Achieving Next Generation Environmental Impact Assessment Follow-up and Monitoring

Andronak, Brett 17 April 2017 (has links)
Despite growing scrutiny of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Canada and worldwide, the follow-up and monitoring component remains under practiced, leaving EIA decision-makers and practitioners with little understanding of the accuracy of impact predictions made and the effectiveness of mitigation measures developed during the EIA project-planning phase. The Minister’s Expert Panel further highlighted the importance of enhancing follow-up and monitoring during the recent review of EIA processes in Canada. The research identifies six leading edge practices for next generation EIA follow-up and monitoring: public and Indigenous participation, continuous learning, clear roles and responsibilities, independent oversight, adaptive management and traditional knowledge. Approaches to implement those practices in a Canadian context are explored and supported by guidance that captures the learning potential of EIA follow-up and monitoring. The six practices are intended as a package and are presented with practical guidance for proponents, regulators, consultants and others involved in EIA. / May 2017

A proteção internacional do patrimônio biocultural imaterial a partir da concepção de desenvolvimento sustentável / The international protection of the intangible biocultural heritage based on the concept of sustainable development

Rodrigues Junior, Edson Beas 02 September 2009 (has links)
O patrimônio biocultural imaterial (PBI) é composto por três grandes grupos de recursos bioculturais imateriais (RBIs), a saber, recursos da diversidade biológica (biodiversidade), conhecimentos tradicionais (CTs) e expressões culturais tradicionais (ECTs). Há muito, o PBI dos países em desenvolvimento e de suas comunidades tradicionais vem sendo apropriado sistematicamente pelas instituições dos países industrializados, por meio da reivindicação de direitos de propriedade intelectual sobre produções intelectuais deles derivadas. Desde a década de 60, sem sucesso, os países em desenvolvimento vêm se empenhando em alcançar a adoção de regimes internacionais, apropriados à proteção dos RBIs. Com a entrada em vigor do Acordo sobre Aspectos dos Direitos de Propriedade Intelectual relacionados ao Comércio da Organização Mundial do Comércio (Acordo TRIPS), em 1995, os países em desenvolvimento se viram na situação de terem de conceder proteção legal a produções intelectuais derivadas de RBIs, ainda que estes tenham sido obtidos ilicitamente. Em contra-resposta, tais países se articulam em negociar regimes internacionais de proteção das diversas categorias de RBIs, no âmbito da Conferência das Partes da Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica (CCDB), da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) e da Organização Mundial da Propriedade Intelectual (OMPI). As propostas negociadas nesses foros se assentam sobre o obsoleto regime de propriedade intelectual e são julgadas adequadas a proteger os RBIs, porquanto se mostram hábeis a reprimir sua apropriação indébita por terceiros não-autorizados. Contudo, os negociadores dos países em desenvolvimento ainda não atentaram que os RBIs não se confundem com as produções intelectuais geradas no seio da sociedade ocidental, pois contam com três dimensões peculiares, a saber, as dimensões humana, ambiental e cultural, além da dimensão imaterial. Partindo do imperativo de salvaguardar, simultaneamente, as múltiplas dimensões do PBI, o presente trabalho propõe um quadro conceitual de desenvolvimento sustentável, competente a desempenhar o papel de um tipo ideal, composto pelos elementos fundamentais que qualquer regime de proteção dos RBIs deve encerrar. A aplicação do quadro conceitual viabiliza a identificação das fraquezas e fortalezas das principais propostas de regimes internacionais em negociação/construção; permitiu ainda identificar as virtudes e fraquezas de mecanismos de proteção calcados em direitos de propriedade, direitos de quase-propriedade, regimes de responsabilidade e regras de pliability. Por fim, a aplicação do quadro conceitual de desenvolvimento sustentável ensejou a identificação de um arranjo legal e institucional apto a tutelar o PBI, de modo a promover, simultaneamente, a repressão de sua apropriação indébita (i), o uso amplo e facilitado de grande parte dos RBIs para fins produtivos (ii); a geração de recursos materiais em favor da conservação/restauração da biodiversidade e da melhoria da qualidade de vida das comunidades tradicionais (iii), e a proteção de alguns valores culturais centrais, conservados pelas comunidades tradicionais (iv). / Intangible biocultural heritage (IBH) is made up of three groups of intangible biocultural resources (IBRs), namely, biological resources (BR), traditional knowledge (TK) and traditional cultural expressions (TCEs). Historically, institutions based in industrialized countries have systematically misappropriated the IBH belonging to communities in developing countries by means of claiming Intellectual Property Rights over products derived. Since the 1960s, developing countries have unsuccessfully endeavored to reach international agreements suitable for protecting IBRs. After the Agreement on Trade- Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) came into effect in 1995, those countries have been obliged to grant legal protection to intellectual products derived from IBRs, even if those products resulted from acts of misappropriation. In response to this challenge, developing countries came together to negotiate international regimes to protect the different categories of IBRs at the Conference to the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP-CBD), before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as well as at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Their proposals, however, are rooted in the anachronistic intellectual property paradigm, ill-suited with respect to providing adequate tools to protect those resources. The negotiators representing the interests of developing countries have not realized yet that they should not treat IBRs in the same fashion as typical intellectual products originating from Western countries, provided IBRs are categorically distinct, featuring three particular dimensionshuman, environmental and culturalnot present in intellectual property as traditionally understood, in addition to the traditional intangible intellectual element. With the end of safeguarding the multiple dimension of IBH, the present work proposes na ideal sustainable development framework based upon the essential elements that any international regime devoted to protect IBH should embrace. The application of the sustainable development framework reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the most relevant proposals of international regimes currently under construction on the international level. Furthermore, it identifies the advantages and disadvantages of legal mechanisms based on property rights, quasi property rights, liability rules, and pliability rules. Finally, the application of this sustainable development framework outlines a concrete legal and institutional arrangement, capable of simultaneously (i) protecting IBRs against acts of misappropriation, (ii) fostering the wider and facilitated use of IBRs for productive purposes, (iii) generating economic resources in favor of the conservation/restoration of natural ecosystems and the improvement of the quality of life of local communities, (iv) as well as safeguarding certain core cultural values of traditional communities.

