Повний текст джерелаThe present research is a case study about a university extension group in environmental education of ESALQ-USP called Programa Ponte. The theoretical framework and literature review for this study provides different conceptions of science, environmentalism, education, university extension and university; in addition to the characterization of the educational environment of the institution of higher education in which the Programa Ponte is inserted, ESALQ-USP. The aim of this study is: contribute to the understanding of the university\'s limits and possibilities to support an education directed to the formation of citizens committed to the construction of sustainable societies; to carry out a study on the case of the Programa Ponte, seeking indications that point to the overcoming of the socio-environmental crisis; to relate the global dimension of the socio-environmental crisis and different paradigmatic changes with the local context of the Ponte Program\'s acting. The methodology used was the qualitative study of case study, and the methods of information collection were: documentary analyzes, interviews, and quizz. Participants of the research are people who work or participated in the Programa Ponte, who provided information for both the group\'s description and the relevance of this experience in their professional, academic and personal lives. The results are based on information triangulation obtained in the research, relating to the theoretical study and valuing the insights of the researcher that have emerged throughout the process. In general, it can be noticed that some characteristics that were related to the experience in the Ponte are relevant to provide a university formation consistent with sustainable societies, worth noting: the cultivation of transdisciplinarity, social relevancy, curiosity, power of action, the relation with the work, the praxis, the dialogue, the discipline, the reception, the relation with the student movement and the democracy.

Повний текст джерелаSeveral Institutions are involved with the recovery of the "buffer zones", aimed at contributing to watershed conservation because of the continuing degradation of our environment. In general rural areas populations are taken into account by the Institutions responsible for these works as well as their representatives, but as only as recipient of their ideas and practices, not taking into consideration their own needs and views of the situation. This Master thesis main objective was to work on a case study with the aim to improve watershed management knowledge as well as establish public policies towards the conservation of natural resources. For this purpose a comparative analysis was made with three human social groups of the Campestre creek watershed (Saltinho County, State of Sao Paulo). These three groups were a) the rural land owners, b) technicians and c) scholars who are linked with forest hydrology. The results pointed out that all these groups do known that an environmental degradation of the creek is taking place but always differ according to different concepts about water, watersheds and riparian forests interrelation. These different perceptions establish the distinct practices on the usage of the natural resources. This can be considered one of the causes that prevents an effective dialogue between rural land owners and technicians. This is one of the causes interfering in the very objective of conservation itself. Thus it has been demonstrated that it is important to search for an effective dialogue between all sectors involved, taking into consideration the perception of the communities plus any basic social aspects that may help the technicians to understand the social conservation processes. These need the co-participation of all involved parties in order to effectively construct the desired environmental conservation.

Повний текст джерелаThe central proposal of this work is to elucidate the practice of transferring technology to family farmers carried by the official rural extension system between the years of 1975 and 2008. To take technologies to the rural man, the rural extension has served in several areas providing the insertion of the farmer in "technological packs" of the green revolution, propelling this process, based on an economic rationality, which, despite providing great advances in the growth of agriculture and livestock, it has caused negative impacts to the environment. To know the thoughts of farmers and technicians about the educational practices inserted in the work of rural extension 57 counties were visited, corresponding to a sample of approximately 25% of the total of all counties in the state of Goiás where 268 interviews were conducted with 171 family farmers served by the rural extension and 97 with technicians employees of the rural extension. The research covered the following regions: Southwest, South, Railway, Saint Patricio Vale, Antas River, Plateau, Meia Ponte, Paranã Vale, Araguaia Vale, Mesa Sierra, West, Red River, Paranaiba River and Bois River. Bound to this fieldwork, documental analysis were proceeded based on data from the IBGE Agriculture Census/ 2006, the Goiás State Secretary of Planning-SEPLAN/SEPIN and the reports of activities of EMATER-GO in the period of 1975-2008. Studies lead to the conclusion that the technical assistance service and rural extension needs to be rethought, but it can not finish because according to the technicians and farmers, the small farmer still needs a lot from the extension, since the large and average producer can afford to hire the private services, while the small one has only the extension. Family farmers emphasize that the rural extension is essential for the development of productive activities and the preservation of natural resources on their properties. It also concludes that if the EMATER /RURALAGENCY was the organ that intermediated the introduction of technologies in rural areas, it should also contribute to the construction of a new and necessary rationality in the countryside, that incorporates farmers and technicians to the perspective of sustainable development.
