O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir e produzir apontamentos sobre o uso das Unidades de Conservação, federais e estaduais, localizadas no Rio de Janeiro, como unidades territoriais de planejamento governamental, relevando o ecoturismo como alternativa ao padrão primário-exportador de desenvolvimento, pautado em grandes projetos de investimento. Esse padrão degrada os biomas brasileiros, fragmenta o território e acentua desigualdades sociais e regionais. Estudos sobre o ecoturismo têm o papel de contribuir para a consolidação de uma alternativa a esse padrão de desenvolvimento. Para tanto, metodologicamente, optou-se por uma pesquisa exploratória-descritiva e por uma abordagem interdisciplinar, integrando conhecimentos, conceitos e métodos aplicados ao recorte proposto, com ênfase nas contribuições das áreas do Turismo, das Ciências Ambientais e do Planejamento Regional. Foram tecidas considerações gerais e específicas quanto aos desafios e às possibilidades de consolidação do ecoturismo como a atividade central para se avançar em um padrão de desenvolvimento integrado, participativo e de longo prazo. Ecotourism: Nature Conservation as an Alternative to Large Investment Projects (LIPs) in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil The objective of this paper is to discuss and produce notes on the use of federal and state Protect Areas located in Rio de Janeiro as territorial units for governmental planning, highlighting ecotourism as an alternative to the primary exporting pattern of development, based on large investment projects. This pattern degrades the Brazilian biomes, fragments the territory and accentuates social and regional inequalities. Studies on ecotourism have the role of contributing to the consolidation of an alternative to this pattern of development. For that, methodologically, an exploratory-descriptive research and a interdisciplinary approach were chosen, integrating knowledge, concepts and methods applied to the proposed cut, with emphasis on the contributions of the areas of Tourism, Environmental Sciences and Regional Planning. General and specific considerations regarding the challenges and possibilities for the consolidation of ecotourism as a central activity were developed to advance an integrated, participatory and long-term development pattern.

Enzootic Cycle

After outbreaks of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Solano State, Venezuela, 5% of the population had parasitized ulcers while after similar outbreaks in Mesquita, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, 9% had the disease. In these foci children, including some under six years of age, wre affected. There was no significant difference in the occurence of the disease according to sex or type of employment. In Solano, 3% of dogs and 28% of donkeys had parasitized lesions, while in Mesquita these indices were 19.8% and 30.8% respectively. The parasite from man, dogs and equines was identified as Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, by zymodeme and serodeme characterization. In these foci there is evidence suggesting that leishmaniasis is a zoonosis, possibly with equine and dogs as reservoirs, although both a wild enzootic cycle and the role of man as a source of infection can not be ruled out. Transmission is assumed to occur peridomestically by sandfly vectors such as Lutzomyia panamensis in Venezuela and Lutzomyia intermedia in Brazil. Information about the origin of these foci suggests that infected equines may be an important factor in the dissemination of the parasite in a peridomestic situation where these sandflies are abundant.

Studies about bats biology encompassing diet, reproduction and parasitology are important to understand the role of these small animals in the ecosystem. However, few studies present such information. Therefore, the present paper was made to congregate information about biology of Phyllostomus hastatus, and compare the results between two urban parks at Rio de Janeiro City (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil): Parque Natural Municipal da Freguesia (PNMF) and Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca (PEPB), the latter being considerably larger than the other one. Long-term fieldworks were conducted in both areas and data on biometry, reproduction, parasites and diet were assembled. Animals were captured in mists nets and put in cotton sacs, from where fecal material was collected for further analysis. They were measured alive and inspected for reproductive stage; ectoparasites were collected and blood smears were made whenever possible. Bats were released at the end of the fieldwork. The feces and blood material were analyzed at the lab. Thus, 53 specimens of Phyllostomus were captured, 13 from PNMF and 40 from PEPB. We found individuals with smaller measurements at the most anthropized park – the Freguesia Park; reproduction occurred between September and December at both parks; diet included Curcubitaceae, Urticaceae, Bombacaceae, Lythraceae, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hemiptera and Diptera. Concerning ectoparasites, Diptera and Acari were recorded; no haemoparasites were found in the blood smears. Although specimens from the smaller park seem to be most affected by anthropization, our results reinforce the idea that the creation of small parks is important for species maintenance, since it may serve as ecological corridor and as a food source for the animals.

Large investment projects require raising high volumes of financial resources on the long term. There is a task now set to raise private capital into the power field more actively and to develop state-private partnership. The article analyses modern types of financing: ВОО (Build - Own - Operate) and ВООТ (Build - Own - Operate - Transfer) that allow to accumulate required financial resources, reduce investment risks and combine interests of different parts participating in a project.

In Hungary, similarly to developed countries, the share of agriculture in the GDP has declined. Even so, preparation of the sector’s long term strategy is crucial, as the role of agriculture exceeds the results represented in the GDP. Environmental and social functions of agriculture are revaluated in developed countries, and consumers at the end of the food chain actually govern the entire process. This is why information plays an increasingly important role, and gives signals (Verbeke, 2005) to the actors in the economy and society. This research area is diverse (including agricultural policy, environmental policy, rural development and sustainable development), and so I applied an interdisciplinary approach and conducted an integrated examination. The results show that in recent decades, the pressure of agriculture on the environment has been lower in Hungary than in the EU-15 and agri-environmental measures have taken hold in all types of land-use systems, even though they are more important in protected areas. Although this development provides a good basis for a long term strategy social capital has lost strength (Csath, 2002), so fostering the creation of internal and external rural networks – one instrument for this could be the Leader programme – is essential for sustainable rural development.

This research aims to determine the role of bonus allocation and balanced scorecard training in the selection of investment projects. This research used a controlled laboratory experiment method with a pretest-posttest control group experimental design which involves two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The experiment was carried out on 46 accounting graduate students as participants. The results of this research indicate that in selecting the investment projects, participants tend to comply with the bonus allocation policies and that balanced scorecard training is capable of predisposing participants to select projects that are oriented to long-term benefits by observed to financial and non-financial aspects. This research is specifically expected to contribute in the form of an illustration to the company about the importance of training related to the concepts and assignment techniques as well as an overview of the importance of providing appropriate bonus allocation bases to improve employee performance and evade opportunistic behavior