L'économie de la connaissance en Équateur : fonctions, mesures et stratégies / Knowledge economy in Ecuador : functions, measurements, strategies

Cardoso, Pablo 18 December 2018 (has links)
Cette recherche vise à passer en revue les différentes manifestations de l'économie de la connaissance en Équateur. Pour ce faire, l'approche historique utilisée cherche à rendre compte des politiques de transformation productive mises en œuvre en Équateur au cours du dernier demi-siècle (1968-2017). Parallèlement à l'examen du processus de développement économique poursuivi dans le pays, nous synthétisons la progression théorique des concepts de connaissance, de capital humain et d'innovation. Les deux analyses cherchent à contextualiser les politiques publiques de promotion des secteurs à forte intensité de connaissances appliquées en Équateur au cours de la deuxième décennie du XXIe siècle, face aux tendances dominantes du capitalisme mondialisé contemporain, qui délimitent dans une large mesure les actions et options d'une économie périphérique. Dans un second temps, à partir d'un exercice empirico-statistique, la recherche se fonde sur la collecte d'informations et la construction d'indicateurs permettant de mesurer la contribution économique des secteurs à forte intensité de connaissances, en l'occurrence les secteurs économiques intensifs en créativité. Ce qui permet de quantifier la dynamique de la création de valeur ajoutée, de l'emploi et des résultats du commerce extérieur des industries du droit d'auteur dans le cas de l'Équateur durant la période 2010-2014. Enfin, la recherche se termine par l'analyse de deux politiques du secteur public en gestion des connaissances dans des domaines typiquement régaliens, comme l'éducation et la santé, et basées sur l'hypothèse de l'existence de systèmes différents de transmission des connaissances : formel et traditionnel. / This research aims to discuss the different aspects of knowledge economy in Ecuador.For this purpose, we first use an historical approach that reflects the productive transformation policies implemented in the country over the past half-century (1968-2017). Simultaneously, we examine the economic development process in the country and we synthesize the theoretical progress of the concepts of knowledge, human capital and innovation. Both analyses seek to contextualize public policies to promote knowledge-intensive sectors, implemented in Ecuador during the second decade of the twenty-first century. These policies confront the dominant trends of the contemporary globalized capitalism, which to a large extent delimit the actions and options of a peripheral economy.Secondly, on the basis of an empirical-statistical exercise, through data collection, we constructed indicators that measure the economic contribution of knowledge-intensive sectors, particularly creative­intensive economic sectors. This exercise allows to quantify the performance of value added creation, employment and foreign trade of the Ecuadorian copyright industries during 2010 and 2014. Finally, we analyze two public policies concerning knowledge management in typically 'sovereign functions' such as education and health, based on the assumption that different systems of knowledge transmission exist: formal and traditional.

