Gestão do projeto de recuperação de áreas degradadas : estratégia para aperfeiçoamento

Abstract

Reclamation project management is deficient in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. This study attempted to outline an overview of the methodology employed in these projects and the basic demands made by professionals, in design and management information generated for PRAD’s implementation. Techniques opinions from environmental recovery professionals were obtained through interviews and an online extension course about reclamation projects. In all, 24 technicians between interviews and extension course participants were surveyed. In addition, we analyzed 57 PRADs designed to rural properties located in Alto Araguaia city, Mato Grosso. Interviews showed that in PRAD preparation stage, reported data usually follows a pre-established and synthetic model, similar to each other, mainly when it explained technical justifications of methodologies election and description of the environmental assessment relating to damaged areas and degradation process. As demands mentioned by interviewed professionals, we observed a need for more detailed roadmaps oriented to technical leaders and landowners to help them in conducting project activities. In monitoring stage, data needs to be managed in order to identify and correct process failures to better match future proposals, through PDCA cycle methodology. Nevertheless, this discussion would require greater cooperation between professionals, technicians inspecting agencies, academics and landowners in socializes outcomes of different PRADs, which could promote technical and scientific improvement into ecological restoration.
