Descentralização do licenciamento ambiental e a sua importância para a sociedade cuiabana

Abstract

This exhibition aims to make some observations and reflections on the Wake of municipal environmental licensing, focusing on the requirement of the proposed action alternatives, as presented in the legal environment in Brazil. The municipal environmental licensing, due to its eminently preventive returns us to the virtue of prudence, so that good results are obtained. All the work of municipal environmental licensing is directed to justify the need to deploy the project in its original design. Make sure to have taken reasonable measures to safeguard the preservation of the environment. This justification is related to the form of accountability of the agency responsible for population, because it has the right to participation, especially when directly affected. But if you really want to preserve, it is necessary to expand the democratic practice, so it is essential that the population to participate directly in the mechanisms of representative democracy. Not to mention the lack of opportunities for the population to participate in other moments of the process, clearly regulated, which grants the permits necessary for construction and operation works. Open formal channels of community participation in environmental licensing process, we highlight the need to establish procedures to govern and organize the participation, from the outset and at various stages of licensing the project.
