Abstract

The Jericoacoara’s beach has undergone several phases of socio-environmental development up to the presentmoment. With the advent of tourism and the international recognition of the area, there has been a significant improvement in the quality of life of the residents, however, has led to a series of environmental problems and some social problems, such as erosion of the National Park's dunes with heavy vehicle traffic and the loss of the traditionality of the place with buildings outside the standard of the Village. The study aims to use the environmental perception of the inhabitants of Jericoacoara to builda socioenvironmental mapping of the area, where all the points that the residents consider important the demarcation of this territory will be mapped. The socio-environmental mapping of Jericoacoara is important for the population to follow the growth of the area, demarcate territories and contribute to the construction of environmental awareness of the residents. Through the diagnosis of the site it was possible to identify the problems faced by the population in the socio-environmental scope, as well as the points that need to be improved in order to ensure a better management of the National Park. From the elaboration of a socio-environmental map and the diagnosis of the entire place, it is possible to articulate important actions for the improvement of the area and, in the case of Jericoacoara, this is an important measure, considering that the region is a Protect Area and must take special care to preserve the country's natural heritage.
