The object of this article is the relationship between indigenous crafts and the potential of ethno-tourism in the southwest of Mato Grosso do Sul. With the implementation of the Bi-oceanic Route, government propaganda has been promising that this economic corridor will stimulate tourism, hence the objective of probing the potential of ethno-tourism in that region, which will directly suffer a great impact as a result of this large-scale undertaking. The theoretical-methodological framework is based on the basic assumption that human productions necessarily result from work, hence the need to treat them as social relations. Therefore, the object of research only acquires understanding within the most general frameworks of capitalist society, expressed by categories such as capital, labor, labor force, market, merchandise, among others. Regarding the methodology, the empirical data survey looked for primary sources of a documentary and imaginary nature, especially photographs. Systematic observations were also recovered in work siltation, carried out both in production and commercialization stations of indigenous artifacts. Secondary sources relevant to the object were also raised, such as catalogs, scientific articles, master's dissertations, doctoral theses, books, and book chapters. To make ethno-tourism viable, the general conclusion is that it invests in a set of initiatives, planned in an integrated and continuous manner within a permanent project. In this group, the improvement of ethnic artifacts is urgent; the recovery and systematic maintenance of the access roads to indigenous lands, as well as the restoration and adaptation of the buildings already available in the villages, with a view to adapting them to the provision of services and products to tourists.

Este trabalho teve por objeto a cerâmica Terena produzida na Aldeia Cachoeirinha em Miranda, Mato Grosso do Sul. Seu objetivo geral é analisar o processo de produção posto em prática pela etnia em referência. Sobre a relevância do objeto dizem os fatos de o artesanato Terena ter sido registrado como patrimônio imaterial histórico, artístico e cultural de Mato Grosso do Sul pelo Governo do Estado e a cerâmica, em especial, se constituir em expressivo instrumento de reconhecimento e diferenciação da etnia. Fontes teóricas foram buscadas em estudos de Oliveira, Ribeiro e Alves. A revisão bibliográfica e o levantamento de fontes secundárias priorizaram as abordagens sobre os Terena, mas se estenderam a outras etnias indígenas da região, também, por força da necessidade de análises comparativas. Quanto às fontes primárias, foram realizados levantamentos a campo na Reserva Indígena Cachoeirinha, além de observações sistemáticas, registros fotográficos do processo de produção e entrevistas semiestruturadas com as artesãs oleiras. Entre os resultados, foram constatadas mudanças recentes na cerâmica Terena. Distanciando-se da pigmentação avermelhada, característica da etnia, algumas peças passaram a ganhar a coloração preta, oriunda de um mineral de cor escura e brilhosa, chamado ‘pedra canga’. A partir do levantamento feito a campo foram identificadas 83 artesãs Terena. Atualmente, 45 permanecem em atividade e a maioria encontra-se na faixa etária de 26 a 50 anos. A produção da cerâmica é realizada exclusivamente pelas mulheres e se tornou importante fonte de complementação da renda familiar. Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento Regional. Artesanato Indígena. Ceramistas Terena. AbstractThe object of this work is Terena ceramics produced at Aldeia Cachoeirinha in Miranda, Mato Grosso do Sul. The main objective is to analyze the production process practiced by this ethnicity. Regarding the relevance of the object, Terena craftwork have been registered as an intangible historical, artistic and cultural heritage of Mato Grosso do Sul by State Government and ceramics, in particular, constitute an expressive instrument of recognition and differentiation of this ethnicity. The present theoretical sources were based on studies of Oliveira, Ribeiro and Alves. The literature review and the secondary sources survey focused on the Terena, however the study extended to other ethnic groups of the region for comparative analysis. During the primary sources, field surveys were carried out at Cachoeirinha Indigenous Protected Area. In addition, systematic observations, photographic records of the production and semi-structured interviews with pottery artisans were performed. Among the results, recent changes in Terena ceramics were observed. Some pieces began to change from the traditional reddish pigmentation, characteristic feature of this ethnic group, to black coloration, originated from a mineral called “canga” stone of dark and bright color. Based on the field survey, 83 Terena artisans were identified. Currently, 45 artisans remain in activity and they fall into age group of 26 to 50 years. The ceramics production is carried out exclusively by women and has become an important supplemental source for family income. Keywords: Regional Development. Indigenous Crafts.

In the agrarian context of the early 20th century, networks of experts and interest groups were created. These formed institutions across state borders to achieve prestige derived from their supranational character and ostensible technical and scientific capacity. The objective of this article is to analyse the impact in Spain of the International Institute of Agriculture (IIA), from the year of its creation until the advent of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, through the lens of the “social question”: a concept that popularized the proposals and disagreements surrounding labour regulation. The research draws from the latest contributions in transnational history and internationalism, recent secondary sources about the IIA and primary sources that reflect how transnational IIA networks worked in and with Spain to address agricultural labour issues. The article concludes that the intensely transnational connections between agrarian elites, owners and technicians in the early 20th century transformed social relations in agriculture and agrarian public policies in Spain.

