Description
Summary:Abstract Given the growth the oil industry faced in contemporary Brazil and, since the Environmental Education is a compensatory measure in the federal environmental licensing, the aims of the present article are: i) mapping the publications on "environmental vulnerability"; ii) checking on the incorporation of such concept into the institutional and legal environmental education (EE) framework in oil licensing iii) understanding how the mentioned concept is used by economic agents in Macaé city. The methodology consisted of a participant observation approach used during the implementation of an EA program in Macae between 2012 and 2014, as well as of literature review, data collection in the legislation on EA in oil licensing and in technical documents produced by economic agents. Despite the advancement of academic discussions about the "environmental vulnerability" concept, we see the absence of clear criteria to define the social groups in vulnerability situations in educational activities concerning the environmental licensing. Resumo Considerando o crescimento do setor petrolífero no Brasil contemporâneo e a Educação Ambiental como medida compensatória no licenciamento ambiental federal, os objetivos deste trabalho são: i) realizar um mapeamento das publicações sobre o tema "vulnerabilidade socioambiental"; ii) verificar se há incorporação de tal conceito no arcabouço institucional-legal da Educação Ambiental (EA) no licenciamento de petróleo; e iii) compreender como o mencionado conceito é usado pelos agentes econômicos atuantes no município de Macaé. A metodologia do estudo consistiu em observação participante durante o processo de implementação de um Programa de EA em Macaé entre 2012 e 2014, revisão da literatura, coleta de dados na legislação referente à EA no licenciamento de petróleo e em documentos técnicos produzidos pelos agentes econômicos. Apesar do avanço da discussão acadêmica a respeito do conceito de "vulnerabilidade socioambiental", observa-se uma ausência de critérios claros para a definição dos grupos sociais em situação de vulnerabilidade quanto às ações educativas no licenciamento ambiental. Resumen Teniendo en cuenta el crecimiento de la industria del petróleo en Brasil contemporáneo, y que la Educación Ambiental es una medida compensatoria en el proceso de licenciamiento ambiental federal, los objetivos de este trabajo son: i) verificar las publicaciones sobre "vulnerabilidad socioambiental"; ii) verificar si la incorporación d
