Estudio De Caso

El presente artículo trata de una inmersión en la realidad social de la comunidad del entorno del Parque Estatal de las Fuentes de Ipiranga, una unidad de conservación urbana de la ciudad de Sno Paulo, el tercer remanente más importante de la Mata Atlántica del municipio. El estudio de caso aquí presentado describe el proceso de gestión participativa que incluyó a los grupos interesados en la acción: el poder público del municipio (prefectura de la ciudad de Diadema), el poder estatal (Instituto de Botánica) y la comunidad local. En el campo de la investigación y la acción se utilizaron técnicas de grupo focal para detectar los principales conflictos ambientales del área; se realizaron entrevistas con los moradores para entender su percepción sobre los problemas ambientales, y se hicieron reuniones periódicas para planear las acciones a seguir. Los resultados nos proporcionaron elementos para afirmar que hubo un proceso de capacitación de los ciudadanos en relación con la organización de las acciones colectivas; éstas arrojaron resultados significativos que mejoraron la calidad social y ambiental del área. AbstractThis article describes an immersion in the social reality of the community of the State Park of Fuentes de Ipiranga, an urban conservation unit in the city of São Paulo, the third largest remnant of the Atlantic Forest in the municipality. The case study presented here describes the participatory management process that included the groups interested in the action: the municipal authorities (prefecture of the city of Diadema), the state authorities (Institute of Botany) and the local community. In the field of research and action, focus group techniques were used to identify the main environmental conflicts in the area; interviews were conducted with residents to understand their perception of environmental issues, and regular meetings were held to plan the actions to be taken. The results indicate that there was a process of training citizens with regard to the organization of collective action, which yielded significant results that improved the social and environmental quality of the area.

The City

Urban regeneration involves the integrated redevelopment of urban deprived areas, covering physical, socio-economic and environmental aspects of cities, and it is concerned with interventions on early/inner-ring suburbs and historic centers, which are under pressure from population growth and sustainable development policies. The planning and management of urban regeneration interventions usually depend on the city and regional context. Although these interventions involve multiple issues and stakeholders, common characteristics can be identified, thus appealing for a holistic vision and coordination among the various dimensions of the problem. Based on the above context, and on the experience from a large-scale urban regeneration project, this article introduces an integrated methodology to support the planning and management of urban regeneration interventions. The methodology proposes a flexible baseline that can be adapted to urban regeneration projects of different contexts and dimensions, and defines steps, the corresponding stakeholders, and the teams’ engagement, in an integrated framework to plan and oversee urban regeneration actions towards more sustainable and resilient interventions.

Active adaptive management has recently been advocated for efficiently reducing resource management uncertainties, but no documented applications to forestry issues exist in Ontario. This paper reports the experience of a diverse partnership applying active adaptive management to improve techniques for obtaining desired boreal mixedwood structure and composition in northeastern Ontario. Institutional and economic barriers have been more limiting than technical barriers. Building and maintaining the partnership have required considerable effort, and opportunities for conflict were greatest in the assessment and design steps of the adaptive management cycle. The partnership has maintained its progress by promoting flexibility, trust, and consensus-building. This study demonstrates that classical adaptive management can be simplified for application in local management units. A broader application of active adaptive management in Ontario will require senior decision-makers to endorse a strategy that includes staff retraining, admission of management uncertainties, cooperation among management agencies, stability of long-term funding, encouragement of innovation, and regular adjustment of policies and practices. Key words: consensus-building, designed learning, forest management policies, modelling, monitoring, partnerships, response indicators
