Abstract This Decree creates in the State of Paraná the Special Areas of Regulated Use - ARESUR. These areas cover territorial portions of the State characterized by the existence of the Crop System production, with the objective of creating conditions for the improvement of the quality of life of the resident and the maintenance of its cultural heritage, reconciling agro-silvopastoral activities with environmental conservation, including the protection of "araucaria angustifolia" (pine-do-Paraná). Only crops who meet the concept contained in article 1 may be registered in the State Register of Conservation Units - CEUC. The crops registered at CEUC should be evaluated annually and receive differential treatment, taking into account, among others, variables such as: population density, quality of life of the resident population, organization and community participation, and level of commitment and commitment of municipalities to the social and economic development.
