Neiman, Zysman. The Environmental Education through Contact Directed with the Nature. Sao Paulo, 2007. 138p. Thesis (Instituto de Psicologia Universidade de Sao Paulo). Neiman, Zysman. The Environmental Education through Contact Directed with the Nature. Sao Paulo, 2007. 199p. Thesis (Instituto de Psicologia Universidade de Sao Paulo). This thesis presents the results of a study on the rising of pro-environmental attitudes, in an interrelation between Environmental Education and Ecotourism. In this paper, it’s shown that the contact with nature is effective in generating environmentalist attitudes and motivations. The experience acquired in 16 years and 107 ecotourist trips to Parque Estadual Turistico do Alto Ribeira PETAR (Alto Ribeira Turistic State Park) with groups of participants in directed activities was the starting point for the current research. In initial studies, interviews were conducted with visitors of 10 natural areas in Brazil, focusing on the assessment of their main reasons to visit those places, and surveys were carried out with several Environmental Education professionals aiming at their personal reasons and more efficient strategies for changes in the attitude towards the environment. The main reason pointed out by the visitors was of emotional nature (contemplation or contact with nature, relaxation or an escape from routine). Although the contact with nature is outstanding in Environmental Education professionals lives, they gave a relatively smaller importance to it. In an experimental study, in two applications, two groups were compared: one which had a directed contact with nature (in trips to PETAR) and a control group, verifying possible changes of knowledge, feelings, values, attitudes and paradigms. The directed visit generated many meaningful changes in what regards knowledge, value and attitude towards a pro-environmental behavior change. The directed trips to the nature, however, were not enough to create different perceptions of Sustainable Development and Sustainable Societies paradigms. The conclusion reached is that the conception of Ecotourism as “destination tourism” (to nature) must be substituted by a "way of making tourism", in which the role of the leading professional is not only "guiding", but "making the traveler understand". When boosting special emotions out of the contact with nature, Ecotourism can generate meaningful motivational changes for the construction of proenvironmental attitudes and values.
