The Impact of a National Vision of Permits to Provide Support Services to Visitation in Protected Areas at the Federal Level

Abstract

This article is an account of the experience brought about by the change in the flow of authorization processes for the provision of visitation support services in federal protected areas. It presents the results of a practical act of internal facilitation for the development of the modeling of authorization processes to provide visitation support services in federal protected areas, managed by Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (Brazilian institution responsible for the management of federal protected areas), which is currently developed in the Planning and Authorization for Visitation Division. The performance contributes to the organization and management of processes, generating significant cumulative results, in compliance with the constitutional principle of efficiency in Public Administration; in addition to acting, also, in guaranteeing the population’s right to a balanced environment.
