Resumo
The need to save and protect the environmental goods and services against the uncontrolled
human consumption and interventions led to the institutionalization and creation of the
Conservation Units. And these, in addition to ensuring the conservation of a certain biome's
natural patrimony and biodiversity, carry with them environmental, social, economic, cultural
values, among others, attributed by people, due to the use and non-use of their environmental
goods and services. For the evaluation of the values related to that kind of unit, this work took
place in the São Jorge District, City of Alto Paraíso de Goiás, State of Goiás, Brazil, in the
Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (PNCV), with the intention of evaluate the importance
of the Conservation Unit in the context of the development of the region, identifying the
values that people (residents and visitors) attribute to the Park's set of goods and services and
the District surroundings. At first, it became a study case of the elapsed historical context in
the region, to analyze the socioeconomic activities developed there since the time of mining,
until the tourism arising from the National Park, in order to apprehending the notion of value
of the local residents. Then proceeded to a environmental valuing, based in the Travel Cost
Method, to measure the values that the visitors attribute to the PNCV's set of goods and
services, according to their expenses with the travel. It was found that the Park represents a
range of values for the residents of the District and surroundings, since the economic,
environmental and sociocultural, constituting in a element of development to the region. To
the visitors, the highlighted values refer to the monetary, related to the travel cost, which
reveals a willingness to pay for the goods and services that the PNCV has. Were also
