Do Caminho à Trilha. As perspectivas do lazer e do habitar na Transcarioca

The tension between the perspectives of living and leisure is analyzed here based on the experience of residents of the Pedra Branca massif (Rio de Janeiro), which have been living there traditionally and have been suffering the consequences of the transformation of their home in a unity of environmental protection. Furthermore, with the conflicts generated by the restriction of space use for the residents, this reflection intends to understand the confrontation of visions, interests and environmental experiences which exist between the perspective of local residents and the visiting urban population. The aspiration to enjoy the environment by the urban segments, which are far from being homogenous, feeds itself of contrasting and particular "nature expectations", which not always agree with the desires of envronmentalists and trail promoters inside the Pedra Branca State Park. These trails have their origins in the historic paths of occupation and commerce and are linked to the occupation of the area and the rural lifestyle. Keywords Inhabiting. Environment. Tourism. A tensao entre as perspectivas do habitar e do lazer e analisada aqui a partir da experiencia dos moradores do macico da Pedra Branca (RJ), que tradicionalmente o tem habitado e que tem sofrido as consequencias da transformacao do seu lugar em unidade de conservacao ambiental. Mais alem e dos conflitos emanados das restricoes de usos de espaco para os moradores do parque, esta reflexao procura entender o confronto de visoes, interesses e experiencias ambientais existentes entre as perspectivas dos habitantes locais e da populacao urbana visitante. A aspiracao a usufruir da oferta ambiental por parte de segmentos urbanos, longe de ser homogenea, alimenta-se de contrastantes e particulares "expectativas de natureza" que nem sempre comungam com os desejos dos ambientalistas e promotores de trilhas ao interior do Parque Estadual Pedra Branca. Essas trilhas tem sua origem nos caminhos de ocupacao e comercio historicos e estao vinculadas a ocupacao da area e modos de vida rural. Palavras-chave Habitar. Meio ambiente. Turismo.
