Resumo: O desenvolvimento sustentável desafia a sociedade a fazer uso de práticas de desenvolvimento que garantam qualidade de vida para as gerações atuais e futuras. Nesse sentido, a agricultura sustentável visa uma produção agrícola com o mínimo de impactos ambientais possível. Diante disso, faz-se necessário inferir a sustentabilidade na agricultura com o uso de indicadores, que tem como objetivo monitorar os métodos de cultivo a fim de obter informações que determinem se os métodos utilizados são sustentáveis, permitindo também a identificação de aspectos que precisem ser melhorados. Dessa forma, a pesquisa realizada visou identificar o índice de sustentabilidade de produção agrícola das famílias assistidas pelo Projeto de Transposição do Rio São Francisco, em São José de Piranhas – PB. A pesquisa foi realizada nas Vilas Produtivas Rurais, localizadas no município de São José de Piranhas, no período de 02 de outubro de 2017 a 30 de junho de 2018, e deu-se por meio de um questionário utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os agricultores assistidos pelo Projeto de Transposição do Rio São Francisco, em São José de Piranhas, não utilizam práticas agrícolas sustentáveis. Na análise dos dados foi observado que a agricultura familiar exercida nas Vilas Produtivas Rurais apresenta um baixo índice econômico (0,10), um baixo índice técnico-agronômico (0,49), um baixo índice de manejo (0,03), um baixo índice ecológico (0,06) e também um baixo índice político institucional (0,13). De acordo com a metodologia utilizada na pesquisa, todos os indicadores apresentaram uma baixa sustentabilidade.Palavras–chave: Desenvolvimento sustentável. Produção agrícola. Indicadores. Transposição.Abstract: Sustainable development challenges society to use practices that ensure the quality of life of both current and future generations. The goal of sustainable agriculture is to exert the least possible impact on the environment. The sustainability of agricultural practices can be inferred with the use of indicators designed to monitor farming methods to obtain data that determine whether the methods employed are sustainable as well as identify aspects that need to be improved. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify the sustainability index of farming production among families assisted by the São Francisco River transposition project in the municipality of São José de Piranhas in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. The study was conducted in productive rural communities of the municipality between October 2nd, 2017 and June 30th, 2018. Data collection involved the administration of a questionnaire. The results indicate that farmers assisted by the transposition project do not use sustainable farming practices. The analysis of the data revealed that family farming practices in the rural communities have low economic (0.10), technical-agronomic (0.49), management (0.03), ecological (0.06) and institutional-political (0.13) indices. Based on the methods employed in the present study, all indicators point to low sustainability.Keywords: Sustainable development. Agricultural production. Indicators. Transposition.

This study developed an exploration model for sport event image fit to predict and explain the place image and quality of life in order to achieve sustainable development goals in rural communities. To validate the model, 294 valid resident responses from a rural community that hosted a sporting event in Taiwan were analyzed with partial least squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that image fit contributes to the social environment, entertainment services, and quality of life; four place image dimensions had a significantly positive effect on quality of life. The exploration model was validated, contributing to the knowledge related to Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 11.

The Status

Rural communities in Cameroon have high levels of poverty, poor living conditions and lagging sustainable development. Lack of economic, social and physical infrastructure opportunities make these communities unsustainable and impact the quality of life for residents. Existing conditions render these areas unattractive for visitors and external and local investors. Initiatives to reduce poverty and improve living standards have had limited impact to reducing poverty or improving quality of life. The recent signing of Cameroon’s decentralization law, giving authority for planning and investments to local council governments now provides an opportunity to rethink existing strategies. Using Batibo, a representative community in the north western region of Cameroon, this paper examines the status of development initiatives and identifies new priorities for planning and steps to improve economic status. Guided by the Theory of Ecological Design and Five Pillars of Economic Development, and using a circular city approach, this paper outlines a concept for town planning and architectural flagship projects that can project the image, culture and heritage of the community and strategies for improving markets. With decentralized governance and re-envisioned priorities, Batibo has an opportunity to become a prototype for sustainable development and model of a quality future in rural Cameroon.

The purpose of this study has been to identify the degree of sustainability in the development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury. The theoretical and empirical investigations were conducted between 2003-2014 based on data from the Local Data Bank. Using a comparative indicator method, 20 indicators were developed, with different directions of preference. The evaluation involves the concept of uniform preference, hence the higher the assessment indicator, the better the situation in the evaluated area unit. Our studies on the sustainable development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury suggest that the indicators measuring the environmental dimension and consequently the quality of life of the residents (in this aspect) score higher than the country's average values. It is also optimistic that some progress, however small, can be seen in this area based on the analyzed dynamics of changes.

O desenvolvimento humano dos países se trata de um tema em destaque que exige ações governamentais para a melhoria da qualidade de vida de seus cidadãos. O problema de dimensionar este desenvolvimento frente às ações de governo determina o objetivo de analisar a existência de correlação entre os indicadores de governança dos países calculados pelo Banco Mundial (WGI) com o índice de desenvolvimento humano calculado pela Organização das nações Unidas (IDH). Para investigar essa hipótese foram efetuadas análises de correlação entre o IDH e as seis dimensões de governança do WGI. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmam a existência de significativa correlação positiva entre o IDH e o WGI, estabelecendo assim o entendimento da complementariedade destes indicadores, e a possibilidade de sua utilização no estabelecimento de ações governamentais.Palavras-chave: Governança dos países.

The problem of dimensioning this development in relation to government actions determines the objective of analyzing the existence of a correlation between the indicators of governance of the countries calculated by the World Bank (WGI) and the human development index calculated by the United Nations (IDH). To investigate this hypothesis, correlation analyzes were performed between HDI and the six governance dimensions of WGI. The results of the research confirm the existence of a significant positive correlation between the HDI and the WGI, thus establishing the understanding of the complementarity of these indicators and the possibility of their use in the establishment of governmental actions.Keywords: Worldwide governance.
