A geograficidade de estudantes da zona rural de Iranduba, AM: a percepção ambiental no percurso casa/escola

Abstract

The relation man-nature is configured in the geographical space, and is constituted from its intersubjectivity that develops, through the intimate experiences, with the place. It is in this place of experience that man perceives and develops his social, cultural, economic relations and creates with him a bond of attachment so strong that it is impossible to detach himself, the result of this relationship is its geography. In order to know how this relationship between man and the earth occurs, this research is presented with the objective of understanding the geography built by the students of the rural area in the municipality of Iranduba, from the experience with the place they live along the route from home to school. We seek in the phenomenological method the support and help necessary to understand man's relation to perception, space, world and place. Since, "the object of knowledge for phenomenology is not the subject nor the world, but the world as it is lived by the subject." The data were from the drawings of the mind maps. Participated 80 - Eighty - students of both sexes, between the ages of fourteen and seventeen. Students enrolled and attending the morning and afternoon shift, attending the first, second and third year of high school at Isaías Vasconcelos State School. Residents of the rural area of the municipality - Terra firme (headquarters and road) and the islands of Muratu, Jacurutu and Paciência, Costa del Iranduba, in the floodplain of the Solimões River. The maps showed us that the focus of environmental perception, present in the students, shows that they know more than the way that they take them to school, they know and feel part of that relationship that intertwines with each other, their colleagues at school and their place.
