Na gestão da água, o planejamento é o processo que busca definir as melhores alternativas de utilização dos recursos, orientando a tomada de decisão no alcance dos melhores resultados ambientais, sociais e econômicos Assim, o Plano de Bacia Hidrográfica (PBH), que desempenha o papel de planejamento, adquire relevância crescente em função da escassez dos recursos hídricos. Entretanto, no contexto brasileiro, uma série de condições têm limitado a efetiva implementação e adoção desses planos por parte dos diversos atores e setores usuários. Por outro lado, é cada vez mais frequente em âmbito internacional a utilização da Avaliação Ambiental Estratégica (AAE) no processo de formulação de PBHs, com ênfase no papel que a AAE pode desempenhar na coordenação e integração entre os diferentes níveis de planejamento. Assim, por meio de revisão em literatura específica e análise documental de relatórios de AAEs desenvolvidas no contexto francês de planejamento e gestão de recursos hídricos, foram avaliadas as potenciais contribuições da AAE para os PBHs do Brasil. Os resultados obtidos indicam que, se utilizadas abordagens participativas, ajustadas à estrutura político-institucional existente, sem, contudo, negligenciar os procedimentos básicos que fundamentam esse instrumento de Avaliação Ambiental, a AAE pode agregar valor a todas as etapas do processo de elaboração de PBHs que, desta forma, terão seus resultados ampliados no sentido da efetiva Gestão Integrada dos Recursos Hídricos. / In water management, planning is the process that seeks to define the best alternatives use resources, guide decision-making in order to produce the best economic, social and environmental results. Therefore becomes relevant the role to be played by River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs), one of the instruments of the National Water Resources Policy (Law 9.433/1997). However, in the current context of water management of Brazil, these plans have run into a number of conditions that limit the results, imposing difficulties to the effective implementation and adoption of these plans by the various actors and user sectors. On the other hand, it is increasingly common internationally the use of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in RBMPs formulation, with emphasis on the role that SEA can play in the process of coordination and integration between the different levels of planning. Thus, through a review of the literature and document analysis of SEA reports, developed in the French context of planning and management of water resources, were evaluated the potentials SEA\'s contributions for RBMPs in Brazil. The results indicated that if used participatory approaches, adjusted to the existing political and institutional framework, without, however, neglecting the basic procedures underlying the instrument, SEA has potential contributions verified in all stages of the RBMPs formulation process that in this way, have expanded their results towards the effective Integrated Water Resources Management in the country.

Climate change will pose increasing challenges to forest managers working to achieve sustainable forest management in the boreal forest. A logical starting point for climate change adaptation is to proactively identify management practices and policies that have a higher likelihood of achieving management objectives across a wide range of potential climate futures. This research implemented an approach to identifying such measures by tapping into the experiential knowledge base of local forest practitioners. The assessment was organized according to a structured decision-making (SDM) approach. Northern forest practitioners consider the goals of climate change adaptation to be synonymous with those of sustainable forest management indicating that the criteria for the conservation and sustainable management of boreal forests as defined by the Montréal Process are suitable objectives against which the performance of alternative adaptation options can be assessed. The case study area for this research was the Champagne and Aishihik Traditional Territory of southwest Yukon where a climatically-driven, large-scale spruce bark beetle disturbance has been driving forest management planning yet climate change considerations have not been directly addressed in the planning process. Twenty-four adaptation options were identified as being important to implement in forest development areas to achieve regional goals and objectives of forest management across three scenarios of climate change. In addition, the performance of alternative strategies to re-establish forests was assessed. Results indicate that the applicability of alternative forest renewal adaptation strategies is strongly related to the objectives of forest management which differed across the forest management planning area. However, since none of the strategies were judged to perform highly across any of the scenarios of climate change, additional work is needed to explore whether a threshold of acceptability can be met even with the adoption of adjustments to forest management policies and practices. If not, management objectives themselves may need to be revised. An extensive list of research and monitoring needs were also identified, an indication that climate change is providing the imperative for a more comprehensive research and monitoring program to support the sustainable management of forest resources in this region. The next steps in a SDM approach are to implement adaptation options and strategies deemed appropriate and to monitor their performance in achieving management objectives within an adaptive management context. / Forestry, Faculty of / Graduate

Groundwater accounts for approximately 99% of the available freshwater on Earth, and is an important resource for irrigation, potable water, and domestic use in the United States. However, the overuse of groundwater has led to aquifer depletion in several basins across the USA, resulting in storage reduction, contamination, salt water intrusion, and depletion of surface waters. To properly manage groundwater for the future, there is a need for well-informed Groundwater Management Plans (GWMPs) in order to prevent further depletion and erosion of the resource. Previous studies have focused on groundwater management relative to groundwater laws, regulations, and institutional arrangements. This study analyzed GWMPs to better understand how allowable yields are set, how interconnected groundwater conditions are addressed, and how groundwater systems are managed when information on the system is lacking through planning. The findings of this study delineate how groundwater management goals are set across the United States and provides recommendations to inform future GWMPs.

