O empreendimento Gasoduto Urucu-Coari-Manaus é uma rede de tubulações que conduz o gás natural do Terminal Solimões TESOL do município de Coari até a Refinaria de Manaus REMAN, na cidade de Manaus, Estado do Amazonas. A tubulação do gasoduto ocupa uma extensão de aproximadamente 700 km, atravessando territórios dos sete municípios do Estado do Amazonas: Coari, Codajás, Anori, Anamã, Caapiranga, Manacapuru e Iranduba. A jazida de gás natural da bacia do Solimões/Amazonas sinaliza um elevado potencial de desenvolvimento regional na geração de energia a gás. Seu aproveitamento vem sendo apontado como um marco de referência na economia da Amazônia Ocidental. Em 1998, na mesma faixa de oleoduto de Urucu até o Terminal do Solimões, foi construído o trecho do Gasoduto para Manaus. A construção do gasoduto pode ser um fator de desenvolvimento socioeconômico em uma região de poucas opções principalmente de fontes energéticas. Neste sentido, o estudo do recurso natural (gás) do gasoduto em questão e de seus impactos ambientais e socioeconômicos tornam-se cada vez mais importante, pois contribuem com a pesquisa nessa área e poderão ser observados os resultados destes, especialmente, na cidade de Manacapuru-AM. Este trabalho demonstra a importância dos questionamentos a cerca da exploração dos recursos naturais, desenvolvimento econômico, social e preservação do meio ambiente. Assim, em ciência geográfica pode-se afirmar que a temática Recurso Natural, exige uma abordagem que considera aspectos sociais e naturais. Por um lado, o recurso é algo ao qual se recorre, portanto é histórico, por outro, é natural e exige o conhecimento da dinâmica da natureza para se compreender sua ocorrência e distribuição na superfície ou crosta terrestre. Este trabalho desenvolveu-se in loco verificando a relevância da implantação do Gasoduto Urucu-Coari-Manaus analisando os aspectos sociais e econômicos no referido município. / The project Urucu-Coari-Manaus pipeline network is a leading natural gas Solimões Terminal - TESOL in the city of Coari to Manaus Refinery - REMAN in the city of Manaus, in Amazonas state. The pipe of the pipeline occupies an area of approximately 700 km across the territories of the seven counties of the State of Amazonas Coari Codajás, Anori, Anamã, Caapiranga, Manacapuru and Iranduba. With this natural gas field in the basin of the Solimões / Amazonas, signals to a high potential for regional development in power generation gas. Its use has been appointed as a benchmark in the economy of the Western Amazon. In 1998, in the same range of pipeline Urucu to the Solimões Terminal, was built the section of pipeline to Manaus. The construction of the pipeline may be a factor of socio-economic development in a region with few options especially for energy sources. In this sense, the study of natural resource (gas) pipeline in question and its environmental and socioeconomic impacts becomes increasingly important as it contributes to research in this area and may be seen the results of environmental and socioeconomic impacts, especially in the city of Manacapuru-AM. This research demonstrates the importance of natural resources in the questioning of economic development with environmental preservation. Thus, in geographical science can say that the theme \"Natural Resource\", requires an approach that considers the social and natural. On the one hand, the feature is something to which it refers, so it is historical, the other is natural and requires knowledge of the dynamics of nature to understand their occurrence and distribution on the surface or crust. This research has developed on-site checking the relevance of deployment of the Urucu-Coari-Manaus analyzing the social and economic aspects in that municipality.

Magister Scientiae - MSc (Environ & Water Science) / The upper Olifants River catchment, situated in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, is one of the main sources of water for this region. This region face challenges to guarantee future water security due to intensive land use activities e.g. mining, energy production, and agriculture activities. South Africa is the sixth largest producers of coal in the world and the Witbank (eMalahleni) coal fields, situated in the catchment, represents the largest conterminous area of active coal mining in South Africa. The second largest irrigation scheme (Loskop dam Irrigation Board) is also found below the Loskop Dam in the upper Olifants River catchment. The irrigation scheme of + - 480 km of irrigation channels provides water for a R1 Billion export industry of citric fruits to the European Union. Furthermore, the Olifants River in Mpumalanga is also a trans-boundary river that initially flows northwards before curving in an easterly direction through the Kruger National Park and into Mozambique where it joins the Limpopo River before discharging into the Indian Ocean. Although the Olifants River is one of the main river systems in South Africa, it has been described as one of the most polluted rivers in southern Africa, with Loskop Dam acting as a repository for pollutants from the upper catchment of the Olifants River system. Because Loskop Dam is of strategic important for the whole region the aim of the study was to show the implications of poor water quality on the local communities down stream of Loskop Dam that depend on water usage for their livelihood. (1) Developing a modified pollution index for the Loskop Dam, Mpumalanga Province using bioindicator algae species in relationship with water column physico-chemical parameters and national water guidelines as indication of pollution. (2) Analysing the threat of cyanobacteria, microsystin contaminations to crops irrigating by water from the Loskop Dam irrigation canals. (3) Discussing the social economic implication of water pollution on the Loskop Irrigation scheme and its stakeholders.

