Abstract

This paper has as general objective to study the aspects environmental ecological, social-economics and cultural of the handling of the natural resources in the municipal district of Cajazeiras, as tip initial foot of processes of degradation of the environment, in the areas of" sidewalks ", seeking to revert that picture. The study area is located in the high sertao paraibano, northeast of Brazil. The occupation processes, production and reproduction of the landscapes were analyzed through cuttings bounded valleys the intermittent streams or "sandbanks" the analysis was made starting from bibliographical rising, field research and cabinet work, on the order aspects: a) conceptual: understanding of the first characteristics (the most remote possible) of the territory in study, as well as of the relationships ever since established between the society and the nature; b) descriptive: description of the socioeconomic aspects and you adapt at the present time of the municipal district of Cajazeiras; and c) evaluative: identification of the degradation degrees imposed to the natural landscapes by the occupation processes and exploration, starting from the analysis of the survival strategies and the possibilities of changes, tends in view the model of maintainable development. The expected results should appear for the urgent need of protection and recovery of the areas of sandbanks or lowlands environment where the caraaubeiras happen naturally, because those typical ecosystems of the interiors of altitudes below 300 meters are of fundamental importance for the protection and optimize of the water resources. We also looked for to build a theoretical-methodological database, that will be able to compete for the understanding of other similar areas of the context of Semi-arid, as well as of the establishment in a new way of environmental administration of those areas.
