Percepção ambiental e dinâmica geoecológica: premissas para o planejamento e gestão ambiental

Abstract

It is necessary to plan the actions of humans in nature, organizing sustainable interventions within environmental limits, and manage natural resources through comparisons with other landscapes already changed. But, part of the actions of environmental planning and management occur through sectoral analyzes, and without understanding how the local population perceives the nature. In this article we discuss about the geoecological landscape analysis and its relationship with the complex thinking and the importance of environmental education as a means of dissemination of geoecological knowledge of the landscape. It proposes fundamental elements for environmental planning and management of natural resources, through considerations about the need for knowledge of the environmental perception of social actors on their actions on the natural environment, and the impact of these actions on the local geoecological dynamics. The land use contribute significantly to changes in local environmental dynamics. Thus, the understanding of the geoecological dynamics, such as environmental perception of local communities, should be seen as premises for development of environmental planning and management
