The Creation

European colonists applied terms from their language cultures to various geographical features in territories they explored, occupied and/or settled in. In Canada this resulted in a number of locations being named after mermaids, the French equivalent, sirènes, or the related term sirens. This article provides a survey of these Canadian place names, including discussions of those few whose name origins are known. It also profiles two sites where the manufacture and installation of mermaid statues has resulted in mermaid-themed location naming and related tourism promotion. Discussion of the two examples leads to consideration of the promotional value of mermaid names, associations and visual branding.

The paper discusses the cognitive mechanics of metaphorical name-giving with a focus on place names, following an overview of cognitive metaphor theory and the questions of metaphorically used proper nouns. In cognitive linguistics, the use of metaphors is a cognitive mechanism that plays a fundamental role in human thought and understanding, and the creation of our social, cultural and psychological reality. A particular form of this also manifests in name-giving, creating a small but influential category of names. The category of place names also influences the application of this name-giving method: it is generally used in more informal names and name types. The creation of such a name requires the speaker to detach themselves from the conventional norms of direct descriptionand metonymic name-giving, and relies on their lingual creativity and ability to detach themselves from dominant name-giving models. However, names in the category can also be divided into subcategories. Beyond the typical common-noun-based metaphorical name-giving, more complex parallels can also be found, resulting in the associations connecting the names of several nearby locations. Place names can also serve as the base of metaphorical name-giving, supporting the complex meaning of these names. Despite the fact that the majority of metaphorical names are available from contemporary data collection, it is obviously a long-standing and ancient method of name-giving, as it is based on a cognitive mechanics that seem to be as old as humanity itself.

This research work is a proposal of a model for an inclusive Agritourism business which has been created in order to invigorate the family economy of marginal farmers in Cumanda and Alausi – towns in the Chimborazo Province, Ecuador. Once the tourist potential in the zone, the one which is linked to the farming production systems, was evaluated, an agritourism product was designed for each one of the towns mentioned, and finally, the model Canvas was applied to the proposal. The research combines field, analytic, and participative methods along with techniques such as the interview and the survey. In order to evaluate the tourist potential in the zone, the MINTUR (2004) tourist attractions inventory methodology was applied. These attractions would later be validated in a participative way along with the community with whom the tourist route would also be created. All this is summarized through the business model proposed by Canvas. Thirty- three economically relevant-for-the-population farming products were identified. A tourist route was developed, and it integrated the production systems which have a hierarchy II and III. Moreover, the private and communitarian tourist plant was also designed. The business model proposes the creation of an economically solidary enterprise as a strategy for sustainable development

<p>O desenvolvimento dos ideais conservacionistas e a preservação do patrimônio geológico são temáticas recentes no âmbito da conservação dos recursos abióticos, influenciando na construção de novos conceitos e iniciativas para a conservação da natureza. Dentre essas iniciativas, podemos destacar a criação dos geoparques, que representam parte de um conceito de proteção, educação e desenvolvimento sustentável, partindo do princípio da valorização das atrações turísticas com ênfase nos aspectos geológicos, sociais e culturais de determinada região. Com a criação da Rede Global de Geoparque, sobre a tutela da UNESCO, essas áreas se tornarem cada vez mais valorizadas e seu ingresso à rede deve seguir diversas recomendações. Apesar do Brasil possuir um dos maiores potenciais geológicos do planeta, atualmente o país possui um único geoparque reconhecido pela UNESCO, apesar da existência de 36 propostas. Diversos são as dificuldades que impedem o Brasil de efetivar mais participantes na Rede Global de Geoparques, sendo necessário vencer desafios que vão deste a falta de planejamento especifico a políticas de educação patrimonial. Somente vencendo esses desafios, os geoparques brasileiros conseguirão seu grande objetivo, o reconhecimento pela UNESCO.</p><p><strong>Palavras–chave:</strong> Geoparques; Desafios; Rede Global de Geoparques.</p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>The development of conservation ideals and the preservation of geological heritage are recent themes in the scope of conservation of abiotic resources, influencing the construction of new concepts and initiatives for the conservation of nature. Among these initiatives, we can highlight the creation of geoparks, which represent part of a concept of protection, education and sustainable development, based on the principle of valuing tourist attractions with emphasis on the geological, social and cultural aspects of a given region. With the creation of the Global Geopark Network, under the tutelage of UNESCO, these areas become increasingly valued and their entry into the network must follow several recommendations. Although Brazil has one of the greatest geological potential of the planet, the country currently has a unique geopark recognized by UNESCO, despite the existence of 36 proposals. There are several difficulties that prevent Brazil from making more participants in the Global Geopark Network, and it is necessary to overcome challenges that range from the lack of specific planning to heritage education policies. Only by overcoming these challenges, Brazilian geoparks have achieved their great goal, the recognition by UNESCO.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Geoparks; Challenges; Global Geopark Network.</p>
