“…The results from this study agree with the literature 5,17 with regard to the effects of particulate matter on hospitalization rates. Haller et al 10 argued that a frontier like the Amazon region entails the existence of a sparsely inhabited geographical area, equipped with weak and fragmented institutions. It is likely that accelerated occupation of frontier regions imposes demands on the health services that are diffi cult to meet.…”

“…In the Brazilian Amazon region, the resident population is exposed to air pollution for a short period of time, compared with the population of urban or industrial areas. Nevertheless, it has to be borne in mind that PM 2.5 from biomass smoke can represent 60% of the PM 10 . 9 Some municipalities monitored by the LBA Millennium Institute network in the Amazon region showed frequently measurements of PM 2.5 above 240 μg/m 3 during the study period.…”

“…Consequently, it can be assumed that exposure to the smoke from biomass burning probably produces intensities of effects that differ from exposure to urban air pollution. 15 In fact, values as high as 400 μg/m³ of PM 10 have been reported in some areas of the Amazon region during the dry season. 3,4 The Amazon region encompasses an area of about 5 million km 2 with an estimated population of 24 million inhabitants, distributed among more than 805 municipalities, which make up a total of 107 microregions.…”

Impact on human health of particulate matter emitted from burnings in the Brazilian Amazon regionImpactos na saúde humana de partículas emitidas por queimadas na Amazônia brasileira ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To analyze the impact on human health of exposure to particulate matter emitted from burnings in the Brazilian Amazon region. METHODS:This was an ecological study using an environmental exposure indicator presented as the percentage of annual hours (AH%) of PM 2.5 above 80 μg/m 3 . The outcome variables were the rates of hospitalization due to respiratory disease among children, the elderly and the intermediate age group, and due to childbirth. Data were obtained from the National Space Research Institute and the Ministry of Health for all of the microregions of the Brazilian Amazon region, for the years 2004 and 2005. Multiple regression models for the outcome variables in relation to the predictive variable AH% of PM 2.5 above 80 μg/m 3 were analyzed. The Human Development Index (HDI) and mean number of complete blood counts per 100 inhabitants in the Brazilian Amazon region were the control variables in the regression analyses. RESULTS:The association of the exposure indicator (AH%) was higher for the elderly than for other age groups (β = 0.10). For each 1% increase in the exposure indicator there was an increase of 8% in child hospitalization, 10% in hospitalization of the elderly, and 5% for the intermediate age group, even after controlling for HDI and mean number of complete blood counts. No association was found between the AH% and hospitalization due to childbirth. CONCLUSIONS:The indicator of atmospheric pollution showed an association with occurrences of respiratory diseases in the Brazilian Amazon region, especially in the more vulnerable age groups. This indicator may be used to assess the effects of forest burning on human health.

“…Com isso, vários entrevistados relataram que houve um aumento, nos últimos cinco anos, do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e da gravidez na adolescência na comunidade, tidos pelos moradores como graves problemas sociais. A incidência desses problemas sociais revela, na análise do subsistema social de lazer, que situações de anomia social, típicas de fronteira (HALLER et al, 2000), parecem estar ocorrendo nas comunidades mais próximas dos empreendimentos florestais madeireiros.…”

“…Nessa direção, o estudo corroborou evidências empíricas de situações típicas de fronteiras, nas quais não parece haver incompatibilidade entre a melhoria dos níveis de desenvolvimento socioeconômico da população e a existência de rupturas sociais resultantes de problemas sociais comunitários, como roubos, prostituição e aumento no consumo de drogas, casos típicos de anomia social (HALLER et al, 2000). Todavia, cabe refletir: seria esse o modelo de desenvolvimento local sustentável almejado?…”

O presente artigo aborda a dinâmica socioambiental recente (2008/2014) dos sistemas sociais das comunidades ribeirinhas localizadas em um vasto território da fronteira aberta ao longo do Rio Arapiuns, no oeste do estado do Pará. Trata-se de um território densamente florestal que tem sido alvo, desde 2010, da política do governo do estado do Pará de fazer concessões de florestas públicas para a iniciativa privada, como parte da política florestal brasileira (Lei nº 11.284/2006). A pesquisa com as comunidades foi feita por meio da aplicação de questionários semiestruturados com a população dessas localidades. Como principais resultados, o estudo evidenciou que as dinâmicas socioambientais das comunidades ribeirinhas foram fortemente alteradas desde o início das atividades de concessão florestal na região.

A new, territorial focus, replacing the regionalization of the past. emerged in state planning in Brazil between 1950planning in Brazil between and 1970planning in Brazil between and again between 1995planning in Brazil between and 2010 From the traditional conception of the region predominant throughout the twentieth century, a shift occurred in public policy making to application of the notion of differentiated territories, with two dominant perspectives: one based on the economic potentials of territories, under the Fernando Henrique Cardoso government, and the other, under the Lula government, based on the concept of socially vulnerable territories. The causes of this change have to do with the reduction of the importance of regional inequality in favor of social inequality, with the risk of separatism being replaced by the loss of social cohesion. The new territorial focus in government planning seemed to point to a loss of power of regional oligarchies, but this practice was interrupted for political reasons in 2007.
