Environmental Awareness: Native american and Brazilian perspectives The aim of this presentation is to discuss the issue of sustainability from the perspective of Native American and Native Brazilian writers. Authors from different indigenous groups located in-between Indian and Western cultures, oral and written traditions, reflect upon relationships with the land, with the ‘other’, and discuss the way the current generation deals with issues that will affect future generations. Thus, their literature portrays how indigenous populations interact with the Earth, with human and non-human beings. Literary works produced by Native authors focus on how Native nations of the Americas construct the concept of place, build their societies and identities around this idea and define the role of ancient traditions in raising environmental awareness. Such works contribute to the cultural sustainability of these indigenous groups as well, as they show how ancient oral cultures negotiate their presence and interaction in a multicultural contemporary society. environmental awareness. native america. native brazilian.

Sustainability and Tourism at the Itaipu power plant The Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant was not designed for being a tourist attraction, but it arose the interest of visitors since the beginning of the construction, and has received more than 19 million people since 1977. In 2003, the tourism concern was inserted in the company mission, as well as the care for the sustainable development of the region. Nowadays, Itaipu works in several tourism front activities: the service was outsourced and the Tourist Complex was created, offering 8 attractions, some of them provide environmental education for the community; free institutional visits are also available, rural tourism is encouraged in the reservoir region; sportive events are promoted and partnerships aiming the publicizing and administration of the Iguaçu Destination are established. This study targets on analyzing, from the longitudinal exam, how the actions related to the several tourism fronts initiated by Itaipu have impacted in the economic, environmental and social sustainability dimensions. sustainability pillars. tourism.

The importance of sustainability in organizational strategies This paper aims to present a theoretical contextualization of sustainability in organizations, linking it to organizational strategies. The research is justified from a practical point of view by the fact that contribute to a better understanding of the actions of sustainability and its importance in strategic management. To this end, we used the literature search method. The results show that companies that want to survive in a competitive market full of uncertainty, rapid and constant change while maintaining sustainability, need to constantly align their strategies to remain competitive. It is in this scenario that are spread the concepts of strategy and corporate sustainability. It was concluded that companies that adopt sustainable attitudes incorporated into its strategic objectives, are more likely to have better results and gain competitive advantage in the market.

Epistemological contributions to the study of sustainability The pillars theory represents a theme over which the sustainability field of study has been developed and gained expression. Several researches have used its bases to amplify and refine the discussion about this theme, making possible the interface with other fields of study in administration – such as strategy, entrepreneurship and innovation management, for example – and in economy – such as the economic development range. Moreover, sustainability constitutes an independent subject, not only in national, but also in international congresses. The target of this essay consists in investigating from three demarcation criteria – the paradigms of Kuhn, the Popper Falseacionism and the Research Programs of Lakatos – the scientific character of the sustainability theme, based on the pillars theory. To accomplish this, a careful and systematic review of the literature will be done, using as references the principal journals of the subject.

Environmental Bioethics Committees as public spaces for deliberation The relationship between humans and the environment was constituted as an ethical problem in the twentieth century, when the field of atomic and biological technologies and the development economic processes indicated that the humanity acquired the power to change deeply or even destroy the planet. The bioethics was consolidated as the field of ethics applied to moral conflicts of biological and life sciences. This project found a trend consolidation of an “environmental bioethics� which brings together the relationship man-environment in a wider key questioning that includes interpersonal, social, economic and political dimensions of moral conflicts. This way, it can contribute in the public sphere deliberation spaces, such as in Environmental Bioethics Committees, inspired by the models the Ethics in Human Research. Therefore it can development guidelines for individual or institutional decisions, encouraging that public and private managers in the educational, regulatory, supervisory and supporters instances are able to participate in the search for answers to socio-environmental problems that go beyond mere compliance with formal laws, but which involve ethical understanding of mutual responsibility between all involved in web interpellations that make up the phenomenon of life on the planet. ecology. environment. bioethics. background. trends.