Biopirataria e direito ambiental: Estudo de caso do cupuaçu / Biopiracy and Environmental Law: study in case of Cupuaçu

Piedade, Flávia Lordello 08 August 2008 (has links)
No Brasil, o acesso aos recursos genéticos e conhecimentos tradicionais são regulamentados pela Medida Provisória n. 2186-16, de 2001. Essa regulamentação não foi capaz de conter a biopirataria, uma prática que data de tempos antigos, e cuja incidência é maior nos países megadiversos. O cupuaçu, objeto de estudo do presente trabalho, foi o primeiro caso de denúncia da biopirataria envolvendo um exemplar da biodiversidade brasileira, mas além dele, outros exemplares de nossa biodiversidade também tiveram seus nomes populares registrados como marca por empresas estrangeiras, entre os quais: o açaí, a copaíba e o jaborandi. Ante a importância do assunto e da escassez de estudos sobre o tema desenvolveu-se a presente pesquisa com o intuito de levantar, discriminar e analisar um conjunto de fatores responsáveis pela ocorrência de práticas de biopirataria tendo como referência o estudo de caso do cupuaçu. Entre os quais destacamos a inexistência de uma lei que configure a biopirataria como crime; a falta de fiscalização nas regiões com maior diversidade biológica; a burocratização gerada pela supramencionada Medida Provisória às pesquisas científicas brasileiras; as limitações dos órgãos responsáveis pela concessão de patentes; as lacunas geradas pela legislação internacional, representada pelo acordo Trips; o fator econômico, relativo ao rendimento econômico que a prática gera às empresas e instituições que se utilizam de recursos genéticos e conhecimento tradicional associado e o fator políticas públicas, dado à necessidade de políticas que valorizem o conhecimento tradicional das comunidades. Para seu combate, propomos formas de iniciativas sociais e políticas de conservação à biodiversidade e proteção ao conhecimento tradicional, onde destacam-se: o fortalecimento das unidades de conservação, principalmente as de uso sustentável por permitirem a presença humana, constituindo-se num importante mecanismo de proteção da nossa biodiversidade e das comunidades tradicionais; a multiplicação do projeto Aldeias Vigilantes: uma nova abordagem na Proteção dos Conhecimentos Tradicionais e no Combate à Biopirataria na Amazônia que visa levar à comunidade indígena um programa de caráter informativo, educativo e conscientizador sobre fatos envolvendo apropriação desautorizada de conhecimentos tradicionais e recursos biológicos da Amazônia, numa linguagem adequada à diversidade étnica e cultural de cada povo; a reflexão e aplicação da Carta dos Pajés de São Luis do Maranhão; o estímulo aos contratos de bioprospecção no Brasil; o incentivo à cooperação Sul-Sul (entre países do hemisfério sul). Além disso, elencamos os elementos necessários para a construção da legislação nacional de acesso e repartição de benefícios, sugeridos a partir das contribuições positivas identificadas nas legislações estrangeiras de acesso e repartição de benefícios; da aplicação das Diretrizes de Bonn; da construção de um sistema de patentes sui generis; aplicação das propostas da CPI da Biopirataria, além das contribuições obtidas com o processo do caso cupuaçu. / In Brazil, the access to the genetic resources and traditional knowledge are controlled by Medida Provisória n. 2186-16, of 2001. This regulation wasnt able to contain the biopiratary, a practice that dates from old times, and whose incidence is bigger in the megadiversos countries. Cupuaçu, object of study of the present work, was the first case of denunciation of biopirataria involving a sample of Brazilian biodiversity, but beyond it, other samples of our biodiversity had also their popular names registered as brands by foreign companies, among them there are: açaí, copaíba and jaborandi. In front of the importance of the subject and the shortage of studies on the subject was developed the present research with the intention to raise, discriminate and to analyze a set of responsible factors for the occurrence of the practice biopiratary having as reference the study of case of cupuaçu. Among them there are: the lack of a law that configures this biopiratary as crime; the lack of fiscalization in the regions with bigger biological diversity; the bureaucratization generated by the Medida Provisória against the Brazilian scientific research; the limitations of the responsible agencies for the concession of patents; the gaps generated for the international legislation, represented for the Trips agreement; the economic factor, relative factor to the economic income that the first practice generates the companies and institutions which use genetic resources and traditional knowledge and the public politics factor, to necessity of politicians that value the traditional knowledge of the communities. For this combat, we consider forms of social initiatives and politics of conservation to biodiversity and protection to the traditional knowledge, where they are distinguished: the strengthening of the units of conservation, mainly of sustainable use for allowing to the presence human being, consisting in an important mechanism of protection of our biodiversity and the traditional communities; the multiplication of the project \"Vigilant Villages: a new boarding in the Protection of the Traditional Knowledge and in the Combat of the Biopiratary in the Amazon\" that aims at taking the aboriginal community a program with informative character, educative and makes counscious on facts involving anauthorized appropriation of traditional knowledge and biological resources of the Amazon, in a suitable language to the ethnic and cultural diversity of each people; the reflection and application of the Letter of the Pajés of São Luis of the Maranhão; the stimulus to contract of bioprospecção in Brazil; the incentive to the cooperation South-South (between countries of the south hemisphere). Moreover, we identify the necessary elements for the construction of the national legislation of access and distribution of benefits, suggested from the positive contributions identified in the foreign legislations of access and distribution of benefits; of the application of Diretrizes of Bonn; the construction of a patentss system sui generis; application of the proposals of the CPI of the Biopiratary, beyond the contributions gotten with the process of the cupuaçus case.

