The implementation of conservation units is an important strategy to conserve biodiversity, however, their consolidation as an effective mechanism for protecting natural resources faces several challenges. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness and management of nine conservation units in the west and northwest regions of the state of Paraná, Brazil, by application of questionnaires, and interviews with managers in these areas. All evaluated conservation units had insufficient number of employees to meet their demand, and the management plan of 56% of the 89% units that had a management plan were outdated. According to the adopted criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of these conservation units, 67% of them presented satisfactory implementation effectiveness, and management conditions, because they have minimally fulfilled their objectives, despite the several economic, political and social barriers.

O consumo dos recursos naturais trouxe à tona questionamentos sobre o que pode ser feito para evitar prejuízos cada vez maiores à natureza. Sendo assim, as Unidades de Conservação (UCs) passam a exercer papel primordial no processo de proteção ambiental. Soma-se a isso o plano de manejo, instrumento que estabelece o zoneamento da UC e as normas que devem presidir o uso da área. Nesse contexto, este trabalho objetivou propor o zoneamento ambiental da REBIO das Araucárias a partir do processamento de atributos topográficos e das suas correlações com o uso do solo. Para tanto, foram gerados diversos atributos topográficos derivados do Modelo Digital do Terreno (MDT). Como resultados, verificou-se que a utilização dos atributos topográficos possibilitou o entendimento das informações pedológicas e de limitação de uso (susceptibilidade ambiental). Logo, para o zoneamento, realizou-se tabulação cruzada entre a Limitação de Uso e o Uso do Solo, sendo delineadas as Zonas de Manejo da unidade. Environmental zoning proposal for the Araucária Biological Reserve based on topographic attributes A B S T R A C TThe consumption of natural resources has raised questions about what can be done to avoid increasing damage to nature. Thus, Conservation Units (PAs) play a major role in the process of environmental protection. Add to this the management plan, an instrument that establishes the zoning of the CU and the norms that should govern the use of the area. In this context, this work aimed to propose the environmental zoning of REBIO das Araucárias from the processing of topographic attributes and their correlations with land use. For this, several topographic attributes derived from the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) were generated. As results, it was verified that the use of the topographic attributes made possible the understanding of the pedological information and of limitation of use (environmental susceptibility). Therefore, for the zoning, a cross-tabulation was performed between the Use Limitation and the Land Use, and the Management Areas of the unit were delineated.Keywords: Geotechnology; Topographic Attributes; Protected Áreas.

Indigenous peoples have distinguished cultural traditions and linguistic identity. Across the world, Indigenous peoples have always asked the State to recognise their social structure and opportunities to preserve their traditional lifestyles. The issues at stake are their rights over habitat and natural resources and the need to curtail private and public sector exploitation through alien hands. Due to the need to survive, helplessness and systematically forced assimilation, the traditional fabric of their culture are being distorted and defaced. This study deals with the concerns and issues relating to the protection of identity, tradition and customs of Ho tribe that inhabits the West Singhbhum in the State of Jharkhand in India.