A maturity model for sustainable management
The lack of a management model capable of translating complex concepts into organizational capabilities is one of the main difficulties associated with integrating sustainability in organizations. Seen in these terms , the mapping of sustainability maturity levels proves to be relevant, it enables the organization not only recognize its stage in relation to the adoption of sustainable principles, but mostly mapping allows improvement toward higher levels. By acknowledging its stage, the necessary steps or requirements for reaching the following level become more apparent. In this perspective, when the levels of sustainability maturity are established, the implementation of a sustainable corporate management is significantly favored. The adoption of sustainable principles finds, in the validation of a maturity model, a useful tool that will enable organizations to carry out the transition from discourse to sustainable practice. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose and validate a maturity model focused on sustainability, making use of methodological tools similar to the ones used in other consolidated maturity models. This challenge will require efforts regarding literature review and empirical research, both qualitative and quantitative. maturity model. implementation. organizational strategy. sustainability.

SESSION II New models of spacial planning
Public Management of Real state valuation and the right to sustainable cities in Brazil The value of urban land under a privatized point of view, is understood as the result inherent to ownership, generating a common sense that it is up to the owner, unique and alone accumulate gains from public and private investments. This research aims to address the issue of appropriation of urban value under the logic of distributive justice. The aim is to verify the possible inserts in the Master Plans and local legislation, of specific legal instruments aimed at managing this asset by investment recovery and proper distribution of their proceeds. Part of the understanding that the correct planning of investments in both the executive framework like execution of works, such as legislative, like changes of classification standards, land use and occupation, is directly related to the planning of recovery and equitable redistribution of these investments, duty of managers to achieve the standard of sustainable city provided in the Constitution.

Taxation of Urban property, spatial planning and economic inequality Taxation is a legitimate instrument for the implementation of urban policies. In ordinary taxation, citizens contribute according to their economic capacity, with the higher taxation of properties of highest value, located in more expensive areas or destined to commercial use. Differently, the use of taxes with regulatory purposes does not differentiate taxpayers based on ability to pay, taxing according to how much a property meets the requirements of regional planning. Taxation than ceases to be based on economic capacity, since a rich owner that meets urban policy pays less tax. The effectiveness of this measure will be less the greater the economic inequality between taxpayers, or the more rich taxpayers can bear taxation without adapting their properties to urban planning. Thus, inequality is a problem that affects the effectiveness of urban planning regulatory taxation and so it must be considered in the development of city policies.

Strategy Methods for replanning cities
With the cities expansion and overcrowding, society will have to rethink the way that it will be developed in the future to ensure the survival not only economically, but aiming social fair development and environmental preservation. The goal of this article is to present a strategy for replanning cities for the future, through a methodology of local contextualization, risk and opportunities analysis, population needs, scenario development and feasibility testing. In this project it is presented two case studies: the first, in a disabled industry in the city Den Bosch, the Netherlands; and the second, applied to local producers in the state of Paranรก, Brazil. For the elaboration only secondary data was used, together with the assistance of university and local business (Avans Hogeschool and Except Integrated Sustainability, respectively). In order to make a deeper analysis, practical studies should be conducted with more information and technologies.

The Mercocities Network as a New Way of Thinking The Mercocities is a collaborative network established in 1995 comprised of cities located in the countries of MERCOSUL and its associate partners as observer member. It is a network of horizontal cooperation and also an important tool of political and social articulation that approaches the local governments of MERCOSUL. This new way of thinking the integration process is making the procedure of regional integration more democratic. And above all, the Mercocities network show up as a new actor in international environment. Considering the objectives of the Mercocities, one could highlight the mechanisms of exchange good experiences between the member cities. Besides that it is important to establishment of partnerships and services between municipalities, program development in urban planning, economic development, environment and incentivizing to the citizen participation in the exercise of their rights. All in all, this new way of thinking integration procedure, Mercocities innovates as thematic units and working groups, which focus their actions on specific areas. mercocities. integration process. democracy.

