Estudo comparativo dos sambaquis Caipora, Lageado e Jaboticabeira I: interpretações acerca da mudança de material construtivo ao longo do tempo / Comparative Study of Capiora, Lageado and Jaboticabeira I sambaquis: interpretations about the change of constructive material along time.

Oliveira, Tânia Ferraz de 26 March 2010 (has links)
O presente trabalho apresenta o estudo das camadas estratigráficas de três sambaquis situados nos municípios de Jaguaruna e Treze de Maio, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Partimos do princípio de que eles são estruturas erigidas intencionalmente por uma população que habitou a região por aproximadamente 6000 anos, e que para a construção de seus cemitérios se apropriavam do material malacológico disponível na região. O desmembramento dos componentes de cada camada nos forneceu informações a respeito do material construtivo dos sítios, e a partir destes resultados foi possível testar algumas hipóteses sobre a mudança da matriz construtiva verificada nos sambaquis. / This work presents the study of stratigraphical layers of three sambaquis located on Jaguaruna and Treze de Maio, Santa Catarina, Brazil. We assume that such structures were intentionally built by a population that inhabited the region for over 6000 years, and that for the pilling up of their burial grounds they gathered malacological material available within the area. The breakdown of the elements of each layer provided us information regarding the construction material of the sites, and based on these results it was possible to test some hypothesis regarding a change on the constructive matrix recorded on the sambaquis.

Cultural analysis of the Karakuwa fishing community in Japan and Fishermen's reforestation movement

Takahashi, Tokiko 17 April 2002 (has links)
Based on the author's ethnographic research at the Karakuwa fishing community in Japan, this thesis explains a cultural process of the local people's synthesis of the values they place on nature and their everyday behavior in a modern industrial world. Explicated by ethnographic narrative, this study focuses on a revitalization movement similar to others attempted by fishermen in other parts of Japan. These revitalization movements embody values, held by fishermen for centuries, that nature should be respected. These movements also serve as symbolic activities to resurrect natural resource users' visions of nature, that emphasize the connectedness of all parts of nature including humans. In the specific revitalization movement studied here, the activists insist on the fishermen's knowledge of the connection between reforestation upstream on a coastal river and the coastal fishing ground. This study also demonstrates how significant it is to know the insiders' points of view and their cultural values when we try to understand the relationship between humans and nature. By studying what kind of traditional knowledge the Karakuwa fishermen have utilized to support the fishermen's reforestation activities and what has been dismissed, we can gain insight into the process of value transformation that takes place side by side with the actual environmental degradation and economic changes experienced by the local fishermen. In this study, the conclusion is that local people manage with those contradictions by categorizing events along a continuum between "reality" and "ideal." This study contributes to the local people in the Karakuwa fishing community as a source of cultural information extending their knowledge about their indigenous identity and furthering their understanding of how they revitalize their local traditions yet modernize in this era of globalization. / Graduation date: 2003

The relocation of the Eli Lilly Farm Office and an adaptive use and/or rehabilitation proposal

Smith, Virginia M. January 2008 (has links)
David Kroll, Director of the Preservation Studio at RATIO Architects, Inc. in Indianapolis, approached me in September of 2007 about a project. The Eli Lilly Farm in Carmel, Indiana was in danger of demolition. The property was sold to a development company who was proposing an idea for over 1000 homes as a part of a "Master Planned Community" to be built on 335 acres of land. One of the stipulations of this sale was that the Conner Prairie Living History Museum had first right of refusal on any of the buildings from the property. The idea had been brought up to relocate a couple of the buildings on the farm to save them from demolition. I decided to document the farm so that future generations could know what used to exist there. That idea developed into my current topic: "A Study of the Relocation of the Eli Lilly Farm Office with adaptive use Options and Rehabilitation Recommendations." / Department of Architecture

Formação socioambiental de jovens filhos de pescador : percepções e relações culturais

