Resumo: O agronegócio de flores e plantas ornamentais está se consolidando no Brasil. O perfil do produtor brasileiro é de pequeno porte e caracterizado como agricultura familiar. A produção de flores e plantas ornamentais tem um papel importante na economia, gerando empregos e distribuindo melhor a renda. No Distrito Federal a produção de floricultura é realizada pelo pequeno produtor e por sua família, tornando-a assim agricultura familiar. Esta pesquisa tem caráter exploratório e descritivo e foi realizada com o auxílio de um questionário misto para descrever e avaliar o perfil socioeconômico do produtor de flores e plantas ornamentais do Distrito Federal. A análise dos dados foi realizada pela análise estatística bidimensional para testar e validar os resultados obtidos. Os resultados em relação ao sexo dos produtores de flores e plantas ornamentais foram: homens (24,34%) com pelo menos 2 membros da família (16,98%), e para a produção de mudas, as mulheres (16,98%), com mais de 2 membros da família (13,21%). O estado civil dos produtores de flores divide-se em casados (58,82%) e solteiros (23,33%). Concluiu-se que o perfil socioeconômico do produtor de flores e plantas ornamentais é de caráter misto, agricultura familiar, sinais de amadorismo e não possui renda exclusivamente advinda da produção.

Summary: Beliefs, social rules, and food taboos influence the emotions we feel about food, determining our attitudes and consumption behaviors. The more a product represents values considered important to individuals, the greater the chance of being chosen for consumption. This article aimed to investigate levels of zoophagy and sarcophagy to propose an index to understand consumers' attitudes towards beef. Three hundred and eighty-five people answered a structured questionnaire that allowed them to assess personality traits and attitudes that can explain beef consumption, as well as its rejection. Factor analysis was the analytical model chosen to construct the attitude determination index. For the construction of the General Degradation Index (GDI), an attitude determination index associated with the degree of zoophagy was built first. The results indicate that extroversion, individualism, festivity, and immediacy were the traits that best characterized positive attitudes towards beef. On the other hand, negative attitudes of introspection, reflection, emotional character, and concern for the future marked the responses of those who answered.

Abstract: Smart Tourism is the main component of current destinations, however, there are severe difficulties for its application in small destinations. This problem is essential in the case of rural tourism. Taramundi is one of the most important rural destinations in Spain. There are two surveys about tourists conducted in 2016 and 2019. These surveys are about obtaining data on changes in the behavior of tourists in the dynamic field of mobile technologies. The results indicated the importance of the smartphone for rural tourism, the temporary growth in the use of its tourist utilities, and most importantly, the technological applications that improve the enjoyment stay. The rural tourist does not abandon the use of pre- and post-travel regarding Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), but the interest in Tics during travel increases significantly. Specifically, the App of Destiny is the central element of smart rural tourism, seeing that it should focus on the increase of new technographic utilities for tourists. In the perspective of Gretzel (2018), the application of the concept of Smart Tourist Destination is impossible in rural areas. However, with a specialization approach, rural destinations must work towards the goal of “smartification.”
