O segmento do ecoturismo foi objeto de políticas públicas específicas para o seu desenvolvimento em âmbito nacional e em especial na Amazônia. Com este artigo, objetiva-se analisar a implementação da política pública de ecoturismo para a região Amazônica, com recorte no Programa de Desenvolvimento do Ecoturismo na Amazônia Legal (PROECOTUR), no polo Belém/Costa Atlântica. Busca-se, ainda, analisar a participação dos atores sociais nesse processo bem como a contribuição do Programa para o desenvolvimento sustentável na área em questão. Para a coleta dos dados que subsidiaram este artigo foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográfica, documental – incluindo fotografias e mapas – e pesquisa de campo. Em conclusão, tem-se, entre outros, que o processo de descontinuidade do PROECOTUR ocorreu em razão de fatores de ordem administrativa, política e econômica; que a participação dos atores não ocorreu como previsto, pois os Grupos Técnicos Operacionais (GTO) do polo não foram criados; que o turismo no polo em questão encontra-se pouco estruturado; e que a implementação do Programa não foi monitorada ou avaliada, em momento algum, pela Unidade de Gerenciamento do Programa (UGP) ou pelo Núcleo de Gerenciamento do Programa (NGP)/PROECOTUR-PA. The politics of Ecotourism in Belém/Atlantic Coast Pole (PA, Brazil) ABSTRACT: The segment of ecotourism has been the subject of specific policies for their development at the national level and in particular in the Amazon.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the implementation of the public politics of ecotourism for the Amazon Region, with a cutting out in the Development Program of the Ecotourism in the Amazon (PROECOTUR), in the Belém/Atlantic Coast Pole. Another aim is to analyze the participation of the social actors in this process, as well as the contribution of this Program for the sustainable development in the area under consideration. To collect the data that supported this article bibliographical, documentary research – including photographs and maps – and fieldwork were conducted. In conclusion, we have, among others, that the discontinuity process of PROECOTUR occurred due to administrative, political and economic factors; that the participation of the actors did not occur as expected, because the Technical Operational Groups (TOG) of the Pole were not created; that tourism on the pole in question is little structured; and that the implementation of the program was not monitored or evaluated, at some point, by the Program Management Unit (PMU) or the Center for Program Management (CPM)/PROECOTUR-PA.