La transmission du patrimoine médicinal créole : problématique, pertinence et évaluation d’un savoir traditionnel / The transmission of the creole medicinal heritage : Problem, relevance and estimate of a certain traditional knowledge

Concy, Huguette 26 February 2015 (has links)
En occupant un espace social privilégié, la médecine traditionnelle et les diverses pratiques qui y sont liées, sont de moins en moins marginalisées, de plus en plus admises comme ressources et la société leur devient du même coup permissive. La tolérance sociale est relativement forte ». Cette lecture de la situation de la médecine traditionnelle et de sa réception dans la société est celle de l’anthropologue et médecine martiniquais M. Yoyo. Elle évoque la réalité de la médecine créole dans l’espace antillais et dit l’intérêt que lui portent ceux qui en font usage.L’objectif de cette recherche est de poser la question de la transmission du savoir médicinal en contexte martiniquais : transmission des tradipraticiens vers les profanes ; transmission entre professionnels de cette médecine. Autrement dit comment se fait l’apprentissage si apprentissage il y a, de ce savoir traditionnel, jalousement gardé par ceux qui l’exercent ? La dimension magico-religieuse de ce savoir influe-t-elle sur sa transmission ? Quel est le rôle de la famille dans l’éducation et la transmission de ces pratiques ? Quelle est la connaissance profane accessible à tous et que détiennent certaines familles ? Celle-ci répond-elle aux attentes de la médecine traditionnelle et comment les familles procèdent-elles à sa transmission ? Quelle contribution l’institution scolaire apporte-t-elle à la sauvegarde de ce patrimoine ? Ce questionnement nous amène à nous interroger sur les pratiques en matière de médecine des Martiniquais et à considérer la coexistence entre savoir traditionnel et savoir rationnel dit moderne.On ne peut faire l’économie de ces analyses si on veut appréhender de façon objective le problème de la transmission de la médecine créole, de sa sauvegarde par – et pour – les générations montantes, en raison de l’aspect mémoriel de cette pratique thérapeutique mais également en raison de son efficacité et du potentiel important qu’elle représente pour la santé dans les années qui viennent. / By occupying a privileged social space, traditional medicine and the diverses practices related to the field are less and less marginalized, more and more accepted as resources, thus society is gradually becoming more tolerant towards those practices. The social tolerance is relatively strong”. This perception of the present situation of traditional medicine and of its reception in society is proposed by M. Yoyo, French anthropologist and physician from Martinique. It speaks of the reality of traditional medicine in the west Indians context and highlights the positive affects on those who make use of it. The objective of this research is to explore the question of the transmission of medicinal knowledge within the confines of Martinique: transmission by traditionalists towards nonprofessionals as well as transmission among professionals in the fields of medicine. In other words, what learning, if any, still exists of this traditional knowledge faithfully kept by those practiced it? To what extent does the magical-religious experience influence the transmission of this knowledge? What is the role of the family in the education and the transmission of those practices? How much of this profane knowledge is accessible to all and to what extent is it practiced by families? Does the latter respond to the demands of traditional medicine? How do families proceed with the process of transmission. What contribution does the school make towards preserving this tradition ? The above questions provoke reflection on the medicinal practices of the people of Martinique and of the possible coexistence of traditional knowledge and modern or rational knowledge. These questions are inevitable if we want to progress with objectivity in the transmission of Creole medicine and of its preservation for future generations, as a form of safeguarding the memory of this therapeutic practice. However, they also help to focus on the level of its effectiveness and the potential importance that it represents in ensuring a healthy environment in the coming years.

