%X The subject of this article is the Governance Dynamics
of Conservation Units (CUs). This subject is analyzed
with reference to a case study of the Carijós Ecological Station (ESEC Carijós), which is located in South
coast of Brazil, on the Island of Santa Catarina - Florianópolis, in an area of urban growth. The great majority of PAs in Brazil have governance problems. In
principal, these problems could be related to lack of
good management; of an adequate infrastructure at
the unit; and of effective environmental education of
the local community, and participatory management
that involves it. The case study, using the timeline since its creation 1987 by 2016, surveyed, endogenous
elements with influence and exogenous elements that
can interfere in the process of governance of these Units. The fruit of this study was two sets of results. The first set, comprising a Basic Analytical Model, provides
a framework for organization of the data to be collected and how they change and adapt – or not – over time.
This model showed that throughout the history of ESEC Carijós, its infrastructure has never exceeded the level
of “regular”; environmental education has varied from “negative”, when the unit was created, to “favorable” during two different periods, and participatory management achieved a “regular” rating in just one period and was
“nonexistent” in all others. There were elements in favor of the managers analyzed, who administered the unit
well, in the context of the conditions they were faced with. The second set of results, comprising a Functional
Model, is a representation that combines temporal elements (successive facts related to formation/construction)
with processes of influence/control (both endogenous and exogenous). This model showed that no administration is exclusively the result of the intentions of the local manager and the surrounding community, since the
results are dependent on external factors which, very often, are beyond their control. The exogenous factors are
determinant in a CU, very often making the local management needed in each location very difficult to achieve.
This research project has clearly shown that analysis of a system for good governance is much more complex than
initially considered and that endogenous and exogenous factors influence the types of results achieved in very
different ways. Finally, it also indicates the need for a dynamic/functional (systemic) perspective to comprehend
the structural and controlling elements of governance in PAs.