Environmental Reports of Curitiba preceding sustainable practices of urban sustainabiltiy The dynamism and complexity of cities incur conflicts and contradictions in the spaces of density concentration of human life. Legal and institutional frameworks are developed to minimize the negative effects of the development of the city in order to instrument the public management of the urban environment with processes and criteria for decision making regarding the use and occupation of the cities. In this framework of laws and regulations, the Studies of Urban Environmental Impact are used as a management tool to support the large scale enterprises licensing processes in Brazilian cities. In the specific case of Curitiba, the city uses the Preliminary Environmental Report (RelatĂłrio Ambiental PrĂŠvio - RAP) as a specific instrument to this goal. The results of the licensing process are terms of engagement between the entrepreneur and the government to mitigate and compensate the negative effects to be generated by licensed enterprises. The aim of this research, by analyzing the respective Commitment Terms for Environmental Reports Preliminary which supported the licensing of enterprises in the city of Curitiba, is to assess the content of these terms in order to identify the intention of the public sector responsible in promoting a favorable city the practices of urban sustainability. sustainability. sustainable practices. urban sustainability

Mobility Solutions for Disaster Management
The issue of urban mobility in large cities has been growing in importance in the context of their management. The complexity in managing this issue is aggravated during occurrences such as emergencies or disasters, where the search for innovative and sustainable solutions in mobility becomes a necessity within the public sphere. Such situations require rapid mobilization of various public entities, actors and systems requiring efficient coordination of activities and information management. Thus, verification and interoperability requirements of services associated with mobility solutions represent a critical factor in the performance of crisis management. Based on a survey of major initiatives and technologies in sustainable mobility around the world, those with a higher level of applicability in Brazil are identified. In this study, importance was given to the major cultural and regional differences considering sustainable bias towards improving the standard of living of the populations involved. mobility solutions. disaster management. complexity ANDERSON FORGIATTO DANIEL AVANZI EDUARDO ROCHA LOURES FERNANDO DESCHAMPS PUCPR

Open Public Spaces and Physical Activity
The objective of this study was to test the association between the availability and accessibility of open public spaces (OPS) with moderate to vigorous leisure time physical activity (MVPA). 699 adults were sampled in Curitiba city, south of Brazil. The MVPA was evaluated and classified among those who have done 10 or more minutes/week and also according the recommendation of adult’s physical activity. An audit tool was used to evaluate the quantity and functionality of equipment and facilities. The Geographic Information System was used to compute the availability and accessibility of OPS. The association between availability and accessibility of OPS considering all three levels situation with physical activity was tested using a binary multilevel logistic regression. The availability and accessibility to OPS were related with MVPA. However, stronger associations were observed just when the characteristics of equipment and facilities within the areas were considered in the analysis. accessibility. open public spaces. physical activity

Challenges and Contradictions of Urban Mobility in Curitiba
This research aims to point out and discuss challenges and contradictions of urban mobility in Curitiba Metropolis second two optical - the metropolitan integration and the use of more sustainable technologies. The innovative experience of Curitiba has become a reference of mobility since the early 70s, from the implementation of BRT model (Bus Rapid Transit) and at the end with the creation of the RIT (Integrated Transport Network). The metropolitan integration of RIT started late in 1996 and led to a policy of access to the metropolis via jobs with better wages, but in 2015, for management problems between governmental levels its management was disintegrated: it starts thus the mobility crisis. Contradictorily, it refers to the same period the approval of the Mobility National Urban Policy and the Statute of the metropolis, which provides for the planning and execution of public functions of common interest and establishing a interfederative governance. metropolitan mobility. metropolitan integration. sustainable mobility technologies.

