ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF <strong>UAKARI</strong> FLOATING LODGEUSING INTERACTION MATRIXES.AVALIAÇÃO DE IMPACTO AMBIENTAL DA POUSADA FLUTUANTE UACARIUTILIZANDO MATRIZES DE INTERAÇÃO.Joao Paulo Borges Pedro 11<strong>Instituto</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Desenvolvimento</strong> Sustentável Mamirauá. E-mail: joao.paulo@mamiraua.org.brKEY WORDS:Uakari Floating Lodge;Environmental Impact Assessment;Environmental Aspect;Interaction Matrix;Leopold Matrix.PALAVRAS - CHAVE:Pousada Flutuante Uacari;Avaliação <strong>de</strong> Impacto Ambiental;Aspecto Ambiental;Matriz <strong>de</strong> Interação;Matriz <strong>de</strong> Leopold.ABSTRACTTourism impacts the environment. Therefore, the knowledge of mechanisms that allowdoing an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is critical. Among other methods weemphasize the Leopold Matrix, a kind of interaction matrix that allows clear visualizationof the potential impact of a venture or project. This article aims to show the potentialenvironmental impact of Uakari Floating Lodge, through an adaptation of the LeopoldMatrix, evaluating the Magnitu<strong>de</strong> and Importance of their environmental impacts.We found 28 environmental aspects in Uakari Lodge, being “generation of domesticwastewater” and “accumulation of used batteries” the most significant internal aspects,and “utilization of lubricating oil and fuel in motor boats ri<strong>de</strong>s” and “generation of gasesfrom fuel combustion in boat ri<strong>de</strong>s” the most significant external aspects. All of them werei<strong>de</strong>ntified as environmental aspects with potential for Direct (84.6%), Reversible (76.9%),Insignificant (46.2%) or Mo<strong>de</strong>rated (53.8%), and Local (100%) impacts. The results indicatethe environmental aspects raised have low impact to the natural environment, consi<strong>de</strong>ringthe enterprise scale. However, we should find ways to mitigate their effects, once theUakari Floating Lodge is located in a Protected area (Area).RESUMOO turismo é impactante ao ambiente. Por isso, é fundamental o conhecimento <strong>de</strong> mecanismosque permitem realizar uma Avaliação <strong>de</strong> Impacto Ambiental (AIA). Entre outros métodos,<strong>de</strong>staca-se a Matriz <strong>de</strong> Leopold, um tipo <strong>de</strong> matriz <strong>de</strong> interação que permite visualizar <strong>de</strong>forma clara o potencial <strong>de</strong> impacto <strong>de</strong> empreendimento/projeto em estudo. Este artigo teve porobjetivo <strong>de</strong>monstrar o potencial <strong>de</strong> impacto ambiental da Pousada Flutuante Uacari, através daadaptação da Matriz <strong>de</strong> Leopold, com valoração <strong>de</strong> Magnitu<strong>de</strong> e Importância <strong>de</strong> seus aspectosambientais. No total, foram levantados 27 aspectos ambientais, sendo “geração <strong>de</strong> efluentesdomésticos” e “acúmulo <strong>de</strong> baterias e pilhas usadas” os aspectos internos mais significativos, e“Utilização <strong>de</strong> óleos lubrificantes e combustível nos motores dos botes <strong>de</strong> passeio” e “geração<strong>de</strong> gases provenientes queima <strong>de</strong> combustíveis nos botes <strong>de</strong> passeio” os aspectos externos maisimportantes. Todos eles foram i<strong>de</strong>ntificados como aspectos ambientais com potencial <strong>de</strong> impactoDireto (84.6%), Reversíveis (76.9%), Insignificantes (46.2%) ou Mo<strong>de</strong>rados (53.8%), e Local(100%). Os resultados apontam que os aspectos ambientais levantados são pouco impactantesao ambiente natural, visto a escala do empreendimento. Entretanto, <strong>de</strong>ve-se buscar meiospara mitigar seus efeitos, uma vez que a Pousada Uacari está localizada em uma Unida<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>Conservação.29
