Caracterização do turismo náutico comunitário em Barra de Moitas, Amontada - Ceará

Abstract

The traditional community of Barra de Moitas its made of families that occupy the territory at the mouth of the Aracatiaçu River, in the community of Amont - Ceará, since 1940. The community is a symbol of resistance to the advance of mass tourism and the community to the growing real estate speculation in the municipality of Amontada. Community members in recent years have developed nautical tourism on the Aractiaçu River. As a way of offsetting the negative impact of tourism on the coast of Ceará, the moment of contact with nature can be used to educate tourists about the environment and the anthropogenic impacts that the environment suffers. Environmental education contributes to socio-ecological equity, encouraging people to imagine the world differently, encouraging compensation for food, energy production, way of life, leisure and other aspects, especially urban life. about the socioeconomic profile of boatmen, such as ships used, the socioeconomic profile of tourists, their satisfaction with the profile performed and their environmental measurements were obtained in the field using the data that provided qualitative and quantitative answers as tools. These answers were made in two different ways, as technical through analysis and as qualitative in the creation of the Discourse of the Collective Subject and the tourist. The low level of information about the local environment by tourists contrasts with the high feeling of connection with nature and the perceived beauty of the landscape. In this way, understanding in which points the tourist is more careful about information can improve the perceived perception and contribute to a better environmental perception.
