanatory support. The results reveal that the main obstacle to anchored sustainability in participation is precisely the participatory capacity in environmental management because the government acts in the disruption of mechanisms that can bring the emancipation of the subject insofar as it does not achieve information systems, provides information incomplete, difficult to understand and subordinates participatory instances the interests of management. The capacity manage and financial downtown of the city in chain continuous actions for the future planning of environmental issues, as well as the absence of structural and continuous actions of the Union and the State in environmental planning of the areas under their jurisdictions, which are present in the city, also prevent building a local sustainability project in Barcarena.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-01-31) SILVA, Carla Patrícia Lima; ALMEIDA, Aline Christian Pimentel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1388841813412015; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7421-5632; CONDURÚ, Marise Teles Condurú; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6085807397296909; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4545-4199
The Institutional Memory is constituted from the process of choice and selection of what was and is relevant to the history of an Institution, in this scenario the News Portal of the Federal University of Pará and the Institution's Academic Units is studied to identify this relationship . This research has as its guiding problem: How does the information on environmental sustainability disseminated within the scope of the Federal University of Pará constitute its Institutional Memory? To answer this question, the general objective is to analyze the dissemination of technical-scientific production on environmental sustainability generated within the scope of the Federal University of Pará for the constitution of Institutional Memory. As for the research methods and techniques, a single case study was carried out for data collection, and Content Analysis for the analysis of the data obtained. According to the cut delimited by the research, five sources of evidence were analyzed: Institutional Documents of the Federal University of Pará and the Institutional Communication Office; Analysis, based on data mining, of the pages of the News Portal of the Federal University of Pará and the websites of the Academic Units; Questionnaire answered by the administrators of these pages; Interview with the Director of the Communication Office of the University and Survey of Technical-scientific Production on the subject in the Institutional Repository of Theses and Dissertations of the Federal University of Pará. As a result, it was identified that the disclosures made through the Portal and the websites of the Academic Units are recognized by the University's management as an instrument in achieving the Institution's strategic management. There is dissemination of information on environmental sustainability on the University's websites, however the theme can be worked on further. The Communication Office recognizes the relevance of the theme and has been developing strategies for greater dissemination. As for the constitution of the Institutional Memory, although there is recognition that the Portal is a form of Constitution of the Institutional Memory of the Federal University of Pará, there is still no concern in the sense of structuring and maintaining it from this perspective, with the need to instrumentalize such a need. It was concluded that the University News Portal and the websites of the Academic Units can be considered as instruments in the constitution of the Institutional Memory of the Federal University of Pará, although currently they are not treated nor prepared to act in this way, however, they can become institutionalized places of memory.

Desenvolvimento sustentável: parâmetros para uma interpretação jurídica da sustentabilidade ambiental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-10-27) SANTANA, Raimundo Rodrigues; MATTOS NETO, Antonio José de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4719479439779242
This study supports the idea that the meaning of the concept of sustainable development and their predominant use in the legal world deserve to be reviewed. Therefore, sustainable development should be recognized as an ideology, something that is part of a broader ideological system. It can not therefore be understood as a legal principle. It is believed that this ideal is not in a valid legal basis for dealing with contemporary social and environmental problems, interpreting them legally. By contrast, environmental sustainability, although derived from sustainable development, contains conceptual autonomy. It’s able to acts an important legal principle for interpreting the socio-ecological facts, strengthening and affirmation of the rule of environmental law.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-05-22) MOREIRA, Auricilene Gomes; RIBEIRO, Karla Tereza Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2654817572738748; GODOY, Sara Gurfinkel Marques de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3676165040937391
This study investigates teachers' perceptions of entrepreneurial education and its integration with solid waste management in high schools, highlighting the importance of environmental sustainability and the development of skills for the 21st century. Using a qualitative and exploratory approach, data was collected via questionnaires on Google Forms and analyzed qualitatively with the assistance of graphs, which allowed for effective organization and interpretation of the information. The results point to the need for pedagogical practices that promote awareness of sustainable development, using modern approaches to engage students. Research resulted in the creation of a Design Thinking Ebook, which supports teachers in implementing an active, interdisciplinary methodology. This material is designed to encourage student collaboration in the development and implementation of projects, aligned with the ten general competences of the Common National Curriculum Basis. Design Thinking is emphasized as a student-centered approach to solving complex problems in a creative and practical way. It highlights the importance of equipping both teachers and students with practical skills and an innovative perspective, preparing them to face current challenges and promote environmental sustainability. Therefore, I consider that the dissertation makes a significant contribution to the educational field, demonstrating the effective integration of entrepreneurial education into the school curriculum and preparing students for a responsible and sustainable future.

