AREAS WITH POTENTIAL FOR THE CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES OF BACABA (Oenocarpus distichus) IN THE STATE OF MARANHÃO, BRAZILAREAS CON POTENCIAL PARA CONSERVACIÓN DE RECURSOS DA BACABA (Oenocarpus distichus) EN EL ESTADO DEL MARANHÃO, BRASILRESUMOAs bacabeiras (Oenocarpus distichus) são palmeiras típicas da Amazônia que ocorrem com maior frequência no leste, dispersando-se do Pará ao Maranhão. A bacabeira por suas características ecobotânicas apresentam grandes oportunidades de serem valoradas em serviços ecossistêmicos. É explorada pelo extrativismo, seja para o consumo de seus frutos na forma de bebida ou na extração do óleo, podendo ser cultivadas em sistemas agroflorestais para a produção de frutos, palmito e, especialmente, o óleo. O presente estudo investigou e mapeou a ocorrência de populações naturais de Oenocarpus distichus no Maranhão para identificar as áreas com potenciais para conservação. A pesquisa é descritiva e foi realizada em diferentes sedes municipais e/ou povoados de seis microrregiões do estado do Maranhão: Baixada Maranhense, Gurupi, Chapada das Mangabeiras, Litoral Ocidental Maranhense, Rosário e Itapecuru. Os pontos de ocorrência foram georreferenciados e armazenadas no aparelho GPS. Posteriormente no software (Qgis 2.18) foi feita a conversão das coordenadas de extensão KML para shapefile, criando um banco de dados utilizado para produzir o mapa da distribuição espacial da bacaba. Entre as áreas pesquisadas a maior ocorrência identificada foi na microrregião de Rosário, com destaque para os municípios de Axixá e Presidente Juscelino; seguido da microrregião do Litoral Ocidental Maranhense, em Serrano do Maranhão. Constatou-se que as populações de bacaba estão bastante reduzidas nas áreas mapeadas, contudo ainda existem indivíduos preservados em quintais, favorecendo estratégias de conservação on farm.Palavras-chave: Bacaba; Extrativismo; Maranhão.ABSTRACTThe bacabeiras (Oenocarpus distichus) are typical palms tree from Amazon that occur more frequently in the east, dispersing from Pará to Maranhão. The bacabeira due to its ecobotanical characteristics present great opportunities to be valued in ecosystem services. It is exploited by extractivism, either for the consumption of its fruits in the form of drinks or in the extraction of oil and can be grown in agroforestry systems to produce fruits, hearts of palm and, especially, oil. The present study investigated and mapped the occurrence of natural populations of Oenocarpus distichus in Maranhão to identify potential areas to conservation. The research is descriptive and was realized in different municipal headquarters and/or populated in six microregions in the state of Maranhão: Baixada Maranhense, Gurupi, Chapada das Mangabeiras, Litoral Ocidental Maranhense, Rosário and Itapecuru. The occurrence points were georeferenced and stored on the device GPS. Later, in the software (Qgis 2.18) the conversion of the KML extension coordinates to shapefile was performed, creating a database used to produce the spatial distribution map of bacaba. Among the areas surveyed, the highest occurrence identified was in microregion of Rosário with highlight on the municipalities of Axixá and Presidente Juscelino, followed by microregion of Litoral Ocidental Maranhense through of Serrano do Maranhão. It was constated that bacaba populations are considerable reduced in the mapped areas, however there are still individuals preserved at backyards, favoring conservation strategies on farm.Keywords: Bacaba; Extractivism; Maranhão.RESUMENLas bacabeiras (Oenocarpus distichus) son palmeras típicas de la Amazonia que ocurren con mayor frecuencia en el este, dispersándose del Pará al Maranhão, estados de Brasil.

The North coast of Java is increasingly exposed to flood risks due to land subsidence and climate change, resulting in sea-level rise. This paper developed a flood risk spatial index model in the coastal Pekalongan. The model was systematically arranged from various flood risk indicators related to the social, economic, and environment of coastal Pekalongan based on surveys and interviews with the communities and regional governments. These indicators are then integrated into hazard and vulnerability as components of risk. Using the index system method and ArcGIS, the risk index is classified into five levels (very high, high, medium, low, very low) and generated into a flood risk spatial distribution map. We found that the risk in the study area varies between a medium to a very high level of risk. The very high level of risk was located in Tratebang, Pecakaran, and Tegaldowo Village. A risk spatial distribution map can be used to evaluate potential risks and flood mitigation.

AbstractShrimp farming is one of the most important aquaculture practices in terms of area, production, employment and foreign exchange generation in India. In recent years, the growth and intensification of shrimp farms in the study area have been explosive, and setting up of new shrimp farms along the coastal areas has also become a matter of apprehension among the environmentalists. An extensive survey made by environmentalists elsewhere shows mixed opinion, but ascertains the real scenario as facts. A total of about 46 groundwater samples were collected in five phases: pre-culture, summer culture, immediately after summer harvest (IASH), winter culture and immediately after winter culture, respectively. The results revealed that the high value of TDS, Na, Cl and Br is observed in IASH, and also, the spatial distribution map confirmed that higher concentration is observed near to the creek and sea. Moreover, the abundance of these ions is in the following order: Na > Ca > Mg > k and Cl > HCO3 > SO4 > CO3 > NO3 > Br for different culture periods, respectively. Piper diagram depicts that the groundwater was controlled by ion exchange reactions. Further, Chadha’s classification revealed that the reverse ion exchange was the dominated feature, and it is supported by various ionic indices such as Na/Cl versus EC, (Ca + Mg) versus (SO4 + HCO3), (Na–Cl) versus (Ca + Mg–HCO3–SO4), (Ca + Mg) versus Cl and Na/Cl versus Cl, respectively. The result of factor analysis shows that most of the variations are elucidated by the seawater intrusion, rock–water interactions and anthropogenic activities during different culture periods. The spatial distribution map of factor scores clearly delineates that the positive values are observed near to the creek and sea and in that, shrimp farming area is not predominated. R-mode cluster analysis shows that groundwater quality does not vary extensively as a function of culture periods. Moreover, Q-mode classification consists of two clusters: the first cluster has a high saline water concentration comprising samples location near to the creek and sea. The second cluster mainly depends upon rock–water interactions and the majority of shrimp farming area are grouped under these categories. The above statements clearly indicate that groundwater parameters mainly depend upon the geological process and that shrimp farming cannot be targeted as the root cause for groundwater salinization.

