Avaliação dos impactos ambientais no parque ecológico da nascença em Itapororoca, Paraíba

Abstract

This study addresses the relationship between society and the environment, highlighting the emergence of environmental policies focused on environmental management and the sustainable use of green spaces. The objective was to evaluate the environmental impacts on the Nascença Ecological Park in the municipality of Itapororoca/PB. The methodology used consisted of a literature review, direct field observation, and the application of a qualitative matrix to identify the main environmental impacts of the Park. Through field visits, it was possible to identify that the most frequent activities are local visitation, tourism, commercial activities, informal educational use, and water extraction. The results obtained through the qualitative analysis matrix demonstrated that these activities exert pressure on environmental components, soil, fauna, flora, water resources, and the socioeconomic environment. Therefore, a lack of control and 1 oversight in the Park is observed, necessitating measures that can contribute to the environmental management of the Nascença Ecological Park.
