SUMMARY:

Over the years, the occurrence of forest fires has been gradual and is the result of a set of factors, which may have a natural or anthropic origin. This type of event has a high potential for destruction and can generate complex consequences and in some cases human losses. Therefore, this work has as general objective, to analyze the perception of the residents of Mesquita regarding the risk of Forest Fire in the Gericinó-Mendanha Massif. And for specific objectives, contribute and deepen the study of risk perception to Forest Fire within geographic science; reflect on the historical, physical-natural aspects and the occurrences of forest fires in the Gericinó-Mendanha Massif in Mesquita; And to understand how the residents who live around the Gericinó-Mendanha Massif in Mesquita, live with exposure to the risk of forest fire. To achieve these objectives, the following methodology was used: Conducting bibliographic research; Research on the physical and environmental characteristics of the area and survey of public data for occurrences of forest fires in Mesquita; Dialogue with representatives of the Municipal Government; Application of online questionnaire and face-to-face interviews; And critical analysis of the interviews carried out using the Discursive Textual Analysis method (ATD). From the application of the aforementioned methods, it was analyzed that everyone involved in the survey (participants in the face-to-face interview, participants in the virtual questionnaire, Civil Defense, Environmental Guard and PNMNI) recognize the border area of the Massif as a risk area for Forest Fire. We identified that the Civil Defense and the Environmental Guard have a minimum structure for fighting fires, requiring the assistance of PNMNI in medium and large-scale events. Residents indicate that the work of the Civil Defense and the Environmental Guard is not continuous and that there is a lack of activities aimed at preserving the Massif. Finally, we can conclude that these residents suffer annually from the occurrences of the fires, making coexistence versus risk something natural in the local view. The consequences of living with risk involve loss of plantation, death of animals, development of respiratory allergies, soot production and in some cases loss of residence. We highlight the need to implement the Municipal Natural Park of Mesquita, aiming at the preservation of the natural ecosystems present on the slope of the Massif, as well as the need for investment in the Environmental Guard, providing the hiring of agents to fight fires and the annual development of activities related to Environmental education and training of residents.