A proposta central deste trabalho consiste em elucidar as práticas de transferência de tecnologia para os produtores familiares, empreendidas pelo sistema oficial de extensão rural entre os anos de 1975 e 2008. Para levar as tecnologias ao homem do campo, a extensão rural atuou em várias áreas proporcionando a inserção do agricultor nos pacotes tecnológicos da revolução verde, propulsora desse processo, baseado numa racionalidade econômica que apesar de proporcionar grandes avanços no crescimento da agricultura e pecuária, causou impactos negativos ao meio ambiente. Para conhecer o pensamento dos agricultores e técnicos sobre as práticas educativas inseridas no trabalho de extensão rural, foram visitados 57 municípios, correspondendo a uma amostra de aproximadamente 25% do total de municípios do estado de Goiás, onde foram realizadas 268 entrevistas, sendo 171 com agricultores familiares atendidos pela extensão rural e 97 com técnicos funcionários da extensão rural. A pesquisa abrangeu as seguintes regiões: Sudoeste, Sul, Estrada de Ferro, Vale do São Patrício, Rio das Antas, Planalto, Meia Ponte, Vale do Paranã, Vale do Araguaia, Serra da Mesa, Oeste, Rio Vermelho, Rio Paranaíba e Rio dos Bois. Vinculado a esse trabalho de campo, procedeu-se à análise documental, baseada nos dados do IBGE- Censo Agropecuário/2006, da Secretaria de Planejamento do estado de Goiás-SEPLAN/SEPIN e nos relatórios de atividades da EMATER-GO, no período de 1975-2008. Os estudos levam à conclusão, que o serviço de assistência técnica e extensão rural precisa ser repensado; mas que este não pode acabar, pois, segundo os técnicos e os agricultores familiares, o pequeno agricultor ainda precisa muito da extensão, posto que o grande e médio produtor têm condições de contratar os serviços particulares, enquanto o pequeno só tem a extensão . Os agricultores familiares enfatizam que a extensão rural é essencial para o desenvolvimento das atividades produtivas e preservação dos recursos naturais existentes nas suas propriedades. Conclui ainda, que, se a EMATER/AGENCIARURAL foi o órgão que intermediou a introdução das tecnologias no meio rural, cabe a ela também contribuir na construção de uma nova e necessária racionalidade no campo, que incorpore agricultores e técnicos na perspectiva de um desenvolvimento sustentável.

Повний текст джерелаThe marine environment is often neglected in environmental discussions due to the apparent detachment between this and our daily lives, having undergone a marked transformation and degradation processes. Based on this, it is evident the need for environmental education activities about this environment. The interactive exhibition Out of Water Diving (OWD) is inserted in this context. The present work aims to contribute to the expansion of knowledge about the concepts of elementary school students about the marine environment, as well as for the evaluation and improvement of the interactive exhibition OWD. The specific objectives are to investigate the initial conceptions and check whether and how the OWD activity influence conceptions of students from a São Paulo school about: (1) the environment, (2) marine environment, its conservation and relation with the daily lives of students. We used structured questionnaires consisting of open and closed questions, before and after OWD exhibition. For data analysis, responses to open questions were subjected to a process of open categorization and categories were compared. Answers from closed questions were directly quantified and compared. Data were collected in classes of seventh, eighth and ninth year of elementary school in a public School of São Paulo city, located near at USP. A total of 476 students participated in the survey. Our results showed that students may have different environment conceptions, applying them depending on various situations which are exposed. For example, as initial conceptions about the environment, the students showed predominantly Naturalist concepts and excluded the man of environment. However, when they think about marine environment, they justify the need for its conservation also based on conceptions Naturalists, but establish relationship between such an environment and their daily based on an anthropocentric concepts, mainly explained by substance use and food derived from the sea. In addition, a small percentage of students (20 %) was able to establish a relation between marine environment and everyday life. The key word associated with this environment was “curiosity”, and when questioned about marine organisms, the chordates were the most frequent cited (whales , fishes and sharks ). Despite the persistence of many of these initial conceptions, we could detect some changes after the exposure OWD, as an increase on inclusion of man as an element of the environment. In addition, Anthropocentric and Problem concepts of environmental were reduced. Regarding conceptions of the marine environment, the absolute percentage of students who were able to establish the relationship of this environment with their everyday life slightly increasing (to 30 %). About the words associated with the marine environment, “ curiosity” increased for students of all years. However, for the youngest students, some negative aspects also increase (pollution, disease and fear). For the ninth year, the situation was different, occurring most citations of positive aspects, such as beauty and fun. For all school years, the citations of animals not chordates (eg. stars and sea urchins), vegetables (seaweed) and plankton were higher and non-marine organisms (eg, tadpoles) were lower cited. Our general perception is that OWD exposure achieved goals more effective for students of ninth year. We base this perception on data such as the increase after exposure of interest by students and increased of the association among marine environment and beauty and fun, as well as curiosity. Thus, this study represented an initial effort to better understanding of environment concepts as well as marine environment concepts. We hope that the data can be subsidy for the evaluation OWD exposition by its creators in a continuous improvement process