Bicycles for Sustainable Urban Mobility: A bibliometric study from the past 10 years The bicycle as contribution to a sustainable urban mobility: a bibliometric study of the past 10 years. This research aims to present a bibliometric study on the use of the bicycle as urban mobility tool. As such, we performed a study on scientific articles published on Scielo over the last 10 years, and 15 articles were chosen as final subsample. The findings show the relationships between the bicycle, urban mobility, and other study fields such as health, transport, public policy, and urban infrastructure. We found an increasing number of studies over the last years, including a growing concern by the scientific and academic community. Nevertheless, studies about the theme are still scarce and the absence of incentives and policies from the government and the lack of claims from the population eventually alert that this concern is restricted to the academic environment.

The Ciclovida Program: A contribution to sustainable mobility Traffic jam, disasters and pollution (sound, environmental and visual), are problems resulting from the current mobility culture, that prioritizes the individual automobile transportation. Good practices to mitigate this impact have been developed at the Federal University of Parana, throughout Universitary Program Ciclovida, which encourages a new culture of sustainable urban mobility, especially through the use of bicycles transportation. This article presents the case study of the Ciclovida, analyzing their strategies and actions, through literature, documents and participant action. The results presents how Ciclovida´s inclusion of this theme in curriculum subjects, supporting and encouraging academic research, publications and infrastructure development of the campus contributes to the university; besides that, it also examines how it deals with the external community: through lectures, participation in interdisciplinary technical groups and other forms of cooperation, giving the program an important role as a hub of discussions and actions to the culture of sustainable mobility. sustainable mobility. cycling. mobility culture.

Bicycle Mobility: Sustainable actions in the social, structural and symbolic dimension The problem of urban mobility is one major challenge to be overcome in big cities. In the search for solutions, the bicycle is a democratic transport modality important to mobility. This paper presents an analytical theoretical study on the sensory aspects involving the social engagement of cycling as transportation. The research problem concerns whether the bicycle as a sustainable mobility vehicle can be considered efficient in face of the pressure from the urban expansion. The main objective of the study is the discussion about cycle-mobility actions. For this, from a literature review, the study investigates actions held in various cities compared to those held in Curitiba PR, demonstrating that, transcending the need of utility, the use of bicycles adds values, generating sociocultural, environmental, and moral changes. This interpretation induces a variety of other networks that add meaning as a potential of communication for a mutual and democratic conscience.

A data mining approach for studying air pollution and respiratory diseases
The rapid and unplanned growth of cities increases air pollution with a negative impact on respiratory health. This research recently initiated proposes a methodology to elucidate the spatial patterns of adverse air quality in urban centers and the consequences on public health. Some partial results from the air quality index (AQI) seasonality are described. In Curitiba the worst months are February and September when IQA-REGULAR peaks. In Araucaria the worst month is October when the IQA-REGULAR exceeds 50% of the time. Colombo has the worst scenario and values greater than 10% for IQA-INADEQUATE occur more than 2/3 of the year (level with negative effects to the local public health). The different seasonal patterns indicate that the temporal phenomena are differently explained in those cities. Due to the phenomena complexity is beneficial to increase the number of involved taxonomies, such as land use, urban mobility, cars and industries pollution, among others. urban management. air pollution. respiratory diseases. data mining

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products: guidelines for disposal Urbanization and concentrated anthropic activity pushed modern cities to an expressive enlargement with water being misused as sewage diluter ever since. Great amounts of pharmaceuticals and personal care products are disposed in domestic and hospital sewage with underestimated effects. Such substances are now classified as micropollutants and governments, regulatory agencies, and the academia are seriously concerned about it. Environmental and health impacts are partially known and the accumulated data predict a non-favorable scenario. Hormones, endocrine disruptors, and antibiotics demand special attention once there is not an efficient universal treatment protocol to remove them completely from the sewage.

