O presente trabalho debruça-se sobre dois conceitos, o de Etnogeomorfologia e o de ordenamento territorial. Primeiramente fizemos a caracterização geoambiental dos municípios para reconhecimento dos aspectos físico/naturais e sociais das áreas pesquisadas; aplicação de entrevistas roteirizadas utilizando a técnica ‘Bola de Neve’; e levantamento dos dados. No total foram entrevistados 77 produtores rurais. Destaca-se aqui, a importância da valorização do saber popular, pois os sertanejos como conhecedores das potencialidades e limitações do ecossistema, planejam e ordenam seu território na busca de uma melhor viabilização de suas atividades econômicas, tendo em vista a conservação do meio ambiente.GEOMORPHOLOGICAL ETHNO-KNOWLEDGE APPLIED TO TERRITORIAL PLANNING IN SMALL TRADITIONAL COMMUNITIESABSTRACTThe present work focuses on two concepts, that of ethno-geomorphology and that of territorial planning. At first a geoenvironmental characterization of the municipalities was conducted in order to recognize the physical/natural and social aspects of the surveyed areas; following controlled interviews were applied using the 'Snowball' technique and data evaluation. Altogether, 77 rural producers were interviewed, 54 in the municipality of Farias Brito and 23 in the municipality of Granjeiro, State of Ceará. The study highlighted the importance of the valorization of popular knowledge, as pointed out by the attitude of the drylands peasants, who apply their knowledge of the potentialities and limitations of the ecosystem in order to plan and organize their territory searching to improve the viability of their economic activities, coupled with the conservation of the environmental resources.Keywords: Ethnogeomorphology; Planning; Use and soil occupation.

One of the largest populations of crocodiles in Costa Rica is located at the Tempisque River. The species is threatened by habitat loss and poaching; but its populations have grown due to the protection given by law. The research was conducted in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. We made a characterization of popular knowledge, activities and perceptions of 374 residents of the study area. It was found that 55% believe that the crocodiles are abundant, 70% believe that populations have increased. The most dangerous activities done are recreation, swimming and fishing. There are significant differences between the proportions of response (X2: 71, n = 10, p <0.0001 X2). These activities are done daily (25%), weekly (30%), monthly (18%) and annually (10%). The risk of attack and the crocodile’s density in the river are not recognized. Also, a lack of knowledge about the natural history and ecology of the species is shown. The reasons for attacks are: the aggressiveness of the animals and their density. There are differences in the responses on the reasons of the attacks (X2: 35, n 8 p <0.0001). Generally, the crocodile perception is unfavorable.

This research has as its central theme the analysis of the morphometric parameters of the hydrographic basin of the Marapanim River, Pará, as a way to subsidize the environmental planning of the area. Studies like these are justified by the regional importance of the economic activities carried out in the municipalities that make up this unit, such as oil palm in its high course and the predominance of family farming and livestock in several sections of the medium and low course. Researches with this purpose are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of the environmental dynamics in the Eastern Amazon. The methodology used was carried out from the literature review, calculation of parameters using Arc Gis and preparation of cartographic material, in addition to the treatment of information with the inference of its applications to environmental planning. The results obtained allowed us to understand that the Marapanim basin has low runoff and a higher infiltration rate, due to its physical characteristics, in addition to medium to low flooding tendencies, which also occur due to the ratio of altitudes that vary from 0 to 70 meters and they are considered of low impact, indicating the need to implement actions aimed at planning related to territorial planning and the use of natural resources.

The study of nutritional properties in landrace products and the general context of its cultivation site are crucial to designing a sustainable on-farm strategy for landrace conservation. The present study describes the main nutritional aspects of two Brassica rapa subspecies rapa landraces collected in Puglia, Italy along with agroecological and socioeconomical traits where they are cultivated. The two B. rapa landraces (‘Cima di rapa dalla testa’ and ‘Cima di rapa antica’) are only found in sites at 700–800 m asl and in two landscape units (the Southern Daunian Mountains (SDM) and the Umbra Forest (UF), respectively) of the Foggia province. These rare landraces were selected by farmers to produce turnip greens/tops from ancient root turnip crops. They are named and consumed by local people in the same way as turnip tops of Brassica rapa subspecies sylvestris (‘Cima di rapa’), which are widely cultivated in Puglia. Compared to the most common ‘Cima di rapa’, the two highlighted landraces have a better nutritional profile linked to an improved content in antioxidant compounds—i.e., vitamin C (458 mg kg−1 FW), total phenols (347 mg ac. gallic equivalent kg−1 FW)—in glucosinolate (741 µmol kg FW−1, in ‘Cima di rapa antica’) and in minerals, such as K. Both landraces are deemed as having a high risk of erosion. Few exemplars are cultivated in marginal lands and urban/peri-urban areas (SDM), or in isolated sites within the UF, which is a special protection zone within Gargano National Park. However, natural, cultural, and recreational tourism are the main economic activities in both landscape units.

