Resumo: | The high growth of tourism since the 1950’s has been accompanied by various environmental impacts on tourist destinations. These impacts, which are often unnoticed or ignored for financial reasons can produce, among other effects, the decline of tourist flow. Coastal zones, one of the most sought after destinations for tourists due to the natural attractions thereof, are vulnerable to any kind of anthropogenic pressure. This study comparatively evaluated the perception by locals and tourists on environmental impacts caused by tourism in the Municipality of Paraty - RJ. For that purpose, a questionnaire was applied randomly to residents and tourists in this municipality analyzing natural envi- ronment, transformed environment and sociocultural environment. The results of the survey indicated that both locals and tourists realized, albeit in different degrees, damage to the environment caused by tourist activity in the receiving location. The residents themselves, who were more pessimistic in assessing the negative environmental impacts, are aware of their role in the environment. It became evident that there is need for improvements in tourism planning, adoption of measures, policies and coordinated actions between the public and private sectors that prioritize the environmental aspect, aiming at the conservation of the environment and sustainable tourism. |

Estes impactos, que muitas vezes não são percebidos ou são ignoradas por motivos financeiros, podem produzir, entre outros efeitos, o declínio do fluxo turístico. As zonas litorâneas, umas das destinações mais procuradas por turistas, devido às atrações naturais que apresentam, são vulneráveis a qualquer tipo de pressão antrópica. Este estudo avaliou comparativamente a percepção por parte de moradores e de turistas sobre os impactos ambientais causados pela atividade turística no Município de Paraty-RJ. Para o efeito, foi aplicado aleatoriamente um questionário aos moradores e turistas neste município analisando ambiente natural, ambiente transformado e ambiente sociocultural. Os resultados obtidos da pesquisa indicaram que tanto moradores quanto turistas perceberam, ainda que em graus diferentes, danos ao ambiente provocados pela atividade turística na localidade receptora. Os próprios moradores, que se mostraram mais pessimistas na avaliação de impactos ambientais negativos, têm consciência sobre o seu papel com o meio ambiente. Ficou evidente a necessidade de melhorias no planejamento turístico, adoção de medidas, políticas e ações coordenadas entre os setores público e privado que priorizem a aspecto ambiental visando a conservação do meio ambiente e turismo sustentável.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2014-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/article/view/1386410.5902/2236117013864Revista Eletrônica em Gestão, Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental; REGET, V. 18, N. 3, SEPT.-DEC., 2014; 1170-1178Revista Eletrônica em Gestão, Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental; REGET, V. 18, N. 3, SET.-DEZ., 2014; 1170-11782236-11702236-1170reponame:Revista Eletrônica em Gestão Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental (REGET)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/article/view/13864/pdfhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFandé, Morto BaiémPereira, Vania Filippi Goulart Carvalho2022-09-23T17:14:00Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/13864Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/regetPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/oaimarcelobdarosa@gmail.com||reget.ufsm@gmail.com2236-11702236-1170opendoar:2022-09-23T17:14Revista Eletrônica em Gestão Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental (REGET) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
