Abstract

Ecotourism is an activity expanding due to direct contact with nature visitor. This practice can be developed in areas called protected areas, and the category of national park is the most sought by visitors because this has many attractions, enabling the development of environmental education activities in order to alert visitors to not there is such an impact during his visitation. The mountain National Park Itabaiana is a conservation unit that receives visitations on their historical, religious and cultural significance of the mountain. However, disordered visitation is causing serious impacts to trails and attractive points. In this context, the present study aimed to survey the infrastructure and the impacts caused by visitors to the mountain PARNA Itabaiana. For this, a semi-structured questionnaire with different visitors several interesting sites and access roads within the national park was applied. For them, the PA provides not only recreational and ecological benefits as a natural resource, demonstrating a bit keen insight. The monitoring visits will allow the planning of management activities, to meet the needs of its patrons. We suggest the implementation of environmental education programs using techniques of environmental interpretation to sharpen the sensitivity of existing visitor on environmental issues within the PARNA, such as drafting a quick visit with a proper language to the type of visitor that frequents the park.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication

The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
