Meio ambiente e mineronegócio: análise dos impactos socioambientais percebidos a partir de um desastre na cidade de Maceió

Abstract

In mid-2018, several neighborhoods in the city of Maceió were affected by soil subsidence in the region. Since then, unprecedented developments and consequences have been observed in the affected locality. Based on this scenario, the study aims to carry out an analysis of the socio-environmental impacts suffered by the five neighborhoods affected by subsidence from rock salt extraction in the municipality of Maceió. To achieve the research, a collection was carried out with secondary data from documents that allowed the measurement of the socio-environmental impacts caused by the environmental disaster on screen. The results highlight the complexity of the impacts, since they were observed under the aspect of the physical, biotic and anthropic environment. In addition, it is evident that these impacts obtained relevance and importance from the point of view of specialists and when analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The study also concludes that it is pertinent to take measures to mitigate the impacts, being indicated as possible from the integration between public authorities and the mining company.
