Abstract

This research discusses the legal aspects governing socioenvironmental issues, in particular, the feasibility and the legal applicability of that established in the environmental legislation in Catalão, Goiás (GO), Brasil, aiming at the environmental preservation, among other aspects, from the perspective of insertion/vision/perception in the geographic and legal spheres. These factors are intrinsic to each of the components, where the geographic space has regional and local influences, in accordance with legal analysis, defining the cultural aspect of the subject. The development of this proposal was based on environmental legislation in different levels; in Brazil, in the State of Goiás and in Catalão, with a focus on the different applicability of environmental legislation explained in the Plano Diretor Municipal (Municipal Master Plan) approved in 2016 and implemented through the Law 3.439/2016, in particular, on the real applicability of this legislation for preservation of environment, among other guidelines. One can affirm that the aforementioned municipal legislation promotes advances with regard to the need to preserve the environmental heritage in the territory of Catalão, establishing guidelines to be implemented through the Código Ambiental Municipal (Municipal Environment Code), concatenated with the creation of the Sistema Municipal do Meio Ambiente (SISMUMA) (Environmental Municipal System) to regulate the operation of the Órgão Ambiental Municipal (Municipal Environmental Agency), the Conselho Municipal do Meio Ambiente (Municipal Environment Council) and the Fundo Municipal do Meio Ambiente (Municipal Environmental Fund), among other aspects, aiming at structuring a Sistema Municipal de Gestão do Ambiente (Municipal Environmental Management System). Thus, based on this structure, the legal feasibility and the effective implementation of administrative structure proposed by municipal legislators in the Plano Diretor (2016) (Master Plan) is corroborated – considering what is established in the environmental legislation in different levels –, as it is feasible and can be carried out according to various administrative interests. In conclusion, the environmental legislation of Catalão (GO) is advanced, up-to-date and in consonance with the constitutional principles. The Plano Diretor (Master Plan) in force provides the guidelines for an efficient management of environmental heritage. However, administration based on planning aligned with the interests of the community is lacking. This research doesn’t end here, on the contrary, a range of information and / or reflections was opened in order to enable new study proposals whose objectives will be to ensure the survival of what remains of balanced landscapes, capable of guaranteeing the socio-environmental survival of human in his different territories.
