          Abstract

          O estudo foi conduzido na comunidade de Limpo Grande, localizada a 23 km do município de Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso. Para verificar a possibilidade de os informantes organizarem o conhecimento ecológico tradicional da vegetação de acordo com uso o trabalho, buscou-se os seguintes objetivos: i) conhecer as espécies de cada domínio cultural indicado pelos informantes; ii) verificar a existência de consenso cultural para cada domínio cultural; iii) analisar a similaridade das espécies dos domínios culturais. Utilizou-se entrevista estruturada para obtenção dos dados da lista livre e dados socioeconômicos. A lista livre foi analisada por meio do índice de Smith, consenso cultural e escalonamento multidimensional. Os informantes definiram três domínios culturais com base no uso da vegetação: plantas (utilizadas para o cultivo), mato (vegetação nativa que apresenta diversos usos) e plantas medicinais (utilizadas para tratamento de enfermidades). O domínio cultural de plantas foi representado por 107 espécies; mato, por 96; e plantas medicinais, por 99 espécies. Para os três domínios, pode-se verificar a existência de consenso cultural. Verificou-se baixa similaridade entre as espécies dos domínios. Os critérios utilizados pelas comunidades tradicionais para uso e manejo da vegetação podem contribuir para elaboração de políticas públicas destinadas à conservação da biodiversidade ecológica e cultural.

          This study was conducted in the community of Limpo Grande, located 23 km from the city of Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso, Brazil. In order to investigate the way informants organize traditional ecological knowledge of vegetation according to its use, our research had the following objectives: i) to identify the species of each cultural domain indicated by the informants; ii) check for cultural consensus within each cultural domain; iii) to analyze the similarity of the species of the cultural domains. We used structured interviews to obtain socioeconomic data and data from the free list. The free list was analyzed by means of the Smith index, cultural consensus and multidimensional scaling. Informants defined three cultural domains based on the use of vegetation, whether the plants are those used for cultivation, are medicinal plants used to treat diseases, or are considered native vegetation with several different uses. The domain of cultural plants is represented by 107 species, weeds by 96 species and medicinal plants by 99 species. For the three domains, the existence of cultural consensus can be verified. There was little similarity between species from different domains. The criteria used by traditional communities for vegetation management and use may contribute to the development of public policies for the conservation of ecological and cultural biodiversity.