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a efetivação da Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande-PB, campi Campina Grande, visando promover o debate da Educação Ambiental nos processos do ensino formal como determina a Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental. A pesquisa pretendeu despertar na comunidade acadêmica a importância e a necessidade da institucionalização da Educação Ambiental na Universidade, cabendo à mesma, desenvolver ações, projetos, metodologias e práticas em todos seus setores e unidades acadêmicas. Neste contexto, e com base no tripé Ensino, Pesquisa e a Extensão, o estudo em um primeiro momento analisou os fluxogramas dos 105 cursos de graduação da instituição. Posteriormente, foram aplicados questionários com discentes, técnicos administrativos e docentes dos cursos de Graduação de Licenciaturas em História, Letras, Pedagogia, Ciências Sociais, Filosofia e Geografia, de Engenharia Agrícola e Enfermagem, que também subsidiaram a identificação do nível de percepção ambiental dos entrevistados. No tocante as atividades de Pesquisa e Extensão foram analisados os projetos desenvolvidos na instituição no período entre 2004 a 2015, bem como o quantitativo das dissertações e teses que abordaram a temática ambiental em seus estudos. Sabe-se que, deste ambiente educacional, sairão profissionais de diversas formações e competências, e, portanto, faz-se necessário a solidificação de conhecimentos e aplicabilidades dos princípios de Educação Ambiental em sua prática profissional cotidiana. Foi identificado que a Lei 9.795, que institui a Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental não está presente nas atividades voltadas para o Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão. Por fim, mesmo com o nível de percepção ambiental dos entrevistados atingindo um índice de 93,69%, sendo este considerado altíssimo, a Instituição carece de uma maior inserção da temática ambiental nas práticas de sua conjuntura. Importante enfatizar que, este estudo permitiu uma visualização panorâmica da realidade da Universidade e ao mesmo tempo, demonstrou a necessidade de um olhar institucional mais acentuado na temática ambiental, possibilitando também, o embasamento e direcionamento de estudos futuros que tenham como base o que é preconizado na PNEA.
This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the National Environmental Education Policy at the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande in Campina Grande campus, aiming to promote the debate of Environmental Education in the processes of formal education as determined by the National Environmental Education Policy. The research aimed to awaken in the academic community the importance and necessity of the institutionalization of Environmental Education in the University, being the same, to develop actions, projects, methodologies and practices in all its sectors and academic units. In this context, and based on the Tripod Teaching, Research and Extension, the study at first analyzed the flowcharts of the 105 undergraduate courses of the institution. Subsequently, questionnaires were applied with students, administrative technicians and teachers of undergraduate courses in History, Literature, Pedagogy, Social Sciences, Philosophy and Geography, Agricultural Engineering and Nursing, which also subsidized the identification of the level of environmental perception of the interviewees. Regarding the activities of Research and Extension, the projects developed in the institution between 2004 and 2015 were analyzed, as well as the quantitative of dissertations and theses that addressed the environmental theme in their studies. It is known that, from this educational environment, professionals from different backgrounds and skills will emerge, and therefore, it is necessary to solidify the knowledge and applicability of the principles of Environmental Education in their daily professional practice. It was identified that Law 9,795, which establishes the National Policy for Environmental Education, is not present in activities related to Teaching, Research and Extension. Finally, even with the level of environmental perception of the interviewees reaching an index of 93.69%, which is considered to be very high, the Institution needs a greater insertion of the environmental theme in the practices of its conjuncture. It is important to emphasize that this study allowed a panoramic view of the reality of the University and, at the same time, demonstrated the need for a more intense institutional look at the environmental theme, also allowing the foundation and direction of future studies based on what is advocated in the PNEA.