Espacialidade e sustentabilidade na Ilha do Combú: um olhar sobre a interface urbano insular como forma de contribuir para a conservação do espaço na construção da sustentabilidade local
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-05-12) MATTA, Raimundo Alberto de Athayde; CARDOSO, Ana Cláudia Duarte; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3138101153535395
In this dissertation we show the results of observations and investigations, and try to interpret the urban Xrural linkage that occurs between Belém and the island of the Combu, located in the south border of the town, having like backdrop the ideas of environmental sustainability in construction in this beginning of century. For that we carried out a research with information about the profile of islands physical-territorial occupation and carried out interviews with riverside inhabitants to hear the accounts about insular way of live and his relationship with Belém; we took informations from administrative organs that apply public policys in the island; we try to identify the chains of products that compete to insular sustainability; and try to find an indication of the resultant impacts from the relation that occurs between Belém and the region of his south islands. The research established the difficulties of insular occupation maintenance, concluded not existence of productive chains developed in the island and permitted to observe that the pressures that Combu suffers are intensibily originate in the continent and not in the own local space. It concluded also that the promotion of the sustainability of Combu depends still of an effort from Belém in the construction of news routes for his own sustainability in respect to other regions around, including the island object of the research.

La ciencia de la información y la producción científica brasileña sobre información ambiental
(Instituto Internacional de la UNESCO para la Educación Superior en América Latina y el Caribe, 2022) OLIVEIRA, Hamilton Vieira de; VALENTIM, Marta Lígia Pomim
The paper analyzes the knowledge production on environmental information in Brazil within the scope of Information Science in the period 2000-2019. It retrieves the production on the subject in the main national and international bibliographic sources of scientific articles and theses and dissertations. The reading, classification and analysis of the papers found indicate that the identified production does not cover, in a balanced way, the main categories of study in the scientific field of Information Science, and that it is dispersed with regard to the institutions of origin, editors and the articulation among the authors. We believe that by means of an academic-scientific planning, Information Science can significantly contribute to a more institutionalized scientific production on environmental information, better distributed in its subareas of study and more aligned with the social relevance of the environmental issue.

Padrões econômicos-ambientais da agropecuária no estado do Tocantins: estudo comparativo de microbacias correspondentes a três sistemas agrários relevantes
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-06-29) MARTINS, José Jamil Fernandes; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4783862P2
At first it was developed a theoretical basis that supports this work, structuring an environmental sustainability concept, which by its turn props the elaboration of an index of agricultural sustainable environment (ISAGRI). It’s paramount that the referred index is based, among others, in a Universal Equation of soil loss – EUPS. It has been worked also in the analysis of the anthropic action effects practiced by soybean producers, cattleman, and small producers, in three micro bays of Tocantins State located in the municipalities of Sítio Novo do Tocantins, by the State’s north region; Araguaia, northeast; and Pedro Afonso, in the central region of the State. In this analysis, it was calculated the sustainability grade inherent to each of the activities using the ISAGRI. From this reality observed in regions under study it were created multiples alternative scenarios that allowed a higher range to the analysis effectuated according the results shown by ISAGRI. It was compared the acquittal presented by each category among the producers to identify which one produces higher aggressions to environment. The ISAGRI was used also in its disaggregated mode through its sub index which allowed less disaggregation comparators and thereby closer to reality. Than it were made calculations of valuation of replacement costs of soil restoration resulting from the activities of rural producers. To do the calculations it was used the Replacement Cost Method (MCR), with some alterings in the standard model. To the results acquired it was applied the same comparative analysis used before. According the results, regarding the environment sustainable point of view, the cattleman located in the micro bay in the municipality of Araguaia-TO activities are in the same level reached by the small producers of Sitio Novo do Tocantins-TO which means that it is a good standard. However the soybean producers established in the micro bay of Pedro Afonso-TO reached an index considered only as regular. It is possible to observe that when multiple alternative scenarios are analyzed, in some parts they are particularly interesting and in others they are preoccupying, all of them are commented throughout the study. Nevertheless when considered the valuation of the replacement cost of lost soil, operations with small producers, including the projected scenarios are considered non sustainable which generates a situation at some point paradoxical. When, regarding the environmental point of view, its activity reaches a good level of sustainability. And concerning the restitution costs valuation of soil losses by its activities they drop to non sustainability standard. The soybean croppers are in the real conditions, inside the sustainability pattern and according the foreseen scenario, sometimes, are in the sustainable model and sometimes out. In the case of cattleman in all of situations their activities remains in the sustainability context.

Percepção ambiental e dinâmica geoecológica: premissas para o planejamento e gestão ambiental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-12) PAULA, Eder Mileno Silva de; SILVA, Edson Vicente da; GORAYEB, Adryane
It is necessary to plan the actions of humans in nature, organizing sustainable interventions within environmental limits, and manage natural resources through comparisons with other landscapes already changed. But, part of the actions of environmental planning and management occur through sectoral analyzes, and without understanding how the local population perceives the nature. In this article we discuss about the geoecological landscape analysis and its relationship with the complex thinking and the importance of environmental education as a means of dissemination of geoecological knowledge of the landscape. It proposes fundamental elements for environmental planning and management of natural resources, through considerations about the need for knowledge of the environmental perception of social actors on their actions on the natural environment, and the impact of these actions on the local geoecological dynamics. The land use contribute significantly to changes in local environmental dynamics. Thus, the understanding of the geoecological dynamics, such as environmental perception of local communities, should be seen as premises for development of environmental planning and management
