Objective: The present work aims to analyze the territorial inequalities of public policies for access to water through the territorial approach. Theoretical framework: This study is conducted based on theoretical reflections about geographic knowledge about space and territory, the latter as primordial in the analysis of power relations in the management, access and use of water. The theoretical framework uses the contributions of some of the authors who discuss the territory, among them: Haesbaert (2004), Folcault (1989) Saquet (2010) and Araújo (2000). Method: It is based on the use of data collection with mapping and theoretical discussion. It seeks to analyze the inequalities and diversities of territorialities in the territory(ies), inquiries are made about territorial development through public policies mediated with the contributions of geographic science, data collection on the construction of cisterns is used in the northeast of Brazil, as well as the mapping of areas most affected by droughts in the northeast. Results and conclusion: As a result, the theoretical analysis of approaches to territorial development and public policies allied to geographic knowledge permeates the production of space and the phenomena caused in rural areas. Research implications: We understand that the territory is historically built by power relations, the territorial approach to development arises from the proposition of working on intra-regional inequalities with a view to generating social participation and, in parallel, governance of social subjects with power public. Originality/value: This research has social, economic and scientific value due to the originality of the discussions presented.

Purpose: To analyze land use patterns in the municipality of Lábrea from 2000 to 2022. Theoretical framework: Although deforestation is historically related to the strength of agribusiness capital in the state of Mato Grosso, it has currently advanced in a region, which encompasses the states of Acre, Amazonas and Rondônia. Spatial analyzes indicate that the municipality of Lábrea (AM), together with Porto Velho (RO), Apuí and Novo Aripunã are responsible for 52% of the deforestation in a region. Given the above, knowing the patterns of land use in Lábrea helps to identify new occupation frontiers, in addition to showing itself as an indicator of biodiversity loss and threats to traditional peoples. Method/design/approach: The research is a quantitative study using geoprocessing tools, such as ArcGis 10.6 software. The areas of land use were quantified in the period from 2000 to 2022 and a descriptive statistical analysis was carried out in order to verify the variability of deforestation in the defined period. Results and conclusion: The results showed that deforestation in Lábrea in the period from 2000 to 2022 had an average of 248.8 km² reaching its maximum point in 2022, with 700 km² of deforested area. The intensity of land use and occupation runs mainly in its southern portion, being a strong indicator of illegal land appropriation for agricultural development. Research implications: The contribution of the research deals with the knowledge of land use patterns in the municipality of Lábrea, demonstrating critical analysis that will serve as a theoretical basis for the creation of new public policies focused on the balance of land use with regional development. Originality value: This research is original and demonstrates a temporal analysis of land use in a municipality in the southern State of Amazonas and its main implications.

Introduction: The relief acts as a soil formation factor and interferes, even indirectly, in the physical-chemical composition of soils, so that important variations in fertility can occur along a toposequence. In agricultural crops, variations in fertility have a major impact on productivity and production costs, which makes mapping soil fertility important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fertility of soils under different agricultural crops and different points of relief in a mountainous area located in the municipality of Aratuba-CE.
Theoretical reference: Various studies that relate soil types to the landscape show that deeper and more developed soils generally occupy flatter, or top, relief positions, where conditions for water percolation are favored. (ARTUR et al., 2014; SOUZA JUNIOR and DEMATTÊ, 2008). Braga et al. (2015) verified the existence of a correlation between soil fertility and distribution of tree species.
Methodology: The design was in a randomized block in a split-plot scheme, with the plots formed by four cultivation areas, namely: banana trees (A1), banana trees and cashew trees (A2); grass (A3); pigeon pea (A4); and a control area (A5), maintained with natural vegetation. The subplots were formed by three relief positions: top, middle and slope. The physical-chemical variables of the soil were analyzed: pH, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, aluminum, potential acidity, base sum, base saturation, total CEC, effective CTC, PST and soil density.
Results: It was observed that the top areas have greater amounts of nutrients. Studies of this nature can provide indications about the evolution of pedogeomorphological systems in landscapes and enable the planning of the most appropriate and sustainable agricultural exploration.
Conclusion: The top area presents nutrients in greater quantities, compared to the middle and slope, which may indicate that, although this region is more susceptible to leaching, this still occurs initially, to the point of not affecting soil fertility in the area. local.
地形起伏是土壤形成的一个因素,它甚至间接地干扰土壤的物理化学组成,因此在一个地形序列上肥力会发生重大变化。在农业作物方面,肥力的变化对生产力和生产成本有重大影响,因此绘制土壤肥力地图很重要。本研究的目的是评估位于阿拉图巴- ce市的山区不同农作物和不同地形下的土壤肥力。& # x0D;理论参考:将土壤类型与景观联系起来的各种研究表明,较深和较发达的土壤通常位于较平坦或顶部的地形位置,这些位置有利于水的渗透。(ARTUR et al., 2014;SOUZA JUNIOR和DEMATTÊ, 2008)。Braga et al.(2015)证实土壤肥力与树种分布之间存在相关性。

