contents THE SYMBOLIC SPHERE AND SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF SERRA DA TIRIRICA STATE PARK, RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL Douglas de Souza Pimentel Teresa Cristina Magro Geografía Social State Park Management Symbolic image Social representations Serra da Tiririca State Park (Parque Estadual da Serra da Tiririca-PESET) is located in an area of rich environmental history between the cities of Niterói and Maricá in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Establi- shed through grassroots lobbying and popular mobilization, it nevertheless hosted some mistakes that catalyzed social problems, which should have been otherwise dealt with during its creation process. We believe that social representations allow us to learn about the symbolic sphere of the social insertion of protected areas. On the one hand, the protected area is seen as a “paper park” and as a stage where conflicts related to real-estate speculation, land ownership and the political situation take place. Its po- sitive image, on the other hand, refers to the political mobilization for its creation and to the community’s vigilance. As a conclusion, the social representations must be understood so that its positive aspects may be highlighted, contribute to its regional incorporation and aid in the Park’s management. 2011 artículo científico 0103-1570 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=321327202010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3213 Sociedade & Natureza application/pdf Universidade Federal de Uberlândia Sociedade & Natureza (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.23