Знайти повний текст джерелаThis dissertation extends our knowledge of digital affordances in communicating complex scientific information by building and testing a climate change adaptation website for the Colombian coffee sector, www.climaycafe.com. This project offers both a practical component (scholarship of engagement) and theoretical component (extension of our understanding of the objective/subjective nature of affordances). Practically, it seeks to create a collaborative and tailored science communication solution for improved information access to support climate change adaptation. Theoretically, it extends our understanding of affordances in a digital environment through a qualitative assessment, specifically how occupational identity influences the subjective nature of affordances. Data is gathered through an iterative qualitative assessment of users’ interpretation of the perceived affordances on the website. The results demonstrate that occupational identity has an influence on perceived digital affordances, particularly influenced by (1) Perceived Social Status of Occupation, (2) Perception of Value Based on Occupational Demands, (3) Occupational Influence on Perceived Reliability and (4) Usability Preferences Based on Occupation. We additionally found that as creators we can set general goals for digital tools and achieve general success in obtaining them, but ultimately the users will dictate their needs within this broader framework. Lastly, there is a self-identified need for more practical knowledge and information access for coffee farmers in these regions of Colombia around climate change adaptation.

Знайти повний текст джерелаHuman society is presently beset by an array of anthropogenic social-ecological crises that threaten the sustainability of the social-ecological systems that sustain our livelihoods. While research alone will not rectify these issues, it can help to answer key questions that must be addressed to develop effective solutions. To address such questions in a cohesive, compelling manner, social-ecological research can be bounded, structured, and distilled through innumerable organizing principles or theoretical frameworks. For this dissertation, I focused on the geographic region of Tierra del Fuego and sought to draw from the array of disciplines and methods that use sound as a lens for biological, ecological, and/or social inquiry. I also endeavored to consider various temporal, spatial, and organizational scales while investigating a selection of topics with a) specific importance in the social-ecological systems of Tierra del Fuego and b) general relevance to global social-ecological challenges. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the dissertation, and Chapter 6 serves as a conclusion.
The objective of Chapter 2, “Biogeographical and analytical implications of temporal variability in geographically diverse soundscapes”, was to provide some guidance to passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) practitioners on how to design appropriate temporal sampling schemes based on the temporal variability of the sounds one wishes to measure and the power and storage limitations of acoustic recorders. We first quantified the temporal variability of several soundscape measurements and compared that variability across sites and times of day. We also simulated a wide range of temporal sampling schemes in order to model their representativeness relative to continuous sampling.
For Chapter 3, “Sentinels for sentinels: passive acoustic and camera trap monitoring of sensitive penguin populations”, we tested the utility of PAM to monitor behavior and abundance of Magellanic (Spheniscus magellanicus) and southern rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome) at different spatial and temporal scales. We conducted in situ observations of the acoustic behavior of each species, and we compared acoustic metrics with penguin counts from narrowly focused camera traps and larger-extent observations of colony density.
Chapter 4, “Acoustic monitoring shows invasive beavers (Castor canadensis) increase avian diversity in Tierra del Fuego”, is focused on impacts of the invasive North American beaver (Castor canadensis) on Fuegian bird communities. We sought to determine how bird communities might differ between intact riparian forests, beaver ponds, and beaver meadows created by pond drainage. We conducted PAM and classic avian point counts under each of these conditions across seasons to test for differences between impact conditions and to compare the two methodologies.
For Chapter 5, “Human-nature connection and soundscape perception: insights from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina”, we evaluated the relationship between soundscape perception and nature relatedness by conducting surveys and soliciting responses to soundscape audio prompts. We also examined the potential for any demographic influences on nature relatedness or soundscape perception in the context of local social tensions.
