O desenvolvimento de políticas públicas para mitigar os longos períodos de escassez de água no semiárido começou pela construção de açudes públicos e privados. A seca sempre existiu, mas só veio a ter maior notoriedade social e política a partir da seca de 1877, em que milhares de pessoas morreram. A dinâmica social e econômica do Nordeste brasileiro, especialmente, das zonas sertanejas é influenciada pelas adversidades climáticas, o que levou a construção de pequenos reservatórios para segurança hídrica das populações atingidas pela seca. Na sub-bacia hidrográfica do rio Jaibaras foram construídos dois açudes para manutenção da segurança hídrica da região. O primeiro, o açude Ayres de Souza, concluído em 1936, e o segundo, em 2012, o Taquara. Ambos os reservatórios são direcionados ao abastecimento das populações locais, contribuindo para atenuar os efeitos da seca, como aconteceu nos últimos 5 anos.Palavras-chaves: Gestão; reservatórios, segurança hídrica. ABSTRACTThe development of public policies to mitigate long periods of water shortage in semi-arid zone started with the constructions of public and private damns. The drought has always existed but reached public and political notoriety in 1877 with the huge drought which cause the death of many people. The social and economic dynamics in Brazilian Northeast, mainly in countryside areas, is influenced by climatic adversities which leads the constructions of small damns for hydric security in populations affected by drought. In hydrographic sub-basin of Jaibaras’s river were built two damns for hydric security in this area. The damns, Ayres de Souza and Taquara, were concluded in 1936 and 2012, respectively. Both are used for human water supply and subsidize the drought effects as has happened in the last 5 years.Keywords: Management; damns; hydric security;

The present research aims to study social technology in Mucambo, Pedra de Fogo, and Pajeú, based on an approach to the elements that make up the Coreaú Watershed. The Brazilian Northeast has been a region punished by the lack of water due to irregular rainfall. Such a problem, which has been part of the reality in that region, is, among other factors, accompanied by a population that shows resistance to the difficulties related to water conditions. The manuscript discusses social technology in the Mucambo outback, which stores water during the rainy season to be used by humans and in agriculture in the drought period. This aspect is significant because of the water shortage in the dry season in the location. This way, social technology grant water assistance to the population, providing security for this resource. The results highlight the social technology benefits, being the most significant water source for families living in rural areas. Given the research results, the cisterns are relevant for consumption and production in rural areas since people reported that they store water in good quality.

O processo de desertificação é um fenômeno que atinge diversas áreas do planeta Terra, sendo ocasionada por variações climáticas aliadas ao uso inadequado dos solos em zonas áridas, semiáridas e subúmidas secas. A pesquisa apresenta natureza exploratória e base teórica alicerçada na abordagem sistêmica, com levantamento bibliográfico de artigos publicados em eventos científicos, periódicos, dissertações e teses, de várias áreas, mas principalmente ligadas à Geografia. Os resultados permitem afirmar o emprego de diferentes abordagens e, portanto, de distintos resultados obtidos nas pesquisas relacionadas à desertificação. Contudo, é notório que os aspectos relativos às particularidades físico-ambientais e socioeconômicas das Áreas Suscetíveis à Desertificação (ASD) de cada um dos nove estados do Nordeste brasileiro (NEB) são decorrentes desses fatores e objetiva apontar potencialidades e limitações, com o propósito de orientar ações governamentais para criação de políticas públicas e estratégias para mitigação dos impactos e/ou convivência socioambiental com o referido processo.Palavras-chave: Áreas Suscetíveis à Desertificação; Indicadores; Semiárido; Nordeste Brasileiro.DESERTIFICATION PANORAMA IN THE NORTHEAST OF BRAZIL: Characteristics and susceptibilitiesABSTRACTThe desertification process is a phenomenon that affects several areas of the planet Earth, being caused by climatic variations associated to the inadequate use of the soils in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid zones. The research presents an exploratory nature and theoretical basis based on the systemic approach, with a bibliographical survey of articles published in scientific events, periodicals, dissertations and theses, in several areas, but mainly related to Geography. The results allow to affirm the use of different approaches and, therefore, of different results obtained in the research related to desertification. However, it is notorious that the aspects related to the physical-environmental and socio-economic particularities of the Areas Susceptible to Desertification (ASD) of each of the nine Brazilian Northeast (NEB) states are derived from these factors and aim to point out potentialities and limitations, with the purpose of Guide government actions to create public policies and strategies to mitigate impacts and / or social and environmental coexistence with said process.Keywords: Environmental Degradation; Indexes; Semiarid Region.PANORAMA DE LA DESERTIFICACIÓN EN EL NORESTE DE BRASIL: Características y susceptibilidadesRESUMENEl proceso de desertificación es un fenómeno que afecta a muchas áreas del planeta Tierra, siendo causado por los cambios climáticos combinados con el uso inadecuado de la tierra en el sub-áridas, semiáridas y secas. La investigación exploratoria y presenta a tierra base teórica del enfoque sistémico a los artículos publicados en la bibliografía en eventos científicos, publicaciones periódicas, disertaciones y tesis en varias áreas, pero en su mayoría relacionados con la geografía. Los resultados nos permiten afirmar el uso de diferentes enfoques y por tanto diferentes resultados obtenidos en la investigación relacionada con la desertificación. Sin embargo, es evidente que los aspectos de las características físicas y ambientales y socio-económico de las Áreas Susceptibles a la desertificación (ASD) de cada uno de los nueve estados del Noreste de Brasil (NEB) son el resultado de estos factores y el punto objetivo y limitaciones potenciales, con el fin de orientar las acciones del gobierno para crear políticas públicas y estrategias para mitigar los impactos y / o convivencia del medio ambiente con ese procesoPalabras clave: La Degradación Del Medio Ambiente; Índices; Región Semiárida.

