Abstract

Abstract: This article aims to present the results of the Participatory Diagnosis and Prognosis of the Artiuba Lagoon Project, located in Nísia Floresta, Rio Grande do Norte, using the methodology established in Decree 5300/2004 for the planning of the lake shore. To this end, diagnostic and prognostic workshops were conducted, mapping and sectorizing the areas of the shoreline that can be managed, in addition to preparing summary tables. The results include a preliminary diagnosis and the creation of future scenarios for the lagoon shoreline, addressing its predominant characteristics, potentialities, problems, conflicts, and possible agents for the implementation of the Orla Project actions. The application of this methodology at Lagoa de Artiuba, RN, facilitated participatory debate and integrated planning in decision-making, considering the weaknesses and potential of the area. It was also possible at this initial stage to identify priority sectors for planning, emphasizing the importance of preserving natural resources and the orderly and sustainable use of the shoreline.
