Planejamento ambiental em Goiás: licenciamento ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

The objective was to analyze the laws and regulations that guide environmental protection both nationally and in the specific context of the state of Goiás. By exploring the environmental planning instruments in force, the aim is to shed light on how the balance between economic promotion and ecological conservation is being conducted. The methodology is qualitative; technical procedures included bibliographic research, document analysis, and data collection from responsible bodies, regarding issued state environmental licenses, focusing on aspects such as license type, economic sector, and location. The first chapter traces a historical and conceptual journey of policies related to the environment and sustainable development both globally and in the Brazilian context, contextualizing the scenario that led to the formulation of current environmental planning approaches. The second chapter delves into the specific laws and regulations of the state of Goiás, analyzing the legal frameworks that guide environmental planning at the regional level and highlighting their particularities and impacts. The third chapter focuses on the analysis of the results of environmental licenses issued for agricultural activities. From the analysis of the chapters, the importance of an integrated and continuous environmental management can be observed, considering the interdependence between economic, social, and environmental aspects, in the pursuit of a lasting balance between present and future needs. Additionally, there is a significant increase in the number of licenses issued in the state of Goiás, but there is still a lack of information availability regarding these licenses. The availability of complete information on licenses would allow for better directing public policies and actions for environmental planning