Capacitação de parteiras tradicionais do Amapá: Tensões entre incorporação de saber médico e resistência cultural na prática de partejar / Training of traditional midwives in AmapÃ: Tensions between the incorporation of medical knowledge and cultural resistance in the practice of midwifery

Iraci de Carvalho Barroso 27 March 2017 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A presente tese, a partir de uma anÃlise socioantropolÃgica, problematiza a questÃo da capacitaÃÃo de parteiras tradicionais, discutindo as tensÃes entre incorporaÃÃo de saber mÃdico e resistÃncia cultural na prÃtica de partejar das parteiras no AmapÃ. Para tanto, apoio-me em perspectivas epistemolÃgicas crÃticas que problematizam as hierarquias e dicotomias subjacentes à âmonocultura do saberâ, segundo proposta analÃtica de Santos (2006), a qual confere privilÃgios de conhecimento e de poder aos saberes cientÃficos, em detrimento de outras formas de saberes. Valho-me, em alinhamento a essa perspectiva analÃtica, da crÃtica feminista ao sujeito universal da ciÃncia e de seus privilÃgios de enunciaÃÃo. Privilegio, sobretudo, aquelas teorizaÃÃes que desvelam o processo de silenciamento imposto aos saberes e ao poder de agÃncia engendrado pelas mulheres (HARDING, 1998; HARAWAY, 1995; SANTOS, 2012). O estudo compÃe-se de uma abordagem qualitativa, com etnografia e uso de narrativas de 25 parteiras tradicionais, perifÃricas, remanescentes quilombolas e indÃgenas, que se configuram como interlocutoras de minha pesquisa, alÃm de fontes documentais e entrevistas com 10 profissionais da Ãrea biomÃdica. O recorte da pesquisa vai de 2013 a 2016, produzindo um material que dialoga com experiÃncias de pesquisas anteriores sobre a temÃtica das parteiras tradicionais. Permeia na tese o contexto empÃrico dos cursos de capacitaÃÃo no AmapÃ. âCapacitaÃÃoâ à um termo empregado pelo MinistÃrio da SaÃde e implementado pelo âProjeto de resgate e valorizaÃÃo de parteiras tradicionaisâ, implementado pelo governo do Estado do Amapà para instrumentalizar as profissionais do parto domiciliar. AtravÃs dessa configuraÃÃo tÃcnica e biopolÃtica, a âcapacitaÃÃoâ se constitui num rico cenÃrio em que se dÃo a ver confrontos entre heterogÃneas visÃes de mundo (sobretudo aquelas concernentes à saÃde, ao corpo da mulher, à higiene e à seguranÃa), sistemas de conhecimento tÃcnico e repertÃrios de aÃÃo, condensados na tipologia cientÃfico versus tradicional. AtravÃs da inserÃÃo etnogrÃfica e das narrativas das interlocutoras, tento analisar esses confrontos, o que podem significar enquanto obrigaÃÃo de incorporaÃÃo de saberes e prÃticas. Os resultados apontam para as tensÃes, conquistas e tambÃm reconhecimento. Nessa relaÃÃo, tem-se como conquistas o fato da parteira ser cadastrada em programa estadual; participar dos cursos e treinamentos; receber o diploma, o âkit parteiraâ e ser incluÃda no sistema de pagamento da bolsa â elementos de reafirmaÃÃo identitÃria e de reconhecimento da legitimidade da parteira, alÃm de tecerem redes compartilhadas de troca de experiÃncia entre mulheres que partejam. Por outro lado, as contradiÃÃes se expressam nas tensÃes entre a ampliaÃÃo da funÃÃo social da parteira, que apÃs a capacitaÃÃo à chamada a intervir em diferentes esferas da promoÃÃo da saÃde comunitÃria, porÃm sem reconhecimento profissional como trabalhadora da saÃde, sendo, em alguns casos, explicitamente impedidas de prestarem seu serviÃo. Ao discutir capacitaÃÃo, incorporaÃÃo de saber e resistÃncia cultural, pretendemos contribuir para a compreensÃo desse processo dinÃmico de formaÃÃo e recriaÃÃo identitÃria de parteiras tradicionais que vivenciam suas prÃticas no cotidiano comunitÃrio e sobretudo, para os estudos socioantropolÃgicos e da saÃde da mulher.