Objective: The purpose of the research is to understand the technological evolution of agriculture over the years and propose a new perspective for the practices that are becoming established in agribusiness. Theoretical framework: The study analyzes agricultural activities practiced from the beginning of agriculture up to the present day to demonstrate the trends that are likely to gain strength in this sector in the coming years. Method: The investigation aimed to be descriptive. Bibliographic and documentary research were used as methodological procedures. Results and conclusion: The findings suggest that the agribusiness sector is transitioning into a novel phase termed Agriculture 6.0, wherein sustainability assumes a pivotal role in business advancement. A paradigmatic shift is observed in production processes, characterized by an ongoing pursuit of ecosystem preservation and restoration, in congruence with the aspirations of future generations for an improved quality of life. Research implications: The proposal of a new technological model that characterizes the evolution of agricultural activities is focused on defining concepts, systems, technologies/services, and areas of study. This enables agribusiness organizations to gain a deeper understanding of the transformations occurring in the macro-environment, thereby considering these aspects in their planning processes. Originality/value: Brazil is one of the world's largest agricultural producers and exporters. Therefore, in order to continue solidifying itself as a sustainable supplier of food, fibers, and other agricultural products, the country needs to remain attentive to the changes demanded by the environment and the trends that are gaining strength in the current scenario.

Purpose: to analyze the perception of the employees of the mixed economy company CASAN regarding the challenges related to the existence of a competitive market in the Brazilian sanitation sector and the preservation of a mostly public management. This article presents the perception of the employees of a Brazilian state mixed economy company regarding its position in a competitive market environment imposed by the new legislation. Remaining mostly public or betting on a greater introduction of private capital is a question answered by employees and which involves the company's ability to overcome the recent challenges in the sector, pressured by privatization movements. The methodology used was the mixed approach, with the case study method, which has considered the internal scenario of the state CASAN, with the participation of 345 employees classified into three functional categories on which the survey technique has been applied, taking as a tool the questionnaire, which is added to the bibliographic review technique. The investigation presents the advance of the phenomenon of privatization in the sector, which has impacted the mission of the state sanitation companies, demanding restructuring that does not deviate from their social and public mission, not associated with the eminent perspective on the profit from the perspective of employees.
Theoretical framework: the article presents support in the specialized literature on the sanitation policy and market in Brazil, and on the position of the sanitation service as a human right.
Method/design/approach: the survey technique was used, with the questionnaire tool applied to 345 employees of the target Company, compared with the bibliographic review.
Results and conclusion: The State Basic Sanitation Companies (CESBs) were launched, especially after Federal Law No. 14,026/2020, to a competitive market, with the requirement of participation in bidding, without resolution of their social charges. However, the majority position of the employees is refractory to privatization or private control of the management of services to overcome the imposed challenges.
Research implications: it presents managers and society with the importance of preserving public capital in sanitation management as a human right, and ways for CESBs to overcome the challenges of the sector based on the perception of employees.
Originality/value: expands the discussions related to the new legislative framework for sanitation in Brazil (Federal Law No. 14,026/2020) presenting implications that risk the existence of the CESBs and a solidarity management model, from the perspective of the employees of the Water and Sanitation Catarinense Company (CASAN) stratified between operational, administrative and bosses/directors employees.