REPORT
A major five-day symposium, Cities, Health and Wellbeing, was held at the PUCR campus, Curitiba, Paranå, Brazil, from 28 September to 2 October of 2015. It was made possible by a growing partnership between PUCPR, Università di Ferrara, and a number of other universities connected through the ROUTES towards Sustainability Network. The ROUTES Network has as its mission the enhancement of conceptual innovations within the paradigm of sustainability, with a focus on urban sustainability and across all the domains of social life — ecological, economic, political and cultural. To this end the symposium was directed towards fostering research into principles and practices of sustainability. It aimed to consolidate and enhance international co-operation among universities. Scholars and researchers came together to share theoretical knowledge and practical experience about urban sustainability, health, physical, material and cultural wellbeing, ranging from questions of climate change to eco-efficiency and alternative energies to issues concerning mobility, planning, air and water pollution, hi-tech innovation, globalization and economic development. Papers directed towards this end have tackled disaster management and post-disaster reconstruction, urban mobility, circles of sustainability, the relationships between city and university, views about and policies for sustainable cities. The integrating objective was to explore theory and practice directed towards enhancing the quality and sustainability of urban life. The specific focus of the symposium was to improve health and wellbeing in our urban world.

Report
METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK The Routes Network is engaged in working across disciplines and fields of knowledge to test the notion that cities are the niche of humanity and therefore the ideal sites - gymnasiums as well as battlefields - where the challenges of sustainability call for intervention. Within this framework the aim is to respond positively to the metamorphoses of urban spaces, the ecosystem, and the complexity of glocal, intercultural contexts by generating theoretical thought and good practices. In their collective discussion during the ROUTES 2015 Symposium the university representatives made clear a series of key concepts that inform the nature of the network. In order to realize these principles, the Routes Network must keep working to enlarge and consolidate an intergenerational and interdisciplinary network, sharing its research across interconnected lines of engagement, and developing inter-relational methodologies that help us to understand present and emerging complexities. The 2015 Routes symposium at PUCPR gave an opportunity for committed people representing international academia, regional institutions and the government to share their problems and knowledge, to identify both the commonalities of the human condition and the differences of dispersed geographical situations. Sharing the awareness that dedicated work is essential to the realization of the next steps, representatives of the Routes Network and participants in the Curitiba symposium have identified areas for improvement. In particular, attentions has been drawn to the main features of the Network, namely its wide scope and multiple tasks. In order to overcome the risk of fragmentation, the Network will strongly pursue integration of various orientations towards specific research foci.

THE NATURE OF THE NETWORK
INTERDISCIPLINARY The Routes Network has founded its methods and goals on the notion of interdisciplinarity, indicating the dialectical relationships between scientists and humanities scholars and between their respective methods of inquiry. Within a perspective of mutual exchange, the dialogue between disciplines enhances awareness of conceptual categories and hermeneutic tools qualifying each. This is not to diminish the importance of particular disciplines and their focussed expertise, but to suggest that scholars and practitioners with different disciplinary backgrounds need to work within and across the boundaries of those fields.
INTERCONNECTED Given the complexity of an urbanizing world, working on questions of urban sustainability requires collaboration and connection across different cities, communities, national and regional institutions. The Routes Network gets much of its strength from bringing scholars together from different places in the world to engage in comparative dialogue.

Report
INTER-RELATIONAL The flourishing sustainability of cities depends upon more than singular points of focus. Positive sustainability depends upon working across all the domains of social life in an integrated or inter-relational way, taking into account the complex intersection of ecological, economic, political and cultural domains.
INTERGENERATIONAL The Routes Network is committed to bringing together different cohorts of scholars together and thriving on the research of junior and senior academics and the formation and training of students interested in sustainability.
INTERCULTURAL The Routes Network is guided by the assumption that sustainability entails a shift in the frame of mind and requires strengthening social awareness. The Routes Network adopts interculturality in order to develop an interface between different cultural expressions which exemplify diversity and pluralism. Interculturality presupposes that sustainable development resonates through manifold forms of culture representing diverse social groups.
