Análise do mercado de imóveis e cobertura vegetal em Maceió, após acidente da Braskem (2019 a 2023)

Abstract

This study analyzes the interactions between real estate devaluation and environmental degradation in urban areas affected by the Braskem accident in Maceió, which occurred between 2019 and 2023. The research aimed to understand how these factors mutually influence the socioeconomic and ecological vulnerability of the affected communities. To achieve this, a comprehensive literature review was conducted, providing a solid theoretical foundation for understanding the dynamics involved. The results show that environmental degradation, resulting from the industrial disaster, significantly contributed to the devaluation of real estate in the impacted areas. The perception of risk associated with these locations led to a decrease in demand for properties, resulting in a sharp decline in real estate values. Simultaneously, the devaluation of properties perpetuated a cycle of social exclusion, where residents faced difficulties in accessing basic services and employment opportunities, intensifying the vulnerability of the communities. The research concludes that the implementation of effective public policies is essential to promote environmental recovery and real estate revaluation in the affected areas. The adoption of integrated strategies that address both social and environmental aspects is recommended, contributing to the creation of a more sustainable and resilient urban environment. Furthermore, the importance of future research that deepens the understanding of the relationships between environmental disasters, real estate devaluation, and the response of affected communities is highlighted.
