Diagnóstico socioambiental do ecoturismo no município de Pirenópolis - GO

Abstract

This research was conducted by researchers at the Research Group on Sport, Leisure and Communication (GEPELC/Faculty of Physical Education/UFG). We tried to make a socio-environmental diagnosis of Ecotourism in the city of Pirenópolis, indicating elements for actions and policies based on the principles of sustainable territorial development. The collected data indicate the need for a systemic planning in public administration, the private sector, civil society and in between them. Although proposals in progress, ecotourism is in place in germinal stage, with few linkages with other activities and sectors. However, the environmental concern demonstrated by the research subjects, indicates that it is possible to develop programs/joint projects that, at least, contain some elements of sustainable regional development.
