Gestão de resíduos sólidos gerados pelo turismo em parques nacionais: análise comparativa entre Brasil e Canadá

Abstract

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.
