What facts is there about native amazonians?

The people who call the Amazon rainforest home are known as "native Amazonians". They live by a process called "shifting cultivation", where they live in one area and farm it and move on to a new area when the land is no longer cultivable. This method does not harm the forest and allows it to recover naturally. The native people use the wood and foliage of the forest to build huge houses. They cut down trees to create farmland and gain the materials they need to build and feed the fires. The ashes from the fires are returned to the ground and provide all kinds of nutrients for the soil. Everything the people take from the forest they give back in one way or another, making their way of life very economically friendly and not harmful to the forest. Native Amazonians do not just farm crops such as manioc, yams, beans and pumpkins, they also hunt and fish. After five harvests, the land is too damaged to use again and the people more on, however due to the increasing use of the forest by commercial businesses, the land available to these people to farm has reduced and the native people are forced to return to areas they have already used before it has had time to fully recover (a process that takes up to 50 years).

Which city is called Brasilia of Pakistan?

The new national capitals of Islamabad in Pakistan and Brasilia in Brazil are the result of a similar decision by these two nations to shift governmental functions away from older and more settled regions to lesser developed regions in their interior (see figures I and 2). Since both of these countries are federal states, their commitment to the establishment of a 'created capital' in a region with no distinctive claim to individuality is by no means a unique political act.

States of this type usually contain several regional cores. As a consequence, regional interests are commonly so divergent that no single core has a clear-cut claim to political superiority. Therefore, as Spate points out, 'The device of forming a neutral district, abstracted from the control of any of the states of the federation, and the building therein of a new city devoted specifically to federal administration is an obvious answer to the problem/ 'Created capitals' of the past have been relatively small in size, and uni-func- tional in nature; they invariably have been perceived by government 'decision makers' as small administrative cities rather than as large metropolitan centres cap- able of becoming primate cities or major regional cores.

Devoted almost exclusively to the business of government and located in a part of the state not strongly identified with vested interests or commercial pressure, the 'created capital' has conveyed a feeling of locational and functional neutrality. In this way it has served to allay the fears of those members of the state who tend to equate excessive federal control with large, well-established metropolitan centres of political power. Both Brazil and Pakistan hope to achieve a higher level of national cohesion by rejecting their former capitals of Rio de Janeiro and Karachi for a new capital site.

But while Brasilia, in many respects, can be compared with previous 'created capitals', with the emphasis of its planners on administrative functions and re- stricted urban growth, Islamabad is being developed as a multi-functional capital city which may, in time, become one of the largest cities in Pakistan. A compara- tive analysis of Brasilia and Islamabad brings into sharp focus the fact that the federal governments of Brazil and Pakistan have envisioned the character of their 'created capital' in quite different perspectives. Although both countries have sought an interior location for their new national capital, the form and function of each is very unlike the other. This study is the result of an attempt to comprehend some of the significant political-spatial factors which have been important in the development of two such widely divergent contemporary approaches to the concept of the 'created.
