Abstract(s)
The residents around Rufina beach are an unique case of knowledge and experience in a fluvial ecosystem of great ecological relevance in Amazon, vital source to the planet and an important subject for all citizens. Currently, it is also a focus of study in several areas of natural and human sciences, in particular due to the specific role that women play in society. Natural resources, such as forest, soil and water, impose themselves as immediate targets for preservation, particularly by residents who daily experience tourism and withdraw their livelihood from these waters. In line with the goal 14 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by United Nations (UN), a global appeal to sustainability in general, this research aims to describe survival and tourism actions in the sparsely populated region located in MucajaĆ, RR, Brazil, addressing the important actions of women in this region. The descriptive methodology is directed to the attitudes of citizens around the MucajaĆ River. For a good resource management, an awareness raising meeting has stimulated actions to minimize the aesthetic stress on the aquatic landscape, a negative factor for geotourism, and which has as its principle conservation the inclusion of local citizens. It can be concluded that awareness and ecologically correct attitudes, such as the reduction of river pollution, guarantee social and environmental sustainability for all.
