This paper studied the area known as Igarape of Fortaleza, a wetland located in the Brazilian Amazon, in the state of Amapa, between the cities of Macapá and Santana. The objective was to find a new urban solution that can cope with the existing economic activities (fishing and collecting acai berries) with the urban and natural environment. The methodology used was primarily based on a full diagnosis of the study area, conducted through surveys and interviews on site. The data were collected and compiled and resulted in thematic maps made in ArcGIS, CorelDRAW and Auto-Cad softwares. The second step was a literature review of the conceptual theme of environmental planning, which served as inspiration for the final step: the proposition of ecological based park, the “Park of Igarape”, that included open spaces that celebrate local culture, as the manual shrimp fishing and the extraction of acai berry.
