Abstract

This dissertation deals with the theme of Environmental Problems in Insular Environments and Environmental Management in the municipality of Cairu-BA, choosing as a research problem “environmental problems, loss of biodiversity, final provision of waste, solids, disorderly urban growth and lack of basic sanitation, that has taken place in recent decades”. The research's guiding questions are the following: what environmental problems have been increasing in recent decades in the municipality of Cairú, Bahia? Is there a relationship between the absence of public policies for environmental management in the municipality of Cairu-Bahia and the occurrence of environmental problems? The research had the following specific objectives: To identify the environmental problems that have occurred in recent decades in the city of CairuBahia; raise the main laws that are related to environmental management in the municipality of Cairu, Bahia, in the last decades. The analysis of the research data does not allow us to say with certainty that the insular environmental problems that occur in Cairu are related to the absence of public policies for environmental management, but it does identify participants in the management of tourism that can contribute to the development of these problems. Finally, the work generated a methodological proposal for the elaboration of the municipal plan for the development of sustainable tourism in Cairu-BA, which is an important tool to combine economic activity with environmental interests, helping to mitigate the environmental impacts that the insular ecosystems of the municipality has supported.
