Por conta dos megaeventos, da relativa pacificação da cidade e do consequente aumento do fluxo turístico no Rio de Janeiro, foi previsto que o número de visitantes nas áreas protegidas cariocas duplicará entre 2012 e 2014, trazendo novos desafios à gestão das unidades de conservação do Rio de Janeiro. Assim, diferentes estratégias estão sendo colocadas em prática para aumentar a efetividade da conservação, quais sejam a criação do Mosaico Carioca, grupo gestor que cuida da gestão conjunta das quase trinta áreas protegidas da cidade, a implantação de uma trilha de longo curso e a redefinição dos limites das unidades já criadas. Nesse contexto, a Secretaria Municipal de Meio Ambiente e Conservação do Rio solicitou à Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - UNIRIO um estudo sobre o uso público e sobre diferentes estratégias de gestão para três unidades justapostas e praticamente abandonadas pelo poder público, as Áreas de Proteção Ambiental dos Morros São João e Babilônia e Leme e Urubu, e do Parque Estadual do Chacrinha. Esse estudo foi o 1o a especificamente diagnosticar os usos dessa ‘ilha natural’ em meio a urbes carioca e a propor a união dessas três unidades em um Parque, fundamentado nas potencialidades do ecoturismo, incluindo a proteção da natureza, a educação ambiental e a geração de emprego e renda para a população do entorno. Esse Parque, denominado Parque Natural Municipal da Paisagem Carioca, foi criado pelo prefeito do Rio de Janeiro em Junho de 2013, sendo o 1o no Brasil a ser criado com base em estudos sociais / turísticos e não em estudos biológicos / ambientais, rompendo, assim, um velho paradigma. Este artigo apresenta alguns dos resultados do estudo mencionado. Tendo como foco o uso público atual, a saber ecoturismo, educação ambiental e atividades de lazer ao ar livre, este artigo apresenta as três unidades e avalia cinco diferentes estratégias de gestão. Municipal Natural Park of Carioca Landscape (RJ, Brazil): ecotourism and sustainability ABSTRACT Due to the megaevents planned for the next years, to the pacification of the city and to the consequent increase in the tourism flow visiting the city of Rio de Janeiro, it was foreseen that the number of visitors in the cariocas’ protected areas would duplicate between 2012 and 2014, bringing new challenges to the management of the mentioned areas. Thus, different strategies to increase the effectiveness of conservation are being applied. For example, a management group, namely Carioca Mosaic, was established to allow joint management of Rio’s thirty protected areas, a long course track is being implemented and the limits of the areas are being redefined. In this context, the Environment and Conservation Department of the Rio de Janeiro City requested to the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro - UNIRIO studies about the public use and management of three protected areas largely abandoned by the public power. These units are: São João and Babilonia Mounts Protected Area, Leme and Urubu Mounts Protected Area and the Chacrinha State Park. This present study is the first one to diagnose the use of this "natural island" and to propose their junction in one Park. This proposal was based on ecotourism potentialities, such as the protection of nature, environmental education and of job and income generation for nearby populations. This article presents the three mentioned protected areas and the evaluation of five different management strategies, pointing out the best one of then, which was the creation of the Municipal Natural Park of the Carioca Landscape, already inaugurated by the major of the Rio de Janeiro City in June 2013. This is the first Brazilian Park created based on tourism social studies and not on environmental and biological research, breaking, thus, an old paradigm. In this paper, the three natural areas are presented and five different managerial strategies are evaluated. KEYWORDS: Protected Areas; Ecotourism; Adaptive Management.

