Gestão participativa na reserva extrativista marinha Baía do Iguape, Maragogipe-Ba: o desafio do controle social

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis on the role of popular participation in the creation and management of Extractive Reserve in the municipality of Iguape Maragogipe-Ba. The question breaks down into categories of analysis as: the challenges and opportunities for effective social control of the new reality of economic intervention policies; environmental impacts caused by them and the impact of anti poverty programs implemented by the state in communities living on reserve. The research is based on the prescribed textbooks in specific laws dealing with issues related to the use of the resources of nature and the participation of civil society, and developed from the analysis of data collection through semi-structured interviews with the specific groups that are directly involved with the booking - Community leaders, municipal managers and local authorities working in extractive reserves, and the assessment of official documents - reports of environmental impact studies and minutes of public hearings and meetings with neighborhood associations and workers living in the study area. However, research has shown that consolidation of share still constitutes a challenge considering that the same does not appear effectively in the events that marked the history of Brazil, characterized by the centralization of power, style that endures in various social institutions, economic, and policy today.
