RESUMO Este trabalho propõe-se a apresentar o microcrédito como instrumento de desenvolvimento econômico e social na perspectiva de economia solidária. O Banco Palmas é um exemplo de um sistema financeiro solidário criado, em 1988, pela Associação dos Moradores do Conjunto Palmeira. O objetivo do banco é proporcionar o desenvolvimento local e solidário do Conjunto Palmeira, através do microcrédito e programas complementares como a escola de capacitação, incubadora para mulheres em situação de risco, laboratório de agricultura urbana, moeda própria que circula nos comércios do bairro, sistemas de feiras com os produtores locais e uma loja solidária. A metodologia adotada foi um estudo de caso do Banco Palmas através de uma pesquisa documental e pesquisa bibliográfica. Dessa forma, o Banco Palmas mostra que é possível a realização de projetos de desenvolvimento popular e solidário auto-sustentáveis, por meio do microcrédito, que estimula o consumo e a produção dentro do próprio bairro, em uma perspectiva de desenvolvimento local.   ABSTRACT This paper proposes to present microcredit as an instrument of economic and social development from the perspective of solidarity economy. Banco Palmas is an example of a financial solidarity system created in 1988 by the Residents Association of Conjunto Palmeira. The objective of the bank is to provide local development and solidarity in Conjunto Palmeira through micro-credit and complementary programs such as a training school, an incubator for women at risk, an urban agriculture laboratory, its own currency that circulates in the neighborhood stores, fair systems with local producers and a solidarity store. The methodology adopted was a case study of Banco Palmas through a documentary and bibliographical research. In this way, Banco Palmas shows that it is possible to carry out self-sustainable popular and solidary development projects, through microcredit, which stimulates consumption and production within the neighborhood itself, in a perspective of local development.

This article analyzes the potential of the social and solidarity economy (SSE) to foster the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Local public policies play an important role in supporting both the SSE and SDGs. We select a case study of four SSE projects of a local development agency in the Basque Country, where the SSE has a considerable presence through diverse forms and experiences. We address how these projects, which are implemented in a coordinated and transversal manner, contribute to many specific targets within SDG goals number 8 (growth and decent work), 12 (sustainable consumption and production patterns), and 5 (gender equity). However, some limitations have also been identified: (i) trade-offs, in both SSE and SDGs, between economic growth and other aims centered on environmental sustainability; and (ii) avoidance of handling issues, which limits a systemic transformation.

The present research analyses the theoretical and practical aspects of interaction between social entrepreneurship and socio-economic processes, thereby building up scientific experience in analyses of social entrepreneurship processes. The authors, based on a theoretical literature review and an examination of social entrepreneurship in Latvia, analysed the elements of the social entrepreneurship ecosystem, the impacts of social entrepreneurship and statistical data on social inequality in Latvia. The research concluded that social development in Latvia was at the initial stage, yet it provided support to people at risk of social exclusion and poverty. The development of social entrepreneurship in the regions of Latvia was uneven.

The Amazon Informatics Law derives from a National Law, but is specific to the northern region, except for Tocantis and Pará states and, in partnership with the Zona Franca de Desenvolvimento - ZFM (Development Free Zone) project regulated by the Superintendência da Zona Franca de Manaus - SUFRAMA (Superintendence of the Manaus Free Zone), it aims to be a public policy to promote social development. It was questioned how the process of execution of this Law works and what would be the impacts resulting from its execution. The objective of this research is to know the process of execution of Research and Development - R&D projects based on the Amazon Informatics Law. For this understanding, a descriptive and documentary research was done to understand the current situation of R&D in the Western Amazon, and through an interview and case study, it was possible to understand and delineate the process itself.

For the most part, research and policymaking on urban gardening have focused on community gardens, whether in parks, vacant lots, or other public land. This emphasis, while important for many Midwestern cities, can obscure the significance of privately owned land such as front yard and back yard and their crucial connections with gardening on public land. In this case study, we examine how policies and practices related to gardening and the management of green space in two Midwestern cities exceed narrow visions of urban agriculture. The article explores the cultivation of vacant lot gardens and private yards as two modes of property in similar Midwestern contexts and argues that the management of green space is about more than urban agriculture. Instead, we show how urban gardening occurs across public/private property distinctions and involves a broader set of actors than those typically included in sustainability policies. Gardening also provides a key set of connections through which neighbors understand and practice sustainability in Midwestern cities.
