ANÁLISE ESPACIAL DAS UNIDADES DE PAISAGEM DA RESERVA EXTRATIVISTA MARINHA MOCAPAJUBA, ZONA COSTEIRA DO NORDESTE PARAENSE

A Reserva Extrativista Marinha Mocapajuba localiza-se no município de São Caetano de Odivelas, zona costeira do nordeste paraense. É uma unidade que se enquadra na categoria de uso sustentável, constitui-se em um espaço territorial destinado à exploração autossustentável e a conservação dos recursos naturais renováveis. O trabalho tem por objetivo fazer uma análise espacial das unidades de paisagem da Resex Marinha Mocapajuba para fornecer subsídios para o planejamento ambiental e ordenamento territorial da unidade. Com base nos pressupostos teórico-metodológico geossistêmico e utilizando dados em formatos vetoriais e matriciais que foram processados em ambiente de Sistema de Informação Geográfica, fez-se o cruzamento das informações e obteve-se 7 unidades de paisagem, são elas: Geossistema da Planície Costeira com Campos; Geossistema da Planície Costeira com Manguezal; Geossistema da Planície Costeira com Ocupação Humana; Geossistema da Planície Costeira com Restinga; Geossistema dos Tabuleiros com Campos; Geossistema dos Tabuleiros com Capoeira e Solo Exposto; Geossistema dos Tabuleiros com Vegetação Secundária. Assim, a delimitação das unidades de paisagem mostrou-se um importante instrumento para subsidiar a elaboração de um plano de manejo que é um dos principais instrumentos de gestão e a unidade de estudo ainda não possui o seu.

SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF THE LANDSCAPE UNITS OF THE MOCAPAJUBA MARINE EXTRACTIVE RESERVE, COASTAL ZONE OF NORTHEAST OF THE PARÁ STATE ABSTRACT The Mocapajuba Marine Extractive Reserve is located in the municipality of São Caetano de Odivelas, Coastal Zone of Northeast of the Pará State. It is a unit that falls within the category of sustainable use, constitutes a territorial space destined to the self-sustainable exploitation and the conservation of the renewable natural resources. The work aims to make a spatial analysis of the landscape units of Resex Marinha Mocapajuba to provide subsidies for the environmental planning and territorial planning of the unit. Based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions geosistemic and using data in vector and matrix formats that were processed in a Geographic Information System environment, the information was cross-referenced and 7 landscape units were obtained, they are: Geosystems of the Coastal Plain with Fields; Geosystem of the Coastal Plain with Mangrove; Geosystems of the Coastal Plain with Human Occupation; Geology of the Coastal Plain with Restinga; Geosystem of the Trays with Fields; Geosystem of Trays with Capoeira and Exposed Soil; Geosystem of Tracks with Secondary Vegetation. Thus, the delimitation of the landscape units has proved to be an important instrument to subsidize the elaboration of a management plan that is one of the main management instruments and the unit of study does not yet have its own.

Os estudos e o marco legal sobre zona costeira no Brasil apontam a necessidade em desenvolver o planejamento territorial de sua ocupação e ordenação através do Zoneamento Econômico-Ecológico (ZEE) com vistas à promoção da gestão integrada dos recursos naturais com sua preservação e conservação. Na Amazônia brasileira, as Áreas Protegidas ou Unidades de Conservação (UC) são conhecidas como instrumentos de gestão ambiental e foram instituídas com fins para a conservação e preservação dos recursos ambientais tanto interiores como costeiros. Na Zona Costeira Paraense (ZCPA), as UC ainda sofrem os efeitos da ausência de instrumentos que não permitem sua efetivação na constituição de novos cenários protegidos. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de Zoneamento Geoambiental da ZCPA a partir das UC estabelecidas como subsídio e contribuição para o planejamento ambiental, tendo como metodologia de análise o zoneamento proposto a partir do Processo Analítico Hierárquico – AHP e do modelo DPSIR (Força, Pressão, Estado, Impacto, Resposta). O Zoneamento apresentado pode ser utilizado como um diagnóstico ambiental para o exercício da gestão e uso do território como um ponto de partida para a implantação de uma política de ordenamento territorial da Zona Costeira Paraense (ZCPA).Palavras-chave: Gestão Ambiental, DPSIR, Paisagem, Zoneamento, Amazônia. Geoenvironmental Zoning from Conservation Units: Subsidies for Integrated Management of the Paraense Coastal Zone – Brazil A B S T R A C TStudies and the legal framework on the coastal zone in Brazil point to the need to develop the territorial planning of their occupation and ordering through the Economic-Ecological Zoning (ZEE) with a view to promoting the integrated management of natural resources with their preservation and conservation. In the Brazilian Amazon, the Protected Areas or Conservation Units (UC) are known as instruments of environmental management and were established for the purpose of conserving and preserving both inland and coastal environmental resources. In the Paraense Coastal Zone (ZCPA), UCs still suffer the effects of the absence of instruments that do not allow their effectiveness in the constitution of new protected scenarios. This article aims to present a proposal for ZCPA Geoenvironmental Zoning from the UCs established as a subsidy and contribution to environmental planning, having as analysis methodology the zoning proposed from the Hierarchical Analytical Process - AHP and the DPSIR model (Força, Pressure, State, Impact, Response). The Zoning presented can be used as an environmental diagnosis for the exercise of management and use of the territory as a starting point for the implementation of a territorial planning policy for the Coastal Zone of Pará (ZCPA).Keywords: Environmental Management, DPSIR, Landscape, Zoning, Amazon.

