Description
Summary:Environmental perception is a way of analyzing environmental problems from the cognitive view of the social actors involved, seeking to permeate the mere mechanistic and unsystematic observation of environmental issues. The use of this form of analysis was applied in the coastal county of Paracuru, which belongs to the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, Ceará. Based on the methodology proposed by Minayo et al. (2005), 100 questionnaires related to the universe of 8770 households occupied permanently were applied. The same procedure was carried out with the county's environmental management. The results showed that, in general, the agents recognize environmental problems and the vulnerability of the environments. On the other hand, the managers add as problems the pressure for illegal shrimp farming, lack of incentive to environmental inspection, as well as the precarious fulfillment of the criteria for the county to license. Besides that, it proved the essential need for popular participation in the inspection and charge of social and environmental improvements.
