OS OS PARQUES NACIONAIS DA ARGENTINA E DO BRASIL:

ASPECTOS CONTEMPORÂNEOS DO USO PÚBLICO

Abstract

The recognition of Protected Areas, especially parks, establishes as objectives: the preservation of scenic sanctuaries and the need to serve the interests of societies (such as places for the practice of recreational activities), highlighting a symbiosis between public use and protected natural areas. In this scenario, the importance of public use in the national parks of Argentina and Brazil is assessed, applying a methodology based on the case study (Yin, 2010), associated with data collection (documentation, file registration, direct observation and physical artifacts); to perform data interpretation through content analysis (Bardin, 2011). The identification of 41 publications was considered in which it should list, as textual criterion by syntactic characteristic, the terms: national parks; public use; patrimonialization. As a result, it was found that there is a significant difference in the interpretations of the political-institutional framework presented in both countries with regard to public use. This does not mean that the proposal of one is better than that of the other, but, in Argentina, there is a greater integration between the discourses, as national tourism politics in parks, considering the documentation analyzed.
