Resumo: | This article uses part of the results of a master's research, based on the experience with the community of Lago do Acajatuba - AM, belonging to the Rio Negro Sustainable Development Reserve, where community-based tourism activities take place, promoted by a tourism agency. The research aimed to verify the perceptions of the subjects participating in the activities, whether they are volunteers, community members or members of organizations that promote the activities. The methodology used was: 1) bibliographic and documental research; 2) mapping of institutions operating with volunteer tourism through internet research and the snowball method; 3) direct observation, with the presence of the researcher in loco during a volunteer tourism activity carried out by the agency; 4) conducting semi-structured interviews with community members; 5) application of questionnaires to volunteer tourists in order to understand their perceptions about the activities carried out; 6) Selection of the key ideas contained in the collected data, their tabulation and analysis. In the on-site visit, it was possible to observe that this is an action more focused on tourism with occasional volunteering activities, which may reveal a certain distance from the initial proposal, difficulties in understanding the role of volunteering and the expectations of those involved, in addition to an incipient assessment of this action, which highlights the importance of paying close attention to these processes that have been taking place in the Brazilian Amazon and that have transformative potential in several aspects and which, for these reasons, need to be analyzed and improved. |

Esta visa apoiar comunidades locais a partir da ação voluntária organizada por instituições com ou sem fins lucrativos. As experiências com esta modalidade de turismo no Brasil são recentes e por isso observam-se desafios na execução das atividades tendo como base a compreensão dos objetivos finalísticos da atividade, assim como do papel das organizações e dos/as turista(s) e impactos por eles/as causados nas visitas, os quais não têm sido mensurados. Este artigo utiliza parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado, a partir da experiência junto à comunidade do Lago do Acajatuba - AM, pertencente à Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Rio Negro, onde ocorrem atividades de turismo de base comunitária promovidos por uma agência de turismo. A pesquisa objetivou verificar as percepções dos sujeitos participantes das atividades, sejam eles/as voluntários/as, sejam comunitários/as ou membros das organizações que promovem as atividades. A metodologia utilizada foi: 1) pesquisa bibliográfica e documental; 2) mapeamento de instituições atuantes com turismo de voluntariado por meio de pesquisa na internet e método bola de neve; 3) observação direta, com a presença da pesquisadora in loco durante uma atividade de turismo de voluntariado realizada pela agência; 4) realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com comunitários/as; 5) aplicação de questionários aos/às turistas voluntários/as visando compreender suas percepções sobre as atividades realizadas; 6) Seleção das ideias-chave contidas nos dados coletados, sua tabulação e análise. Na visita in loco foi possível observar que se trata de uma ação mais focada no turismo com atividades pontuais de voluntariado, o que pode revelar um certo distanciamento quanto à proposta inicial, dificuldades na compreensão do papel do voluntariado e das expectativas dos/as envolvidos/as, além de avaliação incipiente sobre este fazer, o que evidencia a importância de olhares atentos a estes processos que vêm ocorrendo na Amazônia Brasileira e que tem potencial transformador sob diversos aspectos e que, por estes motivos, precisam ser analisados e aprimorados.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2022-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/1387610.34024/rbecotur.2022.v15.13876Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur); v. 15 n. 4 (2022): agosto-outubro/2022Brazilian Journal of Ecotourism; Vol. 15 No. 4 (2022): agosto-outubro/2022Revista Brasileña de Ecoturismo; Vol. 15 Núm. 4 (2022): agosto-outubro/20221983-9391reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismoinstname:Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)instacron:SBECOTURporhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/13876/9908Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLenci, Flávia SilveiraRabinovici, Andrea2022-08-01T09:28:35Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/13876Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/indexPUBhttp://www.sbecotur.org.br/rbecotur/seer/index.php/ecoturismo/oai||zneiman@gmail.com1983-93911983-9391opendoar:2022-08-01T09:28:35Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo - Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)false |
