Análise da percepção dos moradores dos bairros do Costa do Sol e do Língamo sobre a educação embiental: uma análise comparativa

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perception of residents of the Costa do Sol and Língua neighborhoods about Environmental Education (EA). The methodology used to obtain data is of a qualitative-exploratory nature, based on systematic observation and interviews. For this purpose, 30 residents were interviewed, 15 in each neighborhood, subdivided into five in each block, selected using a non-probabilistic method for convenience. The study concludes that half of the interviewees perceive that AE is a way of educating man to know how to take care of the environment and all resources, however, they still perceive the importance of mangrove vegetation and the adverse impacts of its destruction, however the residents interviewees in the neighborhood of Língamo realize about EE and no longer implant houses of bite in the areas of the mangrove vegetation, unlike those in the neighborhood of Costa do Sol, who do not perceive and still implant houses of houses in the areas of the mangrove vegetation. Thus, the study recommends that all residents concerned move out of their own accord in areas of mangrove vegetation, and those from the Costa do Sol neighborhood in particular, not to continue to install houses in these areas and to the Municipal Council, to do surveillance, monitoring, adopting inclusive EA strategies and prohibiting the construction of houses in the mangrove areas.
