Los puntos de vista que en él se exponen reflejan exclusivamente la opinión de ICEI/GVC, por lo tanto no reflejan en ningún caso el punto de vista oficial del MAE. EDITADO EN LA CIUDAD DE ROSARIO, PROVINCIA DE SANTA FE, ARGENTINA EN ABRIL DE 2010, EN EL MARCO DEL PROYECTO “CONSOLIDACIÓN DEL PROGRAMA DE AGRICULTURA URBANA DE LA MUNICIPALIDAD DE ROSARIO: UNA ESTRATEGIA SOCIO-PRODUCTIVA DE LUCHA CONTRA LA POBREZA E INCLUSIÓN SOCIO-ECONÓMICA”.

La agricultura además de producir bienes comerciales, proporciona medios de subsistencia, favorece costumbres alimentarias, sostiene artesanos y productores, define las relaciones comunitarias, acompaña los rituales y ceremonias de los humanos, modifica los ciclos del agua y la naturaleza de los suelos, condiciona el patrimonio vegetal y animal y modela el paisaje.

  • Introducción. 1.1. Tema Y Delimitación . Plan De Marketing De Un Hotel
    Introducción. 1.1. Tema y delimitación. Plan de marketing de un hotel temático categorizado como cuatro estrellas que ofrece un servicio de hospedaje personalizado y de excelencia a aquellos visitantes de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, interesados en conocerla y en particular imbuirse durante su estadía de las características de una actividad profundamente vinculada a la metrópolis, como el fútbol. 1.1.1. Delimitación geográfica. El hotel va a estar situado en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, exactamente en el barrio de Palermo sobre la avenida Scalabrini Ortiz aprovechando un terreno que es propiedad de uno de los socios del emprendimiento. Las ventajas que presenta la ubicación son varias en las que cabe destacar: • Ubicación sobre una de las avenidas más importantes de Buenos Aires. • Prácticamente equidistante de dos estadios emblemáticos: el de River y el de Boca. • Cercanía a casi todos los estadios del ámbito de la zona de Buenos Aires. • Zona de fácil acceso a restaurantes, comercios y principales atractivos turísticos de la ciudad. 1.1.2. Delimitación temporal. El plan de marketing es para la etapa de construcción y funcionamiento del hotel que será a partir del año 2011. 1 1.2. Problema y justificación. El problema inicial a considerar es el de las características hoteleras que debe presentar un hotel temático cuya convocatoria se basa en el fútbol: • ¿Debe enfocarse exclusivamente en el fútbol argentino, sin duda uno de los mejores del mundo? • ¿Debe abordar también el fútbol sudamericano? • ¿Qué elementos se deben incorporar a un hotel de estas características más allá de los que garanticen el objetivo central de un hotel, la excelencia en el servicio al huésped? • ¿Cómo proveer circuitos turísticos futbolísticos relevantes a los huéspedes? Y que se relacionen con la temática del fútbol.

(Lobo) Orensanz1, Francesca Marin2 1 CENPAT-CONICET, Puerto Madryn, Chubut, Argentina. 2 University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland. • The theory of the commons was initially constructed on the basis of relatively simple cases, with strong emphasis on local dynamics • Is it still applicable in more complex situations? What challenges emerge? Valdes Peninsula : tourism & fisheries Multiple user groups, CPRs, and legal frameworks • Small-scale fisheries occurring inside protected areas are typical examples of complex commons • Frequent in Latin America: differing objectives and design Biosphere Reserves in Mexico Reservas Extrativistas in Brazil • Our case study: diving and hand-gathering shellfisheries that operate inside the multiple-use Valdes Peninsula Protected Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site Peninsula Valdes, Argentine Patagonia Protected Area Category VI (IUCN): “with sustainable use of natural resources” • Maintain ecosystems and natural processes • Protect the natural, landscape and cultural heritage • Promote sustainable activities compatible with conservation, like tourism, artisanal fisheries and cattle ranching These fisheries exhibit many conditions conducive to sustainability, from a simple CPR’s perspective: [i] clearly bound region: 800 km2 [ii] geographical setting that facilitates enforcement: remoteness, few landing spots, only one exit rode [iii]

  • Continuing Southern Right Whale Mortality Events at Península Valdés, Argentina

Probably due to the topography and currents of the Península’s large bays, most of the whales that die become stranded on the beaches, allowing for reasonably accurate mortality estimates. Systematic efforts to evaluate SRW health through post-mortem examinations began in 2003. Since then, 291 SRW deaths have been recorded, with peaks in 2005, 2007 and 2008. Ninety percent of beached whales were calves, and most were female. In 2007 and 2008, 83 and 96 whales died and stranded at PV in what are considered the most extreme mortality events ever observed in any baleen whale.

S I WAIT UNTIL THE THEATRE LIGHTS DIM and the lush scarlet curtain rises up into the soaring neoclassic proscenium, I marvel at the stunning painted and gold-leafed domed ceiling with Aits brilliant crystal chandelier hovering above the grand audience hall. I’m seated in one of the dress circle boxes, each with six plush cushioned chairs, divided from the other boxes with a short waist-high wall. Each has its own individual ante-chamber partitioned with lush velvet drapes, where I’m sure many indiscretions evolved during the golden age of opera in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida was performed to mark the building’s lavish opening.
