Mecanismos de aplicação dos arranjos institucionais pelo comitê de gestão comunitária, para o uso sustentável dos recursos florestais no povoado de Mirone

Abstract

The present degree work, seeks to evaluate the mechanisms of application of institutional arrangements by the Community Management Committee - CGC, for the sustainable use of forest resources, with a view to producing additional information for the knowledge of the functioning of CGCs. The work had as a case study, the Village of Mirone (Administrative Post 3 de Fevereiro, Distrito da Manhiça), and was carried out in 07 months. After an in-depth literature search on CGCs, participatory management and institutional arrangements for Community Management of Forest Resources - MCRF, a guide of questions (oriented to specific objectives) was produced for semi-structured interviews with the CGC, Community, Local Power Structure and to the Organizations involved in the committee formation process. The study found that informal institutions for the MCRF are those with the highest degree of observance in the community, as they are incorporated into community norms, customs, myths and ceremonies, transmitting themselves from generation to generation. The application of institutional arrangements is made through community sensitization and observation of forest management in the forest exploitation sites of community members, by the CGC and also by the community itself. The study concluded that, although there is an effort by the CGC to apply the institutional arrangements for the MCRF, its poor functioning (either due to external factors such as the lack of official recognition, and internal factors such as the weak dynamism of the majority of its members), makes it difficult to ensure full integrity. application of formal and informal institutions and their observance by the community, taking into account the food insecurity verified in Mirone. For the survival of the CGC, the study recommends the replacement of some CGC members (given as inactive), formal recognition (officialization) of the CGC for the purposes it was created and its consultation by competent entities.(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
