Investigando o perfil e elementos motivacionais de plantadores de árvores em suas práticas de protagonismo ambiental

Abstract

This paper derives from research that aimed to investigate environmental protagonism practices related to tree planting. Thus, we sought to investigate the motivations involved in this practices promoted by social actors in different spaces. Social network ethnography and oral histories were used, and the criteria for analysis were based on this process. The social actors were identified through news from mass media, in a community on Facebook, called "Tree Planters", and also through indications, being selected to interviews residents in small, medium and large urban spot. There are indications, according to the main results, that there is a relationship between the central motivation of planters and their cause of planting with the theme of belonging and that the understanding of the relations between knowledge and doing seems to be important in this process. These notes indicate that the plurality of knowledge, actions, cultures and optics are present, making room for discussion about an environmental rationality involved.
