Abstract

This analysis, focused on the ambient impacts in the city of Manaus: a search for understanding, will contribute to discussions concerning the importance of a management shared with emphasis in the co-responsibility of the public space and also in the quality of urban life in order to stimulate, preventive actions increasingly, without neglecting the necessity of dealing with the corrective ones. The development pattern that has characterized our civilization in the two last centuries leads irremediably to the situation of the current environmental degradation in our cities. This study deals with the environmental implications that affect the inhabitants of the city of Manaus around the municipal park of the Mindu as a result of the lack of preservation of the natural space. The process of reproduction of the urban space leads us in front of deep transformations because each citizen points out in to a space wich determines, in the level of the daily life, the collective construction of the city, what it strengthens the necessity to identify the roles and the responsibilities of the diverse actors in face to the environmental issues and to the necessity reading consensus around them. Search to adopt a dialectical approach that allows a dialogue with various skills to understand the phenomenon in question. It is essential to articulate the search for political, cultural, social, and educational vision that comprise the world of the residents living around the municipal park of Mindu. The technical procedures include operating a set of qualitative, quantitative, compatible and complementary instruments to obtuin, organize and systematize data in the study . To consolidate this discussion, we understand that the study, although strongly environmently, is not an ecological-naturalist vision. It is supposed to from a discerning reflection of the relation of the urban space, to understand the process of production of the urban issues, its relation with the natural environment where the man inserts himself as a being that produces cultures.
