Perceptions of managers about Brazilian PAs

brazil is one of the mega biodiverse countries on the planet. as a strategy to safeguard its biodiversity, the country has heavily relied on protected areas (pas). however, gaps in research and management of pas, in brazil and in other countries, still exist, so studies that include rapid assessment and prioritization of protected areas management (rappam) are essential to evaluate the role and performance of pas. the aim of this data colection was, among others, to assess the effectiveness of brazilian pas based on perceptions of managers and researchers, using a mix-method approach that includes, but is not limited to, rappam. we applied two online surveys (oss), in 2016 and 2017, with managers and other staff of brazilian pas, and obtained 306 fully- or partially-responded surveys. the research permits required at the time of the beginning of this research project (april 2015) were obtained from icmbio. os1 was authorized under the registration number 55227-1 with the biodiversity authorization and information system (sisbio) and os2 was authorized under the registration number 55227-2. this survey compiled with informed consent, privacy and confidentiality procedures, in addition to the right to withdraw from the online surveys prior to publication.

巴西作为地球上生物多样性极为丰富的巨型国家之一，为维护其生物多样性，该国一直高度依赖保护区（PAS）作为战略手段。然而，在巴西及其他国家，保护区在研究和管理工作上仍存在诸多不足，因此，包括快速评估和保护区管理优先级排序（RAPPAM）在内的研究显得尤为关键，以评估保护区的角色与绩效。本数据集收集的目的之一，便是基于管理者与研究人员的主观感知，对巴西保护区的有效性进行评估，采用包括但不限于RAPPAM的混合方法研究。我们于2016年和2017年进行了两次在线调查（OSS），针对巴西保护区的管理人员及其他工作人员，共收集到306份完整或部分回答的问卷。在研究项目开始之时（2015年4月）所需的研究许可已由ICMBio获得。OS1在生物多样性授权与信息系统（SISBIO）下获得注册号55227-1的授权，而OS2则获得注册号55227-2的授权。本调查在知情同意、隐私与保密程序的基础上进行，同时确保了在线调查参与者有权在出版物发布前退出。
