Em função do crescimento desordenado da carcinicultura no Nordeste do Brasil, nesta pesquisa foi realizado um levantamento dos licenciamentos ambientais voltados à carcinicultura do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, ao longo da década de 2005 a 2015, referente ao número de empreendimentos licenciados por ano, porte dos empreendimentos por tipos de licenças outorgadas e regiões com maior densidade de fazendas de carcinicultura. A pesquisa foi realizada através de avaliação documental, com dados cedidos pelo Instituto de Desenvolvimento Sustentável e Meio Ambiente (IDEMA, 2016), e embasado nas legislações nacionais e estaduais pertinentes à área de estudo. No total, foram analisadas 698 licenças, sendo a maioria das fazendas de porte médio e solicitantes de licenças de operação, havendo uma maior concentração de empreendimentos de diferentes portes no litoral Sul do estado. Evidenciou-se uma grande quantidade de fazendas (64,18%) com solicitação de licenças atrasadas, além da constatação de que o maior número de licenças foi expedido no período em que mais ocorreram problemas de ordem ambiental e econômica na atividade.  Environmental Licensing diagnosis of Srimp farming in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, BrazilA b s t r a c tIn this article, a survey was made regarding the environmental licensing of shrimp farming in Rio Grande do Norte, during the decade between 2005 to 2015, in relation to the number of enterprises licensed per year, size of enterprises by type of licenses granted and regions with higher density of shrimp farms. The research was done through documentary evaluation, with data provided by the Institute for Sustainable Development and Environment (IDEMA). A total of 698 licenses were identified, with the majority of medium-sized farms and applicants for operating licenses, with a higher concentration of micro, small, medium and large ports in the southern coast of the state. A large number of farms with a request for delayed licenses (64,18%) were evidenced, in addition to the finding that the highest number of licenses was issued in the period in which there were more economic and environmental problems in the activity.Keywords: Environmental studies.

Green Entrepreneurship

The purpose of this study is to determine the main directions of development of green entrepreneurship on the basis of environmental responsibility. The relevance of this study is due to the need to identify the main directions of green business development to solve environmental problems, based on the basic principles of environmental responsibility. It is believed that environmental responsibility is the basic basis for the formation of socially responsible green entrepreneurship, whose mission is environmental improvement on the basis of sustainable development. It is established thatit is expedient to consider ecological responsibility on levels (the state, the enterprises, the public).As the experience of successful companies shows, environmental responsibility can be integrated into the value and business of the company.The analysis revealed the main tools to stimulate green entrepreneurship: environmental taxes, "green" investments, instruments of stimulating influence on green entrepreneurship. It is established that in Ukraine the main responsibility for the implementation of sustainable development lies with the state and enterprises. The research revealed shortcomings in the organization of supervision measures and control over the targeted use of funds for the implementation of environmental programs. Also the imperfection of the regulatory framework, the inefficiency of the accounting, reporting and monitoring system, the ineffectiveness of measuresmonitoring the results of each project within a specific program to solve environmental problems. It is established that local governments and enterprises are two important participants in the environmental management system in Ukraine. Therefore, it is important to regulate environmental responsibility at the national, including regional, and corporate levels.

Community Tourism

O desenvolvimento do turismo em áreas protegidas tem gerado discussões entre estudiosos do setor em relação ao seu planejamento, sustentabilidade e a viabilidade em conciliar os objetivos da conservação ambiental, da economia e da gestão comunitária. A Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Estadual Ponta do Tubarão (RDSEPT), localizada no litoral setentrional do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, foi a primeira Unidade de Conservação (UC) estadual criada por reivindicação da sociedade civil organizada que vive nessa área. Esse processo se deu em virtude das ameaças de degradação dos recursos naturais decorrentes, principalmente, da especulação imobiliária e da atividade de carcinicultura nos manguezais da região. Dentre as alternativas de uso sustentável do ambiente da RDSEPT, o turismo comunitário tem sido apontado pelos moradores locais, como uma prática capaz de gerar, simultaneamente, renda, oportunidade de trabalho e conservação ambiental. Nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar e compreender os processos participativos e perspectivas do desenvolvimento do turismo comunitário, na RDSEPT. A pesquisa tem abordagem qualitativa, natureza exploratório-descritiva, com adoção de coleta de dados secundários para o levantamento bibliográfico e documental, bem como a observação participante. Os resultados mostraram que a o turismo comunitário na Reserva está em processo de organização, sendo desenvolvida de forma incipiente, gerenciada por associação comunitária local, envolvendo também a participação do Grupo de Trabalho do Turismo e sem intervenções do setor público. A referida UC não possui, oficialmente implementado, um Plano de Manejo que contemple programas de uso público e de manejo do turismo. Esses fatores, associados à carência de investimentos públicos e privados em infraestrutura necessária ao turismo, podem ser responsáveis pelas dificuldades ao processo desenvolvimento da atividade na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Estadual Ponta do Tubarão. Community tourism and Participative Management in RDS Ponta do Tubarão (RN, Brazil): processes and perspectives The tourism development in protected areas has been widely debated with regard to its planning, sustainability and feasibility to conciliate the aims of environmental conservation, business and community management. The Ponta do Tubarão State Sustainable Development Reserve (PTSSDR), located in the Rio Grande do Norte state northern coast, was the first Conservation Unit created by the claim of the local organized civil society. This process occurred due to the threats of degradation of natural resources, coming from real estate speculation and Shrimp farming activity in Mangroves of the region. Among the alternatives for a sustainable usage of RDSEPT environment, the community tourism has been pointed out by the naïve residents as a practice with potential to provide income, job opportunities and environmental conservation. In this context, our goal is to analyze and understand the participatory processes and the perspectives of the community tourism in RDSEPT. This research has a qualitative approach, descriptive-exploratory nature, with adoption of secondary data collection for bibliographic and documental searching, as well as participant observation. The results showed that the community tourism in the Reserve is in process of organization, with incipient development, being managed by local associations, involving the participation PTSSDR Tourism Working Group, with no intervention from public department. The already-mentioned Conservation Unit does not have an official Management Plan, encompassing public programs and tourism management. These factors, together with the lack of public and private investments in infrastructure, may be the responsible for difficulties in the The Ponta do Tubarão State Sustainable Development Reserve activity developmental process.