Abstract This work presents hydric conflicts in Brazil, its causes and effects and the case of conflicts related to the supply and demand of groundwater in the municipality of Araraquara, Brazil. In this municipality, the situation is classified as critical by the Tietê-Jacaré Basin Committee, to which it belongs. The main factors that cause conflicts in Araraquara and the key actors involved were identified. The demands of groundwater users were determined and the users responsible for most of the total demand were identified by the ABC Method. These users, even in small number, are the main potential causers for the conflicts, involving public and private water supply. Public policies related to water resources and conflicts management are also discussed and measures for conflict attenuation are proposed. Such measures should be implemented by key actors and the main groundwater users involved.

AbstractDecisions on land-use sustainability are particularly critical in fragile semi-arid regions of the world, especially those involving the social factor: people and communities. Typical of such an area is the Middle East region, especially Jordan which is beset by climatic constraints. New land-use alternatives were introduced by the Jordan Arid Zone Productivity Project (JAZPP) to improve land productivity in the arid to semi-arid (transitional Badia) land in Jordan. These alternatives were verified within experimental stations under controlled conditions. Dissemination of these findings would be successful if they suit the needs and resources of farmers. Therefore, verification of the success of these techniques under a wide range of biophysical and socio-economic conditions was necessary to judge their suitability to the target area. Various interventions were implemented on 14 sites that represent different biophysical and socio-economic conditions over the study area. With close monitoring and follow-up, successful and encouraging results were reported during the first season, even with lower rainfall than average, suggesting that these techniques were biophysically suitable for the target area. During the second season, maintenance and guarding were assigned to the farmers. Seven out of the 14 sites failed for various reasons: multiownership regime, reluctance of farmers to adopt new land use and insufficient protection and/or guarding measures. The study highlighted the importance of the farmers' comments and discussion of their specific problems and needs. This helped to improve these interventions to suit the farmers' requirements and may be important in facilitating widespread adoption and sustainability of these new land-use alternatives in the Jordanian Badia as well as in other areas of similar environment.

