Vol. 11 No. 16 (2023): Edição 2023

Greetings. It is with great satisfaction that we inform you of the conclusion of the 2023 Edition of our electronic magazine. Five articles were selected that met the thematic and academic demands established by the Editorial Committee. We emphasize that the article submission system is continuous flow and, therefore, we are open to new contributions.

The first article addressed the carrying out of possible activities in protected areas, such as hiking, camping and "forest bathing", relating them to the search for a better quality of life (QoL) in terms of human health. The second article proposed the development of general guidelines for tourism planning and management on a responsible basis. The geographic scope of the research took place on two beaches surrounding the Ilhabela State Park (SP). The third work aimed to analyze the geotouristic potential of the Morro do Diabo State Park (Teodoro Sampaio - SP), characterizing visitor demand for better local tourism planning. The fourth article had the general objective of identifying the social media used by state parks in the state of Paraná, highlighting the importance of routine posting of informative content that contributes to environmental education and tourism. The fifth and final article was developed in the Environmental Protection Area of Maricá - RJ (APAMAR). The APA is the scene of a territorial dispute involving groups for and against the construction of a Tourist-Residential Complex. The objective of the work was to investigate the project's Environmental Impact Report (RIMA), analyzing the possible related consequences.

Our gratitude to the authors for their valuable contributions.

Good reading.

Editorial Committee
