Resumo: | The Biological Corridor Montes del Aguacate in Costa Rica is a connectivity zone where a close relationship between human populations and the environment is generated, which directly impacts natural ecosystems. The socio-environmental study is built from the viewpoint of its inhabitants so a perception survey is applied with open and closed questions to 128 people in 30 districts where the biological corridor is located. The categories of analysis deal with: 1) land use and sustainable productive activities; 2) local organization and training in environmental issues; and 3) practices aimed at environmental protection. Two relevant productive activities are identified in the biological corridor: coffee cultivation and cattle raising, which mobilize the local economy, but at the same time, generate significant tree felling and some polluting actions. There is a general lack of knowledge among the participating population about the coexistence with the biological corridor. The discourse of caring for the natural environment prevails, but is not accompanied by concrete actions. The development of the area is strongly linked to rural tourism, where the scenic beauty and natural biodiversity are taken advantage of. Community recognition of the water management authorities, the awareness of some inhabitants with actions for a sustainable environment and the power that some communities have rediscovered as a collective in the protection of the natural environment are rescued. |

El estudio socio-ambiental se construye desde la mirada de sus pobladores por lo que se aplica una encuesta de percepción con preguntas abiertas y cerradas a 128 personas en 30 distritos donde se ubica el corredor biológico. Las categorías de análisis versan sobre: 1) uso del suelo y actividades productivas sostenibles; 2) organización local y capacitación en temas ambientales y 3) prácticas tendientes a la protección del ambiente. Se identifica en el corredor biológico dos actividades productivas relevantes; el cultivo de café y la ganadería, lo cual moviliza la economía local, pero a la vez, genera una significativa tala de árboles y algunas acciones contaminantes. En la población participante existe desconocimiento generalizado sobre la coexistencia con el corredor biológico. Prevalece el discurso de cuidar el entorno natural, pero no se acompaña con acciones concretas. El desarrollo de la zona tiene un fuerte ligamen con el turismo rural, donde se aprovecha la belleza escénica y la biodiversidad natural. Se rescata el reconocimiento comunitario a las instancias administradoras del agua; la concientización de algunos pobladores con acciones en pro de un ambiente sostenible y el poder que como colectivo han redescubierto algunas comunidades en la protección del entorno natural.O Corredor Biológico Montes del Aguacate na Costa Rica é uma zona de conectividade onde se gera uma estreita relação entre as populações humanas e o meio ambiente, o que impacta diretamente os ecossistemas naturais. O estudo socioambiental é construído na perspectiva de seus moradores, de forma que uma pesquisa de percepção com questões abertas e fechadas é aplicada a 128 pessoas em 30 bairros onde está localizado o corredor biológico. As categorias de análise tratam de: 1) uso da terra e atividades produtivas sustentáveis; 2) organização local e treinamento em questões ambientais e 3) práticas voltadas para a proteção do meio ambiente. Duas atividades produtivas relevantes são identificadas no corredor biológico; o cultivo do café e da pecuária, que mobiliza a economia local, mas ao mesmo tempo, gera um significativo corte de árvores e algumas ações poluidoras. Na população participante há um desconhecimento geral sobre a convivência com o corredor biológico. O discurso do cuidado com o meio ambiente prevalece, mas não é acompanhado de ações concretas. O desenvolvimento da zona tem uma forte ligação com o turismo rural, onde se aproveita a beleza paisagística e a biodiversidade natural. O reconhecimento da comunidade aos órgãos de administração de água é resgatado; a conscientização de alguns moradores com ações em prol de um meio ambiente sustentável e o poder que, como grupo, algumas comunidades redescobriram na proteção do meio ambiente natural.Research, Society and Development2021-05-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1584210.33448/rsd-v10i6.15842Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 6; e30410615842Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 6; e30410615842Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 6; e304106158422525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIspahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/15842/14113Copyright (c) 2021 Marielos Vargas Moraleshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVargas Morales, Marielos2021-06-10T22:51:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15842Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:36:34.714495Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