AbstractA new species of the genus Diomedenema, a spiruromorph nematode, collected from the lung of Spheniscus magellanicus (Sphenisciformes) found on the southern coast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, is described. The new species is differentiated from the only previously described species of the genus, D. diomedeae Johston & Mawson, 1952, by males possessing a set of caudal papillae with three pairs of precloacal, two pairs of adcloacal and one pair of postcloacal papillae; precloacal papillae with the papillae of the first two pairs being closer to each other than those of the third pair; a longer and pointed tail in males; and females with the vulva at mid-body. This is the first report of a nematode infecting the lung of a sphenisciforme host.

In Rio Grande do Sul State, there are four marine shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farms in the municipal districts of São José do Norte and Rio Grande, and other four with previous license for operation. Thus, the present study aimed to identify and characterize areas for marine shrimp farming located in the Southern portion of the Patos Lagoon estuary (32º00'S 52º00'W) by employing the analysis of satellite remote sensing (Landsat TM and ETM+/Google Earth), airborne remote sensing (35mm system ADAR 1000), terrestrial remote sensing (RICOH 500SE), and field expeditions, integrating data in a Geographical Information System (IDRISI Andes). As a result, the enterprises were built on coastal fields or in obliterated dune areas, which are favorable for cultivation. The proximity of possible consuming markets and local labor, relatively good access roads and local technical support also favor the projects. However, there must be caution in terms of changes in the original projects, which could cause environmental impacts and noncompliance of environmental norms, such as the occupation of salt marsh areas. Based on the obtained information, instruments can be created to help inherent legal decision-making to manage the activity for futures enterprises.

Identification Analysis

The paper deals with the conception of sustainable development, its aims and tasks, which orient teachers towards the analysis of environmental problems and their links with economic and social progress. Such approach serves as a starting point formulating and conceptualizing the reasons of the rise and spread of these problems. A definite model oriented towards sustainable development is described and educational experience in the analysis of environmental issues in the aspect of sustainable development is presented. The history of environment provides an opportunity to identify when environmental problems arise and how they vary under the influence of socio-cultural, economic and political factors; it is one of the means studying the basics of sustainable development. Teaching to understand and solve problems in the aspect of the history of environment adds significance to a teacher's activities, which include consistent stages of schoolchildren's practical activities and development of their abilities to analyze and solve environmental issues (problem identification, analysis of its formation and development, understanding the urgency of its solution). Studies of the history of environment in the aspect of sustainable development enable teachers to implement the strategic conception of integrated teaching and national sustainable development in practice. The paper presents integration opportunities of various teaching subjects and the studies of various environmental issues (objects, localities). The described methods give an opportunity to develop various competences of schoolchildren and to stimulate changes in their lifestyle. Key words: sustainable development, environmental studies, and science education.

