Há muito tempo o meio natural tem se tornado uma opção de lazer, sendo o ecoturismo uma base para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico, capaz de proporcionar uma forma de valorização e conservação dos recursos sociais, culturais e naturais com vista a garantir a sustentabilidade da comunidade local onde busca ser desenvolvido. Considerando os diferentes autores e suas abordagens, o presente estudo aborda a temática do ecoturismo e sua relação com a capacitação de monitores locais, sua formação e credenciamento em um município localizado numa região com grande potencial turístico no sul do estado do Rio de Janeiro, bem como sua relação com a conservação da natureza. O objetivo geral do artigo foi sistematizar os dados do projeto realizado pelo município denominado “Monitor de Ecoturismo”. Como objetivos específicos, levantar o desenvolvimento do projeto ao longo de suas edições e apresentar a importância das atividades desenvolvidas na capacitação dos monitores locais na manutenção do patrimônio natural do município. Para o desenvolvimento do artigo, os dados foram coletados através de documentos fornecidos pelos órgãos municipais envolvidos, relatos orais de seus colaboradores, releases publicados pelo governo municipal na mídia local e observação direta nas edições do projeto. A partir do material coletado, foi sistematizado como o projeto vem sendo implementado no município ao longo do tempo. Até o presente momento foram realizadas três edições que tiveram duração variada devido alternância da Gestão Municipal e o público-alvo. Foram certificados cerca de 25 monitores em cada edição do curso, com um total de 75 formados. Eles atuam profissionalmente nos atrativos naturais localizados nas Unidades de Conservação e entorno, bem como em eventos esportivos de montanha realizados na região. O curso de formação de “Monitores de Ecoturismo” é estratégico para o desenvolvimento da atividade na região. O projeto possibilita, o envolvimento das comunidades locais com a proteção ambiental, através da disseminação do conhecimento das trilhas e também da geração de renda que o ecoturismo pode proporcionar. O projeto é continuo, já que a demanda por mão-de-obra capacitada é permanente na região. Além disso, várias trilhas e roteiros ainda precisam ser trabalhados e monitorados de forma permanente. “Conhecer para preservar”, esse é um dos princípios do Projeto “Monitor de Ecoturismo”. Conclui-se verificando que, na ausência de planejamento e de capacitação continuada, esse princípio seria impossível de ser alcançado e a conservação ambiental ameaçada. Project " Ecotourism Monitor " : A proposal of continuing education and its relationship with environmental conservation in the municipality of Resende (RJ, Brazil) ABSTRACT Long ago the natural environment has become a leisure option, being eco-tourism a basis for socio-economic development, capable of providing a form of development and preservation of social, cultural and natural resources to ensure the sustainability of the local community where seeks to be developed. Considering the different authors and their approaches, this study addresses the theme of ecotourism and its relation to the training of local monitors, their training and accreditation in a municipality located in a region with great potential for tourism in southern of the State of Rio de Janeiro, as well as its relation to nature conservation. The overall objective of the study was to systematize the project data held by the municipality called "Ecotourism Monitor". The specific objectives, raise the development of the project over their issues and present the importance of the activities performed in the training of local monitors in maintaining the natural heritage of the city. For the development of the article, the data were collected through documents provided by municipal agencies involved, oral accounts of its employees, releases published by the municipal government in the local media and direct observation in project issues. The collected material was systematized as the project is being implemented in the city over time. Until now there were three issues that had varying lengths due alternation of Municipal Management and the target audience. Were certified about 25 monitors in each edition of the course, with a total of 75 graduates. They act professionally in natural attractions located in and around protected areas, as well as in mountain sports events held in the region. The training course "Ecotourism monitors" is strategic for the development of the activity in the region. The enables project, the involvement of local communities to environmental protection, through the dissemination of knowledge of the trails and also income generation that ecotourism can provide. The project is ongoing, as the demand for labor, skilled work is permanent in region. In addition, several trails and routes still need to be worked on and monitored permanently. "Knowing to preserve" this is one of the design principles "Ecotourism Monitor". We conclude noting that, in the absence of planning and ongoing training, this principle would be impossible to be reached and the threatened environmental conservation.

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.

The Bishnumati River is one of the major sources of water in Kathmandu city for domestic and agricultural uses. But the quality of the river environment has been degraded seriously since the last few years. This paper is an attempt to explore environmental condition along the Bishnumati River with specific focus on human activities, perception and institutional efforts in dealing with the river environment. Based on field observation, household survey, and key informant survey in eight segments along the river stretch from the city periphery to down town, the information acquired indicate that human activities related to environmentally sensitive phenomena were very much dominant in degrading the river environment. The local inhabitants were aware of the river environmental conservation. The local public agencies were however not seriousness in implementing the waste management activities, but instead they practiced environmentally sensitive activities at the riverbanks. Efforts at both local community and public agencies levels are most warranted to protect the Bishnumati river environment from further degradation. The Geographical Journal of Nepal, Vol. 7, 2009: 53-60

In the city of Rio de Janeiro, the management agencies of environmental conservation units of the park type have been attempting to meet five primary objectives set by the National System for Conservation Units (NSCU), using participatory management guidelines for these units. Two of these objectives relate to the development of recreation activities that involve contact with nature and ecological tourism. This article presents the analyses and conclusions regarding the implementation of collaborative strategies with businesses to achieve such objectives; it is part of a series of research studies having a broader scope. Case studies were conducted in eight parks by means of dozens of interviews with managers and other interested social actors, as well as by documentary research and direct observation. The results suggest that the ecotourism objective is still far from being reached, and that the collaborative strategies used are not sufficient to compensate for the organizational, material and human limitations that encumber these agencies. It was also concluded for the sample that there lacks a strategic vision on the part of the three branches of government involved in the management of these parks in the sense of viewing ecotourism in the city's conservation units as a powerful means to foster local sustainable development.