NAS ÁGUAS DE GUIMARÃES: UMA ANÁLISE DA SUSTENTABILIDADE PESQUEIRA ARTESANAL DO MUNICÍPIO. MA/BRASIL. / AT GUIMARÃES WATERS: AN ANALYSES OF THE CRAFT FISHERY SUSTENTABILITY IN THE MUNICIPAL DISTRICT, MA/ BRAZIL.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-08-19T18:20:38Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Roberto Santos Ramos.pdf: 1664268 bytes, checksum: 6dd3fc0b46dce305d722a2818727a457 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-09-27 / The craft fishery contributes significantly to the marine and riverside populations constiting an important source of animal protein. This activity defines ictiologicas interactions forming a complex system of knowledge about fishery, which is passed along for the next generations. Moreover, the free access that characterizes these fisheries contributes to the growth of the pressures made on the haliênicos resources. The objective in this work was to evaluate the craft fishery sustentability done at the Guimarães district MA in its environmental, social, economic and technologic dimentions and the handling, so as to contribute to the fishery ordination. Guimarães district is located at the middle-north region at the west coast of Maranhão-Brazil. The data gathering was done from October 2007 to October 2008. The information was gathered through semi-structured questionnaire applied to the fishers, portraying the aspects of the sustentability dimentions treated in this work, and the knowledge that came from the ictiológicas interactions which had its own questionnaire that treated about the reproduction aspects, feeding and fish distribution. Moreover, interviews were done in administrative agencies linked to fisheries, in order to formulate a notion model for the social, economic and political aspects refering to fisheries that reflects themselves in the fishery community at Guimarães. Aiming to have a dimention of the fisher production in the district, disembark cards were used. Fishery projects that occured in the district were investigated through researches participant.. The traditional knowledge was analysed through comparative cognitive chart and model of the union of the many competencies. Date refering to the sustentability dimention was analysed through rapfish. The main results show that the district, for lack of job and income creation alternatives developed its fishers contingent along the years, as well as the kinds and quantities of fishery stuff used, being the zangaria, guizo, fuzarca e curral considered less sustainable. The traditional knowledge about the activity that envolves the fishery stuff, vessels and the knowledge of the fish behaviour, revealed consistent with the cientific information which can be inserted in the handling strategies. The fish production in the district varied from 3.941 kg to 22.377 kg, having Porto Grande (Large Harbor) the biggest volume in disembarked products. Among most of the fish that were caught, there is taínha, followed by corvina and uritinga. The community s handling strategies were considered possible of application in the district, as long as there will be the continuous participation of administrators and regulator agencies turned to fishery. Confirmed, thus, the hipothesis that the practice of the craft fishery as it is done today in the district, without control, without social organization for the activity and without ordination result in lower productive potential of the region, compromising its environmental , social, economic and technologic sustentability. / A pesca artesanal contribui significativamente para as populações marinhas e ribeiras, constituindo-se numa importante fonte de proteína animal. Essa atividade define interações ictiológicas formando um sistema complexo de conhecimento a cerca das pescarias, o qual é repassado ao longo das gerações. Além disso, o livre acesso característico da pesca contribui para o aumento das pressões exercidas aos recursos haliêuticos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a sustentabilidade da pesca artesanal praticada no município de Guimarães-MA em suas dimensões ambiental, social, econômica, tecnológica e de manejo, de forma a contribuir com o ordenamento pesqueiro. O município de Guimarães localiza-se na meso-região norte do litoral ocidental do Maranhão-Brasil. A coleta de dados deu-se no período de outubro de 2007 a outubro de 2008. As informações foram coletadas através de questionários semiestruturados junto aos pescadores, retratando os aspectos das dimensões da sustentabilidade abordadas nesse trabalho e os conhecimentos advindos das interações ictiológicas que seguiram questionário próprio, o qual tratou de aspectos da reprodução, alimentação e distribuição dos peixes. Além disso, foram realizadas entrevistas a órgãos gestores ligados à pesca, a fim de formular um modelo conceitual dos aspectos sociais, econômicos e políticos referentes às pescarias, que se refletem na comunidade pesqueira de Guimarães. Visando dimensionar a produção pesqueira no município bem como os projetos e programas desenvolvidos, utilizou-se respectivamente fichas de desembarque pesqueiro e pesquisa participante. O conhecimento tradicional foi analisado por meio de tabelas de cognição comparada e modelo da união das diversas competências. Dados referentes às dimensões da sustentabilidade foram analisados por meio do rapfish. Os principais resultados mostram que o município, por falta de alternativas de geração de trabalho e renda, incrementou seu contingente de pescadores ao longo dos anos, bem como os tipos e quantidades de petrechos de pesca utilizados, sendo a zangaria, guizo, fuzarca e curral considerados menos sustentáveis. O conhecimento tradicional acerca da atividade que envolve os petrechos de pesca, embarcações e o conhecimento do comportamento dos peixes, revelou-se consistente com informações científicas, podendo ser inseridas em estratégias de manejo. A produção pesqueira no município variou de 3.941 kg a 22.377 kg, tendo o Porto Grande o maior volume em produtos desembarcados. Dentre os peixes mais pescados destacam-se os peixes do grupo Mugilidae (tainha), seguidos de Cynoscion e Macrodon (corvina) e Hexanematichthy proops (uritinga). As estratégias de manejo comunitário foram consideradas viáveis de aplicação no município desde que condicionadas à participação contínua de gestores e órgãos reguladores voltadas à pesca. Confirma-se, assim a hipótese de que a prática da atividade pesqueira artesanal nos moldes atuais no município sem controle, sem organização social para atividade e sem ordenamento produzem resultados abaixo do potencial produtivo da região, comprometendo a sua sustentabilidade ambiental, social, econômica e tecnológica.

