A continuidade do processo de desconcentração regional da indústria brasileira nos anos 2000
The article continues the debate on the changes in the regional distribution of Brazilian industry in recent decades. Based on industry data for employment and wages for the period 1997/2007, it identifies an intense process of regional decentralization. Using classical indices of concentration, it appears that the trend identified affects all types of industries, whether traditional, commodities, diffuser or durable goods. The article also proposes the use of a new density index, highlighting some meso-regions where it is relatively high. From the values encountered for the density index some meso-regions located in different regions of the country are selected and their results discussed, which illustrates various situations of apparent success.
Environmental Management in Organizations: Is ISO 14001 Implementation Growing Fast Enough to Improve Environmental Conditions in the Metropolitan Areas of Developing Countries?
planning and management requires extensive knowledge of the three subsystems that constitute the natural world—the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the lithosphere (Gernuks, Buchgeister, & Schebek, 2007; Lima, 2004; Marazza, Bandini, & Contin, 2010). When analysis of these subsystems is combined with an understanding of an area’s evolution in regard to demotechnic growth—the exponential increase in resource consumption driven by population growth and increased use of technology—it is possible to diagnose a region’s situation. This diagnosis should be based on a holistic analysis combining both socioeconomic and environmental data in order to reduce uncertainty when making decisions pertaining to land use as a territory is developed. Vehicular traffic, industrial activity, and urban growth are among the main contributors to environmental degradation (Hughey, Cullen, Kerr, & Cook, 2004) and to socioeconomic stress and degradation. In turn, such degradation compromises the aims of sustainable development,
