Caracterização do Turismo de Base Comunitária em Polos Turísticos do Estado do Pará

Abstract

Este trabalho buscou analisar as experiências de turismo de base comunitária localizadas em três polos turísticos do estado do Pará, caracterizando-as no contexto regional. O recorte espacial considera os recursos financeiros advindos do Ministério do Turismo por meio do Edital Público Nº 001/2008, o qual selecionou projetos desse modelo de turismo no Brasil, tendo como representantes paraenses as iniciativas realizadas nos municípios de Curuçá, no Polo Amazônia Atlântica; Soure, no Polo Marajó, e Santarém no Polo Tapajós. Para tanto, foram realizados levantamentos e análises bibliográficas e documentais sobre o tema, bem como trabalhos de campo com aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas com representantes das comunidades envolvidas, dos poderes públicos municipais e de organizações não governamentais. Os resultados obtidos com a análise dos dados apontam que as experiências de turismo de base comunitária nos referidos polos diferenciam-se entre si, mas assemelham-se por apresentarem como principal limite o insuficiente apoio do poder público local e, como possibilidade, o aproveitamento do potencial natural e cultural a partir do interesse por parte de grupos das comunidades.

Identification of Pathogenic Leptospira Species in the Urogenital Tract of Water Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) From the Amazon River Delta Region, Brazil

“…In 2018, the Brazilian buffalo herd consisted of 1,390,066 buffaloes, and ∼37% of this herd was concentrated in the Amazon River Delta region (considering the east coast of Amapá state and Marajó Island) (10). Buffaloes are part of the Amazonian culture since it is used as a work animal and it plays a role in tourism, so these animals are in close proximity to humans (11). This close contact may represent a public health problem since leptospirosis is a zoonosis, and it has been reported that buffaloes can be directly involved in the transmission of leptospirosis to humans (12).…”
