Abstract

The Serra do Tabuleiro State Park (PEST) is the largest Conservation Unit in the State of Santa Catarina with a territory that corresponds to approximately one percent of the State. Created in 1975, it has since been the subject of conflicts between the population that feels disadvantaged by the creation of the park and the public power. This article analyzes the process that began in 2004 and resulted in 2009 in the change of category of conservation unit of parts of the Park. The analysis of this process focuses on the Baixada do Maciambú, in the municipality of Palhoça, which changed from the category of park to the category of Environmental Preservation Area (APA). As sources, mainly periodicals, leaflets explaining to the residents and legislation were used. The analysis of the process of recategorization of the Baixada do Maciambú was based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Environmental History, insofar as one can perceive the role of the environment and its influence on human life and vice versa, as well as its representation and perception . As a result, it has been that the recategorization project was not unanimous among the subjects involved and therefore generated conflicts between those who were in favor and those who were against recategorization. In addition, even defined in law in 2009, the efforts expended in this project run the risk of being annulled from the understanding of the Attorney General's Office that in 2015 filed a Direct Unconstitutionality Action against the law that changed the UC, which gives to the theme an even more current and relevant character.