The tourist characterization of the communities is a key element in the correct tourist planning, since this allows to obtain technical information about the potential that a site has for its tourist development. This study consists of five parts, the first one includes general data, then information is collected on the elements that make up the tourism system, such as: tourism plant, infrastructure, government and receiving community. The main objective of this research is to know and document aspects and general characteristics of the municipality of Ruiz, looking for the elements of its tourist development, data such as the identification of the offer of accommodation, food and leisure services, infrastructure, as well as type of transport and accessibility that are available to move to the cities that make up the communication routes, health and energy services of the municipality, as well as the most important economic activities and government support that is poured into the municipality. This information is basic in the decision making of investors in tourism developments, both in the community and external. This instrument was applied through interviews with key people, in addition to gathering information through observation about the behavior and perception that the inhabitants of these communities have about the development of tourism in the municipality.

Positive Agreement

Abstract Spanish elite’s perceptions of the European Union-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) are positive given its economic and normative prospects and its compatibility with Spain’s policy objectives. Spanish Ministry officials and business representatives welcome the potential progress on market access, level-playing field, and sustainable development, as it would offer economic opportunities in the Chinese market and bilateral investment, without precluding increased monitoring of Chinese economic activities. The agreement is in line with their willingness to increase bilateral ties under a normative framework that defends Spanish interests and values. Spanish elites consider that it is compliant with Spain’s and the European Union’s strategies and characterization of China as a partner, competitor, rival, which acknowledges that China is a key economic and multilateral partner, but also promotes a unified European China strategy, European strategic autonomy, and initiatives that tackle China’s challenges related with human rights, or investments in strategic sectors. Hence, Spanish political parties supported the resolution of the European Parliament freezing an eventual ratification of the CAI whilst Chinese sactions against European stakeholders are in place. Spanish elites also value that the agreement does not prevent greater cooperation with the United States, a key ally and more significant partner than China. Some political and private groups have expressed their opposition to the agreement, but their impact is likely to be limited. Finally, the practical implications—and reception—of the agreement will depend of its implementation.

The current study was carried out at the level of the Ourika valley which is located 35 km from Marrakech and which is one of the most famous tourist sites in Morocco, in order to monitor the pollution status of the area and its impact on public health.Sampling was carried out seasonally at seven areas of the basin for the biological study (substrate samples) and at four areas for the microbiological study (water samples). The choice of areas is linked to accessibility and socio-economic activities near each area.The region is characterized by a fairly significant taxonomic richness (28 taxa identified, grouped into 6 major Orders: Ephemeroptera, Diptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera and Odonata), with less diversification in 2017 with the disappearance of five families (Hydrophylidae, Chaoboridae, Psychodidae, Ephydridae and Ephemerellidae), which could be due to the poor water quality recorded in certain areas according to the Normalized Global Biological Index, Biotic Index of New Caledonia and BioSedimentary Index.Regarding the bacteriological quality of groundwater intended for domestic consumption, the latter was found to contaminate with various faecal germs, with rates exceeding the standards with a maximum of 25x103 CFU / 100 mL for coliforms, 700 CFU / 100 mL for streptococci and 14 * 103 CFU / 20 mL for clostridiums.Following its results, good monitoring and management of resources is more than necessary to preserve biodiversity and the health of the local population.

The dynamic development in the field of Diaspora and Transnational entrepreneurship reveals a wide range of challenges and perspectives. These intensely tense up ‘conventional wisdom', stretch knowledge frontiers, and simultaneously expose fundamental paradoxes in the characterization of ethnic minorities' diaspora and transnational groups in the context of their entrepreneurship. Prior efforts at researching and advancing knowledge in this sphere have been hugely complicated, not less by the problematic of nomenclature but by researchers' application of terms. Against this background, this chapter aims to expand current understandings on the dialectic, dilemma, and paradoxical signals emitted by the events of diaspora and transnational entrepreneurship's economic activities both theoretically and practically. The significance resides in its capacity to enlarge our understanding of the dynamic process of individual agency in cross-border entrepreneurial relations.
