Previous issue date: 2017-03-07 / This study seeks to determine the economic and social impacts that highway
infrastructure projects caused in cities in the state of Mato Grosso, situated along the
BR 158 Highway, such as Barra do Garças, Água Boa, Canarana and Confresa, in
the period from 2000 to 2014. Firstly, the role of highway infrastructure investments
in promoting the expansion of large monocultures, such as soybeans and corn, was
identified. Then, the socioeconomic profile of the region of influence of the BR 158
Highway was characterized, encompassing demography, flow of employment,
economic production, exports and imports of the cities, and other items. The study
also verified the effects of highway infrastructure investments in the cities in question,
in relation to small and medium-sized industrial and commercial segments. Lastly, it
identified the goods that are transported and the highway support conditions from the
perspective of truck drivers. The methodology used, which was quantitative and
qualitative in nature, was supported by instruments, such as observation, interviews,
document research and a literature review, with the data presented in the form of
comments and tables. In assessing the economic and social impacts of the
production changes in the Brazilian cerrado (tropical savanna ecoregion), as a result
of highway infrastructure projects, the objective is to help explain the process of
regional integration in Mato Grosso, in the current period, and chart it for the
upcoming years, based on the infrastructure projects in question. / Com este trabalho procurou-se descobrir quais os impactos econômicos e sociais
que as obras de infraestrutura viária desencadearam em municípios matogrossenses,
situados ao longo da rodovia BR 158, como Barra do Garças, Água
Boa, Canarana e Confresa, no período compreendido entre 2000 e 2014.
Primeiramente, identificou-se o papel dos investimentos em infraestrutura rodoviária
no estímulo à expansão das grandes monoculturas agrícolas, soja e milho. Na
sequência, fez-se uma caracterização do perfil socioeconômico da região de
influência da rodovia BR 158, abrangendo demografia, fluxo de emprego, produção
econômica, exportação e importação dos municípios, entre outros. Também
identificou-se a repercussão dos investimentos em infraestrutura rodoviária nos
municípios em questão, para os pequenos e médios segmentos industriais e
comerciais e, para finalizar, identificaram-se as mercadorias que são transportadas e
as condições de suporte da rodovia na perspectiva dos caminhoneiros. A
metodologia utilizada, de natureza quanti-qualitativa, foi auxiliada por instrumentos,
como: a observação, a entrevista, a pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, sendo os
dados apresentados, em forma de comentário e de tabelas. Ao avaliar os impactos
econômicos e sociais das transformações produtivas, na área do cerrado brasileiro,
derivados das obras de infraestrutura de rodovias, esperou-se contribuir para
explicar a natureza do processo de integração regional em Mato Grosso, no período
atual, e projetá-lo para os próximos anos, com base nas obras de infraestrutura em
questão.

Economic Analysis of HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa / Ekonomická analýza pandemie AIDS v Subsaharské AfriceNýdrle, Tomáš January 2009 (has links)
HIV/AIDS is a real threat for Sub-Saharan Countries. It increased adult mortality substantially. HIV/AIDS pandemic causes the death of the most productive part of affected population. Human capital passing on to future generations is limited. Low economic performance and income inequality induce higher HIV vulnerability. Contra wise HIV/AIDS has significant negative effect on the welfare of affected population. The sources of pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa are not only social and cultural. Health and nutrition situation play considerable role. Holistic approach based on education, fidelity, abstinence and improvement of economic situation and moderate condom use (as the last way of prevention) seems to be an effective way of pandemic elimination.

Environmental and socio-economic impact of hosting refugees : a case study of villages around the Dzaleka refugee camp in Dowa district, MalawiKavalo, Eddie Bright 11 1900 (has links)
The opening of the refugee camp in Dowa by the Malawi Government, with support from UNHCR meant that the population of that area was increased abruptly. This led to an increase in socio- economic activities resulting into high demand of energy, food and other amenities from the natural environment. The impact of the refugees on the host community and their relationship was central in this research. The main aim of the study was to assess the environmental and socio-economic impacts for hosting refugees at the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Dowa. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods in data collection. A structured questionnaire, focus group discussions and key informant interviews were used to collect data and analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 16.0. In total, 237 household heads and 6 key informants were interviewed. In addition, 4 focus group discussions were conducted. Qualitative data, collected through focus group discussions helped in explaining and understanding the results from the questionnaire. The most evident environmental impacts reported by respondents were: deforestation and firewood depletion; land degradation and water pollution. It is important to note that such environmental impacts can affect the long-term livelihood opportunities of both refugees and host population. The camp establishment has had socio-economic impacts regarded as positive by the majority of the respondents. Although most hosts still struggle to survive, the camp has created a larger market for generating income and better opportunities to provide basic needs such as food and water. The majority of host respondents use the refugee camp for providing livelihoods. Most respondents reported that refugees are regularly benefitting from privileged access to resources unavailable to the local host population. In this respect, refugees at Dzaleka were offered opportunities for education, literacy, vocational training, health and basic livelihood. The most reported negative social impacts are exposure to more conflicts and increased insecurity. Both of these impacts relate to the relationship between the host community and refugee population. / Environmental Sciences / M. Sc. (Environmental Management)