Os mapeamentos de dados de inventário nos Planos de Manejo de Unidades de Conservação consistem em uma das atividades mais importantes da elaboração destes documentos, pois deles derivam as análises de diagnóstico e as decisões que são tomadas para a gestão dessas áreas de relevante interesse ambiental para a sociedade. Desse modo, o uso de dados adequados e a escolha de opções técnicas mais eficientes são fundamentais para proporcionar a obtenção de melhores resultados nesses levantamentos, assim como a execução de procedimentos de aferição e validação dos resultados obtidos, independentemente dos métodos e técnicas envolvidos no processo de levantamento, são fundamentais para garantir a sua confiabilidade durante a realização das análises e das tomadas de decisão. Nessa perspectiva, portanto, esta pesquisa se propôs a avaliar se as opções técnicas mais eficientes de geoprocessamento atualmente disponíveis, conforme evidenciadas pela revisão integrativa da literatura, vêm sendo oportunamente e adequadamente aproveitadas nos Planos de Manejo que vêm sendo produzidos para Unidades de Conservação paulistas, contribuindo não apenas para alertar os órgãos gestores destas Unidades de Conservação sob um possível subaproveitamento dessas técnicas, como também para indicar alternativas que possam ser levadas em consideração durante a elaboração de Planos de Manejo futuros. / The inventory data mappings in Protected Areas Management Plans consist of one of the most important activities of these papers because from them derive the diagnostic analyzes and decisions that are taken to the management of these areas of relevant environmental interest to the society.

A fim de verificar o nível de comprometimento dos municípios paulistas com a GIRS, foi elaborada uma metodologia que se baseou na formulação de indicadores a serem pontuados a partir do diagnóstico da situação de 17 municípios amostrados. Primeiro, estudou-se todos os 645 municípios do Estado de São Paulo e sua relação com a elaboração dos Planos Municipais de Gestão Integrada de Resíduos Sólidos (PMGIRS), onde, através da aplicação de métodos estatísticos básicos como cálculo de médias e proporções, percebeu-se que os municípios que possuíam PMGIRS apresentam maiores valores médios nos indicadores que demostram seu maior desenvolvimento do que os que não possuíam PMGIRS e que a incidência de PMGIRS aumenta com a faixa populacional. Em seguida, procedeu-se com o cálculo da amostra dos municípios com PMGIRS, estratificados por faixa populacional, que seriam analisados descritivamente a partir de dados contidos, principalmente, em seus PMGIRS e no Sistema Nacional de Informações de Saneamento (SNIS). Assim, como segundo resultado, obteve-se um perfil da diversidade da GIRS no Estado de São Paulo. Para enfim avaliar o comprometimento com a GIRS dos 17 municípios amostrados, foi elaborada uma metodologia, onde selecionou-se uma gama de indicadores, baseados nos componentes físicos e governamentais essenciais para um sistema de GIRS de sucesso. Como resultado verificou-se que os municípios não estão realmente comprometidos com a GIRS e que apresentam, em média, comprometimento médio-baixo com a GIRS. / The Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a challenge for the local governments, demanding a high commitment of local authorities to its good performance. To identify the level of commitment of the municipalities of the São Paulo State with the ISWM, a methodology was elaborated based on the formulation of indicators to be punctuated from the diagnosis of the situation of 17 cities sampled. First, all the 645 municipalities of the State of São Paulo and their relationship with the elaboration of the Waste Management Plans (WMP) were studied, where, through the application of basic statistical methods such as calculation of means and proportions, Municipalities with WMP showed have higher mean values in the indicators that indicate their greater development than those that did not have WMP and that the incidence of WMP increases with the population range. Then, the sample of the municipalities with WMP, which was stratified by population range, were analyzed descriptively from data contained mainly in their WMP and the National Sanitation Information System (NSIS). Therefore, as a second result, a profile of the diversity of ISWM in the State of São Paulo was obtained. Finally, to evaluate the commitment to the ISWM of the 17 municipalities sampled, a methodology was elaborated, where a range of indicators was selected, based on the physical and governmental components essential for a successful ISWM system. As a result, it was verified that the municipalities are not really committed to the ISWM and that on average they present medium-low commitment with the ISWM.