De índios para índios: a escrita indígena da história / Of Indians for Indians: the writing Indian of history

Scaramuzzi, Igor Alexandre Badolato 06 October 2008 (has links)
No decorrer das últimas décadas, muitos grupos indígenas vêm progressivamente intensificando e ampliando a gama de relações com os mais variados setores da sociedade nacional. Nesse contexto, assumem a tarefa de elaborar discursos em que devem se apresentar, enquanto grupos diferenciados, para o \"outro\'\'. Na construção desse diálogo, as experiências de escolarização, especialmente na sua vertende \"diferenciada\", constituem um rico espectro de produção discursiva que esta dissertação pretende enfocar. É, de fato, no âmbito dessas experiências de ensino formal, que muitos grupos indígenas estão refletindo e recriando através da escrita em línguas indígenas e em língua portuguesa suas formas de produzir e transmitir experiências históricas. Tendo como enfoque o processo de escolarização e letramento em andamento em vários contextos indígenas no país, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar dez materiais didáticos cuja proposta é a escrita de narrativas sobre reflexões e experiências históricas e sobre conhecimentos entendidos como \"tradicionais\" elaboradas no ambito de cinco experiências de escolarização (Acre, Amazonas, Espírito Santo Xingu, Mato Grosso e Minas Gerais). Busca-se averiguar através da análise dos materiais didáticos, como professores e lideranças indígenas vinculados a essas cinco experiências estão utilizando a linguagem escrita para construir representações de si mesmos, nas quais procuram articular seus saberes tradicionais e as concepções ocidentais de conhecimento e transmissão de experiências históricas. / During the last decades, many indigenous groups have progressively intensified and increased the span of relations with various sectors of national society. In this context, they have assumed the task of elaborating discourses in which they present themselves to the other as differentiated groups. In constructing this dialogue, experiences in schooling, specially of the differentiated kind, constitute a rich spectrum of discursive production, which this thesis seeks to focus upon. In fact, it is within these experiences of formal education that many indigenous groups are reflecting and recreating through the use of writing in the native and Portuguese languages their forms of producing and transmitting historical experiences. Focusing on the process of schooling and literacy in progress in various indigenous contexts throughout the country, this thesis seeks to analyze ten examples of educational material, produced in five different school programs (Acre, Amazonas, Espírito Santo, Xingu, Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais), that have as an objective the written production of narratives concerning historical experiences and reflections and that which is understood to be traditional knowledge. The objective of this research is to understand, by means of the analysis of this educational material, how indigenous leaders and teachers connected to these five school programs are using the written language to produce representations of themselves, in which they seek to articulate their traditional knowledge and occidental conceptions of knowledge and transmission of historical experiences.

