(IBGE, 2008). The city is also inside Cod?-MA micro-region. The city is located in one of the lacking area in Brazil, where the Human Development Index (IDH) is approximately 0,558. It does not present an adequate model of management when talking about solid residue collecting. All of the solid residue produced and collected in the city is stored in an open area that they call lix?o , which is located in a residence area in the suburbs. Because of that, a problem that involves public health and environmental areas, we understand it is necessary to investigate the way the local government treats and manages the solid residue collecting, as well as, the social, economical and productive reality of those who are directly involved in the collecting itself, its productive chain of the material, including the handling, transportation and its final destiny. It means a social, productive, economical diagnosis, that in a such way,the local society and the organs of inspection can act in a better way to control the problems that include solid urban residue and come from a bad administration. That way, this work proposes to carry out a study that has as result a diagnosis with feasible alternatives on management, taking as basis, social and economical aspects that compound this productive chain. This work can bring great contributions to a better local reality through the introduction of an integrated and supported system of management of solid residue that includes a selective collecting and the creation of a sanitary area. Taking that into consideration, we can contribute to minimize the environmental impacts in Cod? Novo, caused by the garbage / A pesquisa foi realizada na ?rea urbana do munic?pio de Cod? MA, o qual disp?e de uma ?rea de 4.228,00Km2 (IBGE 2000) e uma popula??o de 113.768 habitantes (IBGE, 2008), pertence ? regi?o Leste do Estado do Maranh?o e est? inserida na Microrregi?o de Cod?. O munic?pio se encontra numa das regi?es mais carentes do Brasil, com ?ndice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) na ordem de 0,558. O munic?pio n?o disp?e de um modelo adequado de gerenciamento dos res?duos s?lidos. Todos os res?duos s?lidos, produzidos no munic?pio, s?o despejados em um lix?o a c?u aberto, situado em bairro residencial da periferia da cidade. Por se tratar de um problema de grande amplitude, que envolve a sa?de p?blica e o meio ambiente, entende-se que ? necess?rio investigar o modo de gerenciamento dos Res?duos S?lidos do munic?pio, bem como a realidade s?cio-econ?mica e produtiva da popula??o de catadores, mas tamb?m a cadeia produtiva deste material, incluindo seu manejo, transporte e sua destina??o final, ou seja, um diagn?stico s?cio-produtivo-econ?mico, Esse diagn?stico pode Contribuir para que a sociedade local e os ?rg?os de fiscaliza??o realizem a??es de controle dos problemas gerados pela m? gest?o dos res?duos s?lidos urbanos. Desta forma, esse trabalho prop?s realizar um estudo que resultou num diagnostico, o qual tamb?m prop?e alternativas vi?veis de gerenciamento, tomando, como base, os aspectos econ?micos e sociais, que comp?em essa cadeia produtiva. O que visa contribuir para a melhoria da realidade local, atrav?s da implanta??o de um sistema de gest?o integrado e sustent?vel dos res?duos s?lidos, contendo coleta seletiva e implanta??o de um aterro sanit?rio. Para, desta forma, ajudar na minimiza??o dos impactos ambientais causados pelo Lix?o de Cod? Novo no munic?pio de Cod?-MA

The diploma thesis compares economical effectiveness of selected crop cultivation (namely winter wheat and oats) in conventional and ecological economic systems during the years 2007 - 2014. Assessment of the economical balance was done through detected data about yield and redemption price. In addition to that, costs of both area and production unit within both mentioned types of farming were determined according to standard technological approaches. The study further deals with crop yields differences analysis within individual farming systems, the costs structure and price differentiations between ecological and conventional production. It also covers the question of the amount of subsidies and its influence on the final crop profitability.

There were chosen some locations for this particular paper: Borkovice, Bušanovice and Čejkovice. There was made an analysis of the common facilities, analysis of some selected socio-economical factors and its overall evaluation.