As áreas protegidas, no Brasil denominadas de “Unidades de Conservação”, além da sua função precípua de proteger a preservar amostras representativas dos ecossistemas e paisagens naturais, incluindo os recursos culturais nelas presentes, também se prestam a outras finalidades de alcance econômico e social. No caso da categoria “Parque” o desenvolvimento de atividades de educação e interpretação ambiental, de recreação em contato com a natureza e do turismo, através da visitação, se constitui em um dos objetivos primários. Ao mesmo tempo, a demanda social por visitação junto a estas áreas naturais vem aumentando, juntamente com a expectativa dos visitantes pela qualidade do atendimento e satisfação de sua experiência. Para tanto, devem estar abertas a visitação e adequadamente estruturadas. Diante deste contexto, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo reconhecer o uso público nos parques estaduais no Brasil, com ênfase na visitação turística. A pesquisa teve um caráter qualitativo e exploratório. O seu universo foi constituído por todas as unidades de conservação da categoria “Parque” que tenham sido criadas nos 26 Estados brasileiros. As análises foram orientadas pelo marco técnico e metodológico existente na área, como as diretrizes oficiais e os documentos de referência para o planejamento e a gestão de unidades de conservação. Em síntese, os resultados da pesquisa identificaram que o atendimento ao visitante ainda é incipiente, pois vários parques estaduais atuam sem as mínimas condições básicas para o uso público, e até mesmo sem a implantação de um plano de manejo ou ferramenta gestora equivalente, além de muitos não contarem com recursos humanos voltados para o atendimento deste público. Vários parques estão fechados à visitação e a maioria não possui relação com o trade turístico, reduzindo a sua divulgação. O conhecimento gerado nesta pesquisa constitui-se em uma etapa inicial para investigações subsequentes e mais aprofundadas sobre o tema, mas desde já fornece informações úteis para a academia, os gestores dos sistemas estaduais de unidades de conservação e o trade (eco) turístico. Recognition of Public Use in the State Parks in Brazil with emphasis on tourism visit ABSTRACT The Conservation Units of the "Park" category, besides preserving representative samples of ecosystems and natural landscapes, aim to develop activities of education and environmental interpretation, recreation in contact with nature and tourism, through the visitation and, must be open and adequately structured. In this context, the present research had as general objective to recognize the public use in the state parks in Brazil, with emphasis on the tourist visitation. The research had an exploratory character and its universe were all conservation units of the category "Park" existing in the 26 Brazilian states. The analyzes based on data obtained from secondary sources were guided by the technical and methodological framework of the official guidelines and the reference documents for the planning and management of state conservation units. In summary, the results of the survey identified that visitor attendance at state parks is still incipient, since in general, they do not have a basic structure for public use, they do not have enough human resources to attend this public and so little management plan in force or equivalent management tool, most are not related to the tourist trade and several parks are closed to visitation, reducing its disclosure. The knowledge generated in this research constitutes an initial stage for subsequent and more in depth investigations on the subject, but already provides useful information for the academy, the managers of the state systems of protected areas and the tourism (eco). KEYWORDS: Tourism; Visitation; State Park.

Recently past its centenary, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils (1906–7), by Selma Lagerlöf, has remained an international children's classic, famous for its charm and magical elements. This article returns to read the book in its original contexts, and sets out to demonstrate that it was also published as a work of instruction, a work of geography, calculated to build character and nation. Arguing that it represents the vested interests of the state school system, and the national ideology of modern Sweden, the article analyses Nils's journey as the production of a Swedish ‘space’. With a focus on representations of power and nationhood in the text, it points to the way Lagerlöf takes stock of the nation's natural resources, characterises its inhabitants, draws upon legends and history, and ultimately constructs a ‘folkhem’, where social classes, ethnic groups and linguistic differences are all made to contribute to a sense of Swedish belonging and destiny.

What is an underground? Is it possible to embed this particular way of life into any definition? After all, even underground did not have the need to define itself at the beginning. The presented text represents a brief reflection of the development of underground in Czechoslovakia; attention is paid to the impulses from the West, which had a significant influence on the underground. The text focuses on the key events that influenced the underground. For example, the “Hairies (Vlasatci)” Action, which took place in 1966, and the State Security activity in Rudolfov in 1974. The event in Rudolfov was an imaginary landmark and led to the writing of a manifesto that came into history as the “Report on the Third Czech Musical Revival.”

The paper deals with the organization and decisions of the conference of the Minister-Presidents of German lands in Munich on June 6-7, 1947, which became the one and only meeting of the heads of the state governments of the western and eastern occupation zones before the division of Germany. The conference was the first experience of national positioning of the regional elite and clearly demonstrated that by the middle of 1947, not only between the allies, but also among German politicians, the incompatibility of perspectives of further constitutional development was existent and all the basic conditions for the division of Germany became ripe. Munich was the last significant demonstration of this disunity and the moment of the final turn towards the three-zone orientation of the West German elite.

The silvicultural principles of a forest management plan for Canton Neuchâtel reveals itself as steeped in a systemic approach that allows us to consider the forest as a truly living system. In this context, it seems judicious to the author to conceive of the body forest personnel as a group of responsible people who share certain common ethics and who, in their work, promote the emergence of collective services recognised as beneficial to the state and which would be supported by public funding for the good of the entire community.
