Desenvolvimento econômico e meio ambiente: o papel do conselho gestor da Sabiaguaba na promoção de desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

In the midst of the existing global ecological crisis and the current crisis in Brazilian democracy, the present work had the general objective of understanding the impact of the Management Council of Sabiaguaba Conservation Units (CGS), located in Fortaleza - Ceará, in promoting local sustainable development . Management councils are recent institutions in Brazilian democracy, which is why the importance of research that analyzes their actions is justified. To this end, we sought, first, to examine the concepts of economic and sustainable development. Bearing in mind that one of the axes of sustainable development is democratic participation, the history of management councils in Brazil was investigated, as well as that of CGS, seeking to identify their main characteristics and functions. These are the categories of research analysis, central concepts of the theoretical perspective. From a methodological point of view, the research has an exploratory character, with a qualitative approach, focusing on bibliographic and documentary analysis. For data analysis, Iramuteq, a qualitative technique software with quantitative aspects, was used. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the CGS promotes and promotes local sustainable development, as it forces the State to be concerned with the sustainable debate, in which it is placed as an instrument of inspection of economic and environmental guidelines , and which also imposes a position of analysis and questioning on what kind of development will be prioritized in the neighborhood of Sabiaguaba and, consequently, in the city of Fortaleza. Despite this, the performance of this council has a series of limitations and gaps that hinder the effective achievement of its objectives. These issues were mapped throughout the work.
