O direito à participação na gestão ambiental pública e áreas naturais protegidas

Abstract

Within a territory there are various social actors who organize themselves and act in different ways, have different interests and fight for spaces of discussion and decision making. When the government conducts interventions and regulates the use and access to natural resources in a given space, he is defining how the costs and benefits from the actions of certain actors are distributed in society. In this context, from the presentation of some concepts that have been used in the debate on civil society participation in public environmental management, this study intends to identify on the principles and instruments of Brazilian environmental legislation that create public spaces and regulate participation of people in decision- making about the management of protected natural areas, where we are in terms of participation.