A criação e implementação de Unidades de Conservação tem se mostrado uma ferramenta que visa contribuir para a gestão ambiental do território, protegendo os patrimônios naturais, culturais e históricos. O Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação instituído pela Lei nº 9.985 de julho de 2000, estabelece que as visitas nos moldes do turismo sejam permitas de acordo com o seu Plano de Manejo. Entretanto, nos últimos anos essa atividade tem causado impactos negativos às Unidades de Conservação, dessa forma, partiu-se para uma atividade que proporcionasse bem-estar ao visitante sem agredir o ambiente natural, assim a prática do ecoturismo ganhou destaque no cenário nacional. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é discutir sobre a utilização das unidades da paisagem para a prática do ecoturismo na Reserva Extrativista Marinha de Cururupu (MA). O trabalho está pautado na abordagem qualitativa e no método fenomenológico, bem como nos procedimentos metodológicos, tais como: levantamento e análise de material bibliográfico; trabalhos de campo e registro fotográfico. Os resultados evidenciam que a Reserva Extrativista Marinha de Cururupu criada em 2 de junho de 2004, abrange os municípios de Apicum-Açu, Bacuri, Cururupu, Porto Rico e Serrano do Maranhão, englobando 13 comunidades, onde residem aproximadamente 1500 famílias, tendo como principal atividade econômica a pesca artesanal. A explicação para o entendimento dos processos naturais e humanos deve ocorrer de maneira dinâmica e integrada, assim a abordagem geossistêmica é considerada a mais viável para o estudo da paisagem e sua potencialidade para o ecoturismo consiste em avaliar os elementos componentes dessa paisagem. Nesse contexto, buscou-se verificar as principais unidades da paisagem consideradas potencializadores da prática do ecoturismo na Resex de Cururupu, entre elas estão: os campos de dunas fixas e móveis, lagoas cristalinas, a exuberante formação dos mangues e a contemplação das aves migratórias, além dos aspectos histórico-culturais da Ilha de Lençóis. Nesta, o ICMBio desenvolve um projeto denominado de Projeto de Ecoturismo de Base Comunitária na Ilha de Lençóis, sendo uma alternativa econômica aos moradores, cuja a caraterística primordial é desenvolver a prática ecoturística, potencializar atividades sustentáveis, assegurando o meio de vida e a cultura das populações ali existentes. Conclui-se que a prática do ecoturismo na Resex de Cururupu é vista como um importante fator de valorização econômica para as comunidades, mas ainda não se reflete como fonte extra de renda devido à falta de planejamento e gestão para a execução dessa atividade. Para potencializar a prática do ecoturismo na área de estudo é importante explorar as unidades da paisagem, configurando como instrumentos naturais capazes de atrair um grande percentual de turistas para a área. Com intuito de desenvolver o ecoturismo na Resex de Cururupu é importante também investir na implantação de uma infraestrutura adequada, investir na formação de guias (moradores das comunidades); promoção de cursos e treinamentos; conscientizando e sensibilizando os moradores locais e turistas no que se refere ao uso e manutenção dos recursos naturais da Resex de Cururupu. Units of use of landscape for practice in ecotourism the Marine Extractive Reserve in Cururupu (MA, Brazil) ABSTRACT The creation and implementation of protected areas has proven to be a tool to contribute to the environmental management of the territory, protecting the natural, cultural and historical heritage. The National System of Protected Areas established by Law Nº. 9985 of July 2000 states that the visits in the tourism molds are permitas according to its Management Plan. However, in recent years this activity has caused negative impacts on protected areas thus broke for an activity that would provide welfare visitors without harming the natural environment, and ecotourism gained prominence on the national scene. The objective of this work is to discuss the use of landscape units for ecotourism in the Marine Extractive Reserve of Cururupu (MA). The work is founded on the qualitative approach and the phenomenological method as well as the methodological procedures, such as survey and analysis of bibliographical material; field work and photographic record. The results show that the Marine Extractive Reserve Cururupu established in June 2, 2004, covering the municipalities of Apicum-Acu, Bacuri, Cururupu, Porto Rico and Serrano Maranhão, encompassing 13 communities, home to about 1,500 families, with the main economic activity artisanal fisheries. The explanation for the understanding of natural and human processes must occur in a dynamic and integrated way, so geosystemic approach is considered the most viable for landscape study and its potential for ecotourism is to assess the elements of this landscape. In this context, we sought to identify the main landscape units considered boosters ecotourism practice in Resex of Cururupu, among them are: the fixed dune fields and furniture, crystal clear lagoons, lush mangrove training and contemplation of migratory birds, besides the historical and cultural aspects of Sheets Island. In this, ICMBio develops a project called Community Based Ecotourism Project in Sheets Island, being an economical alternative to residents whose primary feature is to develop ecotourism practice, enhance sustainable activities, ensuring the livelihood and culture of existing populations there. We conclude that the practice of ecotourism in Cururupu of Resex is seen as an important factor of economic recovery for communities, but still not reflected as an extra source of income due to lack of planning and management for the implementation of this activity. To encourage ecotourism in the study area is important to explore the landscape units, setting as natural instruments to attract a large percentage of tourists to the area. Seeking to develop ecotourism in Cururupu of Resex is also important to invest in the implementation of an adequate infrastructure, invest in training guides (community residents); promoting teaching and training; educating and sensitizing the locals and tourists with regard to the use and maintenance of natural resources Resex of Cururupu.