The work is devoted to the consideration of the features of the territorial structure and municipal land administration of Novosibirsk. Novosibirsk has some features of the territorial structure associated with the specifics of its formation, which one way or another should be taken into account in the municipal administration of the territory. In addition to the features associated with the territorial structure, as in other cities of Russia, factors of violation of land legislation, inaccuracy and incompleteness of data on real estate, and insufficient information and cartographic support impede effective municipal management. The paper presents the main factors affecting the effectiveness of the municipal government of the city of Novosibirsk.

This paper explores how outdoor performances actively define and create the essential character of open spaces in Brazil, a country known for its overwhelming abundance of outdoor life. We investigate the importance of open spaces within the urban fabric, and consider the ways in which the history and aspirations of the local community become meaningfully woven into these spaces. We chose an open space, or largo [3], in the city of Rio de Janeiro called Largo da Carioca, which embodies the relation between collective memory and appropriation. We then consider how the Largo has consistently been used as an arena of performance despite the intense urban changes and movement of people over the last 50 years. As a way of grasping the dynamic of the activities of the Largo da Carioca we adopted two approaches: historical-evolutive and participant observation. The first concerns the evolution of the urban space of Largo da Carioca and the background of outdoor performances as a way of introducing the popular arts of Rio de Janeiro, and as a way of connecting our theoretical analysis to the field research. In the second approach we use tools and methods from ethnographic research such as field annotations, direct interviews and visual resources, like photographs and video-shooting, so as to fulfill and complement our work. We argue that the urban essence of these performances is related to the ‘inviting’ conditions of this particular urban site and to its (in)formal structures, uses and regular activities. It invites – because of its openness, formal and social largeness and amplitude – a singular melange of uses and appropriations through which the formal and social are amalgamated – for, as one informant said, it is ‘an open space of constant comings and goings’ (Igor Ferreira, 13/07/03).

The human species has an emotional connection with nature called “biophilia” (or, love for life). This connection goes from generation to generation, being one of the reasons why green spaces are present in large cities. Quinta da Boa Vista is a municipal park in Rio de Janeiro located in the São Cristóvão neighborhood in the northern part of the city. Its main attraction is the artificial lake system, a leisure attraction for the local community. This article reports the presence of Biomphalaria glabrata and Physa acuta snails around the main lake in the Quinta da Boa Vista Municipal Park in Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Seventy-one B. glabrata and twenty-seven P. acuta snails were collected. The snails were measured and examined for the presence of trematode larvae according to standardized procedures. The prevalence rate of B. glabrata was estimated at 15.5%. Rediae and cercariae resembling those of the species Typhlocoelum cucumerinum (Typhlocoelidae, Digenea) which parasitizes aquatic birds of the order Anseriformes were found. This study reinforces the importance of monitoring park lakes and ponds to better understand the risk of helminth transmission by molluscan vectors.KEY WORDS: Snails; Schistosomiasis; Digenea; Quinta da Boa Vista; Rio de Janeiro.

Among contact sports, the practice of martial arts offers a greater risk of causing dental trauma and fractures as contact with the face is more frequent. The primary objective of the research is to evaluate the incidence of mouthguard use, and the secondary objective is to verify which type has a greater predominance and the difficulties in its use correlating to the type of mouthguard used. A documentary study was carried out with 273 athletes of different contact sports, among them: MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwondo of the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was concluded that the most commonly used mouthguard is PB Boils and Bites - Type II and its level of approval is poor, interfering with the athletes’ performance, mainly in relation to the breathing factor.

The article describes the structural characteristics of the urban communities of the city of Krasnodar and the related features that impact their participation in urban conflicts. This issue is considered in a number of scientific publications, but there is a need to expand the empirical base of such studies. On the base of expert interviews conducted with both city activists, their counterparty (representatives of the municipal government) and external observers (journalists), the parameters of urban communities functioning in the process of their interaction with other conflict actors are revealed. The communities characteristics such as the predominantly territorial principle of formation, the overlap of online and offline communications in their activities, the presence of a “core” with a relatively low number of permanent participants and others are determined. Their activities are dominated by neighborly and civilian models of participation in conflicts. The possibilities of realizing one’s own interests through political interactions (participation in elections, the activities of representative bodies of power, political parties) are not yet sufficiently understood. Urban communities, as a rule, operate within the framework of conventional forms of participation in solving urgent problems, although in some cases it is possible to use confrontational methods, in particular, protest ones. In this regard, the most often used compromise, with the desire for cooperation, a strategy of behavior in interaction with opponents. The limited activating role of conflicts in the activities of communities has been established. The weak manifestation of the civil and especially political component in their activities determines the preservation of a low level of political subjectivity. This factor restrains the growth of urban communities resources and the possibility of applying competitive strategies in interaction with city government and business.
