IMPACTOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS DAS INVASÕES EM APP ÀS MARGENS DO JARDIM BOTÂNICO DE GOIÂNIA

Abstract

Abstract: Considering the vital importance of the Amália Hermano Teixeira Botanical Garden (JBATH) as a living museum of the Cerrado biome, along with its environmental and aesthetic degradation caused by the presence of residences and commercial activities, this study aims to clarify the true value of conserving this area. It seeks to raise awareness among the population and responsible authorities to enable the proper management of environmental care and of the families living in irregular occupations. To this end, an exploratory-descriptive research design was adopted, based on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Thus, a mismatch is observed between the planned city and the lived city, where the degradation of the Permanent Preservation Area (APP) results from state failure and socio-spatial segregation, with these occupations serving as survival tactics. It is concluded that public authorities must adopt solutions that go beyond punitive measures, understanding the different dynamics of land use in this area.
