Resumo: | Hydropower plants (HPPs) play an important role in the Brazilian energy matrix, largely in the Amazon region where the largest amount of hydropower generation potential is found. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze socioeconomic impacts caused in the stages of building and operating a large HPP in the Legal Amazon region. For such a purpose, the socioeconomic impacts detected in environmental studies of five projects (Belo Monte, Jirau, Peixe Angical, São Manoel and São Salvador) were analyzed. Socioeconomic impacts were sorted out according to the stage of their life cycle (construction and operation); these impacts were compared using a matrix and a descriptive analysis of data. Many similarities and correlations between the socioeconomic impacts were found in five studies. During the analysis, it was found that numerous impacts were improperly mitigated in these studies. Furthermore, social costs, such as population relocation, are typically underestimated, and gains brought by operating the HPP are overestimated. It is expected that an assessment of socioeconomic impacts caused by HPP in the Legal Amazon is going to allow broadening discussions about these constructions in areas of socioenvironmental sensitivity. Moreover, it is found that socioeconomic impacts in assessed studies are associated with multiple conflicts between the population affected by the project, government, and enterprise. |

Sobretudo, na região da Amazônia, onde se localiza a maior parcela do potencial hidrelétrico inventariado. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os impactos socioeconômicos ocasionados nas etapas de construção e operação de UHE de grande porte na região da Amazônia Legal. Para isso, foram analisados os impactos socioeconômicos identificados em Salvador). Os impactos socioeconômicos foram segregados de acordo com a etapa do ciclo de vida do empreendimento (construção e operação); comparou-se os impactos em uma matriz e os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva. Verificou-se que existem muitas similaridades e correlação entre os impactos socioeconômicos levantados nos 5 estudos selecionados. Durante a análise, verificou-se que muitos dos impactos levantados nos estudos não foram devidamente mitigados. De maneira geral os custos sociais, como a realocação da população são subestimados, e os ganhos pela operação da UHE são superestimados. Espera-se que o levantamento realizado dos impactos socioeconômicos ocasionados por UHE na Amazônia Legal possibilite ampliar a discussão sobre estas obras em áreas de sensibilidade socioambiental. Por fim, conclui-se que os impactos socioeconômicos presentes nos estudos avaliados estão associados a múltiplos conflitos entre a população atingida pelo empreendimento, o poder público e o empreendedor.Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (ABES)2023-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/article/view/172010.5327/Z2176-94781720Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (RBCIAMB); v. 58 n. 3 (2023): RBCIAMB - ISSN 2176-9478 - Setembro; 437-446Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (RBCIAMB); Vol. 58 No. 3 (2023): RBCIAMB - ISSN 2176-9478 - September; 437-4462176-94781808-4524reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (ABES)instacron:ABESenghttps://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/article/view/1720/923https://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/article/view/1720/965Copyright (c) 2023 Brazilian Journal of Environmental Sciences (RBCIAMB)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMirosevic, EllenRomão, Érica LeonorKasemodel, Mariana Consiglio2024-04-10T21:05:36Zoai:ojs.www.rbciamb.com.br:article/1720Revistahttp://www.rbciamb.com.br/index.php/Publicacoes_RBCIAMBhttps://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/oairbciamb@abes-dn.org.br||2176-94781804-4524opendoar:2024-04-10T21:05:36Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (ABES)false |