Abstract BackgroundEchinococcosis is a global zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larvae of Echinococcus, which affects both humans and animals. In China, this disease is highly endemic in Sichuan Province. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and spatial distribution characteristics of human echinococcosis at the township level in Sichuan province, so as to provide a reference for the development of precise prevention and control strategies in the future.MethodsWe explored the prevalence of echinococcosis using the B-ultrasonography diagnostic method in Sichuan province between 2016 and 2019, where patients and transmission conditions had been identified in the past. All data were inputted using Epi-Info software, while SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. We then employed ArcGIS software to draw the spatial distribution map and perform trend surface analysis. Finally, Geoda software was used to analyze spatial autocorrelation and draw Lisa clustering map.ResultsA total of 2 542 135 people from 649 towns in 35 counties of Sichuan province were screened for echinococcosis, of which 11 743 echinococcosis patients were detected. The prevalence of echinococcosis in humans was 0.462%, among which the occurrence of cystic echinococcosis [CE] was 0.221%, while that of alveolar echinococcosis [AE] was 0.244%. We also observed that the predominance of echinococcosis in humans decreased gradually from west to east and from north to south based on the results of the spatial distribution map and trend surface analysis. The Global Moran's I index was 0.77 (Z = 32.07, P < 0.05), which indicated that the prevalence of echinococcosis in humans was spatially clustered, exhibiting a significant spatial positive correlation. Further, the findings of local spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed that the “high-high” concentration areas were primarily located in some townships in the northwest of Sichuan province. On the other hand, the “low-low” concentration areas were predominantly located in some townships in the southeast of Sichuan province. ConclusionOur findings demonstrated that the prevalence of echinococcosis in humans of Sichuan province is following a downward trend, implying that the current prevention and control work has achieved some substantial outcomes. However, the prevalence in humans at the township level is widely distributed and differs greatly, with a clear clustering in space. Therefore in the future, precise prevention and control strategies should be formulated for clusters, particularly strengthening the “high-high” clusters at the township level.

This study focused on implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 indicators, at local scale, useful in monitoring urban social resilience. For this purpose, the study focused on updating the distribution map of the migrant population regularly residing in Bari and a neighboring town in Southern Italy. The area is exposed to increasing migration fluxes. The method implemented was based on the integration of Sentinel-2 imagery and updated census information dated 1 January 2019. The study explored a vector-based variant of the dasymetric mapping approach previously used by the Joint Research Center (JRC) within the Data for Integration initiative (D4I). The dasymetric variant implemented can disaggregate data from census areas into a uniform spatial grid by preserving the information complexity of each output grid cell and ensure lower computational costs. The spatial distribution map of regular migrant population obtained, along with other updated ancillary data, were used to quantify, at local level, SDG 11 indicators. In particular, the map of regular migrant population living in inadequate housing (SDG 11.1.1) and the ratio of land consumption rate to regular migrant population growth rate (SDG 11.3.1) were implemented as specific categories of SDG 11 in 2018. At the local level, the regular migrant population density map and the SDG 11 indicator values were provided for each 100 × 100 m cell of an output grid. Obtained for 2018, the spatial distribution map revealed in Bari a high increase of regular migrant population in the same two zones of the city already evidenced in 2011. These zones are located in central parts of the city characterized by urban decay and abandoned buildings. In all remaining city zones, only a slight generalized increase was evidenced. Thus, these findings stress the need for adequate policies to reduce the ongoing process of residential urban segregation. The total of disaggregated values of migrant population evidenced an increase of 44.5% in regular migrant population. The indicators obtained could support urban planners and decision makers not only in the increasing migration pressure management, but also in the local level monitoring of Agenda 2030 progress related to SDG 11.

This paper presents a study on Seasonal Particulate Matter (PM10) concentration at selected region in Klang Valley for two years database (2002-2004). The study aimed to analyse on how the distribution of PM10 concentration has changed over monsoonal. Kriging method was employed for interpolating PM10 concentration over limited dataset from seven monitoring stations in Klang Valley. Results found that higher PM10 concentration was recorded during Southwest monsoon (65.92μg/m-3) followed by both inter-monsoon (62.17μg/m-3) and (59.13μg/m-3) respectively. Meanwhile, the lowest concentration (36.67μg/m-3) was recorded during northeast monsoon. From the distribution, Klang station has recorded the highest PM10 concentration throughout the season, followed by Kuala Selangor (59.33μg/m-3). Hulu Langat and Gombak stations have shown the lowest concentration of PM10, (40.92μg/m-3) and (36.67μg/m-3) respectively. The spatial distribution map indicated that the PM10concentration level is not only determining by seasonal but also depends on location of monitoring station itself. The concentration may increase if the station is closer to the proximity of urban and industrial pollution sources.
