STATES INVEST IN PERNAMBUCO Sponsor: Despite the economic crisis that challenges Brazil, Pernambuco has been working to secure its achievements. Between 2015 and 2016, we enabled 90 new private investment projects. In addition to the strategic location, we have a comprehensive policy of state incentives. Our attractiveness is reinforced by the investment in professional training that prepares our people through the network of state vocational schools and partners, so that the population is integrated to the new ventures. PAULO HENRIQUE SARAIVA CÂMARA GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF PERNAMBUCO Pernambuco is the geographic center of the Northeast and stands out in the logistics sector. The Suape Complex, connected to the main shipping sea routes, is one of the best public ports in the country. Our airport connects to several countries and is the second best in Brazil. The Transnordestina Railway is going to connect us with several productive hubs. Promoting development in other areas away from Recife is one of the priorities of the government, which offers incentives for the ones who invest outside the metropolitan region. RAUL JEAN LOUIS HENRY JUNIOR VICE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE AND SECRETARY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil - AMCHAM International Affairs Department Brazil, 2017/2018 *This guide is part of the project ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil, being the largest Amcham outside the United States is serving its members building bridges for Brazilian businesses worldwide. Our foreign investment attraction efforts are a key mission for Amcham. The “How To” guides published by Amcham Brasil are part of this initiative. With the support of some of our members and Brazilian States and cities, we are putting together strategic information on the most various aspects of doing business in Brazil and its opportunities. As part of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and representing the 9th largest economy of the world, and the 6th largest destination for foreign investment, Brazil has an intrinsic importance for the global market. More than ever it is a strategic time for businesses opportunities in Brazil. We welcome you and hope that the information you are about to read will contribute to your commercial and investment decisions linked to Brazil. Deborah Vieitas - CEO, Amcham Brasil Between 2007 and October 2016, the state of Pernambuco managed to attract more than BRL 21.1 billion in investments that generated more than 85,000 jobs from the coast to the hinterlands, according to numbers from the Pernambuco Development Program (Prodepe). That allowed the state to grow at a yearly rate of 4.7% over a seven-year period, well above the national average for Brazil. The 497-mile radius around Recife covers seven of the nine state capitals in the Northeast region, six international airports, ten international ports, and accounts for 90% of GDP in the region. Pernambuco also boasts a strategic location, at a shorter distance from Europe, Africa and North America than most Brazilian states. Thirty industrial districts offer the infrastructure required for factories that generate jobs and development to local citizens. The state also stands out for its Services Hub, located in Recife’s Commercial District, which is comprised of industrial facilities, restaurants, tech companies, several universities and a cultural market. All of these ingredients make Pernambuco the perfect place to welcome new production and infrastructure investments, backed by a state government that is intent on generating a competitive environment and fostering a positive business environment.

    Renewable Energy Policy in Cities: Sao Paulo, Brazil, Case Study

    CITY IN FOCUS SAO PAULO, BRAZIL Local Government Regulation Ordinances and Laws to Promote Renewable Energy SUMMARY A regulation can be understood as a measure for influencing actors by means of formulated rules and directives, passed by legislation and having the force of law. Conventionally, regulation has been used as a tool to restrict certain undesirable actions. More recently, regulation is being used to promote desirable actions or to influence a desirable outcome without the narrowly prescrip- tive details of how the action should be implemented. When used in this manner, regulation can stimulate innovation and encourage a transition to renewable energy (RE) solutions. The Solar Ordinance of Sao Paulo, for instance, requires new residential, commercial and industrial buildings to install solar water heating systems (SWH) to cover at least 40% of the energy used for heating water. It is part of the municipal building code and is in-line with the national energy framework. The Solar Ordinance has stimulated market demand for an innovative RE technology and resulted in significant net savings among a wide array of stakeholders and a reduction in the production costs of SWH. By 2015, it will allow for a reduction of around 35,000 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) from the city’s residential sector and 200 gigawatt hours (GWh) in electricity consumption. It is currently been replicated in cities across Brazil.

A localidade era conhecida por "Passagem da Barra", cuja a denominação foi motivada por um sítio denominado Barra, localizado na outra margem do Rio Pajeú. Com o crescimento da sede da fazenda, havia uma vez por mês, celebração religiosa, realizada pelo então padre José Antônio Ibiapina, que vinha da vila de Baixa Verde (Triunfo), com destino a cidade de Ingazeira. Numa dessas visitas pastorais, no último sábado do mês, o padre Ibiapina realizou um casamento de uns noivos provenientes do sítio Dois Riachos, os quais, quando atravessavam o referido Rio Pajeú, que estava num período de cheia, pereceram afogados no local. Isto ocorreu por volta do ano 1840, quando o local passou a ser conhecido por "Passagem dos Afogados". Em virtude da Lei Provincial në 1403 de 12 de maio de 1879, a "Passagem de Afogados" foi denominada simplesmente de "Vila de Afogados", a qual posteriormente foi designada popularmente com "Afogados da Ingazeira" por motivo de pertencer administrativamente ao município de Ingazeira.

Tambosi 2, Alexandre T. Igari 3, Juliana S. Farinaci 4, Jean Paul Metzger 1 and Maria Uriarte 5 ABSTRACT. Agricultural expansion has caused extensive deforestation throughout the tropics in the last decades, nevertheless, some countries have experienced native forest gains. In the 20th century, the state of São Paulo, Brazil, transitioned from an agricultural frontier to an agro-industrial state, and in parallel, from a high deforestation rate to a net gain in native forest. Here we examine the biophysical and socioeconomic factors that best explain land use and forest cover change in the state, at the municipality scale, over four consecutive intervals between 1960 and 2006. We hypothesized that factors that increase the productivity of agricultural land or reduce pressure on land development would lead to regeneration. Although results differed among intervals, our analyses demonstrate that forest gains were greater in municipalities with high forest cover percentage and steep slopes, and in areas that employed a large number of workers and relied on intensive fertilizer inputs. At the same time, forest loss was higher in municipalities with a large portion of agricultural land and soils with higher water retention capacity.