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY OF MANUCOCO PROTECTED AREA COMMUNITY BASED IN ADMINISTRATIVE CITY OF ATAURO, DILI TIMOR-LESTEManucoco Protected Area is a mountainous conservation area which is very important for Atauro community because it functions as water catchment areas, especially water sources, important habitat for birds and other biodiversity, but there are still problems that occur such as deforestation, shifting cultivation, system of slash-and-burn cultivation, area zoning is not clear, the expansion of settlements and forest fires, all of these problems can give a less impact on ecological functions of the forest. The aims of this study are 1) to describe the perception of the public about the conservation of natural resources Manucoco Protected Area as a conservation area 2) to formulate management strategies for community-based Manucoco Protected Area. The data collection techniques used questionnaires, interviews, documentation, and focus group discussions, whereas the determination of the respondents used a purposive sampling method. To formulate a management strategy, internal and external factors were identified by using SWOT analysis. The results showed that the public perception of the function of the forest was that the forests had multiple functions, the public perception related to management policies showed that people did not know the forestry legislations. Public perception regarding the rights and obligations in the management strategy namely the public has the perception that forests are common property. Based on the SWOT analysis produced several community-based management strategies that can be used in the management of Manucoco protected areas as follow 1) Maximizing the primary function of forests, (2) Increasing public knowledge through an intensive socialization (3) Increasing the involvement or participation of the community 4) Encouraging the community-based forests protection through HKM 5) Acceleration of area zoning 6) Increasing related department supervision 7) Performing the empowerment of communities around the protected areas 8) Preparing management plans which needs to involve all stakeholders 9) Establishing the management unit in the village/sub-district levels.

The city of Rio de Janeiro presents several rocky outcrops, considered climbing sites, but presenting a characteristic, complex and sensitive flora. The present study aimed to survey flora and climber knowledge concerning the local vegetation in three Conservation Units in the city. A total of 44 species from 19 botanical families were identified by our group in climbing and track trails. As climbers are important users of these routes, 60 responded questionnaires to identify the possible presence of botanical blindness. Over 90% of the interviewed climbers understood the importance of conservation units and see the plants surrounding the trails, but were unable to identify most species. Therefore, plant blindness was identified, despite climber respect for nature. In addition, gaps were noted concerning climbing course contents on Botany and Environment in the assessed protected areas.

In the next few years Brazil will receive the largest sum of investment in urban transport in the history of the country for the coming mega sports events. Theoretically, these investments should address the transport crisis that Brazilian cities are experiencing. The paper shows that the issue of transportation is present on the public agenda and in planning connected with mega events in strictly engineering terms. The ‘question of urban transportation' is introduced and a discussion is given of its connection with the preparation of cities for the mega sports events starting with Rio de Janeiro. Here the huge resources involved will probably have deep impacts on urban dynamics and on the socio-spatial configuration of the city without, however, providing solutions to the long standing transportation problems of the more vulnerable population groups.

After the construction of its wastewater treatment plants, the City of Quebec began to implement overflow control in wet weather to ultimately meet the effluent discharge objectives, i.e. no more than two overflows per summer season in the St. Lawrence River and no more than four in the St-Charles River. After several years of studies to determine which management strategies would best suit the purpose, and to propose optimum solutions, a first project to implement optimal and predictive management in real time, called « Pilot », came to life in 1999. Construction in phases soon followed and the work was completed in the fall of 2009. As a result, requirements with regard to environmental rejects were met in two sectors, namely the St-Charles River and the Jacques-Cartier Beach, and aquatic recreational activities could resume. Meanwhile, the City also worked at giving back access to the water courses to the public by developing sites at the Jacques-Cartier Beach and in the Bay of Beauport, and by rehabilitating the banks of the St-Charles River.

SUMMARYPrivate protected areas (PPAs) are a board category that includes reserves established and managed by non-government entities, including civil society organizations, businesses and private individuals. It was recently suggested that the creation of a system of PPAs in Brazil may act as a useful model for extending protected area systems internationally. While it is clear that RPPNs have an important role to play in the future development of Brazil's protected area system, there are several significant challenges that need to be overcome if they are fulfil their potential: (1) ensuring that RPPNs contribute to coverage and representation; (2) ensuring adequate governance; and (3) increasing the attractiveness of the RPPN model. While it is still too early to determine whether RPPNs constitute a robust PPA model that could (or should) be exported to other countries, they are creating new opportunities for innovation and novel management strategies that might eventually lead to a vibrant and distinctly Brazilian protected area movement.