Environmental Importance

Protected areas are legally established geographic portions to promote the protection of ecosystems. Law No. 9,985/2000, which established the National System of Nature Conservation Units (SNUC), introduced legal instruments and practical requirements for the creation and management of this type of protected area. This work investigated federal conservation units, which has its limits, albeit partially, in the State of Rondônia, Northern Brazil, regarding aspects of management and application of legal instruments. The items investigated include the mosaic management and implementation plan, gathering data to facilitate access to information, both for the academic community and for the population in general. Rondônia has 14 CUs of five categories, seven of the sustainable use group and seven of the integral protection group, managed by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Protection (ICMBio). Of the 14 CUs, five have no management plan; on the other hand, despite the proximity of some units, 53.84% do not compose official mosaics or integrated management. The lack of adequate human, financial, and management resources are among the scores that lead to poor effectiveness in these areas.

Discussions approximately an environmental control method for deep seabed mining in the Area had been underway for some the years. Both states and scientists have known for such an environmental control method. In 2018, the International Seabed Authority has followed its first 5-year strategic plan, masking all elements of its mandate. This article examines the brand-new strategic plan integrates factors of an environmental control method and what is probably missing. It demonstrates that even as a few overlaps exist, there are numerous key gaps left via way of means of the modern strategic plan which will be stuffed via the way of means of an environmental control method. To operationalize those desires and objectives, development ought to be measurable; thus, objectives are set, reviews are assessed, and suitable responses are awarded. Many control equipment and toots are relevant for accomplishing environmental desires. To date, the ISA has taken into consideration marine spatial making plans in large part across the modern exploration settlement blocks. Other factors of environmental control, which include the necessities for baseline studies, effect assessment, post-effect tracking, and the remedy of dangerous consequences and extreme damage want to be carried out to assist well-described environmental desires and objectives. We advocate that this making plans be done for scales largethan man or woman blocks, through a Strategic Environmental Management Plan, to make certain sustainable use of ocean assets throughout the Area.

Extractive Reserves

SUMMARYExtractive reserves are conservation units that are concurrently expected to sustain subsistence and cash economies of reserve residents, often through use of non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) has been central to many Amazonian reserves and resident livelihoods therein, due to its basin-wide distribution, significance in global markets, and potential for sustainable use and forest conservation. Yet, do the benefits of this and other NTFPs extend to all extractive reserve residents? A livelihood survey, structured interviews, and Brazil nut inventories from 2008 to 2010, randomly sampling the widely dispersed households and corresponding forests across the three regions of Riozinho do Anfrísio Extractive Reserve (RDAER), revealed significant social and ecological heterogeneity among RDAER regions. There were differences in Brazil nut stand access, individual tree characteristics (including crown form and marginally, and fruit production), stand and tree management, multiple household characteristics that shape resident investment and dependence on NTFPs, and the contribution of Brazil nut to forest-based income. If Brazil nut and other NTFPs are to reconcile conservation and development in forest communities, then policies to regulate and promote NTFP use must integrate the socioecological heterogeneity inherent in these forest products and within reserve polygons.

