Araripe Basin Action Regional Plan


STRATEGIC GUILINES
The development potential of the Araripe Basin features the competitive advantages of a set of factors that are, inter alia, its geographical-logistical location at the heart of the Brazilian Northeast; an exceptional biodiversity reservoir expressed in its protected natural reserves; differentiated climate conditions; sedimentary soils that are favorable to differentiated farming practices; the density of local productive arrangements for the consolidation of a productive chain related to tourism; a consolidated context of cities that influence situations in four Brazilian states, in addition to Ceará; a network of installed regional facilities; the specialization of the supply of services, notably in the health and education sectors —especially in the case of higher education—that bring together teaching and research institutions focused on regional vocations; the culture and other non-material assets; the values of religiosity and tradition.

Thus, ARARIPE ARP aims to suggest strategic guidelines capable of consolidating a routine of favorable economic growth and social development in the region, while ensuring environmental sustainability and balance of the protected natural milieu and landscape.


The regional development proposal described herein is based on a selection of five main strategies, resulting from the comprehension of the Araripe Basin’s geographical scenario, the consolidated urban and regional context following nearly three centuries of occupation of the territory, the polarization of commerce, services and their specialization, the existing cultural reserve and the non-material assets and of the current competitive climate:

- Protection of the Natural Environment and Landscape of the Araripe- Invigorating of the Economic Activity
- Organization and Structuring Indicators for the Regional Context- Reinforcement of the Regional Knowledge and Cultural Production System
- Social participation and reinforcement of citizenship