Usaha penangkapan ikan akan selalu dihadapkan pada risiko kerugian yang tinggi, akibat daritingginya tingkat ketidakpastian. Dengan mengambil kasus usaha penangkapan ikan pelagis kecil dandemersal di Kabupaten Sambas, makalah ini bertujuan untuk menilai besaran kemungkinan terjadinyarisiko kerugian pada usaha perikanan tangkap dan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penyebab risiko kerugiantersebut. Data yang digunakan terdiri dari data primer dan data sekunder. Data primer diperoleh darihasil survey pada tahun 2014 dan 2015 terhadap sampel responden yang diambil secara purposive.Data sekunder yang dikumpulkan berupa data potensi perikanan dan laporan tahunan yang diperolehdari Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Kabupaten Sambas. Analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian iniadalah analisis statistik deskriptif dan simulasi Monte Carlo untuk menilai peluang risiko kerugian. Hasilsimulasi Monte Carlo menunjukkan bahwa peluang terjadinya risiko kerugian dari usaha penangkapanikan di Kabupaten Sambas adalah 30%. Berdasarkan persepsi responden, faktor-faktor penyebab risikoyang dominan antara lain: 1) peningkatan biaya operasional (93%); 2) kesulitan permodalan (76%);dan 3) gangguan kesehatan (69%). Sehingga, untuk mengurangi beban risiko yang dihadapi olehpara nelayan, maka diperlukan kebijakan penguatan permodalan usaha dalam bentuk pembentukanlembaga penyedia modal usaha bagi nelayan kecil, yang dapat menggantikan peran agen/toke dalammenyediakan modal usaha.Title:  An Assessment of Contributing Risk Factor and its Measurement on Capture Fisheries in Sambas District Captured fisheries business is daily faced with high risk due to many uncertainties that it has to deal with. This research is mainly aimed at measuring the probability of loss from the captured fisheries business conducted within the Sambas Region. The data used for the measurement done were acquired from both primary sources – a 2014-2015 panel data survey to a sample of purposively chosen 30 fishers – as well as secondary sources – regional fishery statistics and publications. The monte carlo simulation was applied to produce the measurement of loss probability intended. The simulation showed that there is a 30% chance where a captured fisheries business in Sambas Region may result in a loss. According to fishers’ perception, the probable causes of such risks may be due to a few factors, such as: 1) operating cost push (92%); 2) financing difficulties (76%); and 3) health problems (69%). Thus, alleviating the burden of risks of fishers will require a capital strengthening policy through creating a capital provision institution which could substitute the role of rent-seeking Agents/ Tokes as capital providers.

Governments around the world are encouraging private individuals, groups or organizations to join hand in hand in delivering better services to the citizens. Similarly, Government of Bangladesh has also initiated Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in its policies and strategies over the years. Mayor Muhammad Hanif Flyover (MMHF) is one of the key examples of large-scale project implemented under PPP in the country. The main objective of this paper is to assess the level of satisfaction of the service users of MMHF and associated factors that either facilitate or hamper user satisfaction. This study follows a mixed research method with both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques; small scale survey and interview applied to cover primary sources and content analysis has been applied to get information from secondary sources. This study customizes TCV (time, cost and visit) model used by a2i to assess the efficacy of the use of MMHF. This study finds that most of the service users are satisfied with the time needed to pass through the flyover against the costs incurred and thereby they happily avail the flyover. Despite some challenges this PPP project has paved the opportunity to introduce more partnerships between government and the private sector. Social Science Review, Vol. 37(2), Dec 2020 Page 43-57

O estudo da análise morfométrica é amplamente empregado no alcance de dados e informações sobre a dinâmica da natureza, sendo de grande valor nos estudos geomorfológicos. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo principal, analisar as características morfométricas na bacia do rio Taquaruçu, localizado à leste do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, através de alguns parâmetros relacionados ao relevo (geologia, geomorfologia, solos, hipsometria, perfis longitudinal e transversais do alto médio e baixo curso e declividade) e a rede de drenagem (hierarquia fluvial, análise areal e linear). Esta área foi escolhida por ser base de estudos que visam a influência de algumas variáveis sobre os recursos hídricos, sendo que nesta área ocorre grande ação antrópica, principalmente devido à instalação de grandes empresas do setor da cana de açúcar nesta área, sendo este cultivo capaz de mitigar como também provocar novos impactos ambientais. Para tanto, foram utilizados alguns programas como ArcGis 10® e Global Mapper para o levantamento dos dados necessários nesta análise. Os resultados apontaram que esta área é relativamente plana, fazendo com que o curso principal seja meândrico, com baixa densidade de drenagem, porém, foram encontrados ao longo da bacia, grandes áreas alagadas devido principalmente a sua baixa declividade. Concluiu-se que por ser uma área extremamente dinâmica necessita da análise de suas diversas características, onde uma alteração em determinado fator, pode alterar todos os recursos naturais.  A B S T R A C T The study of the morphometric analysis is amply employee in acquiring information about the dynamics of nature, being of great value in geomorphological studies. This research has as main objective to analyze the morphometric characteristics in the hydrographic basin of Taquaruçu River, located east of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, through a few parameters related to the relief (geology, geomorphology, soils, hypsometry, longitudinal and transverse profiles of high, middle and lower courses and slope) and drainage network (fluvial hierarchy, analysis areal and linear). The bowl was chosen for being the basis of studies that aimed at the influence of some variables on water resources, and that this area occurs great action anthropogenic, mainly due the installation of large companies in the sugarcane sector. To both, were utilized some software like ArcGIS ® 10 and Global Mapper 13 for the data survey necessary for this analysis. Through the results obtained, we note that the basin is relatively flat, causing the main course of the river Taquaruçu be meandrine and low density drain. However, were found along the basin, great flooded areas, mainly due to their low slope. It was concluded that, by be dynamic area require analyzing its diverse characteristics, where an alteration at a certain factor, can change all the natural resources.   Key-words: morphometrical analysis; relief; drainage network; hydrographic basin.
