Corredores Ecológicos são áreas que unem os fragmentos florestais ou unidades de conservação separadas por interferência humana. Apoiados por uma base teórica da ecologia da paisagem, os corredores ecológicos são considerados uma unidade de planejamento e ordenamento territorial.  Para melhor compreender este conceito, este artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre os aportes teóricos e conceituais dos Corredores Ecológicos em relação à conservação ambiental. Como metodologia, utilizou-se de levantamento e análise bibliográfica de artigos de revistas nacionais e internacionais que tratavam sobre o tema. Os resultados indicam que os Corredores Ecológicos são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento regional sustentável, pois apenas a existência deles permite que haja políticas públicas associadas à conservação da biodiversidade.Palavras-chave: Conservação biológica; Gestão Integrada, Corredores Ecológicos. ABSTRACTEcological corridors are areas that link forest fragments or protected areas separated by human interference.

The paper aims to identify and analyze what types of governance challenges for sustainable regional development in the context of globalization are more frequently found in scholarship regarding Latin America. In order to do so, we carried out a systematic review of scholarly works discussing regional sustainability issues across the region. Analytically, it provides a heuristic multidimensional framework for organizing and typifying the most frequent sustainable regional development governance challenges under study, offering a nuanced and interrelated account of economic, environmental, political, and socio-spatial scientific discussions. According to our findings, scholarship on Latin America shows a bricolage-like scenery where political atomization linked to economic factionalism and fragmentation stand out as frequently analyzed situations. Another frequent topic relates to discussions about political endeavors linked to environmental concerns, connecting incidence strategies with collective environmental conservation approaches.

AbstractThe use of online social networks (OSNs) has increasingly attracted attention from scholars’ in different disciplines. Recently, student behaviors in online social networks have been extensively examined. However, limited efforts have been made to evaluate and systematically review the current research status to provide insights into previous study findings. Accordingly, this study conducted a systematic literature review on student behavior and OSNs to explicate to what extent students behave on these platforms. This study reviewed 104 studies to discuss the research focus and examine trends along with the important theories and research methods utilized. Moreover, the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model was utilized to classify the factors that influence student behavior. This study’s results demonstrate that the number of studies that address student behaviors on OSNs have recently increased. Moreover, the identified studies focused on five research streams, including academic purpose, cyber victimization, addiction, personality issues, and knowledge sharing behaviors. Most of these studies focused on the use and effect of OSNs on student academic performance. Most importantly, the proposed study framework provides a theoretical basis for further research in this context.

Forest fragmentation is defined as the process by which a continuous area of habitat is reduced in size and divided between spaces. Therefore, due to the increase in these areas, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the literature on forest fragments in the Atlantic Forest biome in order to verify their main characteristics and landscape ecology. Publications in search platforms referring to the period from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed such as: SciELO, Google academic and CAPES journals portal. The search terms entered were: “Studies of forest fragments in the Atlantic Forest biome” and “Landscape ecology in forest fragments”. A total of 15 articles were selected from among the works found, and 5 of these were chosen to be evaluated in the present study. Four of the five works were carried out in the state of Espírito Santo, close to basins and sub-basins, and only one work was carried out in a state park. Thus, the evaluated works with the theme, study of fragmentation and ecology of the landscape showed a high degree of fragmentation, meaning that they have fragments smaller than 5 hectares; in addition, all fragments have an irregular edge effect. Therefore, measures aimed at the conservation of biodiversity are needed in all places so that there is ecological restoration of the landscape and conservation of fauna and flora in the Atlantic Forest biome.

Agro Forestry

Food insecurity and poverty have been affecting the livelihood of the rural poor since ages. It is posing a major challenge to the sustainable development of a developing country like India. In such countries, land and soil degradation has emerged as an offshoot of excessive population pressure over the limited resources. Agricultural production in the developing countries has seldom matched the needs of the people. Agro forestry has the potential to arrest land degradation and improve site productivity through interaction with trees, soil, crops and livestock. Agro forestry is also a potential option for improving rural livelihood and enhancing integrated management of the natural resource base. Agro forestry systems can play an important role in carbon mitigation programmes through carbon sequestration and can reduce the pressure on existing natural forests by providing fuel, fodder, timber and wood products to the farmers. The current interest in agro forestry in India has transformed the land-use system in terms of economic sustainability. This article briefly reviews about the concept of Poplar and Bamboo based agro forestry systems as adopted extensively by the farmers on a commercial and environmental conservation scale. These systems play a significant role to meet the economic, social and environmental concerns of the villagers.

Os corredores ecológicos surgem como alternativa para mitigar os efeitos da fragmentação florestal permitindo entre eles o fluxo gênico de fauna e flora e a recolonização de áreas degradadas. Diante do exposto o presente estudo teve como objetivo, identificar para a bacia hidrográfica do rio Itapemirim, ES, por meio de metodologia desenvolvida em Sistemas de Informações Geográficas, a delimitação de corredores ecológicos que propiciem a interligação de fragmentos florestais, identificados mediante análise das métricas da paisagem como fragmentos florestais com atributos espaciais, que sugerem maior conservação. A metodologia consistiu no mapeamento dos fragmentos florestais por meio de técnicas de classificação supervisionada utilizando imagem do satélite LANDSAT 8 OLI, obtidas junto ao Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais. Realizou-se o cálculo dos índices de ecologia, por meio do software ArcGis 10.2, com a extensão de domínio público V-LATER 2.0. Identificou-se 11.749 fragmentos florestais, que representam 22% de cobertura florestal na bacia hidrográfica. Os fragmentos pequenos (< 5 ha) foram encontrados em maior número, 8.394, seguidos pelos fragmentos de tamanho médio (5 a 50 ha), 2.995, e grandes (> 50 ha), 360. O número de fragmentos apresentaram relação inversa com sua contribuição na área. O bioma Mata Atlântica presente na bacia hidrográfica do rio Itapemirim, é representado, em sua maioria, por fragmentos florestais pequenos, menores que 5 ha, indicando um alto grau de fragmentação.  Identification of Forest Fragments Potential for the delimitation of Ecological Corridors in the Itapemirim, ES River Basin through Remote Sensing techniques A B S T R A C TEcological corridors emerge as an alternative to mitigate the effects of forest fragmentation, allowing for the gene flow of fauna and flora and the recolonization of degraded areas.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the essential features of a Management Information System (MIS), designed and implemented at the Universidad de Otavalo to support strategic planning, institutional evaluation, and decision making.   A five-phase and fifteen-stage process was applied, along with their corresponding techniques and expected results.  Based on the literature review and their experience with the implementation, the authors devised a novel MIS implementation approach, comprising the following phases: planning, information analysis, MIS design, implementation and evaluation.  The MIS consisted of four main modules: teaching, research, linkages with society, and management, and was based on the client-server model.  The literature review did not yield any publications that discussed truly integrated management information systems applied to university management covering the four main modules, thus confirming the originality of the work described in this paper. The MIS implementation results contributed to the improvement of the management of the university through the automation of most of the processes and activities related to institutional planning and evaluation, and considerably accelerated the processing and analysis of useful information for decision making.
