Abstract

The present study aimed to apply the SWOT method as a tool to analyze the use of environmental education in the Ivinhema River Basin State Park (PEVRI), located in the municipality of Jateí/MS. This study is also part of the teaching and extension activities aimed at the restructuring of the PEVRI Management Plan. A qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research was conducted with the purpose of pointing out the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities. The information was obtained after in situ observation through technical trip and later bibliographical survey. The collected data were collected in the SWOT matrix. The matrix was scored taking into account the degree of importance of the situations that exist in the park. Based on the results, a table was created with the internal aspects and external aspects of the PEVRI. The SWOT was analyzed by Luz Planilhas Empresariais Program 3.0. The result of the comparison of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats shows that although the park has a degraded structure, it has potential for recreation, leisure and environmental education. However, little attention has been paid by public authorities to socio-environmental integration and maintenance of the park. Through cross-data analysis in the SWOT matrix, it can be seen that the strategies involve action plans for population awareness, involvement of public agencies, partnerships with the academic community, among others. Thus, despite the negative points, the PEVRI has positive aspects that can leverage the development of Environmental Education activities.
