The human influence on the protected area (PA) must be considered from broader models, understanding that there is an influence of social processes in them, and that is a dimension to be discussed within the scope of practices of nature protection. It is important to be taken into account in the creation, expansion and management of a PA, the participation of the actors involved, as the global framework indicates that this is a tendency to create new areas and the involvement of society in this process. Faced with this reality, this thesis aimed to contribute to the strengthening of participatory management of PAs in the Southern Cone, here defined as the ensemble of four countries: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile, and taking as a case study four PAs: the National Park of Itatiaia- Brazil, Puelo Lake National Park - Argentina, Pumalín Park Nature Sanctuary Chile, and Rocha Lagoon Protected Landscape - Uruguay. Based on the management tools in units of conservation (UCs) in Brazil: the management plan, buffer zone, environmental education and management council, and being the management tools determined by legal regulations (laws, decrees, resolutions, normative instructions), such regulations were analyzed and compared with each other in order to ascertaining whether these instruments were determined legally in the studied countries, as they are in Brazil, as well as, weather the participatory aspect was present in this determination. Then it was verified whether in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile there was an application of the same management tools in PAs as in Brazil, as well as, it was investigated the situation of the management tools in the case studies based on the participatory aspect. Moreover, there was a contextualization and presentation of management difficulties and pressures suffered by PAs, seeking to bring to light the reality in which they are inserted, as well as, the difficulties they share. For this purpose, it was used literature surveys, documentary, and semi-structured interviews with people who have had both practical experiences with the studied problem and with the case studies. It was found that the determination of legal instruments that facilitate the participation is not, as a rule, essential for effective participatory management of UCs, but their existence is. It was found that a good result is related to the technical and subjective qualities of public administration and also to the managers, who can help a lot in participatory management, along with a well-established partnership.
