    Wetlands Ecology and Management 12: 547–552, 2004. 547 # 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Features and conservation of the Brazilian Pantanal wetland Arnildo Pott* and Vali Joana Pott Embrapa, Caixa postal 154, Campo Grande, MS, 79002-970 Brazil; *Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]) Accepted in revised form 18 July 2003 Key words: Aquatic vegetation, Ecology, Floodable grassland, Neotropical wetland, Savanna, Vegetation dynamics Abstract The Pantanal is a 140,000 km2 sedimentary floodplain in western Brazil and one of the largest wetlands in the world. The main landscapes and phytophysiognomies, according to flood origin, are briefly described and some of the characteristic plant species are mentioned: (a) river flood (1–5 m) on clayey eutrophic soils with gallery forests, pioneer forests and scrub, Tabebuia and Copernicia parks, seasonal swamps, grasslands and oxbow lakes; and (b) rain flood (10–80 cm) mainly on dystrophic sandy soils (72% of the total area) with savanna (‘‘cerrado’’) grasslands and woodlands, with or without ponds. Regulating factors of the vegetation such as wet-and-dry cycle and management are considered. Dynamics of the vegetation, in particular the aquatic types, are shortly depicted. The role of grazing for conservation is discussed, and we suggest that 200 years of cattle ranching apparently did not cause major changes in the vegetation, except turning tall grass into short swards, as the domestic herd found a nearly empty niche. However, severe threats to the flora and fauna of the Pantanal originate outside the floodplain. Siltation of the Taquari river is pointed out as the worst environmental problem, changing the hydrology (wet-and-dry to wet), fauna and flora, e.g.

The diverse mosaics of habitats resulting from the varied soil types and inundation regimes are responsible for an extraordinarily rich terres- trial and aquatic biota, exemplified by the bird richest wetland in the world—463 birds have been recorded there—and the largest known populations of several threatened mammals, such as Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus), marsh deer ( Blastocerus dichotomus), giant otter ( Pteronura brasiliensis), and jaguar ( Panthera onca). Until recently, deforestation of the adjoining Brazilian central plateau was considered the major threat to this area, but now deforestation is a critical problem within the floodplain itself. More than 40% of the forest and savanna habitats have been altered for cattle ranching through the introduction of exotic grasses. And there are other threats that lead to large-scale disruption of ecological processes, severely affecting biodi- versity.

  • The Economic Impacts of Tourism in Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil
    29 Brazilian Journal of Operations & Production Management Volume 7, Number 2, 2010, pp. 29-46 The Economic Impacts of Tourism in Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil Angela Cabral Flechaa aFederal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP), Ouro Preto, Brazil. João Paulo Alves Fuscob bSão Paulo State University (UNESP), Bauru, Brazil. Wagner Bronze Damianic cSchool of Management of São Paulo (EAESP), Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), São Paulo, Brazil. Hudson Fernandes Amarald dFederal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Abstract The tourism spending like other activities has direct and secondary effects on the economy, and presents complex interaction with other activities deserving a special treatment for measuring its contribution to the global result of production and consumption. In this paper, it is used the Money Generation Model to measure the global economic impact of tourism sales in Ouro Preto, this method is not so limited by the data and it is able to produce good approximations to reality. It was not possible to adopt the WTO methodology due to data limitation. The results revealed the real importance of tourism for Ouro Preto, representing up to 10.4% of GDP in 2002, up to 21.8% of tax revenues in 2004, and approximately 11% of the region’s population in 2002 was related to tourism sales. Some actions can be outlined from these results in order to illustrate the current economic reality of the tourism in Ouro Preto. It is also possible to improve the tourist planning accomplished by the local City Hall in a coherent way with the economic results generated by the tourism.

