Spatiotemporal dynamics of waterborne and foodborne disease outbreaks in Brazil
Waterborne and foodborne diseases (WFD) represent a relevant public health challenge, especially in countries marked by social and sanitary vulnerabilities. This study analysed the spatiotemporal dynamics of WFD outbreaks in the country to support surveillance and control strategies. This population-based ecological study uses data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health on WFD outbreaks reported between 2007 and 2023. Spatial patterns were analyse…

Spatial analysis of hospital-related mortality due to Covid-19 among children and adolescents in Brazil
The objective was to perform a spatial analysis of the hospital mortality rate (HMR) due to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) attributed to COVID-19 among children and adolescents in Brazil from 2020 to 2021. A cluster method was used to group federal units (FUs) based on HMR. In 2020, clusters with high HMRs were formed by north/northeast FUs. In 2021, there was a reduction in HMR. Clusters with higher rates remained in the N/NE region. R…
The challenge of proving causality in lawsuits for pesticide contamination
Despite the long history of research into the risks caused by the extensive use of pesticides to the environment and human health, it is still very difficult to identify the causal link between the event and the damage, that is, proving that a certain product, on that occasion, caused that damage. The present work aims to analyze this difficulty in liability suits for pesticide contamination, as this evidence is essential for the lawsuit to be su…
A comorbidade tuberculose-diabetes no Brasil, 2012-2018
Objetivo. Descrever a distribuição espacial da comorbidade tuberculose-diabetes e identificar os determinantes sociais da dupla carga no período de 2012 a 2018 no Brasil. Métodos. Este estudo ecológico utilizou os municípios como unidade de análise. Incluíram-se todos os casos de tuberculose notificados de 2012 a 2018 ao Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação. Como determinantes, foram analisadas variáveis socioeconômicas de emprego, ren…
River basin governance enabling pathways for sustainable management
Successful river basin governance is challenged by actor engagement in the various stages of planning and management. A governance approach for determining priorities for actors for sustainable management was developed, based on a river basin diagnostic framework consisting of four social-institutional and four biophysical indicators. It was applied in river basins in Australia, Brazil, China and France. Actors diagnosed current and target capaci…
Social justice and sustainable regional development
Considerations are presented on discourses and practices of public policies and public budget, regarding territorial development. The considerations are based on the author's experience in government institutions, at state and national level, in the executive and legislative powers in Brazil. This experience is compared to theoretical and applied studies on sustainable regional development, including agrarian reform, small-scale farming, ecologic…
Avaliação de Liquens para Biomonitoramento de Impacto Ambiental da Distância de uma Rodovia sobre um Fragmento de Mata Atlântica em Barueri, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil
Este artigo avalia o impacto do tráfego da Rodovia Castelo Branco sobre líquens epifíticos em um Parque de Mata Atlântica no Município de Barueri, no Brasil. A investigação a avalia como a distância à rodovia influencia a diversidade e a cobertura de tronco de grupos morfofuncionais selecionados de líquens sensíveis. A amostragem e as mensurações foram baseadas no protocolo da União Europeia para biomonitoramento com liquens, adaptado para flores…

Disaster risk management and hydrographic basin analysis
Geotechnical maps of suitability for urbanization can provide directives for land use in terms of susceptibility to disasters. This paper presents methodological innovations for the development of these maps by incorporating hydrographic basin analysis in a case study conducted in the municipality of Itapevi. The Shalstab (Shallow Slope Stability) model evaluated the susceptibility of an area to landslides and correlated events. Wet zones were ma…
Multivariate Geovisualization of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya Cases in Brazil
In recent decades, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the vector of dengue, Zika, chikungunya and other diseases, has become an increasing concern in Brazil and other tropical countries. However, the spatial distribution of these diseases in Brazil is not homogeneous, implying that there are distinct risk levels and various guiding strategies for fighting these diseases. This paper presents a didactic exploratory multivariate spatial data analysis of de…

Campos De Altitude, Campos Rupestres E Aplicação Da Lei Da Mata Atlântica
Apresenta-se uma discussão sobre a identificação, delimitação, caracterização e proteção legal dos ambientes campestres em altitude, rupestres e não-rupestres. Em especial, afere-se a aplicação do arcabouço normativo da Lei Federal no 11.428, de 2006, (Lei da Mata Atlântica) a esses ambientes. São realizados mapeamentos prospectivos para o Estado de Minas Gerais e para o Quadrilátero Ferrífero, avaliando as tipologias vegetacionais campestres, as…
The songs of the Violated Vereda Wetlands in the nooks of brazilian savannah backlands
This reportseeks to present the outcome of exchanges conducted within the event, Songs of Violated Vereda Wetlands (Veredas Violadas), the most recent celebration of the Sagarana Festival: Becoming Guimarães Rosa for the Backlands (como Rosa para o Sertão), 2 in November 2012.Topics for discussion included conceptual and cultural aspects, and public policies on the ecosystems of vereda wetlands. Special emphasis wasplaced on the perception of tra…
Mapeamento de mata atlântica e planejamento do Projeto de Assentamento de Reforma Agrária Tanque Rompe-Dia, município de Várzea da Palma, Minas Gerais, Brasil
It is not easy to conciliate environment protection with land access democratization, moreover where there are remaining fragments of Atlantic tropical forest and karst. In such special context, this paper presents an environmental report and a map of Atlantic tropical forest in the settlement called Tanque Rompe-Dia, at Vrzea da Palma municipality, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. These studies became the framework for proposals on sustainable develo…
From zoning to territorial environmental management
The environmental impacts of sand mining in hillsides of the North of Minas Gerais State have led to social unrests, discussed at Minas Gerais State North Regional Collegiate Unity of the State Council of Environmental Policy -COPAM. Aiming at better supporting the discussions and bringing about proposals to the conflict resolution, an environmental vulnerability zoning related to such undertakings was elaborated. This zoning considered variables…