Given its size and tremendous natural resources, Brazil has long had the Peter J. Meyer potential to become a world power and periodically has been the focal point of U.S. policy in Specialist in Latin Latin America. Brazil’s rise to prominence has been hindered, however, by uneven economic American Affairs performance and political instability. After a period of strong economic growth and increased international influence during the first decade of the 21st century, Brazil has struggled with a series of domestic crises in recent years. Since 2014, the country has experienced a deep recession, record-high homicide rate, and massive corruption scandal. Those combined crises contributed to the controversial impeachment and removal from office of President Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016). They also discredited much of Brazil’s political class, paving the way for right-wing populist Jair Bolsonaro to win the presidency in October 2018. Since taking office in January 2019, President Jair Bolsonaro has begun to implement economic and regulatory reforms favored by international investors and Brazilian businesses and has proposed hard-line security policies intended to reduce crime and violence. Rather than building a broad-based coalition to advance his agenda, however, Bolsonaro has sought to keep the electorate polarized and his political base mobilized by taking socially conservative stands on cultural issues and verbally attacking perceived enemies, such as the press, nongovernmental organizations, and other branches of government.

    Geographies of Contemporary Childhoods in Brasilia/Brazil

    Papers infancia_c ISSN 2254-5565 | November 2016, Number 15 Geographies of contemporary childhoods in Brasilia/Brazil Fernanda Müller Rhaisa Naiade Pael Farias University of Brasilia Campus Darcy Ribeiro 70910900 - Brasilia, DF - Brasil E-mails: [email protected] / [email protected] This paper derives from an empirical research project conducted with children from Brasilia on their urban experiences. A preliminary version was presented in the San Diego State University Geography Department Colloquia Series in April 2016. We are grateful to CAPES and FINATEC for financial support. Abstract Studies from different fields suggest that contemporary childhood experiences in unplanned cities are increasingly lived in a fragmented way (Valentine, 1997; Mikkelsen; Christensen, 2009). However, how do children experience a city that was actually planned to be functionally fragmented? The article pursues some answers to this main question. It also proposes a contrast between Lucio Costa’s 1957 Brasilia master plan and the tridimensional wooden block cities built by children. The first section argues that, after 56 years, the master plan and especially its superblocks concept have failed to guarantee economic and social equality in Brasilia. The second session revises the map-like model approach showing how different elements of children’s lives in Brasilia were captured when they built their cities. The third session explores the idea of hybrid cities upon the recognition of how children express emotions; desires; fears; and also reference real cities when they create imagined ones. Keywords: Brasilia - map-like model - Childhood - Geographies of children - Geography of emotions. Right from the outset of his mandate, in 1956 when he had only recently taken office, Juscelino Kubitscheck, President of the Republic of Brazil, decided to implement a project that foresaw the changing of the location of the Federal District which at the time was in Rio de Janeiro.

    The Slave Population in Pernambuco, Brazil, 1560-1872: a Macrodemographic Reconstruction

    Heitor P. de Moura Filho The Slave Population in Pernambuco, Brazil, 1560-1872: A Macrodemographic Reconstruction Abstract This paper exposes a demographic model to represent the evolution of the population of African slaves brought to the province of Pernambuco, Brazil, from 1560 to 1872, including their descendants. The main conclusion at this stage of the research is the confirmation that realistic combinations of mortality and fertility parameters, in a spreadsheet-based simulation, succeed in generating populations of size and distribution by age and sex that fit with those of Brazil’s first nationwide census, in 1872. Such combinations of parameters also reinforce the thesis that the slave trade was the main motor for the growth of the slave population and its descendants in that region.

Arquitetura s/n; Cidade Universitária; 50730-540; [email protected]; Recife - PE - Brazil ABSTRACT Mesozooplankton abundance and distribution at Suape Bay, Pernambuco, was studied to assess the impacts caused by the construction of an internal port to increase the capacity of the Suape Port Complex. Zooplankton sampling was done at 3 stations during the dry (November-December/1997) and rainy (April-May/1998) seasons. A plankton net with 300 µm mesh size was used. Wet weight plankton biomass ranged from 44 mg.m-3 to 3,638 mg.m-3. Forty- five macrozooplankton taxa were registered. The most abundant was Copepoda. Among copepods, Acartia lilljeborgi, Parvocalanus crassirostris, Oithona hebes, Corycaeus (C.) speciosus and Temora turbinata were most frequent. Minimum abundance was 9 ind.m-3 and maximum was 2,532 ind.m-3. Average species diversity was 2.55 bits.ind-1. As a whole, Suape Bay has been under severe environmental stress and it seemed reasonable to assume that the recent modifications of the basin have resulted in changes in species composition and trophic structure, with an increase in marine influence. Key words: Mesozooplankton, Copepoda, human impacts, Suape Port Complex INTRODUCTION After the port’s implementation, ecological studies carried out from 1986 to 1994 by the Departament On the coast of Pernambuco State, Brazil, an of Oceanography of the Federal University of industrial port complex was created in 1979/1980 Pernambuco focussed on the estuary of the Ipojuca as an attempt to solve the collapse of the State’s River, the main freshwater source in the area, in economy.
