En este estudio se explica en qué medida el impacto de un ecolodge influye en el desarrollo socioeconómico de las comunidades de la Florida y Pampas cercanas al centro arqueológico de Rúpac, provincia de Huaral, en la región Lima. Estas comunidades son las que administran de manera informal y con poco apoyo de los gobiernos locales y regionales, el flujo turístico a Rúpac This study explains to what extent the impact of an ecolodge influences the socioeconomic development of the communities of Florida and Pampas near the center archaeological site of Rúpac, province of Huaral, in the Lima region. These communities are which they manage informally and with little support from local governments and regional, the tourist flow to Rúpac.

In this dissertation, we examine the socioeconomic impact of land reform schemes and discuss the policy implications of combining aspects of both state-led and market-based approaches to land reallocation through regional planning. We focus on land reform settlements in Northeast Brazil, where both approaches operated over the same time frame (1997-2002). Empirically, we identify the effects of various indicators on the socioeconomic growth of a sample of rural territories and localities, giving emphasis to the influence of the market-based Land Bill Programme (PCT) and the traditional state-led scheme (INCRA) on that growth through panel data analysis, cross-section regressions and field-based analysis. It has been concluded that: i) The scope for plan-led strategies towards sustainable development in the countryside has been given less than sufficient emphasis in the land reform literature; ii) There is not clear evidence that the market-based approach leads to higher socioeconomic growth regionally than does the state-led approach, or vice versa; iii) Although the market-based scheme contributed to improved access to title, the PCT settlements failed to impact positively settlers' welfare in the majority of sites; iv) Securing both higher access to land rights and better living conditions through land reform requires an approach that combines both state-led and market-based elements; v) Securing measurable positive impacts on the regional economy requires a land reform strategy that has a regional scope. As a policy implication, the work suggests the adoption of a plan-led land reform strategy that is coordinated at all government levels and between the public and private sectors, and one that involves establishing strategic portfolios of potentially sustainable areas, defining spending priorities for those areas along with funding possibilities through regional planning. Differently from the commonsense literature on land reform in developing countries, this work demonstrates that regional planning has an essential part to play in land reform through proposing a plan-led strategy that combines elements of both market-based and state-led approaches to the benefit of the regional economy.

Orientador: Elton Eustáquio Casagrande / Resumo: Objetivo Analisar a inserção ocupacional de egressos de cursos com perfil agroindustrial, a partir das respostas do questionário institucional, conhecido como WebSAI-e, nas regiões administrativas do Estado de São Paulo, desenvolver uma avaliação comparada dos resultados, com ênfase aos egressos e da capacidade de firmar novos empreendedores. Procedimentos de Pesquisa Essa pesquisa utiliza as abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa, de natureza aplicada, com finalidade de caráter descritivo por apresentar e analisar aspectos da instituição de ensino Centro Paula Souza, o objeto do estudo. O procedimento de coleta utilizado foi documental, a partir de relatórios obtidos pela aplicação do questionário institucional via sistema eletrônico denominado de WebSAI-e. O foco da análise qualitativa é a descrição do CPS, sua estrutura e concepção do ensino para o êxito na inserção dos egressos no mercado de trabalho. A unidade de análise quantitativa da pesquisa é a condição ocupacional do egresso, obtida através das respostas do WebSAI-e, com série histórica de 2013 a 2018. Resultados e Discussões A partir das análises desenvolvidas sob a inserção ocupacional dos egressos de cursos com perfil agroindustrial contatou-se que as atividades empreendedoras remuneradas, relacionadas aos cursos técnicos que realizaram, nos setores agricultura / pecuária, comércio, indústria e serviços é 10,63% e que as regiões administrativas oferecem oportunidades de atuação com carteira assinada e como empree...

Design This research uses the quantitative and qualitative approaches, applied in nature, with the purpose of descriptive character to present and analyze aspects of the educational institution Centro Paula Souza, the object of the study. The collection procedure used was documentary, based on reports obtained by applying the institutional questionnaire via the electronic system called WebSAI-e. The focus of the qualitative analysis is the description of CPS, its structure and conception of teaching for the successful insertion of graduates in the labor market. The unit of quantitative analysis of the survey is the occupational condition of the egress, obtained through WebSAI-e responses, with historical series from 2013 to 2018. Findings and Discussions From the analysis developed under the occupational insertion of the graduates of courses with agro-industrial profile it was found that the paid entrepreneurial activities, related to the technical courses that took, in the agriculture / livestock, commerce, industry and services sectors is 10.63% and that The administrative regions offer opportunities for acting with a formal c...

This study broadly investigates South African energy policy with specific emphasis on the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). It investigates how the procurement programme links to rights-based climate justice principles. Climate justice principles have the potential to greatly impact the socio-economic development characteristics of the renewable energy sector. These principles incorporate the notions of participation and self-representation, equality, and the anti-commodification of nature, thus linking to the collective ownership aspect of renewable energy plants. Depending on the procurement model chosen, renewable energy has the potential to offer true broad-based empowerment and developmental benefits to the country. A neo-Gramscian theoretical framework was selected in order to draw links between the renewable energy sector and the political economy which are so entrenched in the Minerals- Energy Complex (MEC). The neo-Gramscian framework demonstrates strength in the uncovering of the shift in the social relations of production and how these interact with the state and the international class project. It is utilised to expose the character of power and hegemony and how the needs of transnational capital are satisfied within local perceptions of development. This research revealed that the renewable energy sector has been annexed by the transnational neoliberal agenda through the non-participative nature of the REIPPPP. To challenge this power relation, the neo-Gramscian notion of a counter-hegemony is particularly pertinent. Community renewables, the focus of this research, are presented as such a counterhegemonic alternative. A number of European countries have successfully integrated community owned renewable energy plants into their energy sectors. Various case studies of community renewables in Denmark, Sweden and the UK respectively are proposed as alternative ownership models to those being promoted in the REIPPPP in South Africa. Barriers to community renewables in the South African context have been identified. These identified barriers allow one to make informed predictions about the future ownership of the renewable energy sector in South Africa. Recommendations are suggested that would work towards promoting a more inclusive and participatory renewable energy sector with greater adherence to climate justice principles. / M.
