A perspectiva sociocultural e econômica dos pescadores artesanais urbanos do bairro de São José Operário Parintins-AM

Abstract

Fishing is one of the oldest and most important socioeconomic and cultural activities that the riverside peoples of the Amazon develop and translate as the main food source of their families. In this research we seek to study the sociocultural and economic perspective of urban artisanal fishermen in the neighborhood of São José Operário, where we also aim to study the social and environmental reality of these artisanal urban fishermen; as well as to identify the main socio-environmental problems faced by fishermen; know a little about the life history of fishermen in the neighborhood of São José; recognize the social, economic and cultural importance of fishing for fishing families. We develop research through a dialectical approach and through bibliographic research we seek to understand the theme. We also used the interview as techniques to register the positioning of urban artisanal fishermen who are named social subjects of this research. It is a qualitative work, as it discusses the data collected in line with the reality and the dynamics in which it happens. The results obtained from this research showed that the traditional fishing activities developed by social subjects are historical and of great value for the municipality of Parintins AM, but it goes unnoticed in the eyes of society, as well as the public policies of the municipality.
