Abstract

This Resolution, consisting of 5 articles, establishes criteria for the characterization of sustainable tourism activities or enterprises of social interest for the occupation of Coastal Zone dunes without vegetation. Sustainable tourism activities and enterprise related to the use of dunes lacking original vegetation may be declared of social interest through specific administrative procedures approved by the State Environmental Council. In order to be declared of social interest the sustainable activities or enterprises must abide to the following requirements: possess regular water supply and the collection and/or treatment and/or adequate release of wastes; be compatible with the Municipality’s Master Plan, according to current legislation; not pose any threat to the essential natural attributes of the area, notably the landscape, water and geologic balance and biodiversity; provide the local population with socioeconomic benefits and not cause any negative effects to the same; obtain previous authorization from the Union or Municipality, when applicable; safeguard free access to beaches and water bodies; consider the opinions of the potentially effected human populations through a Public hearing; and provide, preferentially, accesses (pavements, sidewalks) built with materials that do not hinder the infiltration of rain waters.
