Brazil. The methodology adopted in this work consisted both in the construction of a causal map, based on interviews with stakeholders
of Santa Catarina native forests, and in the analysis of the map using techniques of the Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA)
approach. The analyses carried out indicated that the economic valuation of forest resources as well as the monitoring of forest cover are key
issues for the management of Santa Catarina’s native forests. In addition, the information generated by the causal map analysis can assist not
only the process of designing innovative and all-inclusive policies for the management of native forests, but also the modeling process based
on Systems Dynamics in order to evaluate the impacts of policies on the dynamics that govern the conservation and use of the resources of
native forests. The adopted SODA approach also proved to be effective in structuring the complex problem situation addressed in this study.