Considering the current issues the urban centers are dealing with, the amplified city competitiveness and the increased demand of qualitative public services, it appears the need to apply new urban management approaches, more oriented toward the market and the current needs of the city. The competitive environment pressure creates the need to pass from an entirely administrative approach to a more managerial one, in all aspects regarding the current problems of the cities. Thus, the urban stakeholders borrow more and more often working methods and techniques specific until now only for the private sector, in order to increase the public service’s performance and to sustainable develop their community. Urban marketing came as a natural response to the cities needs to bring added value to their urban management strategies. The final objective is to increase the cities attractiveness for different target groups: starting with the current and future inhabitants, continuing with tourists and finishing with potential investors, which by relocating their business, could become a part of the faster and more sustainable urban development.

AbstractBrazil is a dengue-endemic country where all four dengue virus serotypes circulate and cause seasonal epidemics. Recently, chikungunya and Zika viruses were also introduced. In Rio de Janeiro city, the three diseases co-circulated for the first time in 2015-2016, resulting in what is known as the ‘triple epidemic’. In this study, we identify space-time clusters of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, to understand the dynamics and interaction between these simultaneously circulating arboviruses in a densely populated and heterogeneous city.We conducted a spatio-temporal analysis of weekly notified cases of the three diseases in Rio de Janeiro city (July 2015 – January 2017), georeferenced by 160 neighbourhoods, using Kulldorff’s scan statistic with discrete Poisson probability models.There were 26549, 13662, and 35905 notified cases of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, respectively. The 17 dengue clusters and 15 Zika clusters were spread all over the city, while the 14 chikungunya clusters were more concentrated in the North and Downtown areas. Zika clusters persisted over a longer period of time. The multivariate scan statistic – used to analyse the three diseases simultaneously – detected 17 clusters, nine of which included all three diseases.This is the first study exploring space-time clustering of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika in an intraurban area. In general, the clusters did not coincide in time and space. This is probably the result of the competition between viruses for host resources, and of vector-control attitudes promoted by previous arbovirus outbreaks. The main affected area – the North region – is characterised by a combination of high population density and low human development index, highlighting the importance of targeting interventions in this area. Spatio-temporal scan statistics have the potential to direct interventions to high-risk locations in a timely manner and should be considered as part of the municipal surveillance routine as a tool to optimize prevention strategies.Author summaryDengue, an arboviral disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, has been endemic in Brazil for decades, but vector-control strategies have not led to a significant reduction in the disease burden and were not sufficient to prevent chikungunya and Zika entry and establishment in the country. In Rio de Janeiro city, the first Zika and chikungunya epidemics were detected between 2015-2016, coinciding with a dengue epidemic. Understanding the behaviour of these diseases in a triple epidemic scenario is a necessary step for devising better interventions for prevention and outbreak response. We applied scan statistics analysis to detect spatio-temporal clustering for each disease separately and for all three simultaneously. In general, clusters were not detected in the same locations and time periods, possibly due to competition between viruses for host resources, and change in behaviour of the human population (e.g. intensified vector-control activities in response to increasing cases of a particular arbovirus). Neighbourhoods with high population density and social vulnerability should be considered as important targets for interventions. Particularly in the North region, where clusters of the three diseases exist and the first chikungunya cluster occurred. The use of space-time cluster detection can direct intensive interventions to high-risk locations in a timely manner.

ABSTRACT: Decision-making in protected areas is often difficult due to an unclear definition of management objectives and indicators for their monitoring. This is frequently related to the coexistence of systems of protected areas at national and regional levels for which management objectives are ambiguous or that are not directly related to protected areas classification standards. In this study, we proposed a participative model based on PROMETHEE II to find consensual protected areas categories based on IUCN framework. This model involved the stakeholder’s assessments of management objectives in a protected area and their aggregation based on distance comparisons with objectives of international protected areas standards. The model was tested in the Albufera de Valencia Natural Park, a strongly human-modified wetland located in Eastern Spain and it allowed the identification of consensual management priorities and the IUCN category V as the equivalent international protected area category for this regional protected area.
