“…The spatial binary weight matrix (SBWM) was formed using GeoDa software (Version 1.16.0.12). We constructed our SBWM with the Rook criterion using the conventional method, holding that the weight is defined as 1 when two areas share a boundary but is valued at 0 otherwise ( 16 , 17 ). However, Hainan Province has no common boundary with any other provinces because of its special geographical location.…”

ObjectiveWith the demand for rehabilitation has been increasing faster for the aging of China's population, the equity of rehabilitation resource has aroused great concern. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution and evolution of the human resources of rehabilitation institutions and propose targeted countermeasures and suggestions to promote optimal allocation.MethodsA total of 31 provinces in China Mainland were identified and geocoded. The spatial weight matrix was introduced to analyze the spatial correlation. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and tests were used to analyze the spatial distribution and evolution characteristics of rehabilitation institutions' human resources in China from 2016 to 2019.ResultsThe average density of rehabilitation staff from 2016 to 2019 has been rising yearly (From 1.60 to 1.88). From 2018 to 2019, the proportion of rehabilitation professionals was higher than 75% in only 5 provinces, and no provinces met 75% from 2016 to 2017. Global Moran's I index from 2016 to 2019 showed no apparent aggregation phenomenon in the allocation of management personnel resources (P > 0.05). Three provinces in western China belonged to the Low-Low area and a province in northeastern China fitted to the Low–High area, with statistically significant differences. In addition, the changes in the spatial distribution and evolution trend of the human resources of rehabilitation institutions in different periods were affected by health policies.ConclusionsAlthough the overall spatial distribution gap of human resource allocation of rehabilitation institutions is shrinking, there are still internal structural defects and a maldistribution at the provincial level. It is necessary to improve the overall number of staff in rehabilitation institutions and to ameliorate the proportion of different types of staffing.

“…A atenção mundial está voltada à preservação das florestas tropicais húmidas, devido às grandes reservas de madeira e de carbono. As regiões semiáridas e áridas se destacam pela densidade populacional e consequente intensidade do uso dos recursos florestais (MELO, 2004;MARTINS;SILVA, 2018).…”

Avaliação do uso do solo e dos recursos florestais no semiárido do estado da Paraíba

et al. 2020

Avaliou-se o uso do solo e dos recursos florestais do bioma Caatinga no estado da Paraíba, de 1996 a 2018. Foram levantados dados da cobertura vegetal e das características dos recursos florestais e o seu potencial produtivo para a lenha e o carvão vegetal. As informações empregadas para caracterização do uso do solo e dos recursos florestais da Paraíba foram obtidas do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), do Ministério do Meio Ambiente (MMA) e da Associação Plantas do Nordeste (APNE). A pesquisa foi exploratória e os resultados apontam a existência de uma degradação contínua da cobertura vegetal, porém os tipos de uso do solo se modificaram ao longo dos anos estudados. Observou-se uma alteração no uso das terras da Paraíba com uma ampliação das áreas de matas/florestas e redução das áreas de pastagem. O carvão vegetal e a lenha foram os principais produtos do extrativismo. A Caatinga paraibana perdeu mais de 46% da sua vegetação, cerca de 2,40 milhões de hectares, mas observou-se o aumento do PMFS via adoção de políticas públicas e conscientização do mercado. As estimativas adotadas da cobertura vegetal e do uso do solo da Paraíba mostraram sensibilidade e elevado grau de risco à desertificação do bioma, necessitando de ações conjuntas permanentes que garantam o uso sustentável da biodiversidade. Concluise que a solução efetiva vem da conscientização e da prática do Plano de Manejo Florestal Sustentado no semiárido paraibano, proporcionando de forma mais eficaz a sustentabilidade do bioma Caatinga.

This paper analyzed the disparity in the gross production value of timber products from the state of Paraíba, Brazil, between 1994 and 2017. The indicators used were: the locational quotient (Lq), the coefficient of location (Cl), the coefficient of redistribution (Cred), the coefficient of geographic association (Cga), the coefficient of specialization (Cs) and the coefficient of restructuring (Cr). The results obtained indicated that wood was the main timber product extracted in the state of Paraíba, with the Sertão paraibano region being of greater relevance, increasing the disparity between the regions; the Cred pointed out greater change for charcoal extraction; the Mata Paraibana region was the most specialized region, especially for wood extraction; and the Borborema region presented the greatest restructuring in all studied periods. The study evidenced that the extraction of wood products mainly occurred in the more arid regions of the state with the purpose of population subsistence or industrial use, especially in the red ceramics and plaster segments for which wood can be used to generate heat and thermoelectric power.
