This same context can be perceived in Maranhão. The state has diverse vegetation composed of the Amazon Forest, savanna, mata dos cocais (coconut wooded region), swamps and the second largest coast in the country with immense marine biodiversity. However, the state of Maranhão has the municipalities with the lowest Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI). In this context, the dissertation directs the perspective to Sustainable Design seeking to understand which Project strategies can stimulate the valorization of local resources and the form in which such strategies can be understood and applied to lead product development, services and sustainable communication in a Maranhense context. The hypothesis of this research is that Design possesses tools and the capacity to stimulate and increase local activities, and from this point, improve people’s quality of life. The research was carried out in three stages: Theoretical Foundation composed of bibliographical and documental research; Intensive Direct Observation which combined simple and contextual observation with structured and semistructured interviews; and finally, Qualitative Analysis of data obtained in these stages using the babaçu coconut productive chain in the Itapecuru Mirim micro-region in Maranhão as demarcation. As a result of this study, relations were establishe between Design management levels, the main obstacles in the babaçu cocnut productive chain and sustainable design strategies that favor the valorization and promotion of local resources in Maranhão. / O Brasil apresenta grandes riquezas em recursos naturais, no entanto, uma parte da população, mesmo residindo próximo a esses recursos, vive com uma baixa qualidade de vida. Esse mesmo contexto pode ser percebido no Maranhão. O estado apresenta uma vegetação diversificada, composta de floresta Amazônica, cerrado, mata de cocais, mangues e o segundo maior litoral do país com a imensa biodiversidade marinha. Porém, o estado do Maranhão tem os municípios com os mais baixos Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal do Brasil (IDMH). Nesse contexto, esta dissertação direciona o olhar para o Design Sustentável buscando compreender quais as estratégias de projeto podem estimular a valorização dos recursos locais e a forma como tais estratégias podem ser entendidas e aplicadas para orientar o desenvolvimento de produtos, serviços e comunicação sustentáveis no contexto maranhense. A hipótese deste trabalho é que o Design possui ferramentas e a capacidade para estimular e incrementar as atividades produtivas locais para, a partir disso, proporcionar um aumento na qualidade de vida das pessoas. A pesquisa foi executada em três etapas: a Fundamentação Teórica, composta por uma pesquisa bibliográfica e uma pesquisa documental; a Observação Direta Intensiva, que combinou uma observação simples com uma observação contextual e entrevistas de tipo estruturada e semiestruturada; e, por fim, a Análise Qualitativa dos dados obtidos nessas etapas, tendo como delimitação de pesquisa a cadeia produtiva do babaçu presente no município de Itapecuru Mirim no Maranhão. Como resultado desse estudo foram estabelecidas relações entre os problemas identificados e os níveis da gestão do design envolvidos, os principais entraves da cadeia produtiva do babaçu e as estratégias de design sustentável que favorecem a valorização e a promoção dos recursos locais no Maranhão.

This activity is already established and ingrained in the cities of Caruaru, Santa Cruz do Capibaribe and Toritama. This research aims to review developments and to characterize the production of the garment industry in the county of Riacho das Almas - which is slightly less than 20 km from the city of Caruaru, one of the three major cities of the Garments 'Pole' of the Agreste of Pernambuco, and 162 km from Recife, capital of the state - by examining the consequences of growth and development of this activity, especially in the rural area. Within the perspective of this research is a survey and analysis of the installation of these companies in the Rural Zone, and the consequent transfer of the labor force for rural local garment industry, without the necessary qualifications or expertise, in addition to examining the high rate of informal enterprises and hiding their employees. Another aspect of this research is to identify measures and projects which the government is taking to support the growth and structure of this branch of activity, including providing environmental preservation, since many of these companies are based in the rural municipality. / O crescimento relevante no número de cadastramento de empresas de indústria de confecções e atividades afins junto à Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado de Pernambuco no município de Riacho das Almas, mostra a participação relevante do município no APL de confecções do Agreste de Pernambuco. Na região, a atividade já está estabelecida e sedimentada nos municípios de Caruaru, Santa Cruz do Capibaribe e Toritama. Este trabalho se propõe a caracterizar e analisar a evolução da produção da indústria de confecções no município de Riacho das Almas - que fica a pouco menos de 20 km do município de Caruaru, uma das três cidades mais importantes do ‗Pólo‘ de Confecções do Agreste pernambucano, e a 162 km de Recife, capital do Estado - caracterizando as conseqüências do crescimento e desenvolvimento desta atividade, principalmente na zona rural do município. Dentro das perspectivas deste trabalho está o levantamento e análise da instalação destas empresas na Zona Rural. A pesquisa identifica que projetos o poder público vem tomando para dar suporte ao crescimento deste ramo de atividade, inclusive prevendo as questões relativas à preservação ambiental, uma vez que grande parte destas empresas estão instaladas na zona rural do município, bem como identificar a consequente transferência da mão de obra rural local para a indústria de confecções, sem a necessária qualificação ou especialização e o alto índice de informalidade das empresas e clandestinidade de seus empregados.

Εξετάζεται η ζήτηση για αγροτικό τουρισμό με τη χρήση ενός οικονομικού-οικονομετρικού μοντέλου. Αναγνωρίζεται η ιδιαίτερη φύση του αγροτικού τουρισμού σαν ένα ετερογενές προϊόν-υπηρεσία, ενώ παράλληλα δίνεται έμφαση στο ρόλο της πληροφόρησης των καταναλωτών και στην πόιότητα της ταξιδιωτικής εμπειρίας. Επίσης, αναλύεται η σημασία των τοπικών προϊόντων διατροφής, ως μέρος της ταξιδιωτικής εμπειρίας σε μια περιοχή. Με βάση τα αποτελέσματα προτείνονται βασικοί άξονες για την ανάπτυξη του αγροτικού τουρισμού, ως βασικού μοχλού για την τοπική και περιφερειακή ανάπτυξη σε μειονεκτικές περιοχές. / The demand for rural tourism is analysed using a proper economic and econometric model. Rural tourism is conceptualised as a heterogeneous product-service, while at the same time analysis focus on the role of consumers.

The diploma dissertation deals with farm box home delivery which is world widespread form of an alternative food system. The main aim of this dissertation was to identify the subjects involved in farm box distribution and make a survey on experiences with this form of business - afterwards to define the consumers´ attitude to this way of distribution.

The number of public markets in the United States increased from more than 300 in the 1970s to more than 8,600 by 2016. This increase in markets is related to changes in food production, localism and the local food systems movement, socioeconomic changes, cultural changes, and perceptions of embeddedness. Research on the underlying conditions for the success of public markets is scant in the United States, and especially in the USDA Southwest Region. This study provides analysis of public market locations as compared with non-market locations by drive-time trade areas during a 20-year period, 1996 and 2016, to gain further insights into factors leading to their success. The results from logit regression analyses and simulations of socioeconomic, college-town status, and climate-grid classifications find an increased likelihood of public markets with population, education, college town status, and some climate-grid locations. Median income, surprisingly, has an inverse relationship with public market success. Qualitative data and a literature review point to three types of embeddedness that motivate customers to attend public markets. This study concludes that "local nontradable consumer goods" tied to place are offered at these "nontradable consumption amenities." These amenities are "third places" that promote social interaction and become important places of community, farmer support, and commerce across the Southwest Region.
