Os estudos e o marco legal sobre zona costeira no Brasil apontam a necessidade em desenvolver o planejamento territorial de sua ocupação e ordenação através do Zoneamento Econômico-Ecológico (ZEE) com vistas à promoção da gestão integrada dos recursos naturais com sua preservação e conservação. Na Amazônia brasileira, as Áreas Protegidas ou Unidades de Conservação (UC) são conhecidas como instrumentos de gestão ambiental e foram instituídas com fins para a conservação e preservação dos recursos ambientais tanto interiores como costeiros. Na Zona Costeira Paraense (ZCPA), as UC ainda sofrem os efeitos da ausência de instrumentos que não permitem sua efetivação na constituição de novos cenários protegidos. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de Zoneamento Geoambiental da ZCPA a partir das UC estabelecidas como subsídio e contribuição para o planejamento ambiental, tendo como metodologia de análise o zoneamento proposto a partir do Processo Analítico Hierárquico – AHP e do modelo DPSIR (Força, Pressão, Estado, Impacto, Resposta). O Zoneamento apresentado pode ser utilizado como um diagnóstico ambiental para o exercício da gestão e uso do território como um ponto de partida para a implantação de uma política de ordenamento territorial da Zona Costeira Paraense (ZCPA).Palavras-chave: Gestão Ambiental, DPSIR, Paisagem, Zoneamento, Amazônia.                                                                                                                                 Geoenvironmental Zoning from Conservation Units: Subsidies for Integrated Management of the Paraense Coastal Zone – Brazil A B S T R A C TStudies and the legal framework on the coastal zone in Brazil point to the need to develop the territorial planning of their occupation and ordering through the Economic-Ecological Zoning (ZEE) with a view to promoting the integrated management of natural resources with their preservation and conservation. In the Brazilian Amazon, the Protected Areas or Conservation Units (UC) are known as instruments of environmental management and were established for the purpose of conserving and preserving both inland and coastal environmental resources. In the Paraense Coastal Zone (ZCPA), UCs still suffer the effects of the absence of instruments that do not allow their effectiveness in the constitution of new protected scenarios. This article aims to present a proposal for ZCPA Geoenvironmental Zoning from the UCs established as a subsidy and contribution to environmental planning, having as analysis methodology the zoning proposed from the Hierarchical Analytical Process - AHP and the DPSIR model (Força, Pressure, State, Impact, Response). The Zoning presented can be used as an environmental diagnosis for the exercise of management and use of the territory as a starting point for the implementation of a territorial planning policy for the Coastal Zone of Pará (ZCPA).Keywords: Environmental Management, DPSIR, Landscape, Zoning, Amazon.

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.

This article provides a quantitative description of flora specimens stored in the Jardim Botânico of Rio de Janeiro Herbarium that belongs to the Federal Conservation Units of Caatinga’s phytogeography domain. The Caatinga represents 11% of Brazilian territory and is, in South America, the largest and most biodiverse semi-arid tropical ecoregion, yet only 5% of its territory is covered by Federal Conservation Units, with few collections of flora samples. Thus, providing a georeferenced inventory of existing collections is essential for purposes of species distribution, environmental management and conservation. The aim of this data paper is to gauge, by means of geographic coordinates correction and retrieval of the flora specimens present in the RB Herbarium, the amount of specimen gatherings performed in the Federal Conservation Units belonging to the Caatinga domain. Currently, the RB data is publicly available online at several biodiversity portals, such as our institutional database JABOT, the Reflora Virtual Herbarium, the SiBBr and the GBIF portal (Lanna et al. 2019). However, a description of the dataset that belongs to the Federal Conservation Units of Caatinga’s phytogeography domain as a whole is not yet available in the literature.

