Modern technologies allow much higher rate of prosperity than normally seen around the globe. The development can be achieved based on the local resources. Pyrolysis should play the central role on the initial stage of the processing of the biomass. The practical experience made by the development engineers allow to make solid conclusion about the current problems faced during the introduction of the technology. The introduction of pyrolysis technologies, especially in developing countries, faces non-engineering problems. The assessment of the economic viability of the introduced technological process can be performed based on the coverage of the global deficit, primarily in terms of resources substituted as inputs. To motivate the local population, it is proposed to introduce a large number of small production facilities with a unified system of coordination of producers and partial transfer of ownership rights. The regional economy should undergo the balanced growth and be protected by cheap quasi real regional currency and expensive accumulative currency. The reginal saving rate can be regulated, allowing for the accelerated rate of regional investments. New green technologies based on pyrolysis should allow for the new regional economic policy named “Green economic defensive initiative”.

O ecoturismo é uma atividade socioambiental capaz de promover benefícios de conservação ambiental, assim como proporcionar o bem estar às populações locais envolvidas no processo de seu desenvolvimento. A partir dessa acepção, o presente artigo teve o objetivo de analisar a relação da Juçara Euterpe Oleracea Mart. e o ecoturismo diagnosticado como atividade turística a ser fomentada na APA do Maracanã. A metodologia utilizada centrou-se na análise documental como fio condutor para delinear os resultados. Esta análise enquadrou documentos importantes do acervo do Departamento de Turismo e Hotelaria (DETUH) do Centro de Ciências Sociais (CCSO) da Universidade Federal do Maranhão (UFMA). Os resultados encontrados indicam que a Euterpe Oleracea Mart. é a marca característica da APA e o seu uso, tradicionalmente, serve para a alimentação da população local, bem como para os festejos denominado “festa da Juçara”. Verifica-se que é possível fomentar benefícios tangíveis do ecoturismo para as comunidades locais da APA a partir do fortalecimento de sua economia local baseada no beneficiamento da Juçara Euterpe Oleracea Mart. como elemento catalisador do desenvolvimento comunitário para o ecoturismo na APA do Maracanã. Contudo, uma correlação significativa entre a Juçara Euterpe Oleracea Mart. e o ecoturismo ainda é incipiente, pois ainda há percalços metodológicos a serem seguidos, principalmente concernente a construção de espaços deliberativos democráticos que assegurem de fato e de direito a institucionalidade do ecoturismo como atividade socioambiental capaz de promover o bem-estar e a conservação ambiental da APA do Maracanã. Ecotourism and community development: inclusion possibilities of "Juçara" Euterpe oleracea Mart. in ecotourism routes of Área de Proteção Ambiental do Maracanã, São Luís (MA, Brazil) ABSTRACT Ecotourism is an environmental activity that promotes environmental benefits of environmental conservation, as well as providing welfare to local population involved in the process of its development. From this sense, this article aims to analyze the relationship of Juçara Euterpe Oleracea Mart. and ecotourism diagnosed as tourism to be promoted in that APA Maracanã. The methodology focused on document analysis as a guideline of outline the results. This analysis fits important documents of the Department of the Tourism and Hotelary the Centre for Social Sciences of the Federal University of Maranhão. The results indicate that the Euterpe Oleracea Mart. is the hallmark of APA and its use traditionally serves to feed the local population and called for celebrations “festa da juçara”. It appears that is possible to promote ecotourism tangible benefits to local communities APA from strengthening its local economy based on processing of Euterpe Oleracea Mart. as a catalyst of community development for ecotourism in the APA in the Maracanã. However, a significant correlation between Euterpe Oleracea Mart. and ecotourism is still in its infancy, as there are still methodological obstacles to be followed, especially concerning the construction of democratic deliberative spaces to ensure in fact and in law the institutions of ecotourism as environmental activity to promote the welfare and environmental conservation APA Maracanã. KEYWORDS: Community Development; Ecotourism; APA Maracanã.

This paper presents a method of forecasting the population of Chinese population attractive cities. In this model the overall population is divided into two main parts, floating population(the people who will live in the city for a long time but do not have household register) and local population. The increment of floating population is positively correlated with the increment of local GDP approximately. Leslie matrix is used to imitate the process of the local population growth. Four main factors, death rate, birth rate, the ratio of male to female, and the growth of the local economy are considered to forecast the local population and floating population separately. The method in this paper overcome these shortcomings of the former method that they cannot explain the inner changes of the population, and ignore the factor of migration. So this method will offer a basis for the science of population forecasting.

Abstract We set out to assess the social impacts of tourism in a Community Based Tourism (CBT) destination by asking the following questions; (1) from a community and individual perspective, what are the major issues faced in a CBT destination?, and (2) is there any pattern to, or similarity between, quality of life and liveable environment impacts in a CBT destination? The Sagarmatha (Mt Everest) National Park in Nepal is used for the study area and where tourism is clearly an important contributor to the local economy. Despite high levels of resident and visitor satisfaction with tourism, survey results indicate that the major issues faced by communities and individuals in the Sagarmatha National Park and Buffer Zone (SNPBZ) are related to uncontrolled tourism development. This is most evident in a lack of relevant skills and training, increasing time burden to cater for tourists, frustrations felt by residents during peak season, the impact of inbound migration, lack of community control and most importantly, the impact of waste and water pollution. Management of the SNPBZ is based on a multi-stakeholder system that includes local population participation, but it does not seem to be working very well. Our survey indicates that uncontrolled growth of tourism businesses is placing increasing pressures on traditional cultures and the environment, thus creating negative impacts on quality of live and liveable environment for residents. Without an effective management system that enhances the ability of communities and Park management to control the impact of tourism, the situation is very likely to worsen in the future.

