Zoneamento ecológico-econômico da BR-163: análise do processo de implementação no setor primário na sub-região da calha do Amazonas

Abstract

Since the decade of 1980, after the publication of the National Environmental Policy, the Ecological-Economic Zoning (EEZ) is under discussion in the country. The Amazon states received the very first proposals for zoning development in Brazil, and the State of Pará has received the zoning of west region, also known as BR-163 EEZ. However, it seems that the engagement used to develop a new zoning is not applied in order to implement the instrument. This study aims to verify if BR-163 EEZ's recommendations specifically to land use on rural production areas are being used by local actors directly involved with the primary sector. The methodology is based on analysis from spatial and numerical datas of TerraClass Project, in particular for an area wich covers the municipalities of Santarém, Belterra and Mojuí dos Campos. Office's Results were checked in field in a qualitative manner. The results show that the EEZ has no significant influence on the actions of the actors involved with primary production. In order to have a greater appropriation of zoning standards is necessary to invest in actions to go forward on implementation and knowledge dissemination on it.