Objective Methodology

In recent years, the landscape has become another environmental resource, so it is important to incorporate it into planning actions. However, its broad sense of study has made it difficult to develop methodologies that precisely diagnose the state of the landscape and its management requirements, especially in dynamic spaces like urban areas. In order to develop a method capable of providing information that can be incorporated into environmental assessment and territorial planning tasks so that the needs of the landscape are taken into account in the decision-making stages, an objective methodology is presented based on the study of different parameters (biotic, abiotic and socioeconomic) analyzed in the field and subsequently geoprocessed through Geographic Information Systems according to their influence on the landscape. Through the proposed methodology it is possible to determine the quality, fragility and need of protection of the landscape, as well as to identify the diverse landscape units that form the landscape of a territory. Based on these results, a landscape diagnosis can be drawn up to quantify its overall and partial state, carry out monitoring analyses and make comparisons between different landscape units, so that management measures can be adopted according to the obtained scenarios.

Protected areas are the most frequently used tool for the mitigation of threats to biodiversity. However, without effective management, the creation of new protected areas may be ineffective. In Brazil, protected areas must have both a governing body (consultative or deliberative council) and an official management plan. Here, we analyzed general trends and patterns in the approval of the management plans for Brazilian federal protected areas. We considered all federal protected areas, and compiled data on (i) the year the area was created, (ii) the type of protected area (integral protection vs. sustainable use), (iii) year its management plan was approved, (iv) year in which the management plan was revised after its approval, (v) total area (in hectares), and (vi) the biome in which the area is located. We stablished three groups of protected area: 1) Group A: protected areas created prior to 1979, 2) Group B: protected areas created between 1979 and 1999, and 3) Group C: protected areas created between 2000 to the present time. Finally, we tested whether time for the approval of the management plan suffered a simultaneous effect of the type of biome and type of categories of protected area (strictly protected vs. sustainable use areas). We found 211 (63.17% of the 334) protected areas with management plan. On average, the time taken for the creation and approval of a management plan far exceeds the deadlines (5 yrs.) defined under current Brazilian law. All Brazilian biomes are poorly covered by protected areas with effective management plans, with the highest and lowest value observed in the Pantanal (100%) and Caatinga (46.42%), respectively. Our results suggest that the effectiveness of many federal protected areas in Brazil can be reduced considerably by the lack of a management plan, with deleterious consequences for the country’s principal conservation strategies.

This research has as its central theme the analysis of the morphometric parameters of the hydrographic basin of the Marapanim River, Pará, as a way to subsidize the environmental planning of the area. Studies like these are justified by the regional importance of the economic activities carried out in the municipalities that make up this unit, such as oil palm in its high course and the predominance of family farming and livestock in several sections of the medium and low course. Researches with this purpose are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of the environmental dynamics in the Eastern Amazon. The methodology used was carried out from the literature review, calculation of parameters using Arc Gis and preparation of cartographic material, in addition to the treatment of information with the inference of its applications to environmental planning. The results obtained allowed us to understand that the Marapanim basin has low runoff and a higher infiltration rate, due to its physical characteristics, in addition to medium to low flooding tendencies, which also occur due to the ratio of altitudes that vary from 0 to 70 meters and they are considered of low impact, indicating the need to implement actions aimed at planning related to territorial planning and the use of natural resources.

This is a second overview of the Brazilian conservation unit system for mid-2010. It updates author et al, 2009. It examines six dimensions of federal and state protected areas – age, numbers, types of units, absolute and average sizes, distribution by states and biomes, and degree of compliance with CBD-inspired goals. Major findings: (i) the system maintained a rapid growth rate; (ii) national parks and national forests are the most prominent units; (iii) distribution of units by region and biome remains unbalanced; (iv) state units grew remarkably over the last five years; (v) state units are biased towards sustainable use; (vi) sustainable use units grew more than fully protected units; (vii) Amazonia remains the most extensively protected biome; and (viii) quantitative goals of biome protection are closer to being reached. In 2010 Brazil held the fourth position globally in protected areas; it created the largest number of units between 2000 and 2010; it has the largest combined area of protected tropical formations. However, several regions and biomes remain under protected.