A mundialização do capital é um grande propulsor de divisão do trabalho. Ao potencializar as condições gerais de produção nas diversas escalas, agrega inúmeros novos espaços para a circulação e produção de bens. Isso repercute territorialmente numa desconcentração da produção, reafirmando cada vez mais a necessidade da divisão técnica e territorial do trabalho, bem como de uma nova maneira de organizá-lo, tendo em vista o fomento da produtividade. A reestruturação dos processos produtivos desencadeia mudanças diversas tanto na reprodução social como na organização do espaço geográfico. No Brasil, especialmente desde a década de 1980, muitos lugares tornam-se atrativos à produção moderna e são incorporados aos circuitos produtivos globalizados de empresas nacionais e multinacionais de diferentes ramos da economia. Entre os resultados, teríamos reestruturações econômicas e territoriais de várias naturezas e magnitudes, imprimindo novas características à rede urbana. No presente artigo temos como objetivo apresentar, a luz da conjuntura atual, alguns dos rebatimentos de tais processos materializados numa cidade de porte médio e respectiva região localizada no semiárido brasileiro. O destaque será dado à conformação da divisão técnica e territorial do trabalho, a partir de dados do mercado de trabalho formal. Abstract RUPTURES AT THE URBAN NETWORK AND FACES OF THE LABOR MARKET The Globalization of the capital is one of the greatest agents propelling the work division. By augmenting the general conditions of production in the diverse scales, it aggregates several new spaces to the circulation and production of goods. This reverberates territorially in the de-concentration of production, reaffirming more and more the need of a technical and territorial of work, as well as a new way of work organization, having in mind the encouragement of productivity. The restructuring of the productive processes provokes many changes at the social reproduction and the organization of the geographic space. In Brazil, specially since the 1980s many places become attractive for the modern production and have been incorporated to the globalized productive circuits of national and multi-national firms of different branches of economics. Among the results, it could be mentioned the economic and territorial restructuring of various natures and magnitudes, bringing about new characteristics to he urban network. At this article, we aim to present, considering the current situation, some of the effects of these processes, materialized in a medium size city and its respective region places at the Brazilian semi-arid zone. We highlight the conformation of the technical and territorial work division by working on the data of formal work.

O artigo destaca que os percursos migratórios são hoje mais complexos, feminizados, qualificados, internacionalizados e individualizados, atingindo todos os continentes, países, géneros, classes sociais e gerações. Considera que eles estão na origem de transformações identitárias, familiares, sociais, laborais, culturais e políticas, implicando os vários domínios da esfera pública e privada. Evidencia que, nas últimas décadas, assistimos não só ao crescimento e diversificação das migrações internacionais, principalmente femininas, como também à generalização e globalização do trabalho feminino migrante, com muitas mulheresmigrantes a encontrar trabalho no serviço doméstico. Acrescenta que as migrações, particularmente femininas, o tráfico humano, bem como as desigualdades sociais, laborais e de género, constituem objeto de pesquisa e de preocupação dos Estados, de organismos nacionais e internacionais e das políticas públicas nos diferentes setores. Aponta que  importa desenvolver uma abordagem integrada e multi/interdisciplinar das migrações, baseada nos direitos humanos fundamentais e em políticas públicas adequadas, reconhecendo a migração, nomeadamente feminina, como um fator essencial de desenvolvimento, mas também as vulnerabilidades, discriminações e exploração associadas.Palavras-chave: Migrações no feminino, trabalho doméstico, género, identidades, tráfico humano, políticas públicas.MIGRATION, HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND DOMESTIC WORKAbstract: The human migrations become nowadays more complex, feminized, qualified, internationalized and individualized. The human migration process has been reaching all continents, countries, genders, social classes and generations. They are rooted in the origin of the identity, family, social, industrial, cultural and political changes, involving various fields of public and private spheres. It is possible to witness in recent decades, not only to the growth and diversification of international migration, mostly female, but also, the generalization and globalization of migrant female labor, many women migrants finding work in domesticservice. The human migrations, especially the female migration, human trafficking, as well as, the social, labor and gender inequalities are the object of research and concern of the states, national and international organizations and public policies in different sectors. In this context, it isimportant to develop an integrated and multi/interdisciplinary approach for migration, based mainly, on human rights and appropriate public policies, recognizing migration, especially, the women migration, not only as an essential factor of development, but also, a factor of the vulnerability, discrimination and associated exploration.Key words: Female migrations, domestic work, gender, identity, human trafficking, public policies.

The Melamchi Water Supply Project (MWSP) is considered to have been the most viable long-term alternative to ease the chronic water shortage situation within the Kathmandu Valley. The project has launched the separate project 'Social Upliftment Project' to improve the quality of life of community people. Besides that the project has divided its support field as buffer zone, health, education, income generation and rural electrification etc. to make the program more effective. So, the study aim is to explore the impact of Melamchi Water Supply Project in socio-economic status of local people of study areas. The study was conducted among the 8 VDCs of Sindhupalchowak district. Total, 404 respondents were selected randomly. The study found that MWSP had contributed in the field of agriculture, improving economic status of community people, education, infrastructure development and off-seasonal vegetable farming for income generating activities. There was a significant difference between the respondents of different VDCs regarding the contribution of MWSP. The Social Upliftment Program of MWSP should be continued and needed to extend in other hard-to-reach areas of district.
