RUSSIAN SMALL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN CONDITIONS OF YOUTH PROFESSIONALIZATION CRISIS
Get PDFYoung people represent the main source for development and realization of innovative features of small business and entrepreneurship. In the full knowledge of youth role in Russian innovative entrepreneurship development, it has two strikes against from the point of view of trade strategies and skills implementation in professional field. This is one of the factors of reproduction crisis and inefficient trajectory of Russian small business and entrepreneurship development. This factor determines the importance of sociological understanding of the problem through the prism of youth professionalization process in conditions of the modern labor market and socio-economic crisis. Methodological apparatus of Russian small business and entrepreneurship research in the context of youth professionalization crisis is based on the theory of professionalization, explaining the risks of youth deprofessionalization from the standpoint of professional identity and professional socialization destruction. Methodological background to this work was also based on neoinstitutional approach, reflecting the trajectory of business and entrepreneurship on the basis of prevailing socio-economic practices and activity approach, which presents a professional as a subject of social action. The study concludes that the youth interest to small business and entrepreneurship as an independent professional activity, promising a stable income and financial independence, cannot be realized on grounds of the following key reasons: 1) extremely unfavorable social and economic conditions for business and entrepreneurship development; 2) the youth professionalization crisis defines inappropriate (in conditions of contemporary labor market reality) level of youth professional training. The obtained results allow to raise the acute question about development of youth business and entrepreneurship in the light of mainstreaming the issue of youth professionalization as the source of a larger scale problem - the low degree of youth innovative potential realization. This potential is inherent in the very nature of the young people who socialize in the digital era. They are able and will to quickly master all the new things and be resilient in professional field. The solution to youth professionalization problem will overcome the risks of deprofessionalization which are so clear in Russian society, including the sphere of small business and entrepreneurship, which has low social responsibility and is oriented towards quality standards in its activities
ANÁLISE DO POTENCIAL TURÍSTICO DO POLO SERIDÓ, RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, BRASIL
Get PDFEste estudo teve o objetivo de realizar uma análise do potencial turístico de 4 municípios do Polo Seridó (Caicó, Cerro Corá, Currais Novos e Lagoa Nova), localizados no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, região Nordeste do Brasil. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem quantitativa, com caráter exploratório e descritivo, ao ponto que a metodologia foi baseada em: delimitação dos recortes temporal e espacial; levantamento bibliográfico e documental; seleção de dados; e análise do potencial turístico dos municípios selecionados. Além do mais, para uma melhor compreensão da análise do potencial turístico do Polo Seridó, realizou-se a Matriz SWOT, de forma que essa ferramenta de análise do ambiente ou cenário, demonstra as forças e fraquezas (em relação ao cenário interno) e as oportunidades e ameaças (em relação ao cenário externo). Ao final, pode-se concluir que o Seridó Potiguar, tem potencialidade turística expressiva, demonstrada através de sua gastronomia, artesanato, hospitalidade, cultura e história, identidade e sentimento de pertença do povo seridoense, contudo, a região ainda possui diversos entraves para a concretude, implementação e ações direcionadas ao desenvolvimento turístico regional e, neste contexto, é imperioso que haja uma maior participação integrada da sociedade civil, iniciativa privada e gestão pública, no intuito de elaborar um modelo de desenvolvimento turístico, sob a perspectiva de se discutir sobre os pontos fortes e fragilidades das localidades para proposição de possíveis melhorias para alavancar a atividade turística e, com isso, poder gerar benefícios reais para modificar e beneficiar realidades concretas
EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL E ROTEIRIZAÇÃO: PROPOSTA DE “CAMPUS-TOUR DO MORRO DO CRUZEIRO DA UFOP”, OURO PRETO (MG)
Get PDFA educação ambiental (EA) é uma temática recorrente no dia a dia, porém sua prática aparenta ser distante do cotidiano das pessoas. Neste sentido a disciplina de Educação Ambiental Aplicada ao Turismo do curso de bacharelado em Turismo da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP) buscou elaborar um “campus-tour” via levantamento de Lugares de Interesse de Educação Ambiental (LIEA) no Campus Universitário Morro do Cruzeiro em Ouro Preto (MG) com vistas a sensibilizar alunos para a EA. A metodologia contou com etapas de escritório e de campo. Na primeira buscou-se revisão bibliográfica por meio de publicações de educação ambiental, trabalhos de campo em campi universitário e roteirização turística; e análise da percepção de 17 estudantes pelo relatório de campo. Na segunda o trabalho de campo a pé por 7 LIEA de temáticas de EA diversas. Os resultados apontam que: os discentes consideram o trabalho de campo como importante na prática; que aprenderam mais de EA; e que o Campus da UFOP tem potencial para roteiros interpretativos, mas que necessita de sinalização e capacitação para guiamento de estudantes e visitantes. Espera-se que a pesquisa possa colaborar para a sustentabilidade do Campus da UFOP, assim como ensino-aprendizagem para servidores públicos, alunos e visitantes

DISTÂNCIA ENTRE CARGOS E SALÁRIOS DE HOMENS E MULHERES: INFLUÊNCIA DO GÊNERO NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO DO TURISMO
Get PDFA atividade turística é vista na bibliografia, especialmente, com foco econômico, como geradora de empregos e voltada ao uso de mão-de-obra feminina. Entretanto, estudos em diversos países, apontam que ainda persiste uma distância entre homens e mulheres, especialmente no que diz respeito a salários. Em um levantamento recente realizado no Brasil com egressos de cursos superiores de turismo, percebeu-se que para além das diferenças salariais, as posições ocupadas por homens e mulheres dão indícios de distinção, pendendo favoravelmente aos homens. Esta realidade inclui o setor público, o que surpreende uma vez que nas políticas públicas é prevista a equidade entre gêneros. O estudo que segue trata da questão de gênero no mercado de trabalho em turismo, buscando identificar questões culturais que afetam a aplicabilidade das políticas de igualdade de gênero. Os levantamentos teóricos incluem publicações internacionais recentes acerca do tema, bem como relatórios da Organização Internacional do Trabalho e do Fórum Econômico Mundial, comparando-os a dados primários que tratam do mercado de trabalho em turismo no Brasil. Os principais resultados apontam uma reprodução no turismo da lógica laboral de disparidade salarial entre gêneros como reflexo dos cargos ocupados nas organizações, públicas ou privadas, de forma distinta por homens e mulheres. As conclusões preliminares indicam que a adequação legal do mercado de trabalho esbarra em questões arraigadas na cultura que demonstram a hegemonia do mundo masculino do trabalho

Features and Benefits of the Methodology Investigation of Soil and Groundwater Ecological State
Get PDFModern technogenic impact increases an irreversible change on the current state of the soils of Ukraine. Ecological status of soil and groundwater causes significant concerns. Due to the relevance of this problem, the methodology of the study of the soil and groundwater ecological state, consisting of a complex of experimental research and analytical calculations, was developed and presented in the article. The complete cycle of techniques is presented with a demonstration of examples of an analysis of actual soil and groundwater samples, selected in one locality. To determine the content of other components of groundwater, the analytical-calculation method has been applied. The presented cycle of pedagogical methods provides an opportunity to teach students of ecology to master the methods of experimental study of the ecological state of soil and groundwater while receiving the skills of analytical and accounting character and carrying out scientific research work. The methodology allows to determine the actual environmental state of the main components of the environment quickly and accurately.