O artigo analisa como o turismo solidário está sendo desenvolvido no Complexo do Alemão e a apropriação da proposta pelos atores sociais locais. O entendimento do contexto no qual as ações de turismo ocorrem, à luz da fenomenologia, é fundamental para a identificação dos entraves e das potencialidades existentes no processo de implementação do turismo solidário neste espaço, tendo em vista a pretensão de se incluir, no processo de pesquisa, os atores sociais, de forma interativa, e de estabelecer compromissos dos pesquisadores com a produção do conhecimento e com o desenvolvimento da sociedade, o que exige a adoção da metodologia pesquisa-ação transdisciplinar, por esta abordagem se inserir numa perspectiva humanista da ciência. O entendimento da pesquisa-ação como estratégia de conhecimento voltada para a resolução de problemas da realidade justifica sua opção e consolida a perspectiva de envolver pesquisadores e atores em processos de participação ativa, de reconhecimento da multidimensionalidade da realidade, de identificação e hierarquização de problemas, de mediação de conflitos, de desenvolvimento da episteme complexa dos sujeitos e de construção de ações com base em princípios ético-solidários. As relações complexas que o turismo estabelece com outras iniciativas existentes no Complexo do Alemão, de caráter socioambiental, apontam os indicadores do turismo solidário como relevantes para a análise do fenômeno turístico enquanto fator contribuinte do desenvolvimento local. Neste artigo, destaca-se parte desse processo, cujas ações resultaram no início do processo de implantação do turismo solidário no Complexo do Alemão, na divulgação de um documentário e na apresentação das dificuldades e dos conflitos que os moradores vivenciam na luta pela sua emancipação. Atualmente, um grupo mobilizado aposta no turismo solidário como forma de promover a gestão do turismo, os aprendizados mútuos baseados em saberes locais e o desenvolvimento sustentável de comunidades. Socioenvironmentalism and solidarity tourism in Complexo do Alemão (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) ABSTRACT The article examines how solidarity tourism is being developed at the Complexo do Alemão and how the social actors are taking ownership of this proposal. Understanding the context in which the tourism occur, in light of phenomenology, is essential to identify obstacles and existing potentialities in the implementation of solidarity tourism in this location. The research includes the social actors interactively in its process and establishes commitment of the researchers with the production of knowledge and the development of society. In order to achieve this, transdisciplinary action-research methodology is used because this approach inserts a humanist perspective of science. The understanding of action-research as a strategy for building knowledge which is focused on solving problems of reality justifies this choice of method and consolidates the perspective of involving researchers and actors in the process of active participation, recognizing the multidimensional nature of reality, identifying and prioritizing problems, mediating conflicts, developing subject´s complex episteme and building actions based on ethical and solidarity principles. The complex relationships that tourism establishes with other existing initiatives of a socioenvironmental nature in the Complexo do Alemão points towards the solidarity tourism indicators as relevant to the analysis of the tourism phenomenon as a contributing factor of local development. In this article, we highlight part of this process, whose actions resulted in the early deployment of solidarity tourism in Complexo do Alemão, publicize a documentary and present the difficulties and conflicts that residents experience in their struggle for emancipation. Currently, a mobilized group bet in solidarity tourism as a way to promote tourism management, mutual learning based on local knowledge and the sustainable development of communities.

Studies on ecological modernization have produced a fruitful discussion concerning the connection between society and nature based on the evolution of socio-political institutions. However, the question from the individual’s perspective and their evaluation of the environmental institutions’ modernization remains unsystematically explored. This paper introduces the actor’s narratives on what I called time and space restructuration to define a sensitive method to explore the socio-ecological controversies produced by the enactment of a new environmental institution at the national level. The paper reconstructs the social discourse in relation to the exponential growth of Chilean extractive industries, which run in parallel with the government’s intent to ensure high levels of sustainability through institutional changes that occurred between 1990 and 2015. The main argument proposes that rendering the ecological modernization as a final stage of institutional improvement obscures a controversial reorganization of actions and roles at the environmental level. From this perspective, the clash between different organizations of time and space at the environmental level, among different social actors, offers a valid perspective on the re-emergence of socio-ecological conflicts.

Indonesia as a developing country continues to make improvements in the program and policy of quality of life and human resources development. The new vision of Indonesia’s president is 'SDM unggul Indonesia maju’ and this vision also applied by government today shows that the government is serious about improving human resources quality. The sustainable development program is the benchmark for how seriousness of this country performs evaluation and improvement for a fair and prosperous welfare of society. The pattern of community-based development has been integrated and structured into a challenge in the policy model of sustainable program. This paper focuses on the development issue of rural communities with critical to the thought of functional structural theories. The approach used is qualitative study of the library by using scientific research of both articles, journals, as well as related agency data. This paper explains that the social structure that occurs in rural communities, gives an unsubstantial impact on the development of the poor. Then, the development that is still on the functional structural is the benchmark in overcoming the reality of poverty in the rural community today. Nevertheless, the development of functional structural perspectives is still difficult to be contributed to the significance of Community welfare development. It is concluded that community development programs are still loaded with importance and vulnerable to being politicized by the elite.

