Abstract

This thesis discusses the participation and social management in Mosaico Veredas-Peruaçu. This mosaic was chosen because of geographic location (north-west of Minas Gerais), the official programs that foster participation and distinctive characteristics to relate to the surrounding community. The research aimed to analyze the nature of the relationship between the expression of Deliberative Democracy and the Gift of directors that comprise it. Apart from this addition to this, it is proposed: 1) To analyze the institutionalization of participatory management in mosaic; 2) Discuss, in the light of the experiences of participants and subjects represented in the meetings, the importance of the board in the management of UC's. To achieve these goals was made a literature review to identify and document the institutionalization of participatory management in the conservation unit. For the analysis of the documents we used content analysis. The second step was a narrative experience, through the application of semi-structured interviews, which took elements of analysis as the successive records of meetings and the experiences of the participants and the community represented at the meeting. There are 58 councilors in total, and the research focused on 17 members who worked both in the National Park Grande Sertão Veredas and Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Veredas do Acari. For analysis of the interviews used the Analysis of Collective Subject Discourse. Thus, when the paradigm-utilitarian analysis of society and entering the donation as a possible element of management, it is expected to understand a little better the reasons for which a shared management is effective. Based on the study is expected to broaden the debate on donation and social participation; contribute to the development of actions to improve the management of parks, via Social Management; open new avenues for research in UC's.
