This research investigates the social and sanitary situation of the Pantanal community located in the city of Belém, Pará. The methodology used sought to identify, in a quantitative and qualitative way, the positive and negative impacts of the macro drainage works of the Tucunduba watershed. Data collection was carried out by means of a semistructured questionnaire with an evaluation character, with the purpose of performing a Socioeconomic and Environmental Regressive Analysis (SEA), making a comparison before and after the beginning of the works. The result shows a social and sanitary improvement of the community, however there are caveats regarding changes in the execution and delays in the works that generated several disorders to the community.
The purpose of this article is to present the results of a Regressive Analysis on Socio-Environmental, Economic and Cultural "SEA" aspects of the remaining quilombo community of Sucurijuquara in the Mosqueiro District, Belém / Pa. For this study, qualitative and quantitative approaches were used, based on the application of semi-structured interviews, photographic records, software application (SEA) for the survey and analysis of data collected from study sites. The results point to the problem of establishing the processes of organization and empowerment in the social, economic, environmental, cultural and land aspects that are fundamental for the quilombola community. It is concluded that the land regularization is paramount, since they would grant rights with the possession of title of land, improvements in education, basic sanitation, health and housing in these spaces away from the central regions of the Metropolitan Region of the Paraense Amazon.
The organic production of produce in Brazil has been increasing very year due higher demand for more health food, and many farmers are migrating to these concept of food production. Therefore, the aim of this study is to understand the philosophic concept, as well as doing a description and analyzing the implications of the production system of organic orange. The research was done at Sítio SOS Agroecológico, localized in the city of CapitãoPoço, northeast of Pará. The qualitative exploratory research was done with the owner of the area, who is also a producer of organic orange, through, mainly, visits, semi structured surveys, transect walks in the area, and photographic records. The production of the site is considered adequate; their main market are organic fairs and big supermarkets; however, price and logistic are the main obstacles, besides the certification, where in Brazil is still an onerous process. The production system of Sitio SOS shows certain similarities with the concept of biologic and natural agriculture since both systems goals are the reduction of the rural producer costs, the use of alternative products and/or natural available on the property.
At the moment the Brazilian Amazon development, especially in the areas of the Northeast of Pará (NE/PA) and Metropolitan Region of Belém (RMB), demands public policies that provide attractive economic means in environmentally sustainable systems for rural societies. Thus, the objective is to make a descriptive analysis to subsidize the adaptation of a program of public policy for technical assistance and Environmental Services Provision (PSA), called the Socio-environmental Rural Family Production Program (PROAMBIENTE). In order to reach this intervention, it will be necessary to comply with a number of steps, which are mainly related to the elaboration of the Development Plan (PD), the Socio-Environmental Certification Standards (PCSA), Individual Diagnosis (DI) and Utilization Plan (PU) and the construction of Community Agreements (AC). In order to do so, future studies on the implementation of the program and its implications through the variables that will be generated will be essential, verifying those that are most influential in land use and landscape change, identifying the variables of change, in order to generate information capable of qualifying the application of integrative policies in NE / PA and RMB.