Cultural Embeddedness

Analogously to the works in the field of new social studies of childhood, this contribution deals with the concept of childhood as a social construction, in which children are considered as social actors in their own living environment, engaged in interpretive reproduction of the social. In this perspective the concept of agency is strongly stressed, and the vulnerability of children is not sufficiently taken into account. But in combining vulnerability and agency lies the possibility to consider the perspective of the subjects in the context of their social, political and cultural embeddedness. In this paper we show that what children say, what is important to them in general and for their well-being, is shaped by the care experiences within the family and by their social contexts. The argumentation for the intertwining of vulnerability and agency is exemplified by the expressions of an interviewed girl about her birth and by reference to philosophical concepts about birth and natality.

Reflection about the role of community engagement and corporate social investment in Brazil, associated with the presence of a large economic enterprise, is the major stimulus of this chapter. It seeks to present how cross-sector governance can contribute to the social development of a city and how this process can be led by a partnership comprising a corporate foundation, government, and civil society. The concept of the public–private social partnership (PPSP) is explored: a strategy for building a series of inter-sectoral alliances aimed at promoting the sustainable development of territories where the company has large-scale enterprises, through joint efforts towards integrated long-term strategic planning, around a common agenda. To this end, the case of Canaã dos Carajás is introduced, a municipality in the State of Pará, in the Amazon region, where large-scale mining investment is being carried out by the mining company Vale SA.

Global Indicators

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are high on the agenda for most countries of the world. In its publication of the SDGs, the UN has provided the goals and target descriptions that, if implemented at a country level, would lead towards a sustainable future. The IAEG (InterAgency Expert Group of the SDGs) was tasked with disseminating indicators and methods to countries that can be used to gather data describing the global progress towards sustainability. However, 2030 Agenda leaves it to countries to adopt the targets with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances. At present, guidance on how to go about this is scant but it is clear that the responsibility is with countries to implement and that it is actions at a country level that will determine the success of the SDGs. Reporting on SDGs by country takes on two forms: i) global reporting using prescribed indicator methods and data; ii) National Voluntary Reviews where a country reports on its own progress in more detail but is also able to present data that are more appropriate for the country. For the latter, countries need to be able to adapt the global indicators to fit national priorities and context, thus the global description of an indicator could be reduced to describe only what is relevant to the country. Countries may also, for the National Voluntary Review, use indicators that are unique to the country but nevertheless contribute to measurement of progress towards the global SDG target. Importantly, for those indicators that relate to the security of natural resources security (e.g., water) indicators, there are no prescribed numerical targets/standards or benchmarks. Rather countries will need to set their own benchmarks or standards against which performance can be evaluated. This paper presents a procedure that would enable a country to describe national targets with associated benchmarks that are appropriate for the country. The procedure builds on precedent set in other countries but in particular on a procedure developed for the setting of Resource Quality Objectives in South Africa. The procedure focusses on those SDG targets that are natural resource-security focused, for example, extent of water-related ecosystems (6.6), desertification (15.3) and so forth, because the selection of indicator methods and benchmarks is based on the location of natural resources, their use and present state and how they fit into national strategies.

Marxist criticism is most discernible; despite the oft-repeated claim that it is now irrelevant, belonging to an age now past. This essay assumes that criticism originating in the Marxist school of thought continue to be relevant also in this present time; though it may need to be further developed and improved by integrating newer critical approaches into the classic Marxist discourse. This essay therefore integrates basic Marxist ideas with key concepts from ‘social systems theory’; especially the theory of the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann's. In this light, capitalism is conceptualized here as a ‘super (social) system’: a meaning-creating social entity, in which social actors, behaviors and structures are realized. This theoretical concept and terminology emphasizes the social construction of control and stability, when discussing the operational logic of capitalism.

Balancing the social, economic and environmental priorities for public health is at the core of the United Nations (UN) approaches to sustainable development, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The four dimensions of sustainable diets are often presented as health, society, economics, and the environment. Although sustainable diet research has focused on health and the environment, the social and economic dimensions of sustainable diets and food systems should not be forgotten. Some research priorities and sociocultural indicators for sustainable healthy diets and food systems are outlined in this report. The present goal is to improve integration of the social dimension into research on food and nutrition security.
