Resumo:
This research shows that the effects of tourism in National Parks have positive and
negative points, therefore, it aims to compare the management of solid waste
generated by tourism between Brazil and Canada and, as specific objectives: a)
Identify Public Policies Solid Waste in Protected Areas of each country studied; b)
Identify in the studied Parks the factors that influence the generation of Solid Waste
from tourism and c) Raise the potential and threats in the management of Solid Waste
generated by tourism in National Parks with a focus on two Brazilian parks and two
Canadian parks. Using SWOT, the waste management of the four National Parks was
compared, based on documental research and a defined semi-structured interview.
Qualitatively, the differences by location, structure and resources originated from
exploratory and descriptive research. To create special standards, we work with the
proportionalities between Parks and the influencing factors of waste generation. The
results also revealed that despite the difference in laws between Brazil and Canada,
there are problems in both countries, as well as solutions in both that can be structured
and implemented between National Parks to improve solid waste management.
