Comparative analysis of management tools: Management Plan of Itupararanga’s environmental protection area and Municipal Master Plans
Abstract The Itupararanga’s environmental protection area (APA) was created in 1998 and includes areas from the municipalities of Aluminio, Cotia, Votorantim, Vargem Grande Paulista, Mairinque, São Roque, Piedade and Ibiúna. It is an important conservation area regionally because it was created to preserve the region's water source: the Itupararanga’s reservoir. The goal of this study was to analyze the Management Plan of the APA and the Municipal Master Plans in the areas of intersection, surveying the possible conflicts of land use. The elaboration of Municipal Master Plans showed a small connection with the APA, which resulted in 12 conflicts of use and occupation of land (about 20% of APA area) in the zones between the APA and the area proposed by the Master Plan. Thus, we note the importance of reviewing the Master Plan and Management Plan for the APA to achieve the maintenance of environmental quality and sustainable development.
