Nova orla da praia da pedra do sal em Parnaíba (PI): percepção dos impactos por parte dos barraqueiros

Abstract

This study analyzes the perception of the barraqueiros (owners of tents and kiosks) of Praia da Pedra do Sal, Parnaíba-PI, considering the construction of the new waterfront and the various transformations that have been taking place in the space. For this purpose, bibliographic research, documentary (with primary data collection) and field (through the application of semi-structured interviews) were carried out. Among the observed results, it is pointed out that the owners of bars and kiosks perceive the construction of the new waterfront in multiple ways, understanding the at the same time identifying issues that still persist as a hindrance to local tourism development. With this, it is concluded that the new shore of the salt stone brought benefits, but still lacks improvements, and it is suggested to carry out new studies, in view of the little attention given by local tourism studies.