In this sense, it is important to know the local, regional and national reality, for analysis of the management of the Waste of Civil Construction (RCC), checking the positive and negative aspects, allowing to contribute to the formulation of public policies, which to assess these aspects. In this sense, this research is justified, which has as central objectives, to analyze the state of the art of the management of the waste of civil construction in the state of Paraná and in the municipality of Cascavel-PR, in order to contribute with the scientific community to knowledge of the current reality, in addition to identifying the relevant legislation and the management processes, with the future aim of subsidizing actions and strategic planning, which aims at the sustainability of the civil construction sector, with regard to the aspects social, environmental and economic. For the scope of the proposed objectives, descriptive methodology was used, through bibliographical research and data collection, in addition to the mixed method, which consists in the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, the results evaluated in a way Integrated. The results showed that within the state of Paraná, 60% of municipalities present specific legislation for the implementation of the Waste Management Plans of Civil Construction (PGRCC), and that 92.6% of the localities still earmarked the RCC to landfills With the rest of the municipal waste, or disposal in improper locations. In the municipality of Cascavel-PR, the surveys in the construction sites pointed out some negative aspects in the management of the RCC, such as the lack of training of the employees responsible for the works, irregular disposal of the RCC, as well as absence of supervision of the competent bodies for further final approval of the PGRCC. The analysis of the results obtained made it possible to conclude the difficulty of obtaining precise data and that in this sense new studies and diagnostics are fundamental to the knowledge of the reality in its entirety, moreover, in the municipality of Cascavel-PR, it is made the improvement of the management tools of the existing RCD. / O setor da construção civil gera um volume expressivo de resíduos sólidos, de modo geral, tais resíduos nem sempre possuem uma gestão adequada, sendo depositados em locais indevidos, e consequentemente comprometendo a qualidade do ambiente. Nesse sentido, é importante o conhecimento da realidade local, regional e nacional, para análise da gestão dos Resíduos da Construção Civil (RCC), verificando os aspectos positivos e negativos, permitindo contribuir para a formulação de políticas públicas, que visem avaliar tais aspectos. Nesse sentido, justifica-se a presente pesquisa, que tem como objetivos centrais, analisar o estado da arte da Gestão dos Resíduos da Construção Civil no Estado do Paraná e no município de Cascavel-PR, a fim de contribuir com a comunidade científica para conhecimento da realidade atual, além de identificar a legislação pertinente e os processos de gestão, com o intuito futuro de subsidiar ações e um planejamento estratégico, que vise à sustentabilidade do setor da construção civil, no que se refere aos aspectos sociais, ambientais e econômicos. Para o alcance dos objetivos propostos utilizou-se a metodologia descritiva, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e coleta de dados, além do método misto, que consiste na coleta e análise de dados qualitativos e quantitativos, sendo os resultados avaliados de forma integrada. Os resultados mostraram que no âmbito do Estado do Paraná, 60% dos municípios apresentam legislação específica à implantação dos Planos de Gerenciamento dos Resíduos da Construção Civil (PGRCC), e que 92,6% das localidades ainda destinam os RCC aos aterros sanitários, juntamente com os demais resíduos urbanos, ou realizam o descarte em locais impróprios. No município de Cascavel-PR, as vistorias nos canteiros de obras apontaram alguns aspectos negativos na gestão dos RCC, como por exemplo, falta de treinamento dos funcionários responsáveis pelas obras, descarte irregular dos RCC, bem como ausência de fiscalização dos órgãos competentes para posterior aprovação final do PGRCC. A análise dos resultados obtidos permitiu concluir a dificuldade de obtenção de dados precisos e que nesse sentido novos estudos e diagnósticos são fundamentais para conhecimento da realidade em sua totalidade, além disso, no município de Cascavel-PR, faz-se necessário o aperfeiçoamento dos instrumentos de gestão dos RCD vigentes.

