Análise sobre a visitação dos parques nas pequenas e médias cidades do Brasil após a implementação do Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação

Abstract

Databases on Conservation Units, in particular National, State and Municipal Parks, were impacted by the implementation of the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC) from the 2000s onwards. , the databases available on UCs are fragmented, incomplete or non-existent. This information gap also undermines global analysis of the Parks. As a consequence, impact studies regarding the Parks are impaired, especially research that makes use of statistical or econometric methods. The objective of this work was to build an overview of the situation of visitation and occupation in the area of the municipality of the Parks created since 2001 (post SNUC), in municipalities with up to 200,000 inhabitants, based on the development of a base, compiling information, so that to allow an analysis on the visitation and occupation of the park in the territory of the municipality where the parks are located. From this database it was possible to carry out quantitative impact assessment research. The main contribution was the compilation of information on visitation in the parks, given the stipulated cut, allowing the construction of a database, through which an overview of the parks was prepared. With this, it is possible to evaluate how these more recent parks and, in municipalities that are not configured as large urban centers, are structured, with regard to administration and land use.