  • A Urbanização Goiana: Os Fatores De Origem E Crescimento Da Cidade 1
    Anais do X Encontro de Geógrafos da América Latina – 20 a 26 de março de 2005 – Universidade de São Paulo A URBANIZAÇÃO GOIANA: OS FATORES DE ORIGEM E CRESCIMENTO DA CIDADE1 Valdivino Borges de Lima2 O povoamento do Brasil ocorreu, primeiramente, no litoral, a partir do século XVI, obviamente pela forma de colonização implantada pela Coroa Portuguesa, que sendo somente de exploração se deu de forma lenta, visto que os produtos extraídos, ao se esgotarem, gerava a migração, que era inevitável e assim, as pessoas buscavam cada vez mais o interior do país. Muitos povoados nascidos desta atividade, posteriormente, tornaram-se cidades, muitos outros desapareceram. A colonização gerou ao longo do tempo os chamados ciclos e subciclos econômicos, que eram atividades econômicas voltadas totalmente para a exportação, atendendo às necessidades mercantilistas da época. Primeiro foi o extrativismo vegetal (pau-brasil) que não fixava o homem na terra, pois sendo nativa, a madeira era encontrada em toda a Mata Atlântica no litoral brasileiro iniciando no Rio Grande do Norte até o litoral do Rio Grande do Sul, e assim, poucas cidades foram fundadas a partir desta atividade, e tinham a função principalmente de controle territorial. Dos ciclos econômicos, ocorridos até o século XIX, talvez o mais importante para o início da interiorização do país, e conseqüentemente criação e desenvolvimento das cidades, foi o ciclo do ouro, mesmo porque a sua ocorrência se estende mais na região central do país no escudo cristalino brasileiro e, como o ouro era o padrão monetário da época (século XVII e XVIII) tornara-se muito importante a sua procura.

To provide significant proposals for ecotourism in the wetland, we believe that detailed data acquired by fieldwork is requisite, This study examines the regional bases that carry regional ecotourism, and attempts to present some proposals for ecotourism from the case of the north Pantanal. The results are shown as follows in order of regional scale. (1) In the water source of the Pantanal, Cerrado region, it is necessary to make efficient plans to control recent agricultural development, especially in soybean and cotton production. (2) On the wetland level, legally protected areas such as national parks and RPPN (Reserva Particular do Patrimonio Natural) should be extended. (3) On the municipal level, environmental subsidies are needed for disused goldmines, and for the maintenance of tourist infrastructures such as Transpantaneira and MT 370. (4) Modern hotels and eco-lodges need to provide ecotourism organized by local people, and to equip the facilities with adequate sewage facilities and garbage recycle plants to preserve the natural environment.

  • Towards a Digital Twin for Heritage Interpretation
    TOWARDS A DIGITAL TWIN FOR HERITAGE INTERPRETATION From HBIM to AR visualization ELOISA DEZEN-KEMPTER1, DAVI LOPES MEZENCIO2, ERICA DE MATOS MIRANDA3, DANILO PICO DE SÁ4 and ULISSES DIAS5 1,2,3,4,5School of Technology, UNICAMP [email protected] 2,3,4{d169759|e155254| d214848}@dac.unicamp.br [email protected] Abstract. Data-driven Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology has brought new tools to efficiently deal with the tension between the real and the virtual environments in the field of Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO). For historic assets, BIM represents a paradigm shift, enabling better decision-making about preventive maintenance, heritage management, and interpretation. The potential application of the Historic-BIM is creating a digital twin of the asset. This paper deals with the concept of a virtual environment for the consolidation and dissemination of heritage information. Here we show the process of creating interactive virtual environments for the Pampulha Modern Ensemble designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1940s, and the workflow to their dissemination in an AR visualization APP. Our results demonstrate the APP feasibility to the Pampulha’s building interpretation. Keywords. Augmented Reality (AR); Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM); Heritage Interpretation; Modern Architecture. 1. Introduction The Digital Twin (DT) can be understood as a probabilistic, multiscale, multiphysics integrated simulation of a system that uses the best physical models, sensors, and history to mirror the life cycle of its corresponding twin. The DT can also predict the system’s response to security-critical events and uncover previously unknown issues before they become critical by comparing current and predicted responses.
