Abstract

The research objective was to analyze the determinants facts that contribute to the emergence of social learning processes and territorial dynamics changes in Protected Areas (PA). The scope of the study was defined in the Protected Area Management Councils and was based on the Xixová-Japuí State Park and Litoral Centro Marine Protected Area. Both PA are located in Santos Metropolitan Region, São Paulo, and inserted into a highly urbanized array with diverse interests and management challenges. Councils´ analysis identified the main characteristics of the arenas´ emergence processes and operation, verifying that both institutional design and skilled social actor´s presence assume critical importance on new institutions´ creation. The studys main conclusion indicates that clear rules establishment for the selection of civil society representatives and the adoption of technical process improve actors involvement in discussions and decision making for the protected areas management.
