| Summary: | The coast of Paraná presents natural ecosystems that are extensive, diverse, and with unique beauty. Its social reality is diverse and contrasting. Vast areas under conservation, scarcely populated, coexist with a big port city, and beach resorts with very rapid growth rates. This regional dynamics, which attracts increasing numbers of population from other regions of the state and from other nearby states, is not enough to alleviate poverty. At the same time, the profuse environment protection laws are inefficient to avoid increasing environmental degradation. This paper offers recent socio-economie data, which are analyzed by groups of municipalities, aiming at understanding the specific elements that operate in the reproduction of poverty and environmental impacts. |
