Espaços territoriais especialmente protegidos no Município de Aparecida - PB.

Abstract

According to the constitutional norm, it is the responsibility of the public power, at the three levels of public administration, to define the areas to be specially protected. The objective of this research was to identify current municipal legislation on protected spaces, conservation units and permanent preservation areas in the city of Aparecida-PB. The theoretical discussion took as notes the studies of Antunes, Ferrari, Ferreira, Granziera, Meirelles, Rocha and Trentini, in addition to the interpretation of the current legislation. The methodological procedures were defined in exploratory and descriptive as to the purposes and documentary and bibliographic as to the means. The nature of the research was defined as qualitative and the discussion of the results was worked through the interpretation of the legal diplomas. Two legislative provisions were identified: the Organic Law of the Municipality and the Municipal Complementary Law No. 026, which institutes the Participative Master Plan of the Municipality of Aparecida. Critical point that we point out is the legal establishment of a Zone of Agricultural Activities of Social Interest in Areas of Permanent Preservation. In this context, it is worth asking - while the suggestion for future research remains - how the surroundings of the Piranha, Peixe rivers and the Mutuca, Boi Morto and Grande streams are being preserved, where family-based agricultural activities are traditionally carried out. We consider as the most valuable contribution of this study the concern that arises with the legislated law and its consequences in real life in relation to the areas of permanent preservation in the Municipality of Aparecida-PB.
