The present article presents historical information about the periods of exploitation, transmuted in the figure of a fallacious development, which in the last 300 years, has not brought effective gains to the population residing in the Amazon. The criticism is based on the historiography of events that took place since Portuguese explorations with hinterland drugs in the 17th and 18th centuries; going through the economic cycle of rubber and mining of minerals; the exploitation of wood from the migratory flow encouraged by the military governments; reaching the present day with the production of agricultural commodities and hydroelectric enterprises. The false developmentalist conceptions make use of the extent to which the Amazon was exploited in the name of false development, said by those who exploit it in the name of progress and not as the effective and sustainable development of those who reside in the Amazon. All of this has resulted in gains for the few, resulting in the social, economic and environmental imbalance of many.

Rural areas cover the largest part of the territory of Lithuania as well as that of the whole Europe. Rural settlements are also the most abundant category in the settlement system of the country. Therefore, their social, economic, and cultural viability- as well as ecologic sustainability playan important role striving towards the goals of sustainable development. During the last years projects promoting various aspects of sustainability are implemented not only in large cities and towns, but also in smaller municipalities, nevertheless many rural settlements still are not influenced by these trends. The tendency of decrease of the population of the country, emigration, migration of young and qualified persons to larger cities and towns, poverty and unemployment cause the threat to the most fragile elements of the rural settlement system, such as steadings, manor residencies and ethnographic village settlements. In order to stop these processes it is necessary to search for means to sustain the social and economic viability of rural settlements. During the last decade significant role of cultural heritage in implementing strategies of sustainable development was universally recognized. It is acknowledged that sustainable preservation, maintenance, and use of cultural heritage, especially immovable, positively influence the social, economic, cultural and even environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Sustainable development opportunities provided by immovable cultural heritage are essential for small rural settlements which are not distinguished by important natural resources or favorable location. In this instance social and cultural viability is as much essential for preservation of immovable cultural heritage of these settlements, as immovable cultural heritage is essential for sustention of their social and economic viability. Nekilnojamojo kultūros paveldo įtaka darniam kaimo gyvenamųjų vietovių vystymuisi Santrauka Didžiąją Lietuvos, kaip ir visos Europos, teritorijos dalį sudaro kaimo vietovės, o didžiąją dalį gyvenamųjų vietovių – kaimo gyvenamosios vietovės, taigi jų socialinis, eko nominis ir kultūrinis gyvybingumas bei eko loginis tvarumas atlieka lemiamą vaidmenį siekiant šalies darnaus vystymosi tikslų. Pastaraisiais metais darnų vystymąsi skatinantys projektai jau įgyvendinami ne tik didžiuosiuose Lietuvos miestuose, bet ir mažesnėse savivaldybėse, tačiau daugelio kaimo gyvenamųjų vietovių šis procesas kol kas nepaliečia. Bendro šalies gyventojų skaičiaus mažėjimo tendencija, emigracija, jaunų ir kvalifikuo tų žmonių migracija į didžiuosius šalies miestus, skurdas ir nedarbo grėsmė kelia sunykimo grėsmę patiems jautriausiems ir kultūriniu požiūriu vertingiausiems šalies kaimo gyvenamųjų vietovių sistemos elementams, tokiems kaip vienkieminės sodybos, buvusių dvarų ir palivarkų sodybos ar etnografinės kaimų gyvenvietės. Siekiant sustabdyti šiuos neigiamus socialinius, eko nominius bei kultūriniu procesus, būtina ieškoti būdų, kaip užtikrinti kaimo gyvenamųjų vietovių socialinį bei eko nominį gyvybingumą. Pastaraisiais metais pasaulyje vis aiškiau suvokiamas kultūros paveldo vaidmuo darnaus vystymosi kontekste. Visuotinai pripažįstama, jog kultūros paveldo, ypač nekilnojamojo, apsauga, priežiūra bei naudojimas turi teigiamos įtakos darniam vystymuisi socialinėje, eko nominėje, kultūrinėje ir kt. dimensijose. Nekilnojamojo kultūros paveldo teikiamos darnaus vystymosi galimybės itin reikšmingos nedidelėms, išskirtinių gamtinių išteklių neturinčioms bei patogia geografine padėtimi nepasižyminčioms kaimo gyvenamosioms vietovėms. Jų socialinis ir eko nominis gyvybingumas kultūros paveldui išsaugoti yra toks pats svarbus, kaip ir kultūros paveldas socialinio ir eko nominio šių gyvenamųjų vietovių gyvybingumo palaikymu.

The scarcity of resources, the limited land, and the overstressing of tourism, as well as the estrangements of movement, make the insular territories relevant case studies in terms of their regional management and governance and, consequently, sustainable development. Thereby, Transportation and Infrastructures’ Sustainability in these territories is not an exception. In this regard, the present study, through exploratory tools, expects to analyze, using accessibility and connectivity indicators, the impacts over the social-economic sphere that the local Transportation and Infrastructures may deliver to the populations of the Canary Islands Archipelago. The study enables us to identify the islands of La Palma, El Hierro, Fuerteventura, and La Gomera as those with better accessibility patterns.

