RESUMO

ln the last decades, the economic debate concerning to questions such as intensive utilization of natural (faunistic, floristic, hydric, mineral etc.) resources, and the serious socio-economic consequences generated by the pollution of the enviromment has put the relation Man-Nature in the centre of the economics attention. In order to propose the economically viable solutions to the environmental problems as these, it is necessary to understand how the economy as field of knowledge develops this debate through its interlocutors (economical agents). Through the economic logic the economical values imputed to the natural resources are determined by its direct use value. In relation to the mineral goods like sand, this direct use value is related to its importance like mineral agregated at the civil architecture. With the improvement of the economic debate about the environment, other values, add to that estimated by direct use of the sand, had passed to have notability in the economic analysis, mainly, through the techniques of environmental valoration that becomes possible the measuring of the indirect use value, that is, of the economic values imputed to the environmental services performed by the mineral good, the sand. This work has as goal to measure the indirect use value of the exploited sand by the Mineradora Viterbo Machado Luz (MVML) settled in a protection area of fountainheads ITom the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. The choice of this mining was in function of its notability as model of environmentally responsible mining. The determination of the indirect use value counted with the colaboration of the clients ITom the mining who compose an universe susceptible to be measured and interviewed. It is possible to conclude that the indirect use value of the sand has a greater sense when it is used as parameters to the comand and control politics, based in the aplication of fines and compensations by environmental damages or even in the elaboration ofthe politics of economical incentives.
