In Montgomery, Alabama, interstate highways were designed and developed to decimate African-American social institutions and communities whose members were prominent participants in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The sequence of events contributed to the social, political, and economic marginalization of the residents of Washington Park, which includes members of Grace Missionary Baptist Church. Individual, familial, and communal progress has been hindered by the oppressive actions of power wielders, including federal, state, and local government officials. The longstanding distress has caused negative shifts to occur in the value systems of many families; and assistance from external sources has not led to widespread reductions in the community’s marginalization. The circumstances create an ideal opportunity for parents to emerge as internal facilitators in the restoration of families and other social institutions relevant to the sustainability of Washington Park. This publication is a detailed plan for the design and development of the Parenting Institute as a grassroots family strengthening organization, which will place emphasis on the enlightenment, education, and empowerment of parents as the most influential leaders of the community. Enhancements in parenting practices will assist in the strengthening of people as the most important components of social, political, and economic institutions. This will lead to a reduction in the marginalization of the target beneficiaries.

The reasons for this are high productivity and the possibility of good profits. When fishes are produced in earth ponds, the conventional way in semi-intensive system, productivity is close to half a kilogram per square meter. In cage system the productivity could rise from 200 kg per cubic meter. The highest density can cause reduced costs and increased profitability, but requires knowledge, training and dedication of the profissional. In this study the goal was to assess the sustainability of the venture, with the help of indicators of economic, environmental and social issues. We lived with relatives of the settlers by INCRA in the "Settlement Project Santa Felicidade, " in Cocalzinho de Goiás - GO, the creation of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) in cages, covering the main dimensions of sustainable development and the proven economic viability, financial enterprise. Feasibility analysis conducted has shown that the return on invested capital occurred in the medium term. Spread the viability of the enterprise and laborintensive participatory in intensive fish farming. / O volume de peixes criados em tanque-rede cresce a cada ano no Brasil e os motivos desse crescimento são alta produtividade e possibilidade de bons lucros. Quando o peixe é produzido em viveiro escavado, pela forma convencional em sistema semi-intensivo, a produtividade fica próxima de meio quilo por metro quadrado. No sistema de tanques-rede, a produtividade pode passar dos 200 kg por metro cúbico. A maior densidade pode provocar redução dos custos e aumento da rentabilidade, entretanto requer conhecimento, treinamento e dedicação. No presente trabalho, o objetivo foi analisar a sustentabilidade do empreendimento, com o auxílio de indicadores econômicos, ambientais e sociais. Foram vivenciadas, com familiares dos assentados pelo INCRA no Projeto de Assentamento Santa Felicidade , em Cocalzinho de Goiás GO, a criação de tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) em tanques-rede, contemplando as principais dimensões do desenvolvimento sustentável e comprovada a viabilidade econômico-financeira do empreendimento. As análises de viabilidade realizadas demonstraram que o retorno do capital investido ocorreu em médio prazo. Difundiu-se a viabilidade do empreendimento e da mão-de-obra participativa na criação intensiva de peixes.