Nunes, Roseli Pereira 08 August 2013 (has links)
Issues sociambientais have set as an object of research widely studied by those who desire to understand how relations are established between humans, natural and physical resources and the environment. To do so, highlight the relevance of perception as having investigative procedure essential to the understanding of the multiple ways that people understand and relate to their surroundings. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the perception of children of fishermen from the village of Street Straw / Sergipe, about the relations established in the environmental community. It is emphasized that this is a place formed mostly by remaining Maroons who have fishing the main economic activity and household livelihoods. The fieldwork was carried out between the months of May and July 2012 with the completion of semi-structured interviews with fishermen and young children of fishermen who also participated in six workshops that had educommunication used as a tool for the transmission of knowledge. Through the activities carried out with young people, it was possible to collect data for later analysis of the socio-environmental reality in perceived locus, quoting positioning them on the cultural practices of the Maroons characteristics and prospects of these subjects in relation to the professional future, highlighting the desire whose join work activities other than fishing and the importance they attach to formal education as essential for such a feat. While the relevance of this study highlight the interest of the continuity of the activities involved. Thus, it was concluded believing in the importance of research that makes use of environmental perception since it can contribute more contextualized understanding of the environment, respecting the specificities of those involved, stimulating new knowledge and, consequently, different forms of environmental interaction. Thus, the perception also contributes to environmental education projects that aim to work to educational practice in a participatory manner, favoring a work of equal conditions involved, seeking an interdisciplinary action. / As questões sociambientais têm se configurado enquanto objeto de pesquisa amplamente estudadas por aqueles que almejam compreender de que maneira são estabelecidas as relações entre os seres humanos, os recursos físico-naturais e o entorno. Para tanto, destaca-se a relevância de ter a percepção como procedimento investigativo essencial para a compreensão das múltiplas maneiras que as pessoas entendem e se relacionam com o entorno. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a percepção de filhos de pescadores do povoado Rua da Palha/Sergipe, acerca das relações socioambientais estabelecidas na comunidade. Ressalta-se tratar-se de um local formado em sua maioria por remanescentes de quilombolas que têm na pesca a principal atividade econômica e de sustento familiar. O trabalho de campo foi desenvolvido entre os meses de Maio e Julho de 2012 com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com pescadores e com jovens filhos de profissionais da pesca que participaram também de seis oficinas que tiveram a educomunicação como ferramenta utilizada para a transmissão de conhecimentos. Mediante as atividades realizadas com os jovens, foi possível coletar dados para posterior análise da realidade socioambiental percebida in lócus, a citar o posicionamento deles diante das práticas culturais características dos quilombolas e as perspectivas destes sujeitos no que se refere ao futuro profissional, destacando o desejo que têm por ingressar em atividades de trabalho diferentes da pesca e a importância que atribuem à educação formal como essencial para tal feito. Enquanto relevância deste estudo, destaca-se o interesse dos envolvidos pela continuidade das atividades. Assim, concluiu-se acreditando na importância da investigação que faz uso da percepção ambiental uma vez que ela pode contribuir com o entendimento mais contextualizado do entorno, respeitando as especificidades dos sujeitos envolvidos, estimulando novos conhecimentos e, consequentemente, diferentes formas de interação socioambiental. Desta maneira, a percepção contribui também para projetos de Educação Ambiental que objetivem trabalhar a prática educativa de maneira participativa, favorecendo a um trabalho de igualdade de condições entre os envolvidos, visando uma perspectiva interdisciplinar de ação.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Martinelli_ClaudiadeMiranda_M.pdf: 1290447 bytes, checksum: ab7d6f404f4a087cbbaea1d384d6436c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: A etnoecologia estuda o conhecimento ecológico local das comunidades humanas sobre os recursos naturais. Informações etnoecológicas analisadas e interpretadas com base na literatura ictiológica vêm contribuindo para a compreensão da ecologia dos recursos pesqueiros. Diversos estudos demonstram a importância do conhecimento tradicional, que torna mais eficiente a obtenção de informações detalhadas sobre as espécies-alvo das pescarias e sua utilização em práticas de manejo pesqueiro. Essas informações podem ser tanto utilizadas diretamente no manejo quanto como hipóteses de estudos. O objetivo desse trabalho é conhecer a etnoictiologia de Mycteroperca bonaci (sirigado), Epinephelus morio (garoupa), Cephalopholis fulva (piraúna), Pomatomus saltatrix (enchova), Centropomusundecimalis (robalo) que ocorrem na costa do Rio Grande do Norte (nordeste do Brasil), além de obter dados biológicos sobre robalo. As informações etnoictiológicas foram obtidas através de entrevistas estruturadas com 28 pescadores experientes e os dados biológicos foram obtidos através da análise das gônadas e do conteúdo estomacal de 90 indivíduos de robalo. As informações dos entrevistados sobre dieta do robalo (peixes e crustáceos), sirigado (peixes), piraúna (peixes) e enchova (peixes e crustáceos) foram concordantes com as informações científicas, já as respostas sobre a garoupa indicaram peixes, ao invés de crustáceos (como consta na literatura científica) como item alimentar mais importante da sua dieta. As informações sobre habitat do robalo (próximo à costa), do sirigado (águas profundas, dentro das pedras), da garoupa (fundos rochosos) e da piraúna (fundos rochosos)estão de acordo com a literatura científica. As respostas sobre migração e reprodução do robalo, do sirigado, da piraúna, da garoupa e da enchova foram as que mais discordaram das informações científicas, sugerindo um conhecimento dos pescadores pouco detalhado sobre esses assuntos ou uma nova informação sobre a ecologia dessas espécies na região estudada que poderia ser utilizada como hipótese em estudos futuros. As informações dos pescadores semelhantes aos dados da literatura científica podem apoiar decisões de manejo por causa da sua plausibilidade e concordância com o conhecimento científico, considerando a urgência de se fazer um plano de manejo viável para as áreas costeiras no Brasil e as dificuldades logísticas e financeiras de se fazer pesquisas ecológicas, principalmente no ambiente marinho. Para um bom manejo pesqueiro é necessário utilizar conjuntamente as informações etnoecológicas e científicas sobre a reprodução, migração, habitat e dieta das espécies. Mesmo com as limitações de tempo e esforço amostral, o presente estudo contribuiu para aumentar o conhecimento biológico sobre o robalo, o sirigado, a garoupa, a piraúna e a enchova na região nordeste do Brasil / Abstract: Ethnoecological information analyzed and interpreted based on icthiological literature contribute to the understanding of fisheries resources. Several studies demonstrate the importance of local knowledge, which optimizes the gathering of information on the target species and its utilization in fishery management practices. This information can be used directly in management or as work hypothesis. The Objective of this study is to understand the ethnoecology of Mycteroperca bonaci (sirigado), Epinephelus morio (garoupa), Cephalopholis fulva (piraúna), Pomatomus saltatrix (enchova), Centropomus undecimalis (robalo) which occur at the coast of Rio Grande do Norte (Northeast of Brazil). In addition we also aim to gather biological data about the robalo. The ethnoictiological information was gathered through structured interviews with 28 fishermen and the biological data was gathered through analysis of gonads and stomach content of 90 robalo individuals. The information of the fishermen about diet of robalo (fish and crustaceans), sirigado (fish), piraúna (fish) and enchova (fish and crustaceans) agreed with the scientific information. The answers about the garoupa diet indicated fish, instead of crustaceans (as wrote in scientific literature), as a primary food item. The information about the habitat of robalo (next to the coast), sirigado (deep water, inside the rocks), garoupa ( rocky bottoms) and piraúna (rocky bottoms) agreed with the scientific information. The mostly of answersabout migration and spawning of robalo, sirigado, garoupa, piraúna e enchova disagreed with the information in scientific literature, what suggests that the fisher?s knowledge is less accurate about this issues or a new information about the ecology of these species can be use as hypothesis in future studies in the region. The fishermen information that agreed with the scientific information can support coastal management decisions because of its plausibility and agreement with the scientific knowledge, considering the urgency to make a coast management plan viable to Brazilian coastal areas and the logistic and financial difficulties to do marine ecological research / Mestrado / Ecologia / Mestre em Ecologia

