Este artículo tiene como propósito analizar las principales estrategias de gestión ambiental implementadas en el municipio de Quinchía, Risaralda, en especial en los orregimientos de Naranjal e Irra, frente al desarrollo minero extractivista en el siglo xxi. Para tal fin, en primer lugar, se realizó un estado del arte sobre el desarrollo minero extractivista en el contexto nacional, departamental y local en el siglo xxi. Seguidamente se identificaron las estrategias de gestión ambiental en el desarrollo minero, la cuales se concretaron principalmente en marcos normativos y programáticos, que en su mayoría buscan promover un desarrollo minero sostenible asociado fundamentalmente a empresas transnacionales, ocasionando conflictos socioambientales. Palabras clave: Quinchía, extractivismo, minería, gestión ambiental. Abstract: Environmental management strategies to deal with extractivist mining development in the municipality of Quinchía (Risaralda) Abstract: This article aims to analyze in the 21st century the main environmental management strategies implemented in the municipality of Quinchía (Risaralda), especially in the corregimientos of Naranjal and Irra, in front of extractive mining development. To this end, first, a state of the art on extractive mining development was carried out in the national, departmental and local context in the 21st century. Next, environmental management strategies in mining development were identified. These strategies were mainly implemented in normative and programmatic frameworks, most of which seek to promote sustainable mining development, mainly associated with transnational corporations, leading to socio-environmental conflicts. Keywords: Quinchía, extractivism, mining, environmental management.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how corporate environmental management strategies at different environmental management maturity (EMM) stages are influenced by institutional forces in the service sector organizations of a developing country. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a multiple case study approach in this study. Institutional isomorphic pressures (coercive, mimetic and normative) at different EMM stages were used as the analytical framework. Findings The study finds coercive pressures largely shape the corporate environmental management strategies at the reactive stage while mimetic pressures have the greatest influence on the internal integration stage. Combined mimetic and normative pressures influence the environmental strategies at the external integration stage. Further, it emphasizes the importance of various institutional pressures in propelling the organizations in the developing countries to benefit from higher levels of EMM. Originality/value This paper offers a new theoretical approach that highlights the importance of considering the institutional influence of the top-down process of diffusion and simultaneous counter-process of invention by which the lower level organizational actors shape and change their environmental management practices for corporate EMM.

El presente trabajo constituye una aproximación preliminar al estudio de la actividad de las corridas de ganado en el Departamento de Molinos en los Valles Calchaquíes septentrionales, Salta, Argentina. Se toma como caso el evento de la “separada” de animales, que es la culminación del gran evento de la “corrida”, el cual consta de un desarrollo secuenciado y pautado, de alcance temporal y espacial en la región. Se intenta realizar un aporte al estudio de las estrategias de manejo del ambiente en los Valles Calchaquíes salteños septentrionales, a través del caso de las corridas de ganado en Molinos. Al mismo tiempo buscamos testear la aplicabilidad y eficacia de la metodología de la etnografía visual para el estudio de las relaciones hombre – medio, y sus implicancias en la percepción, manejo y movilidad de estas comunidades en su entorno natural y social.Palabras-clave: Manejo de ganado. Relaciones hombre-medio. Etnografía visual. Andes centrales surCattle Management in Molinos: a proposal for Visual Ethnography on the transhumance of cattle in Northern Calchaquí Valleys, Salta, ArgentinaAbstractThis work is a preliminary study of the activity of cattle management in Molinos in the northern Calchaquí Valley, Salta, Argentina. We take as a case of study the event of "separada" of animals, which is the culmination of the great event of the "corrida", which consists of a sequenced development with wide temporal and spatial range in the region. Our proposal tries to make a contribution to the study of environmental management strategies in northern Salta Calchaquí Valleys, through the case of cattle management in Molinos. At the same time we seek to test the applicability of visual ethnography as a strategy to study the perceptions, management and mobility of these communities in their natural and social environment.Key words: Cattle management. Relationships between humans and their environment. Visual ethnography. South central Andes.

Water Environmental Management

The Noyyal River is a tributary of river Cauvery has been one of the most predominant and important rivers of Tamil Nadu. Unfortunately, certain stretches of river Noyyal are polluted due to effluent discharge from the industries and domestic sewage. The effective water environmental management strategies required to be implemented in this river to upgrade the water quality and to ensure sustainable development in the region. The aim of this work was to provide a basis for water environmental management in process of making important decisions. In this study WASP (Water Quality Simulation Program) is used as a model to identify the processes that underlie river water quality problems in a basin. WASP was recommended by EPA used as water quality model. Simulated values of Nitrate (NO3), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Alkalinity and pH demonstrated the accuracy of the model and despite a significant data shortage in the study area. WASP model was found to be an acceptable tool for the assessment of water quality.

Contributing to the cultural ecosystem services literature, this paper draws on the in-depth place narratives of two coastal case-study sites in Wales (UK) to explore how people experience and understand landscape change in relation to their sense of place, and what this means for their wellbeing. Our place narratives reveal that participants understand coastal/intertidal landscapes as complex socio-ecological systems filled with competing legitimate claims that are difficult to manage. Such insights suggest that a focus on diachronic integrity (Holland and O’Neill 1996) within place narratives might offer a route to more socially and culturally acceptable environmental management strategies.