The balanced scorecard (BSC) is an accepted methodology for putting strategy into action. The BSC provides a comprehensive performance measurement for an organization with respect to both financial and non-financial perspectives, including the triple bottom line of planet, people, and profit. Through various implementations to companies, organizations, and sectors, balanced scorecards have been used widely both for strategic purposes, as well as for more tactical focus for auditing current performance. BSC implementation is particularly adequate when integrated with the operational processes of the organization. The integration between the strategic plan and the financial and operational plans proceed via the business process model that covers the operational processes associated with the objectives of the organization in the strategy map. In this way, BSC is a tool for real-time monitoring of performance as well as providing the crucial linkage to the organization’s strategy that enables the proper implementation of the organization’s strategy. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied for measuring the efficiency of a specific decision-making unit (DMU) against a projected point on an efficiency frontier. DEA is therefore particularly suitable for measuring the organizational efficiency based on the BSC indicators, which are defined as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In the commercial fisheries sector, sustainable strategy of fisheries organizations can be gained by running the current operations more effectively, and by integrating processes enabling adaptation to change. The efficiency frontier of the DEA model can be used to calculate the efficiency of fisheries operations. The proposed research is undertaken as part of the Canadian Fisheries Research Network (CFRN) to investigate the application of BSC and DEA for defining commercial fisheries performance evaluation variables with respect to the objectives of environmental sustainability, economic viability, and social and cultural stability in compliance with, and in the absence of, performance monitoring alleged in the Fisheries and Oceans, Canada Integrated Fisheries Management Plans (IFMP). The combination of BSC-DEA methodologies is developed in this research as a required performance monitoring system suitable for IFMPs for analyzing the relative efficiency of commercial fisheries case studies across Canada towards incorporating best sustainable practices in the industry.

A exploração das florestas nativas e das plantações florestais no Brasil tem um imenso potencial. No entanto, na Amazônia, a exploração das florestas nativas tem se dado predominantemente de forma predatória com um enorme desperdício dos recursos madeireiros e não madeireiros. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a cadeia produtiva da madeira de espécie nativa em dois municípios do estado do Pará: Paragominas e Novo Progresso. Métodos: Inicialmente e no decorrer de todo trabalho, foi realizada extensa pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para se conhecer a realidade da exploração madeireira na Amazônia. Foram selecionados dois municípios com pólos madeireiros expressivos para realização do trabalho de campo e aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre a cadeia produtiva: um de exploração mais antiga e outro mais recente, para verificar diferenças no processo. O estudo teve características de exploratório, numa primeira fase, e descritivo, numa segunda etapa, quando se buscou descrever os fenômenos e estabelecer relações. Foram entrevistados representantes de empresas de diferentes tamanhos com enfoque na cadeia produtiva da madeira (extração, processamento primário e beneficiamento). Muitos entrevistados atuavam nas três atividades, mas a grande maioria apenas nas duas últimas. Resultados: A maior parte das empresas pesquisadas não detém plano de manejo florestal próprio, o que as torna vulneráveis em relação ao suprimento de madeira. Essa situação também não é um fator de estímulo ao manejo florestal sustentável. De modo geral, nos dois municípios, o parque industrial encontrado é antigo e com tecnologia defasada. Investimentos em equipamentos e treinamento têm sido baixos, o que resulta muitas vezes em qualidade insuficiente e produtos com baixo valor agregado. A geração de resíduos de madeira é elevada e sua destinação freqüentemente inadequada. Conclusões: Uma política de agregação de valor aos recursos naturais deveria incluir investimentos relevantes em capacitação e treinamento. A cadeia de base florestal pode desempenhar um papel importante na manutenção da floresta em pé, na geração de empregos e nas exportações da região. Além disso, a indústria de produtos da madeira consome relativamente pouca energia e pode na verdade gerar excedentes, dispensando os custosos investimentos em linhas de transmissão. No desenvolvimento sustentável dessa indústria, a certificação florestal independente pode assumir um papel relevante. / In Brazil, natural and plantation forests have a strong potential development. However in the Brazilian Amazon, natural forests have not been managed in a sustainable fashion leading to a substantial waste of both timber and other forest products. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the native wood production chain in two logging centers in the state of Pará: Paragominas and Novo Progresso. Methods: Before and during the works, there was an extensive bibliographical research to understand how the timber industry operates in the Amazon region. Field research was developed in two distinct logging frontiers: Paragominas, old (occupied for over 30 years) and Novo Progresso (occupied for less than 10 years) to get a more complete picture. Companies of different sizes were interviewed following the production chain approach (extraction, primary processing and finished wood products). Many of the interviewed companies were vertically integrated with operations in the three activities but most of them had operations only in the last two. Results: Most of the interviewed companies did not have their own supplies of round wood, purchasing from third parties becoming vulnerable to shortfalls in others management plans. Generally speaking in the two logging centers equipment is old and technology outdated. Low investments in equipment and training results frequently in insufficient quality and low value products. Wood residues are high and destination often inadequate. Conclusion: Value creation to natural resources should include relevant investments in developing capacity and providing training. The forest supply chain could have an important role in preserving the forest, in generating jobs and in developing exports. Further, the wood industry is energy efficient and actually may generate surpluses avoiding the high investments in transmission lines. In the sustainable development of the wood products industry, the independent forest certification may play a relevant role.