he article is devoted to the study of the influence of ecological public con- sciousness on the state of perception of ecological problems in European countries and Ukraine. Ecological consciousness is considered as a latent determinant of modern tendencies of realization of the concept of sustainable development in the context of greening of the international economic system. It is noted that in conditions of social uncertainty, people have the effect of «ecological alienation» as a characteristic of the state of perception of environmental problems in the minds of members of modern society. Although the issues of rational use of economic resources, finding ways to green the international economy, preventing man-made risks and the global envi- ronmental crisis are the focus of European governments, an effective solution to these issues is not possible without the reliable support of society. After all, the effectiveness of the environmental policy of each state depends on the trends of perception of environmental problems by its citizens. Issues of environmental consciousness are more related to ethical categories, as they have a significant impact on the formation of civic attitudes of the individual regarding the perception of the importance of certain aspects of society. That is why the analysis of the state of ecological consciousness of the inhabitants of European countries and Ukraine was studied according to the results of the 7th wave, 2017-2020 of the comparative study “World Values Survey” (WVS) using comparative and typological analysis. The World Values Survey is the largest non-profit international survey of human beliefs and values, which contributes to the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals and the goals set by the UN program for the period after 2015. From the presented data set, the basic empirical components were identified, which, according to the authors, illustrate the European context of the greening of con- sciousness - the attitude to technologization; the priority of the ecological state of the country over the economic development of soci- ety; the state of trust in environmental protection organizations and the level of active civil position on environmental protection. On the basis of the secondary analysis of data, the key modern tendencies of formation of ecological consciousness in the countries of Europe and Ukraine are substantiated: tendency to ecological thinking; formation of ecological culture; economic rationality. The conclusion is made about the expediency of monitoring and forecasting the state of ecological public consciousness as one of the factors regulating global socio-economic processes in European countries and Ukraine. According to the authors, the environmental consciousness of members of society determines the degree of permissible range of orientation of a country to implement environmentally friendly goals of sustainable development. The study of the variability of the dominance of the trends of ecological consciousness mentioned in the article in certain socio-demographic communities allows to create an effective system of social guarantees in providing conditions for effective socio-economic development and maintaining an ecologically healthy living environment, both in Europe as a whole and in individual countries, in particular.

New occurrences of 10 species of angiosperms from Rio Grande do Norte state are reported. These data were collected by an environmental consultancy prior to the establishment of a wind farm. These records demonstrate the presence of knowledge gaps in the Caatinga flora of the state and show how an environmental consultancy can positively contribute towards the documentation of biodiversity in areas prior to their modification by human activities. In particular, at a time when the Brazilian Congress is discussing the elimination of environmental studies for licensing new developments, these new occurrence data highlight the importance of environmental studies.

The present study aimed to analyse the sustainability degree of the Municipality of Touros located in Rio Grande do Norte (Northeast of Brazil) through the "Barometer of Sustainability” methodology, in 2010. This is a descriptive, exploratory and applicative study. The data collection was based on secondary source such as the databases of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, the National Confederation of Municipalities, as well as the Institute for Sustainable Development and Environment of Rio Grande do Norte from October, 2010 to July, 2011. Regarding the choice of indicators applied, it was done taking into account the availability of data for the municipality. Hence, the human subsystem (HWI) and ecological (EWI) indicators were: life expectancy, child mortality, malnutrition, fertility rate, water supply, sanitation, literacy rate, education, literacy, energy consumption, agricultural production, environmental protection area, and vegetable extraction. It was applied thirteen indicators in the Barometer of Sustainability methodology. The degree obtained for the human subsystem was 48, showing that the municipality is in a satisfactory position. Concerning the ecological subsystem, the situation is potentially sustainable, a value of 67.58, which means a satisfactory score. Therefore, Touros has a strong potential for sustainability, requiring public policies for health and education and specifically for agricultural production and environmental protection area.

The research considers theoretical principles of ecological behaviour of the population. The main factors influencing the ecological behavior of a person are described. In this topic, factors of environmental behavior were divided into groups: external (arising from environmental conditions) and internal (physical and mental characteristics of the person). External factors include social, cultural, economic, legal and other components. They influence other components (economic factors interact not only in their own circle, but also affect the social, cultural and environmental environment). Internal factors of environmental behaviour depend on the characteristics of human nature, motivational settings, values and mental properties of the individual in relation to the environment. Motivation is one of the reasons for behaviour or a strong internal stimulus. It has been established that certain factors have an impact on several social groups (ecological taxation, the actual installation of containers for the sorting of garbage), while others – only on individuals (description in the works of the literature of the nature of the native land). An analysis of the sociological survey among residents of Kyiv and Chernihiv regarding the ideas about sustainable development and the acuteness of environmental problems was conducted. An analysis of the environmental problems of the city of Chernihiv revealed that the organization of waste management and the necessity of building a waste recycling plant are the most acute problems of the city’s residents. Residents of the capital are more concerned about the quality of drinking water. Another major concern is the issue of waste management and management. The third position relates to air pollution. The study allowed for information on the public awareness of the main provisions of the Rio Conventions, the place of environmental values in the hierarchy of social values of citizens, the availability of knowledge about environmental problems, understanding of the state of the environment from sustainable development of society, the use of eco-friendly measures in everyday life. The degree of readiness and attraction of the population to the main types of ecological behaviour is analyzed. Correlation between the level of education and the measures that respondents are prepared to do and are already doing to improve the environmental situation of their city are observed. Mechanisms of stimulation of ecological behaviour of the population are considered. It is determined that the economic mechanism covers two groups of regulators of the environmental behavior of the population. The first of them makes it difficult to limit the ecological and destructive activity of pollutants in the environment. The second – encourages business entities to improve the state of the environment by activating the environmental activities of producers of goods and services. It has been established that the economic mechanism that exists in Ukraine is more oriented to regulating environmental behaviour that limits environmental degradation activities. This mechanism does not stimulate the spread of environmentally sound technologies, limits the introduction of environmentally-oriented innovations in production and does not encourage environmental activities. The importance of environmental education and ecological education as an important mechanism of ecological behaviour of the population is emphasized.
