Human beings depend on nature's resources to ensure their well-being and even to survive. The correct management of natural resources allows all people to have access to these goods of nature, in this way the theme of Ecosystem Services (ES) was developed, seeking to realize an appreciation of the benefits that human beings extract from nature. During this work, a participatory map was built together with the local community, pointing to ES in a Conservation Unit (UC). This CU, located in the northeast of Brazil, is home to several traditional and indigenous communities of fishermen who live in close connection with nature and traditional knowledge inherited by generations, it is home to fragments of the Atlantic Forest, a rich expanse of mangroves, the estuary of the Mamanguape River and beaches suitable for leisure. Among the methods and techniques used, we found tools such as observation, interviews, questionnaires and a manual participatory mapping with an intensive focus on the local community, this information was complemented with interviews with policy managers and a questionnaire addressed to tourists. The results identified that policy managers, tourists and the community cite different ES as the main ones, however, the main ES that support both the community's livelihood and tourist activities, the interactions between the provision ES with the cultural ES, as well as point to the loss of ES supply due to anthropic activities outside the traditional community. In conclusion, we highlight the importance that ES obtained from the estuary represent for the community and the role of traditional knowledge for the conservation of ES. Greater participation of public bodies is needed both to supervise and to carry out participatory planning that involves the three spheres of government and guarantees the well-being of communities.
A pesquisa cientifica é uma atividade realizada constantemente na Área de Proteção Ambiental Barra do Rio Mamanguape, constituindo um compilado de publicações em diversas áreas e diferentes meios de publicação. Considerando que a análise e tratamento cienciométrico destas publicações, pode favorecer posteriores pesquisas e construção de políticas públicas, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as produções científicas e acadêmicas com objeto de estudo na APA Barra de Mamanguape através da análise cienciométrica. Para tal fim, o termo 'Barra de Mamanguape' foi pesquisado nos motores de busca (Periódicos Capes, Scielo e Google Acadêmico). Posteriormente as pesquisas foram organizadas em uma tabela de Excel, estudando a evolução da produção científica, as instituições interessadas, a classificação por áreas do conhecimento e as revistas publicadas. Foi evidenciado um aumento tanto na atividade como na qualidade dos meios de publicação dos trabalhos, indicando uma evolução positiva do trabalho cientifico realizado. Foi descoberto que Ecologia e Ciências Socias Aplicadas são os temas de pesquisa mais explorados, sendo evidenciadas lacunas em áreas como Biologia e Humanas. As conclusões, sugerema articulação institucional para facilitar a publicação de pesquisas realizadas neste território e o aprimoramento da produção de literatura cinza, visando a sua publicação em revistas revisadas por pares.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