As Unidades de Conservação são áreas que visam à proteção da biodiversidade e dos recursos naturais, sua ligação com as práticas de ecoturismo dão suporte ao manejo dessas áreas, uma vez que esta é uma atividade que visa à aproximação dos visitantes e da população do entorno. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar os bio-geoindicadores aplicados ao planejamento de ecoturismo em unidades de conservação localizadas na Região Metropolitana de Belém – Pará (RMB). O método adotado foi de levantamento das práticas do ecoturismo in loco, pesquisa de dados secundários e emprego do modelo “Vulnerabilidade-Pressão-Estado-Impacto-Risco-Resposta”, que possibilita identificar os principais elementos de atuação no processo. Os resultados indicaram que as unidades de conservação do Parque Ambiental do Utinga (localizado na Área de Proteção Ambiental de Belém) e do Parque Antônio Danúbio (no município de Ananindeua) são favoráveis ao ecoturismo e a execução continuada de ações de educação ambiental envolvendo as pessoas residentes nas áreas de influência direta destas unidades. Com relação a unidade de conservação do Combu, os bares e restaurantes existentes atuam como atrativos, sendo estratégicos para o turismo local. A análise de “Vulnerabilidade-Pressão-Estado-Impacto-Risco-Resposta” demonstrou que as pressões mais intensas são associadas ao crescimento desordenado da RMB, que traz consigo a produção de resíduos, a falta de saneamento, a poluição hídrica e a construção irregular de unidades prediais. As respostas admitidas para a situação de risco instalada indicam que que deve haver uma maior fiscalização dentro dos Parques; e que os projetos que envolvam o turismo sejam mais explorados, com uma maior regularidade e duração. Bio-geoindicators applied to the ecotourism in conservation units located in urban spaces ABSTRACT The Conservation Units are areas that aimed the protection of biodiversity and the natural resources. Their link with the practices of ecotourism support the management of these areas once this activity aimed the visitor and community approximation. The present project aims to identify the bio-geoindicators applied to the planning of ecotourism located in the Metropolitan Region of Belém - Pará (RMB). The survey was conducted based on ecotourism practices on the unit conservations of this study and research of secondary data and documentary. The analysis process employs the model of “Vulnerability-Pressure-State-Impact-Response-Risk”, which allows identifying the variables of intervention in each unit. The results specify the practices of ecotourism in the Conservation Units of Utinga Environmental Park (located in Environmental Protection Area of Belém) and Antônio Danúbio Park (in Ananindeua city), proved favorable to ecotourism, through activities on ecological trails and environmental education involving people who live in the areas of direct influence of these units. In the Conservation Units of Combu, bars and restaurants has become only attractive strategy for local tourism. The “Vulnerability-Pressure-State-Impact-Response-Risk” showed that the most intense pressures are associated with disordered growth of the Metropolitan Region of Belém, which brings with it the production of waste, lack of sanitation, water pollution and the construction of irregular unit buildings. The answers admitted to the risk identified indicate that there should be greater oversight inside the Parks; and the tourism projects must be more explored, with regularity and duration.

The starting point of the research project was the hypothesis that the "principle of proportionality", which is fundamental to law, is related to the "economic principle". The resulting methodological similarities were intended to enable a cross-disciplinary bridge to be built, which would allow the findings of economic analysis to be made fruitful for legal issues. This was practically tested in three study areas in order to be able to better classify the performance of the analytical tools. The foundations for interdisciplinary bridge building are found in the rational-choice paradigm. In both disciplines, this paradigm calls for an examination of the relationship between the purpose-means-relations: among the design options under consideration, the one must be selected that is expected to be as (freedom- or resource-) sparing as possible, in other words, the most "waste-free" solution to the control problem.The results of the economic analysis can thus be "translated" in such a way that, within the framework of "necessity", they support the search for control instruments that are equivalent to the objective but less disruptive. supports. The core of the positive economic analysis is the motivational situation of those actors whose behavior is to be influenced by a changed legal framework. In this context, the classical behavioral model of economics proved to be too limited. It therefore had to be developed further in line with the findings of research in institutional economics into homo oeconomicus institutionalis. This behavioral model takes into account not only the consequentialist, strictly situational utility orientation of the model person, but also other factors influencing behavior, including above all those that are institutionally mediated. If one takes the motivational situation of the actors as the starting point for policy-advising design recommendations, it becomes apparent that an understanding of governance dominated by imperative behavioral specifications leads to less favorable results, both in terms of the degree to which goals are achieved and in terms of the freedom-impairing effects, than a mixed-instrument approach oriented toward the model of "responsive regulation." According to this model, the law can no longer simply assume that those subject to the law will "obediently" execute the legal commands. It must ask itself what other factors determine behavior and under what boundary conditions changes can be expected in the direction of the desired behavior. For this reason, too, it must engage with the cognitive program of the behavioral sciences. This linkage opens up new perspectives for interdisciplinary research on the consequences of laws.

Farm Buildings

Over the centuries, farm buildings, which accompany the development of agriculture, have played an important role in defining spatial and environmental planning. In some European countries in particular, these rural structures have been built based on traditional agricultural needs and typical land characteristics. Considering the land abandonment that has occurred over the last five decades, with farmers moving to more comfortable residences in neighboring urban settlements, historical farm buildings have often been abandoned, thus causing a leakage of the historical-cultural heritage of the rural landscape. Nowadays, open data and geographic technologies together with advanced technological tools allow us to gather multidisciplinary information about the specific characteristics of each farm building, thus improving our knowledge. This information can greatly support the protection of those buildings and landscapes that have high cultural and naturalistic value. In this paper, the potential of Geographic Information Systems to catalogue the farm buildings of the Basilicata region (Southern Italy) is explored. The analysis of these buildings, traditionally known as masserie, integrates some typical aspects of landscape studies, paving the way for sustainable management of the important cultural heritage represented by vernacular farm buildings and the rural landscape.
