Avaliação do Zoneamento Ecológico-Econômico e das mudanças de referência das zonas ambientais no estado do Acre, Amazônia Sul-Ocidental

Abstract

The Ecological Economic Zoning of the State of Acre is designed to be a strategic guiding instrument to consolidate public policies aimed at organizing the territory in a sustainable manner. The ZEE is an instrument of environmental legislation and in Acre it is ensured by Law No. 2,693, of January 17, 2019, which amended Law No. 1,904 of June 5, 2007. The implementation of the ZEE based on zones and subzones has the intention of supporting public managers and organized civil society regarding decision-making and the use and occupation of space and its natural resources. Therefore, this work aimed to investigate the evolution of the ZEE/Acre, through a comparative analysis of the meanings, methodological guidelines and digital bases of territorial management maps, used in the phases that make up the aforementioned zoning. The analyzes carried out used the Comparative Method, developed by Fachin (2001). The digital bases were analyzed regarding changes in the features of the environmental zones from phase II to phase III and in relation to cartographic inconsistencies presented. The research showed that ZEE/Acre followed the guidelines proposed for its construction, evolving throughout the 3 phases. As for geospatial inconsistencies, they proved to be a challenge in managing digital databases, which require constant measurement. In reference to new public policy proposals, a change in the priorities of economic development is noted, turning activities towards agriculture to the detriment of the potential for preservation and conservation of the territory.
