A política ambiental de Maringá como instrumento de desenvolvimento sustentável : uma análise a partir da legislação ambiental municipal

Abstract

Sustainability, an issue not so recent, but hardly ever fully grasped by most of society. What is to be sustainable? What is sustainable development? What is its importance for present and future generations? Maringá, a young city average of the Northwest Paraná, which propagates the idea of environmental quality for its lush greenery and economic development to the point that in recent decades have attracted an increasing amount of people in search of the envisioned quality and improvement life. So much that the city takes the jargon of Green Town, the Brazilian Dallas, and now Healthy Maringá. Pejorative synonyms for believing and spreading the idea that we live in a sustainable environment. But it is possible to sustain the claim that Maringá is a city that goes along the lines of sustainable development? Environmental policy proposal and managed by our executive has led the city this status? And our municipal law, in terms of environmental issues, has collaborated in this direction? To what extent the community is embedded in the process and why? These are questions that we talked throughout this work, to develop a discussion that will lead us to realize how important the individual deposits in the theories that surround the quality of life and public policy. To what extent the cultural heritage left by our ancestors, influences on our attitudes to the changes that are urgent in times of environmental crisis, a certainty that life whatsoever, nor ever will be renewed, not always exist and quality Life is not just related to the acquisition of material wealth and power, but also human life developing in harmony and balance with socio-environmental preservation.
