Governança ambiental: demonstrativo para unidades de conservação no município de Ananindeua/PA

Abstract

The research sought to develop a specific instrument to support the participation of the population in decisions that affect well-being in conservation units (UC), having as their ambit the municipal conservation units Parque Ambiental Antônio Danúbio and Museu Parque do Seringal, both located in Ananindeua-Pará-Brazil. The results of the research are aimed at verifying the governance structure existing in the municipal conservation units of Ananindeua; develop a protocol with the necessary requirements to highlight the UC's heritage; and test the applicability of the instrument to the municipal conservation units of Ananindeua. With the qualitative approach and the hybridism resulting from the use of dialectic and deductive methods, the work brought together a set of research techniques and varied sources of evidence. The techniques used were bibliographic, field research, image production and study, multiple cases and Likert scale. The sources of evi dence we re documents, records in archives, interviews, direct observation and physical artifacts. As research products, two cartographic maps of the two UC were elaborated; organization and execution of an improvement course for UC's employees and other interested parties; development of an assessment protocol for environmental and social wealth, considering non- economic-financial aspects; and development of the Social and Environmental Statement for Conservation Units (DSAUC). In addition, DSAUC underwent interdisciplinary technical analysis for validation as an instrument. Of the validators, 71.4% agreed that the DSAUC can be an instrument for measuring environmental and social wealth in UC. Of the respondents, 85.7% confirm the need for a specific statement to inform environmental and social issues in UC. Of the respondents, 42.9% are not satisfied with the traditional accounting statements to inform environmental and social issues. DSAUC proved to be easy to understand regar ding env ironmental and social wealth, corresponding to 85.7% of the validators. The instrument also proved to be a stimulus to increase the number of visitors in the UC, since 100% of the validators were interested in visiting or returning to the Parque Ambiental Antônio Danúbio and/or the Museu Parque do Parque do Seringal.
