Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências e Meio Ambiente) – Instituto de Ciências Exatas e Naturais, Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, 2017.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/667The Amazon Region provides, besides its fauna and flora, one of the most beautiful folkloric spectacles: the Parintins Festival. The “Tupinambarana Isle” – as Parintins City is known – welcomes thousands of different people that visit the city during the Festival nicknamed as the “Boi Bumbás”. Such event has been responsible by the heating of local tourism, realizing the true cultural potential of the city of Parintins. Such is the reason why interest has arisen in the making of the present Case Study, named as “The socio-environmental impacts of the Folkloric Festival to the tourism and community in the city of Parintins”. Not to take away from the cultural and touristic importance of the Folkloric Festival of Parintins, several impacts of different strands have been acknowledged during it, such as the production of solid residue and the final destination of the produced garbage, which brings about serious biohazard impacts. Such facts generate the necessity of the promotion of environmental campaigns which encourage the local population and tourists to contribute with the preservation of the environment, via means of selected discarding of garbage in special designed containments. Such actions will surely contribute with the workers of the local Garbage Collectors Association, which has been unable to generate enough throughput to deal with the risen demand during the festival. We highlight the data in the research that shows that, especially to the hotel and commercial sectors, the festival has become a primordial source of income. More than 70% of the subjects involved in the research (community and tourists alike) have considered the event as highly important to the development of Parintins. In this manner, in the current dissertation, campaigns have been put in motion that strengthens the participatory behavior of the local community and tourists, in respect to the correct discarding of garbage during the Folkloric Festival of Parintins.pdf.TurismoFestival Folclórico de ParintinsImpactosColeta de lixoSustentabilidadeDissertaçãoCiências Ambientais
