Social conflicts are present in all relations of mankind, and it incited from the modern and
contemporary society. Among the social conflicts, those involving the use of nature are the
most worrisome, especially because of the shortage that natural resources are currently
subjected. The environment is part of diffuse interests, the individuals that the environment
would be preserved, however, there are few who embrace these goals as dominant in their
socioeconomic activities. This behavior increases the pressures on environmental
resources, including the legally protected areas. The environmental conflicts related to the
management of these areas are present at all stages of their institution, and occur from the
conceptions of the major theoretical and philosophical currents that support the
preservation and conservation of nature. In Brazil it is common to establish protected areas
to resolve the tensions between natural resource exploitation and sustainability of
ecosystems. However, what happens in general is the escalation of conflicts in areas
constituted. Amapá stands on the national scene as one of the states which have a high
degree of preservation and a significant percentage of protected areas. But the conflict
between managers and users of these areas are constant and intense in many cases, causing
degradation of natural resources of these spaces. The orthodox alternative to solve the
conflict do not appear effective and it is necessary to adopt measures such as negotiations
to alleviate or resolve the tensions related to the sustainability of environmental resources.
To support the negotiation literature provides methodologies, techniques and tools that
facilitate the process of negotiation and decision making to solve the conflicts present in
these areas. The use of techniques and tools, although more laborious and requires a long
time becomes more effective. For when the actors participate actively in the negotiations
and find solutions, commitment and accountability become part of the process
management unit, and this performance depend not only the sustainability of natural
resources, but stay in your own area.