Making urban fishing sustainable. A case study of fishing practices and management in the city of Hamburg

Gellers, Sören January 2022 (has links)
Ongoing urbanization and the demand for food, water and recreation influence the sustainability of blue urban spaces. Fishery is a prominent use of urban blue space and can cause pressure on urban nature, its water bodies and fish. This growing pressure requires more attention to how urban dwellers use and value this space and requests smart fishing management for urban areas. To improve knowledge on how to realise sustainable urban fishing, this thesis used an interview study in the city of Hamburg in Germany. Six fishers, two representatives of fishing clubs and one representative of the fishing club association, were interviewed, and the results were combined with observations during one and a half weeks of field study and literature review. The study shows that Germany uses a distinctive approach regarding fishing management with a general ban on catch-and-release and strict regulations. Since fishing law is a state law, the federal state of Hamburg is responsible for its fishing management. The main managing tool is the new fishing law from 2019, developed with scientists and stakeholders to improve fishing in an ethical and sustainable way. The stakeholder’s different impacts on and interests in the rivers of Hamburg have to be respected and are shown in this thesis. The study concludes that management practices have to be managed adaptive to consider changing environmental conditions. Generic fishing management practices (e.g., education of fishers) are limited, while most have to be individually adapted for the environment and fishing culture (e.g., fish protection).

Fishers and fish traders of lake victoria : colonial of fish and the development of fish production in Kenya, 1880-1978

Opondo, Paul Abiero 02 1900 (has links)
The developemnt of fisheries in Lake Victoria is faced with a myriad challenges including overfishing, environmental destruction, disappearance of certain indigenous species and pollution. All these problems can be located within the social, economic and political systems that exists today and in the past. This thesis, ‘Fishers and Fish Traders of Lake Victoria : Colonial Policy and the Development of Fish Production in Kenya, 1880-1978’, argues that the Luo fishers had their own indigenous techniques of fishing, modes of preservation and systems of management that ensured sustainable utilisation of fisheries. The thesis examines the role of the Luo fishers in the sustainable usage of the Lake Victoria fisheries. The British colonial settlers came up with new policies of plantation and commercial farming, taxation and forced labour, all of which encouraged the Luo fishers to partially break with their pre-colonial systems and create new ways of responding to the demands of the colonial state. The study argues that the coming of colonialism and its attendant capitalism introduced new fishing gear as well as new species, such as mbuta, that were inimical to the sustainable utilisation of the Lake Victoria fisheries. The colonial regime also introduced new practices of fisheries management such as scouts, licensing, closed seasons and the numbering of boats, practices geared towards ensuring the commercial production and development of the fisheries. This commercialisation led to cut-throat competition between Asian, European and African fish traders. The coming of independence in 1963 brought some changes, such as the provision of credit facilities, new technology, and attempts by the new African government to more effectively control and manage the fisheries. However, not much changed in terms of policy objectives, and most of the colonial policies remained unchanged. New industries were established around the fisheries, but most remained in the hands of Asians and a few African middlemen. The small-scale fishers continued to struggle against the commercialisation of fishery production, remaining voiceless and marginalised. The study recommends an all inclusive participatory approach to solve the problems currently affecting the Lake Victoria fisheries. / History / DLITT (History)