A presente tese trata da inserção da economia do Rio Grande do Sul no atual paradigma tecnoeconômico, sob uma perspectiva neoschumpeteriana/evolucionária. A hipótese assumida é que diante de um esforço tecnológico limitado na criação de vantagens competitiva dinâmicas no Brasil, com políticas de C,T&I pouco articuladas, emerge a maior necessidade de esforços estaduais no que tange a capacitação tecnológica das empresas do RS, mas que, no entanto, a indústria do Estado não tem apresentado esforços inovativos suficientes para compensar esse fraco dinamismo nacional, além de uma incipiente política estadual de inovação. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa assume, como de suma relevância, uma visão amparada nos sistemas de inovação e uma política estadual de C,T&I ativa, fortalecendo o processo inovativo. Usando como pano de fundo a economia brasileira e seu desempenho recente diante do paradigma das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) - com a maior importância dos processos de aprendizado, de produção de conhecimento, cooperação e de inovação -, o Rio Grande do Sul, por sua vez, apesar de ser um Estado que se destaca no cenário nacional, não vem logrando um desempenho satisfatório na produção de produtos de alta tecnologia, ligados ao atual paradigma tecnoeconômico. Os dados da PINTEC para o Rio Grande do Sul demonstram os insuficientes esforços inovativos, com pouca importância e reduzidos dispêndios em atividades internas de P&D, utilizando-se de poucos mecanismos de aprendizado e com insuficientes relações de cooperação. Além disso, corrobora substancialmente com a tese, os reduzidos gastos do governo estadual em C&T, pois enquanto outros Estados da Região Sul tem apresentado um aumento nos gastos em C&T, ao longo dos anos 2000, o RS está indo na direção contrária, abdicando de esforços que poderiam contribuir significativamente para o aumento da participação da indústria gaúcha em setores de alta tecnologia, denotando uma inserção deficiente no atual paradigma tecnoeconômico das TICs. Conclui-se que esse conjunto de fatores indica a manutenção de uma estrutura de produção vigente, não amparada numa visão sistêmica do processo inovativo e na construção de um sistema estadual de inovação, com uma política de C,T&I insuficiente no RS, diante dos requisitos impostos pelo atual paradigma das TICs. / This thesis aims to situate the economy of Rio Grande do Sul state in the current techno-economical paradigm, a neo-Schumpeterian/evolutionary approach. The assumption made is in front of limited technological efforts in the creation of dynamics competitive advantages in Brazil, with C, I & T policies not articulated, the states must have greater efforts regarding the technological abilities of their companies, but the companies of Rio Grande do Sul have not given sufficient innovative efforts to compensate this weak national dynamics as well as its incipient state innovation policy. In this sense, this research assumes great relevance in a vision anchored in an innovation system and T&I state policies active, able to strengthen the innovative process. Using the Brazilian economy and its recent performance on the paradigm of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as a backdrop – with greater importance to the learning process of knowledge production, cooperation and innovation – the Rio Grande do Sul state, despite of being a state that standouts on the national scene, is not achieving a satisfactory performance in the production of high technology products linked to the current techno-economical paradigm. The PINTEC data for Rio Grande do Sul demonstrate inadequate innovative efforts, with little importance and reduced spending on internal R & D, using a few learning mechanisms and insufficient cooperation relations. Moreover, these data corroborates substantially with the thesis, the reduced spending of state government in S & T, because while other states in the Southern Region has shown an increase in spending on S & T over the year 2000, the RS is going in the opposite direction, abdicating efforts that could contribute significantly to the increased participation of industry of the state in high-tech sectors, indicating a poor inclusion in the current economical paradigm of ICT. It concludes that this combination of factors indicates the maintenance of a structure of current production, not supported in a systemic view of the innovative process and in building a statewide system of innovation with a policy, I & T Insufficient RS, before the requirements imposed by the current paradigm of ICT.