Objective: Analyse the differences in sustainability performance between pasture and confined dairy farms located south of Minas Gerais state. Theoretical framework: It is observed in the literature that the effects of the intensification of dairy production on the three pillars of sustainability are not completely clear, depending on specific locations of production systems and requiring further studies. Method: The performance of six properties in the pasture system and six properties in the confined system was analysed using the Sustainability Indicator in Agro ecosystems (ISA), which uses a set of 21 other indicators grouped into seven sub-indexes involving socioeconomic and environmental dimensions. Results and conclusion: Environmental balance was the dimension with the lowest average final index of the 12 properties; this is explained probably by producers' increased attention to economic and social issues, especially concerning labour inspection. Environmental issues, even with the high interest of society in recent years, do not receive attention with the same intensity as others. Comparing the indicators of the two production systems, productivity was the only one that presented a statistically significant difference, using the Mann-Whitney U test. Research implications: With the survey for calculating the indicators, it was possible to understand the relationship between productivity and socioeconomic and environmental sustainability, in addition to presenting solutions to improve the adequacy of the properties, with actions that will mitigate the vulnerabilities of the properties studied. Originality/value: A better understanding of the effects of increased productivity on the socioeconomic and environmental sustainability of dairy farms.

Theoretical framework: It is observed in the literature that the effects of the intensification of dairy production on the three pillars of sustainability are not completely clear, depending on specific locations of production systems and requiring further studies. Method: The performance of six properties in the pasture system and six properties in the confined system was analysed using the Sustainability Indicator in Agro ecosystems (ISA), which uses a set of 21 other indicators grouped into seven sub-indexes involving socioeconomic and environmental dimensions. Results and conclusion: Environmental balance was the dimension with the lowest average final index of the 12 properties; this is explained probably by producers' increased attention to economic and social issues, especially concerning labour inspection. Environmental issues, even with the high interest of society in recent years, do not receive attention with the same intensity as others. Comparing the indicators of the two production systems, productivity was the only one that presented a statistically significant difference, using the Mann-Whitney U test.

Purpose: The development of a methodological approach for the estimation of the wildfire danger in a protected area, located near a big city, based on the dominant factors contributing to a fire-prone environment and affect fire behavior. Theoretical framework: Vegetation management in protected areas characterized by sprawling of adjacent urban and suburban development patterns, is a complicated task, especially under Mediterranean climate due to the high vulnerability to wildfires. They should aim, among others, to mitigate forest-fire occurrence risk, eliminate the wildfire damages as well as to protect humans, and conserve the high biodiversity of the protected areas. Method: We generated a forest fire occurrence danger zone map based on: i) historical fire data ii) types of vegetation and forest ecosystem characteristics, iii) topographical characteristics, iv) distance from the settlements, and v) distance from the roads. A probability model equation for forest fire occurrence was produced. Wildland-Urban Interface mapping was also considered. Results and conclusion: Four categories of forest fire occurrence danger zones, ranging from very high to low, were classified. The zones with high and very high fire occurrence danger cover a low percentage of the study area (6.84% and 5.76%, respectively). In the very high fire danger zones, Pinus halepensis forest and evergreen sclerophyllous vegetation, prevail. A great part of the Wildland-Urban Interface WUI belongs to the zones of high and very high fire occurrence danger. Research implications: Several silvicultural and policy measures for creating fire-resilient ecosystems and mitigating the possibility of a wildfire occurrence and damages, are suggested. Originality/value: The determined site-specific vegetation management and policy measures are of great importance for land management in similar areas.

Objective: The objectives of this research are to study and analyze Act Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies which does not regulate on the amount of funds for Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility, and the concept of the regulation of Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility in ius to be established. Method: This research applies normative legal research by using library research or secondary data consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal resources. Results and conclusion: Results of the research show that of the regulation of Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSLP) stipulated in Article 74 of Act Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies is aimed at implementing sustainable economic development in order to improve the quality of life and environment useful for the company itself, local community, and community in general. Act Number 40 of 2007 does not explicitly regulate the amount of Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSLP) which must be prepared by the company. The lawmaker only explicitly mentions that its implementation is performed by taking into account propriety and reasonableness. Implication: The People's Representative Council (DPR) needs to determine the amount of the Fund of Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSLP), so there is legal certainty and it has binding power to every company to be borne with the obligation of Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSLP). Currently, there is a vacuum of law because there is uncertainty on the amount of the Fund of Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSLP). So it is deemed necessary to regulate Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSLP)by the local government through Regional Regulation (Perda).