The relevance for sustainable development of the protection of intellectual property rights in traditional cultural expressions

Olajumoke Ibironke Esan January 2009 (has links)
<p>This research work addresses the problem being faced by developing countries in the commercial exploitation of their traditional cultural expressions (TCEs) by third parties without giving due attribution to nor sharing benefits with the communities from which these TCEs originate. This problem stems from the inability of customary law systems which regulates life in such communities to adequately cater for the protection of these TCEs. The legal systems of the developing countries have also proven to be ineffective in the protection of TCEs from such misappropriation and unauthorized commercial exploitation. This mini-thesis examines how TCEs have been protected domestically through national legislation and internationally through treaties and proposes means by which they can be protected in a manner that would preserve them, while promoting the dissemination of those which can be shared without destroying their inherent nature. This mini-thesis thus explores avenues through which the protection of TCEs would contribute to economic and human development in developing countries.</p>

<p>There is a growing interplay of competing realities facing the international community in the general areas of innovation, technological advancement and overall economic development. The highly industrialised wealthy nations, largely located on the Northern hemisphere are on the one hand undoubtedly at the forefront in global research, technology and infrastructure development. The developing and least developed countries on the other hand are mostly situated on the Southern hemisphere. They are not as wealthy or technologically advanced as their&nbsp / Northern counterparts, but are naturally endowed with unique variations of plant, animal and micro-organism species occurring in natural ecosystems, as well as the traditional knowledge on&nbsp / how to use these unique species. This knowledge has been adjudged to be responsible for the sustainable maintenance of the earth&rsquo / s biodiversity. Increasing exploitation of biodiversity,&nbsp / spurred on by the competing realities identified above, has left the earth in a present state of alarm with respect to the uncontrolled loss of biodiversity. The traditional knowledge of local&nbsp / peoples has significantly offered leads to research institutes from the North in developing major advancements in drugs, cosmetics and agriculture. Little or no compensation has however been seen to go back to the indigenous&nbsp / communities and countries that provide resources, and indicate various possibilities through their traditional knowledge to the use of such resources. Efforts by some biodiversity rich countries to&nbsp / ddress this trend through legislation developed in accordance with the principles of the Convention on Biological Diversity have been frustrated due to the inability to enforce their domestic laws outside their borders. Theft of genetic resources and its associated traditional knowledge&nbsp / from such countries has therefore remained a major challenge. Against this backdrop, and on the&nbsp / insistence of biodiversity-rich developing countries, an international regime on access and benefit sharing was negotiated and its final text adopted in 2010. This international regime is as&nbsp / contained in the Nagoya Protocol. This research sets out to examine whether the Nagoya Protocol offers a final solution to the protection of traditional knowledge associated with biodiversity in&nbsp / biodiverse countries. It further examines the importance of domestic legislation in achieving the objectives of the Protocol. The research has been tailored to African biodiverse countries, and&nbsp / seeks these answers within the context of Africa.<br /> &nbsp / </p>
