Uma proposta metodológica complexa para a gestão ambiental sustentável e georreferenciada do Jardim Botânico de João Pessoa.

Abstract

The thesis develops a complex methodological proposal that seeks two purposes: to serve as a complex scientific paradigm for the study of the environment and as a practical procedure of participative environmental administration supported by a georeferenced information computacional system. The complex method is based on three theoretical bases: conception, procedure and instrument. These are developed starting from the notions of environmental rationality, theory of the complexity and geographical information system, respectively. As practical procedure it was made an application of the proposed method in the reality of the environmental administration of the Botanical Garden of João Pessoa, in which the conditions of sustainability of that public agency were analyzed in the social, environmental, economical, historical, politics, cultural, and administrative perspective, and proposed a conceptual model of Geographical Information System (GIS). The Buraquinho forest, where the Botanical Garden of João Pessoa is inserted, is one of the largest environmental reservations of urban Atlantic forest of Brazil, however, it was observed that still the maintainable development is not being practiced in that important environment. Because the vision of adopted administration is based on economical rationality, the procedure is not integrated and participative and attendance instrument inexists for the environmental administration of the Botanical Garden of João Pessoa.