O cultivo da banana configura-se como uma das produções de maior expressão comercial da Microrregião do Litoral Norte do Rio Grande do Sul, garantindo quase toda a produção do estado. Tal produção apresenta dois grupos de sistemas de cultivo diferenciados, baseados em perspectivas agrícolas distintas, um utilizando preceitos convencionais e outro de cunho ecológico. Observa-se que o convencional é fundamentado em pressupostos altamente impactantes ao ambiente e à sociedade – o que muitos autores denominam de crise do modelo convencional – originando formas alternativas de produção de alimentos, dentre as quais se destaca a agricultura de base ecológica. Neste trabalho, busca-se entender a economicidade e o funcionamento deste sistema de produção e cultivo. Para tanto, apresenta-se uma análisediagnóstico comparativa dos principais sistemas de produção e cultivo da banana. Tal análise foi feita com base na abordagem dos sistemas agrários de Mazoyer e Roudart. Como resultado, seis sistemas de produção foram encontrados, os quais praticam quatro sistemas de cultivo distintos. Os indicadores técnicos demonstram que o cultivo ecológico obtém uma eficiência relativamente maior do que os sistemas convencionais dois e três. Os indicadores econômicos demonstram que ele atinge uma eficiência econômica semelhante a do sistema convencional e levantam indícios de que sua viabilidade está atrelada intimamente à venda de produtos em mercados diferenciados, e devido ao consumo intermediário. Finalmente, percebe-se que algumas características-chaves da agricultura de base ecológica concentram-se na produção de um alimento diferenciado, na tradição e na capacidade de re-socializar ou relocalizar o alimento e dar um novo sentido ao lugar. Estes são argumentos importantes para que se entenda a relação destes agricultores com a localidade. / The banana cultivation is configured as the most expressive commercial production of the Northern Coast Micro-region of Rio Grande do Sul, assuring almost all the state production. Such cultivation presents two different systems groups, based on distinct agricultural perspectives: conventional and ecological. It can be observed that the conventional system is based on premises that are highly impacting to the environment and to the society – which many authors call as the crisis of the conventional model – originating alternative agro-food networks, in which we can highlight the agro-ecologic based agriculture. Thus, this work tries to perform an analysis of the agro-ecologic based system economical performance and technical operation. Such analysis was performed taking in account the Mazoyer and Roudard approach. As a result, six production systems were found. These systems practice four distinct cultivation systems. In general, the technical indexes show that the ecological cultivation achieves a relatively higher efficiency than the conventional system (SP2, SP3), and the economical indexes show that it achieves an economical efficiency that is similar to the conventional system. They also raise evidences that its viability is strongly related to the commercialization of products in differentiated markets (face-to-face), with less intermediary consumption. Finally, it is possible to perceive that some key-characteristics of the ecological based agriculture concentrate on the production of differentiated food, tradition and on the capacity of re-socialize or re-localize the food, and give a new meaning to the place. These are important arguments to the understanding the relationship of these farmers with the locality.

Atualmente o Brasil conta com um volume imenso de dados sobre o território nacional. Entretanto, grande parte dos dados existentes encontra-se dispersa, fragmentada, sem compatibilização cartográfica e, em alguns casos, duplicada em vários locais. O grande desafio é compartilhar dados geograficamente dispersos e comunicar conceitos importantes entre departamentos dentro da organização ou entre organizações diferentes usando, para isso, tecnologias de informação. Assim, esse trabalho tem como objetivo geral contribuir para o desenvolvimento de uma infra-estrutura para informação geográfica, que possa ser amplamente disseminada via Internet através de Web Services e que atenda os requisitos de interoperabilidade, de modo que diversos usuários possam usufruir dos dados disponíveis, integrando-os quando necessários. Este trabalho incidirá inicialmente nas necessidades de informação geográfica para o Zoneamento Ecológico e Econômico do Brasil. Entretanto, como se trata de um sistema de infra-estrutura de dados espaciais poderá, então, agregar dados para qualquer trabalho que envolva a informação espacial. / Currently Brazil has available an immense volume of data on its domestic territory. However, great part of the existing data is dispersed, fragmented, without cartographic compatibility, and, in some cases, duplicated in several places. The great challenge is to share these geographically dispersed data and to provide communication of important concepts between departments of the same organization or even between different organizations. For reaching this, the use of information technologies becomes necessary. The present work has for objective to contribute to develop a infrastructure for geographic information, that can be widely disseminated by the Internet through Web Services and that meets the requirements for interoperability so that several users may have the data available, integrating them when necessary. This work will focus initially on the need for geographic information to the Ecological and Economical Zoning of Brazil. However, as it is a system of infrastructure for spatial data can then add data to any work involving the spatial information.
