Management Effectiveness at the Ibitipoca State Park, Minas Gerais

ABSTRACT The issue of the conservation units management effectiveness depends on the knowledge of whether the management politics in theses conservation units are adequate to its creation goal, which is the conservation of biodiversity. This study aimed to analyze the management effectiveness at the Ibitipoca state park, encompassing the municipalities of Lima Duarte and Santa Rita do Ibitipoca, in Southeastern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The park management effectiveness was assessed from four modules: planning, inputs, processes and management results, where each module consisted of assessment of different parameters. Results showed a level of 54% of management effectiveness, which represents an averagely satisfactory level. The need for investments in human resources, inadequacy in financial resources and decision-making were highlighted as challenges, and compliance with the objectives, research, supervision and monitoring were highlighted as opportunities.摘要 保护地管理成效的核心判定依据，在于明确此类保护地的管理政策是否足以匹配其设立初衷——即生物多样性保护目标。本研究以位于巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州东南部、涵盖利马杜阿尔特市与圣丽塔-杜伊比蒂波卡市的伊比蒂波卡州立公园（Ibitipoca State Park）为研究对象，旨在分析其管理成效。本次评估从规划、投入、流程与管理成果四个模块展开，每个模块均包含多项不同参数的考核环节。研究结果显示，该公园的管理成效得分为54%，处于中等偏满意水平。研究同时指出，人力资源投入不足、财政资源配置不当以及决策机制待完善是当前面临的主要挑战，而契合管理目标的实践、科研开展、监督与监测工作则为潜在优化机遇。