O presente artigo buscou identificar e analisar os impactos sociais, econômicos e ambientais da seca de 2012-2014 no município de Taperoá-PB e o papel das ações de convivência nesse contexto. A identificação dos impactos foi realizada utilizando-se o método de listagem descritiva check-list, dados bibliográficos e documentais. Para analisar as variáveis socioeconômicas e as ações de convivência foram utilizados os mesmos materiais dos impactos, exceto o check-list. Os impactos continuaram porque faltou recursos financeiros para implantar programas e as políticas públicas de convivência não foram efetivas, só aparecendo com maior intensidade quando a região estava prejudicada pela seca. Para redução dos impactos é necessário aumentar o número de cisternas, principalmente a calçadão. É necessário também perfurar poços e construir açudes, além de fazer manutenção nos que estejam com capacidade reduzida ou desativados; construir barragens subterrâneas e tanques naturais; terminar e colocar em funcionamento a Transposição do Rio São Francisco; incentivar a gestão dos recursos hídricos, criar programas que visem o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar, incentivando a fenação, silagem, meliponicultura, apicultura, criação de animais e plantas adaptados à região, dentre muitos outros.  The drought of 2012-2014 in the municipality of Taperoá-PB and the role of the coexistence actions in this context A B S T R A C TThe present article sought to identify and analyze the social, economic and environmental impacts of the drought of 2012-2014 in the municipality of Taperoá-PB and the role of the coexistence actions in this context.

As awareness has grown about the damage being done to the natural environment, limits of the earth’s finite resources, and the realities of climate change, environmental advocates have demanded sustainable development practices so that future generations will be able to meet their needs. Meanwhile, the widespread exploitation of workers in the industrial sector triggered the labor movement’s fight for social-economic justice. This focus on socio-economic justice that characterizes the labor movements is enlarged in the “sustainable development” framework which articulates triple bottom line practices that emphasize the interconnectedness of people, planet, and profit. The social work profession has joined these efforts, expanding its notion of the person-in-environment as it advocates for the needs of individuals, families, organizations, and communities. However, some scholars have problematized “sustainability,” questioning what exactly is being sustained, how sustainability is measured/evaluated, and who benefits.

Nature has made available to us a lot of resources to survive but it depends on us how to use those resources. The concept of sustainable development has evolved the term Sustainability. Sustainability builds and preserves those conditions by which humans and nature can exist in creative coordination and which will permit accomplishing the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainability word has been derived from the Latin word meaning ‘to hold’. We can say that it is a type of an ability or capacity of something which can maintain and sustain itself. If we say that an activity is sustainable, then that activity should be able to continue forever. It is being widely seen today that the attitude of pupil teachers is gradually changing in a developmental sense, due to adaptation of modern ways of living and altered lifestyle pattern. Here an attempt has been made to study the attitude towards sustainability of pupil teachers .The study included pupil teachers of Pauri Garhwal and Dehradun districts.

LABURPENA: Ustelkeria arazo larria da eta eragin txarra du herrialde baten ekonomia, politika eta gizarte garapenean. Estatuetako mugak gainditu dituenez, estatu guztien kezka da. Hori dela eta, estatuen barruko araudiekin batera, azken urteotan nazioarteko hitzarmenak ugaldu dira jarrera ustelei aurrea hartzeko eta horiek jazartzeko. Ildo horretatik ere doaz Europako Batasuna eta estatu kideak, eta fronte desberdinetatik, ustelkeriaren aurkako politika globala ari dira garatzen. Jarduketa eremu bat kontratazio publikoa da, sektore horretan ustelkeria errazago gerta daitekeelako. Artikulu honetan, eskuraketa publikoetan kutunkeria eta ustelkeria gertatzeko arriskua murrizteko hartutako neurri batzuk azaltzen dira. RESUMEN: La corrupción es un grave problema que perjudica el desarrollo económico, político y social de un país. Su generalización más allá de las fronteras nacionales, preocupa a todos los Estados. Es por ello que, junto a las normativas internas, en los últimos años se han multiplicado los convenios internacionales para prevenir y reprimir las conductas corruptas. En esa línea de actuación se encuentra también la Unión Europea y sus Estados miembros que, desde distintos frentes, vienen desarrollando una política global de lucha contra la corrupción. Uno de sus ámbitos de acción es el de la contratación pública al ser éste uno de los sectores más expuestos al riesgo de corrupción. Este artículo presenta alguna de las medidas adoptadas desde la normativa contractual para reducir el riesgo de favoritismo y corrupción en las adquisiciones públicas. ABSTRACT: Corruption is a serious problem that is detrimental to the social, economic and political development of any country. Its extension across national frontiers is a source of concern for all States. Hence, in addition to specific domestic regulations, international conventions have multiplied in recent years to prevent and to curb corrupt practices. The European Union is also moving down this road and has developed a global policy to combat corruption on various fronts. One of its areas of action is public procurement; since 2004, Directives on public procurement have provided for the mandatory exclusion from the tendering process of those tenderers who have been convicted in a final sentence of offences involving corruption. The present article approaches the study of these measures and examines their contribution to the fight against corruption in the context of public procurement.

In the article, the forma- tion and development of public administration in the Azerbaijan Republic is considered, firstly, in the context of the country’s history and culture, its natural, geographical, social, economic features; secondly, through the prism of the principles of sustainable development and the emerging trend in the formation of e-government. It is shown that over the years since independence, the Republic has managed to resolve a number of internal and external political problems, to overcome the consequences of a severe systemic crisis of the 1990s. Invariably the focus of attention of state bodies over the years has been economic issues, the problems of its diversifi- cation and the social and humanitar- ian sphere, its state, prerequisites and conditions for development. A comparative analysis based on offi- cial reports of international organi- zations shows that a number of important economic and social indi- cators of Azerbaijan are now at the same level as those of the G7 coun- tries. The achieved level of econom- ic development and implemented successful social policy became possible due to the formation of an adequate system of state and municipal government in the Republic. The article reveals the connection between the formation of an effective public administration system and the spiritual, moral, and cultural condition of society. The support by citizens of public admin- istration structures on the basis of trust creates a positive situation of synergy of management and social self-organization. It is emphasized that maintaining a sustainable development of society, its inclusive nature is possible with an advanced personnel policy in the field of public administration and the use of inno- vative technologies.
