| Abstract | |
A discursive perspective teaches us that there is no one, objective, monolithic truth about culture/space relationships. Little is the information so far divulged about knowledge and ideals of the use of space for traditional inhabitants who live at protected areas - such as the caiçaras, quilombolas and other indigenous groups. This gap leads me to me question about the real participatory character attributed to the environmental management and administration plans led by \"Secretaria do Meio Ambiente do Estado de São Paulo\" (São Paulo State Environment Bureau) in the ambit of \"Projeto de Preservação da Mata Atlântica\"(Atlantic Rainforest Preservation Project). So far, the imaginary of a specific group of professionals - mostly majored in Natural Sciences - has been the one that has expressed itself and guides most of the nature protection programs, disregarding the local knowledge and know how. However, wouldn\'t there be any other possible way? The comprehension of the relationship between the local inhabitants and the environment where they live - their place - is fundamental for pointing the presupposition of an effectively participatory territory management . The diagnosis and the environmental planning shall not be limited by the instrumental point of view. This way, the present work highlights the importance of regarding the \"traditional knowledge\" for the environmental and protected areas management, besides taking into account aspects that are part of a rather subjective dimension of the human being in this collective process (AU) | |
