YOSKOWITZ D. W., GIERMANSKI J. R. and PENA-SANCHEZ R. (2002) The influence of NAFTA on socio-economic variables for the US-Mexico border region, Reg. Studies 36, 25-31. This paper analyses the relationship between the increased levels of trade moving through one of the busiest regions on the southern border of the US and three socio-economic variables: employment; per capita income; and unemployment rates. The authors use non-parametric regression and bootstrapping techniques to measure the significance in the rates of change of the three socio-economic variables versus both time and trade. The growth rates in employment and per capita income are found to be significantly lower post NAFTA while the rate of change in the unemployment rate stays constant. NAFTA US-Mexico border Socio-economic variables YOSKOWITZ D. W, GIERMANSK J. R. et PENA SANCHEZ R. (2002) L'influence de la NAFTA sur des variables socio-economiques aux Etats-Unis: la zone frontaliere mexique, Reg. Studies 36, 25-31. Cet article cherche a analyser le rapport entre la hausse du volume des echanges qui transitent par l'une des regions les plus actives a la frontiere sud des Etats-Unis et trois variables socio-economiques: a savoir, l'emploi, le revenu par tete, et le taux de chomage. On emploie des techniques de regression et de 'bootstrap' non-parametriques pour mesurer l'importance du taux de changement des trois variables socio-economiques sur le temps et par rapport aux echanges. Les taux de croissance de l'emploi et du revenu par tete s'averent nettement inferieurs apres l'establissement de la NAFTA tandis que le taux de changement du chomage reste stable. NAFTA Frontiere americano-mexique Variables socio-economique YOSKOWITZ D. W., GIERMANSKI J. R. und PENASANCHEZ R. (2002) Einflu[beta] des NAFTA auf sozialokonomische Variablen fur das Grenzgebiet von Mexiko und den USA, Reg. Studies 36, 25-31. Dieser Aufsatz analysiert die Beziehung zwischen dem wachsenden Umfang des Handels, der in einer der verkehrsreichsten Regionen an der Sudgrenze der USA getatigt wird, und drei sozio-okonomischen Variablen: Erwerbsfahigkeit, pro-Kopf Einkommen und Erwerbslosigkeitsraten. Die Autoren bedienen sich non- parametrischer Regressions- und 'bootstrapping' Techniken, urn die Signifikanz in den Veranderungsraten der drei soziookonomischen Variablen gegen Zeit und Handel zu messen. Die Wachstumsraten der Erwerbstatigkeit und des pro-Kopf Einkommens erweisen sich als bedeutend geringer nach dem Inkrafttreten des NAFTA, wahrend Veranderungen in der Erwerbslosenrate gleichbleiben.

The objective of the paper was to describe the environmental education actions carried out between 2017 and 2019 by specialists from the Caguanes National Park. It was carried out with the support of other institutions, to sensitize a group of fishermen living in Yaguajay municipality about the importance of protecting natural resources. A plan of activities was designed, focused on integrated coastal zone management. For this, the qualitative methodology was used; it was based mainly on training through workshops for the exchange of experiences, conferences, courses and talks on various topics, with the use of participatory techniques. The Vitoria beach sanitation also took place. We worked with the target group of fishermen, who have acquired knowledge about the environmental problems of the coastal zone with an holistic approach, and the importance of the conservation of biological diversity. As a positive impact, the beginning of an awareness process stands out, taking into account as a premise the integrated management of the coastal zone based on the transformation of environmental problems in the area, where they contribute to their solution.
