Resumo: | The workers in the tourism sector of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park play a crucial role in contributing to the protection and conservation of the environment in their area of operation. A study conducted in 2013 revealed that 53.8% of people working in ecotourism in the region had little knowledge about the purpose of creating national parks, and a significant portion had not received any preparatory training specifically focused on tourism. Therefore, this work aims to assess the current perception of people working in ecotourism in the municipalities that encompass the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Barreirinhas, Santo Amaro, and Primeira Cruz). The research was conducted through an online questionnaire created on the Google Forms application and made available from June to November 2021. We identified the profile of the respondents, considering characteristics such as origin, age range, gender, occupation, education level, personal opinions regarding the park, and issues related to tourism, training of individuals, and the benefits associated with this practice. It was found, after 7 years, that there has been an increase in education levels and knowledge about the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. However, 43.6% of respondents still could not indicate the objective behind its creation. Despite the increased percentage of correct answers compared to the previous survey, there is still much room for improvement, considering that the respondents are directly in contact with visitors. Based on these data, it is evident that there is a need to provide training focused on the basic knowledge of the specific conservation unit in which the guides operate. This could be addressed through the fulfillment of the requirements stated in Ordinance No. 769, where the content is tailored directly to the reality of each Conservation Unit. |

Um estudo realizado em 2013 detectou que 53,8% das pessoas que trabalhavam com ecoturismo na região mal sabiam o objetivo da criação de parques nacionais, e grande parte não possuía nenhum curso preparatório voltado para o turismo. Sendo assim, este trabalho visa conhecer a percepção atual das pessoas que trabalham com o ecoturismo nos municípios que fazem parte do Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses (Barreirinhas, Santo Amaro e Primeira Cruz). A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de questionário online, elaborado no aplicativo Google forms, disponibilizado de junho a novembro de 2021. Identificamos o perfil dos entrevistados, segundo características como: origem, faixa etária, sexo, profissão, escolaridade, aspectos pessoais da opinião em relação ao PNLM e questões relacionadas ao turismo, treinamento de pessoas e os benefícios acerca desta prática. Verificou-se, após 7 anos, houve aumento da escolaridade, e do conhecimento sobre o PNLM, porém 43,6% ainda não souberam assinalar o objetivo de sua criação. Apesar de um aumento no número percentual de acertos em relação à pesquisa anterior, ainda existe muito a ser melhorado, tendo em vista que os entrevistados estão diretamente em contato com os visitantes. A partir desses dados fica evidente a necessidade de realizar capacitações voltadas para o conhecimento básico sobre a Unidade de Conservação em que os condutores atuam, que poderia ser resolvido caso houvesse o cumprimento das exigências da Portaria nº 769 em que os conteúdos sejam voltados diretamente para a realidade de cada Unidade de Conservação.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2024-05-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/1524210.34024/rbecotur.2024.v17.15242Brazilian Journal of Ecotourism; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2024): maio-julho/2024Revista Brasileña de Ecoturismo; Vol. 17 Núm. 2 (2024): maio-julho/2024Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur); v. 17 n. 2 (2024): maio-julho/20241983-9391reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismoinstname:Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)instacron:SBECOTURporhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/15242/11745Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSousa, Lucas NunesRibeiro-Novaes, Éville Karina Maciel Delgado2024-05-02T18:51:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15242Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/indexPUBhttp://www.sbecotur.org.br/rbecotur/seer/index.php/ecoturismo/oai||zneiman@gmail.com1983-93911983-9391opendoar:2024-05-02T18:51:07Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo - Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)false |
