“…Based on a review of Brazilian legislation, Bressane et al (2016) found that environmental protection is widely regulated, and represents one of the main public policy strategies adopted in the country. Despite this, the effectiveness of legal rules applied to land-use control depends on their compliance, especially in areas with high population density, as the metropolitan regions.…”

“…Considering the advance in Brazilian legal framework, pointed out by these authors (Bressane et al, 2016), the present study aims to verify whether land-use has still significantly affected water quality, through a case study at metropolitan region of southeastern Brazil. In this sense, the results of the present study were discussed in comparison with the findings from the studies carried out in the same region about 10 15 years ago (Bhutiani and Khanna, 2007;Etto et al, 2013;Göransson et al, 2013;Göransson et al, 2013;Kemerich et al, 2013;Longo et al, 2012;Longo et al, 2013;Souza and Gastaldini, 2014).…”

The suppression of natural spaces due to the urban sprawl and increase of the built and agricultural environments has impacted the water resources quality, especially in areas with high population density, as the metropolitan regions. Considering the advance in Brazilian environmental legal framework, the present study aims to verify whether land use has still significantly affected water quality, through a case study in the Stones River watershed, a peri-urban river basin at a metropolitan region, Brazil. Analysis of physical-chemical indicators, collected at several sample points with different land-use (urban areas, commercial forestry, riparian forestry, mixed vegetation, pasture, and sugar cane plantation) at different seasons of the year (dry and rainy) were carried out. As a result, it was verified some statistically significant spatiotemporal effects on the of water quality caused associated to the land-use. In conclusion, in spite of the advances in the Brazilian law, land-use has still significantly affected the water quality, demanding public policies and decisions, so that effective compliance with legal guidelines is ensured.

Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior, a meaningful connection between an organization and its consumers can be established, transcending mere appearances and delving into emotions, relationships, and brand experiences. In line with these principles, this study aims to present an empirical model grounded in factual evidence derived from the perspectives of entrepreneurs and consumers of environmentally sustainable brands in the Brazilian Amazon. The proposed model adopts a mixed-modeling approach, utilizing data analysis techniques such as fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Two independent data sets were collected: one from 8 companies operating in the Amazon rainforest and another from 535 potential consumers. By analyzing these datasets, consumer motivations for the consumption of sustainable brands, entrepreneurial practices, and the role of traditional communities and the forest environment in shaping brand perceptions were identified. The results reveal that, from the consumer’s perspective, the key factors influencing a positive inclination to purchase sustainable brands include the brand’s engagement with traditional com munities, perceived product quality, brand innovation, and a transparently communicated positioning strategy. These constructs form the core components of the main solution. This article provides valuable information for entrepreneurs operating sustainable brands in tropical forests as well as for policymakers in community-based entrepreneurship. It is also of interest to researchers and individuals involved in brand management as a strategy for empowering small businesses engaged in sustainable practices and community collaboration. The study’s findings and recommendations have the potential to foster more sustainable and socially responsible business practices, thereby enhancing local economies and contributing to environmental preservation.

Using the theory of planned behavior, it is possible to establish a valuable connection between an organization and its consumers, which goes beyond appearance and involves emotions, relationships, and experiences with the brand. Based on these principles, the objective of this work was to present an empirical model guided by empirical evidence from the perception of entrepreneurs and consumers of brands related to environmental sustainability in the Brazilian Amazon. The proposed model uses mixed modeling, based on data analysis based on fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), using two sets of data from independent research obtained from 8 companies operating in the Amazon rainforest and 535 potential consumers. Based on the observed data, the consumers' motivations for consumption, the practices adopted by entrepreneurs, and the role of traditional communities and the forest environment in the brand's conception were identified. The results show that for the interest in purchasing sustainable brands to be positive, from the perception of consumers, the brand must explore information regarding involvement with traditional communities, perception of brand quality, and brand innovation, also making clear the positioning strategy adopted since the constructs are central to the main solution. This article presents relevant information for entrepreneurs of sustainable brands in tropical forests, business policymakers in community-based entrepreneurship, researchers, and those interested in brand management as a strategy to boost small businesses with sustainable practices and involvement with traditional communities. The study's findings and recommendations can promote more sustainable and socially responsible business practices, strengthening the local economy and contributing to environmental preservation.
