INSTITUIÇÔES E QUESTÃO AMBIENTAL: Conselhos Municipais de Meio Ambiente no Paraná (institutions and environmental issues: local environmental councils in paraná state)
Abstract
As instituições estatais e a sua regulamentação sobre o
território são temas indispensáveis para o estudo da relação entre a
sociedade e o ambiente. Neste artigo, destaca-se a institucionalização
da questão ambiental, com foco sobre a situação dos conselhos municipais
de meio ambiente no Estado do Paraná, reconhecendo-os como instituições
importantes na escala local, notadamente pelo seu caráter
participativo. É, portanto, no município que a proximidade da política
abre a possibilidade de inserção dos temas ambientais mais urgentes nas
agendas locais, pelos conselhos. Assim, se aposta no desenvolvimento e
na consolidação destes fóruns participativos para a definição de
prioridades relacionadas à questão ambiental. Os conselhos municipais de
meio ambiente são instituições bem difundidas e consolidadas no
território paranaense? Estão em operação ou existem apenas
formalmente? Quais são as funções destes conselhos? Estas questões
fizeram parte das inquietações que originaram o artigo.
Palavras-chave: conselhos municipais de meio ambiente; questão ambiental; instituições.

themes to the study of the relationship between society and the
environment. This work studies the institutionalization of the
environmental issue and makes a diagnosis about the local environmental
councils of the Paraná State, recognizing them as important institutions
in the local scale. Thus, the proximity of the local politics opens the
opportunity of insert the environmental themes on the political agenda,
by the councils. So, the emphasis of this article is on the development
and consolidation of these participative forums to define the
priorities about the environmental issue. Are local environmental
councils institutions well disseminated and consolidated in the Paraná’s
territory? Are they in activity or exist only formally? Which are
their functions? These questions form part of the concerns that gave
rise to article.
Key words: local environmental councils; environmental issue; institutions.

question environnementale, materialisé sur la situation des conseils
municipaux de l’environnement dans l’état du Parana – Brésil, parce que
sont des institutions importants dans l’échelle locale, pour sa
caractéristique participative. Dans cette échelle, la proximité de la

dans le discussion publique, pour les conseils. Ces sont centrales pour
le développement et la consolidation des forums participatifs pour la
définition des priorités des populations. Les conseils municipaux de
l’environment sont institutions bien distribués et consolidés dans le
territoire du Parana? Ils sont en fonctionnement ou ils n’existent que
formalement? Quels sont les attributions des conseils? Ces questions