La Unión is a city located in the southeast of Spain with a long mining tradition. Along the twentieth century, this place faced a severe industrial crisis. Building on its history, heritage, and resources, the local economy changed towards the mining heritage tourism business. This article describes such a process of sustainable development and urban resilience through a two-stage approach. First, the focus is on explaining how the locality moved from being a mining industrial area to a mining heritage tourism place. In doing so, the study highlights the key role played by the cooperation of the local government and the nearby university. The second stage shows how the new economic model is firmly rooted on the mining identity of the place and what provides higher levels of sustainability to the destination from a social and cultural view. In this context, the article shows how the place identity model of tourism would be eager to limit the negative impacts usually associated with the spread of tourism, consequently receiving further support by the local population. To better understand the second-stage process, the study defines a theoretical framework and tests it empirically through a structural equation modeling approach. Results of the research provide regional policy advices.

The lack of sustainable development strategies of the tourist resorts from Romania caused the structural dynamics of their economy to record large fluctuations under the impact of determinants with unpredictable developments. The spectacular dynamics have led to developments difficult to predict, in many situations that generate environmental conflicts, where the economic pressure has exceeded the support capacity of the natural environment. In this study, we aim to analyze the dynamic relationship between tourism and the other components of the economy, from each resort from Romania. The significant growth of tourism in recent years requires new approaches, relevant for understanding the role of tourism in increasing the complexity of the local economy. Measuring the role of tourism in the development of local economy was achieved by building an economic database for all tourist resorts from Romania (according to Government Decision No. 107 of 2018), at the four-digit NACE code level (Classification of National Economy Activities), for the economic indicators considered relevant: number of companies, number of employees, and turnover and profit, for the period 2000–2016, as well as at territorial administrative unit level. Detailed analyses revealed very different structural dynamics, the spectacular dynamics, lacking a coherent strategic framework, led in all situations to the emergence of environmental conflicts. Tourist resorts in which tourism has become an essential component of economic development have based their development on capitalization of local resources, which led to multiplication effects, materialized in a spectacular evolution of the local economy, and an increasing pressure on the natural environment.

Sustainability is the ability to nurture or support a process for an extended period without compromising the needs of the future generation. Sustainable chemistry is a term that refers to the creation of chemical products and processes that decreases or remove the use and production of hazardous substances. Even though sustainable and green technologies have evolved in other scientific fields, their use in the pharmaceutical industry is still initial stage. Therefore, we need to work in green chemistry to ensure its growth in the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, the current review aimed to highlight the need for green chemistry or sustainable chemistry and its principles and its application in the pharmaceutical industry to practice environment-friendly production of pharmaceutical products and reduce or stop the production of harmful intermediates and products during the synthesis process.

The impact of protected areas on local communities is the subject of intense discussions as part of the implementation of the global ecosystem protection agenda. Conflicts between the interests of environmental protection and the needs of socio-economic development become particularly acute when large areas of land are taken out of economic circulation as a result of organizing protected areas. In this case, there is an urgent need for detailed and reliable information about the social impacts of such land withdrawal on the well-being of the local population. An analysis of the methodological approaches widely presented in the literature, used to assess the social impact of protected areas, testifies to the insufficiency of completed and practically applicable methodological guidelines for the areas with significant restrictions for people who form part of the protected landscape. In this study, we understand the cost estimate of the social impact of national parks on the local population as a quantitative calculation of the losses due to restrictions on their ownership rights to land and property assets. The methodological approach consists in considering the category of losses as a sum total of the actual damage and lost profits. The assessment algorithm includes three stages: systematization of social impacts on citizens, development of indicators and data collection, and calculation of actual damage to the population and lost profits. The assessment is performed using the example of the Tunkinsky National Park located in the Tunkinsky municipal district of the Republic of Buryatia, a region of the Russian Federation, where there are 14 rural settlements with a population of more than 20,000 people. The results of the calculations show that the losses of the rural population due to legal restrictions on the registration of land dealings amount to 170.4 million USD. Taking into account the potential amount of administrative fines and the value of property subject to demolition, the losses amount to 239.2 million USD. It is more than an order of magnitude greater than the amount of own revenues of the Tunkinsky municipal district in 2011–2019. The results obtained demonstrate the real picture of the impact of restrictions on the rights of local people to land within the boundaries of national parks and are useful for developing measures to account for their interests and include protected areas in the socio-economic development of regions. The methodological approach developed by the authors can be used in other national parks, where it is necessary to optimize the policy of improving land use for local residents.

The paper addresses the results of research in the field of creation of new "green" technologies and their economic validity. The authors argue that the trend of the remote territories’ development should become the basis of the effectiveness of introduction of these technologies. Economic disproportions in the development of such territories have led to the creation of technologies that allow using local resources. As a result of the research, a model for the development of the depressed areas through the creation of effective growth points using the opportunities of small and medium entrepreneurship has been elaborated.
