Dinâmicas territoriais no município de Salinópolis/PA: unidades espaciais, ações públicas e a conservação ambiental

Abstract

Coastal spaces focus special attention with regard to ecological, political and social discussions contemporary because they are areas increasingly densely populated, encompass essential ecological functions and have huge economic importance. The production of space on the Amazon coast points to a diversified reproduction movement, causing problems related to the natural, social and economic dynamics, what resonates in contradictions that are revealed in the fragility of the public actions in the coastal municipalities. The Municipality of Salinópolis concentrates a diversity of socio-spatial practices marked by the complexity of the activities established in its spatial reproduction process. This study focuses on the territorial dynamics in the municipality of Salinópolis from the forms of use throughout the space production process. Analyzes that the use today generates social and environmental inconsistencies, with significant loss of its natural and landscape resources, which reveals that coastal policies are often economistic, giving priority to certain activities such as tourism and the urbanization. Several public actions are taking place in the municipality to manage productive activities. These actions can cause conflicts due to the discrepancy of land use that does not show concordance with social dynamics and environmental conservation.
