Environmental Planning And Management

Sustainable development, biodiversity and landscape diversity should be a key component in nature oriented curricula. The Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University in Bratislava trains specialists in natural and environmental science in Master's degree, in particular in the context of the curricula “Environmental Planning and Management” and “Landscape Protection and Land Use”. The aim of the analysis was to assess the compulsory and elective study subjects of the curricula in question in terms of coverage of themes of sustainable development (SD). The curricula structure and content were analysed on the basis of 14 themes. The results showed that 20 out of the 41 study subjects cover more than 50% of SD themes. The other subjects, more narrowly focused, are also of importance, because they cover key themes such as biodiversity in detail. Graduates’ preparedness for practice and competencies should be sufficient, but it would be appropriate to also focus on the themes in the study subjects in terms of SD indicators.

O presente artigo objetivou analisar como o povo Jenipapo Kanindé, da Terra Indígena (TI) Lagoa da Encantada (Aquiraz, Ceará), compreende a Educação Ambiental (EA). Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com membros-chave da comunidade e escolhida a escola local como ambiente favorável à EA crítica. Adotou-se uma adaptação das “Fases de Planejamento e Gestão Ambiental” estabelecidas por Rodriguez e Silva (2013) como percurso metodológico e a divisão da EA definida por Layrargues e Lima (2014) para categorizar as respostas dos entrevistados. Percebeu-se que a etnia possui uma visão não crítica da EA, desde sua conceituação até suas possibilidades de atuação no combate aos problemas existentes na TI. Por fim, estabeleceram-se proposições em EA crítica, com foco na educação indígena diferenciada que é promovida na escola local.

The present paper aimed to analyze how the Jenipapo Kanindé people of the Indian Land (IL) Lagoa Encantada (Aquiraz, Ceará) understands Environmental Education (EE). To do so, semi-structured interviews were applied to key members of the community and a local school was chosen as a place favorable to critical EE. An adaptation of “Phases of Environmental Planning and Management” by Rodriguez and Silva (2013) and the classification of EE defined as in Layrargues and Lima (2014) were adopted as a methodological pipeline and to categorize the respondents’ answers, respectively. It was realized that the ethnic group has a non-critical perception of EE, starting from its conceptualization to taking possible measures to fight against the ongoing problems in the IL. Finally, purposes of critical EE focused on the differential education of the indian people promoted in the local school were established.

Environmental Planning And Management

An interdisciplinary analysis of an ecological system of waterway includes several related environmental science fields. Environmental planning and management is an important component in the construction of waterways. The aim of the study was to analyze the legislative framework that forms the vertical of construction management of water communications in Russia. Research in this field allows us to look at current problems through the prism of the historical process, political and socio-economic reforms of society. As a result of the study, the historical experience of the development of water communication in Russia was analyzed. The base of the research was constituted by legislative standards issued in Russia in the period under review. At the same time considering the development of the legislative framework and the actual construction process, it was found that the legislative system had a direct impact on the waterway building practice. This made it possible to determine the extent of the impact of changes in state institutions and their structural components on the overall organization of management and regulation of construction and on the practice of creating a system of waterways in Russia. These studies make it possible to systematize the historical experience of the development of functional, methodological, and organizational forms of regulating the construction of water communications in the period under review.

Ecologically Sustainable Development

Protection of the Environment and Sustainability goes hand in hand as one mechanism compliments the other. On the other hand, Sustainable Economic Growth can only be achieved if it is linked to Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD). Sustainability can best be described as "Living within the limit of what the environment can provide while safe guarding the environment for future generation, Understanding the many connections between environment, society and economy, and equitable distribution of resources and opportunities". Uncontrolled Green House Gas Emission has caused global warming, sea level rise, change of weather pattern (e.g severe untimely rainfall at unusual location), and alarming increase of natural disasters (Cyclone, Hurricane, Floods, Tsunamis and other natural phenomena). Third world countries are worst affected by the Green House Gas Emission and Global Warming Impact and Bangladesh is one of them. UN has taken a leading role and guiding the world to work together not only to reduce pollution but to make significant contribution in achieving pristine environmental conditions. Under the umbrella of UN, the world is now taking collective action to reduce Green House Gas Emission and Tackle Global Warming Impacts. Concerted efforts must be taken in an accelerated pace to educate at Global, Regional, National and Community level, about the benefits of the above-mentioned concepts and introduce incentive-based programs for mass participation. The environmental cleanup process should start from individual home and gradually extending to community, national and global level to achieve accelerated measurable success. An opportunity must be created to reform land use change, replacing pollution producing industries with environmentally sustainable practices. It is overdue to put through a series of EPA recommended processes to clean up the contaminated land, soil and water and secondly, introduce and adapt an Ecologically Sustainable Development program. The long-term goal should be to expedite and spread the land use change practices to relace the contaminated practices and introduce mandatory adaption of environment friendly technology for the ongoing industrial and business activities to reduce pollution while contributing improving the environment. With a global collective action this world can be transformed into a heaven on earth.

Unidade geoambiental é um importante instrumento no auxílio do planejamento e da regulação do uso da terra. Os principais desafios para delimitar unidades geoambientais são isolar, identificar e caracterizar precisamente os atributos ambientais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi delimitar unidades geoambientais na bacia hidrográfica do rio Natuba, numa escala de semidetalhe, a partir da caracterização do meio físico, visando gerar subsídios para o planejamento ambiental da bacia. Foram feitas caracterizações pedológicas, geomorfológicas, geológicas, hidrológicas, climáticas e de uso da terra, a partir de informações da literatura e dados coletados no campo. A caracterização pedológica foi considerada a principal, e a partir dela foram inseridos e analisados os outros atributos físicos. As informações sobre todos os atributos caracterizados foram sobrepostas utilizando o aplicativo Arc gis 9.3, gerando oito unidades geoambientais na bacia. palavras-chave: solos, geologia, drenagem, declividade, uso da terra Delimitation of Geoenvironmental Units in a Watershed from Humid Zone in Pernambuco State ABSTRACT Geoenvironmental unit is an important tool for planning and regulation of land use. The main challenges to delimit geoenvironmental units are to isolate, identify and characterize the environmental attributes accurately. The aim of this work was to determine environmental physical attributes and delimit geoenvironmental units in Natuba river basin, on a semi detail scale, in order to generate information for environmental planning basin. Characterizations were pedological, geomorphological, geological, hydrological, climate and land use attributes, based on information from the literature and data collected in the field. The pedological attribute was considered the main, and from it were included and analyzed the other physical attributes. Data on all the determined attributes was overlapped using the Arc gis 9.3 software. Eight geoenvironmental units were established on the basin. Keywords: soils, geology, drainage, slope, land use