Socioeconomic study is a procedure that ensures that the likely positive and negative impact of a new project on the socioeconomic life of a community is taken into account. It has become a crucial part of sustainable development process. The understanding of socioeconomic study procedures is an increasing necessity for all those involved in the process. Similarly, proper knowledge of the function of socioeconomic study during the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process is of paramount importance for the mitigation of the likely effects of the new development. Furthermore, as the world is gradually growing into a global village, it has become increasingly imperative that organizations integrate the people in their operations' areas in the overall objective of their businesses. Community engagement (CE) is a partnership process that can be used to assess and manage the problem affecting the well-being of a community because of a new development. This research work used the SWOT matrix technique to develop a management framework that companies can use to manage their weaknesses and threats because of inadequate community engagement strategy. To achieve this, the work evaluated the extent to which socioeconomic study is integrated into the EIA processes. It also assessed the extent to which oil companies are using community engagement as a development strategy. The findings of this dissertation revealed that oil explorations in the Niger Delta area have affected the well-being of the people both positively and negatively. Unfortunately, their negative impact outweighed their positive impact. Although they carry out socioeconomic studies, they have been neglecting the recommendations reported in the socioeconomic study document by experts. The level of community engagements therefore has also been very poor. SWOT matrix technique was used to develop the management framework for each company based on the perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the companies as revealed in this research. This should serve as a guide for the companies in their CE strategies. / Thesis (M.Ing. (Development and Management Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

Through field research and institutional evaluation, we sought to compare the results obtained in an evaluation process in the academic community and local, interpreting the reality of small IES-private, located in the interior of Goiás, FAIT (Alliance School), there are 07 (seven) years operates in the field of higher education, as PMIES, with an approximate capacity of 300 students enrolled. This paper compares the standards and guidelines of the National Assessment of Higher Education Institutions System - SINAES / CONAES, from the data collected and analysis by research conducted by ABMES, between the years 2013-2014, and by analysis of research authors like Ristoff and Sobrinho. The analysis began with the lifting of qualitative comparative profile, matching the CPA's (committee for assessment) internal and external of the same HEI (2013), as well as bibliographic data and documentaries, which provided the mapping references and the reality of small private institution in the city of Itaberaí. Then made up his own field research HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) in 2014, through a detailed, organized that provided the search suggestions, projects as alternative to improve the competitiveness of private small IES and midsize, research object. And, based on field research, completed the CPA (internal) in March and April 2013, analyzed the reality of small HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) and the observation of its influence in the IDH (Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano) (Index Human Development) site. The field research addressed together: the questionnaire, application of complementary interviews by CATI methodology (by telephone) and individually, the representatives of the local community, students and alumni of FAIT (Alliance College); already Institutional Evaluation was carried out by the online system through Web Survey, students and employees FAIT (Alliance College). At first, we tried to understand the reality and the assessment of the scenario of Brazilian higher education in relation to research and the actual phase is the establishment of the small college, in the city and region, higher education institution located in the Central region west Goiano. The results achieved in small IES-FAIT, when comparing to research presented by ABMEIS (2013) suggest greater care and support the permanence of small private HEIs in the municipalities, which are installed in view of the importance of these in the IDH (Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano) (Index Human development), despite the financial difficulties they face. For it is clear the influence of PMIES (Small and Medium Higher Education Institution) to local and regional development, with a tendency to increase per capita income and economic of each region, where they are installed. / O estudo tem como propósito investigar quesitos que dificultam o crescimento das pequenas IES (Instituições de Ensino Superior). Através de uma pesquisa de campo e avaliação institucional, buscamos comparar os resultados apurados em um processo avaliativo junto à comunidade acadêmica e local, interpretando a realidade da pequena IES-privada, situada no interior de Goiás, FAIT (Faculdade Aliança), que há 07 (sete) anos atua no ramo do Ensino Superior, como PMIES, com capacidade aproximada para 300 alunos matriculados. O presente trabalho compara as normas e diretrizes do Sistema Nacional de Avaliação das Instituições de Ensino Superior – SINAES/CONAES, a partir dos dados e análises levantados, por pesquisa realizada pela ABMES, entre os anos de 2013-2014, e mediante análise das pesquisas de autores como Ristoff e Sobrinho. A análise iniciou com o levantamento do perfil comparativo qualitativa, combinando com a CPA´s (Comissão Própria de Avaliação) interna e externa da mesma IES (2013), assim como de dados bibliográficos e documentários, que proporcionaram o mapeamento e referências da realidade da pequena IES privada, no município de Itaberaí. Em seguida fez-se a pesquisa de campo da própria IES (Instituições de Ensino Superior), em 2014, através de uma análise detalhada, organizada que proporcionou a busca de sugestões, projetos como alternativos para a melhoria da competitividade da IES privada de pequeno e médio porte, objeto de pesquisa. E, com base na pesquisa de campo, completada com a CPA (interna), em março e abril de 2013, analisou-se a realidade da pequena IES (Instituições de Ensino Superior), bem como a observação de sua influência no IDH (Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano) local. A pesquisa de campo abordou em conjunto: à aplicação de questionário, aplicação de entrevistas complementares por meio da metodologia CATI (por telefone) e individualmente, a representantes da comunidade local, alunos e ex-alunos da FAIT (Faculdade Aliança); já a Avaliação Institucional foi realizada pelo sistema on-line, através de Web Survey, aos alunos e funcionários da FAIT (Faculdade Aliança). A princípio, buscou-se compreender a realidade e o cenário da avaliação da Educação Superior brasileira no que se refere à pesquisa e a real fase que constitui o estabelecimento da pequena Faculdade, no município e região, instituição de ensino superior localizada na região do Centro Oeste-Goiano. Os resultados realizados na pequena IES-FAIT, ao comparar com a pesquisa apresentada pela ABMEIS (2013) sugerem maior cuidado e apoio a permanência das pequenas IES privadas, nos municípios, que estão instaladas, tendo em vista a importância dessas no IDH (Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano), mesmo diante das dificuldades financeiras que enfrentam. Pois, é nítida a influência das PMIES (Pequena e Média Instituição de Ensino Superior) ao desenvolvimento local e regional, com tendência a aumentar a renda per capita e econômica de cada região, a onde estão instaladas.
