Resumo: | Social, economic and of environment preservation are three dimensions of sustainable development. That way, mining activity, on one hand, is an opportunity for income generation, especially due to the difficulties of agricultural activity in Rio Grande do Norte’s semiarid region, notably by the water restrictions imposed by local nature. On the other hand, there are several impacts on the environment and on human health, frequently associated to limestone exploration. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the environmental impacts caused by the extraction of limestone in Brejinho, a rural community in Upanema, a small town in Rio Grande do Norte, through the analysis of the perception of the local residents and workers. This is a case study that encompasses the following steps: bibliographic research, semi-structured interviews with local residents and those who work in this activity, and elaboration of the location’s map. Most interviewees realize that the activity causes negative impacts on the local environment. However, they justify that this is the only source of income of the greatest part of the local families and families of neighboring communities. Then, according to the residents and workers, the damages, caused by the mining activity, to nature and human health, are compensated by the income generated for the families, that subsist economically through this activity. Therefore, it is necessary to improve technological processes, in order to preserve people’s health, such as the use of PPE, vegetation and fauna monitoring, among other environment indexes, in order to create socioenvironmental sustainability. |

En este sentido, la actividad de mineración, por un lado, es una oportunidad de generación de renta, sobre todo por las dificultades de las actividades agrícolas en Semiárido Potiguar, notablemente por las limitaciones hídricas impuestas por la naturaliza local. Por otro lado, además de los diversos impactos ambientales, hay las implicaciones en la salud humana, frecuentemente asociadas a la exploración de calcáreo. De esta forma, el objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los impactos ambientales producidos por la extracción de calcáreo en Sítio Brejinho, municipio de Upanema, Rio Grande do Norte, por medio del análisis de la percepción de los moradores y trabajadores. Es un estudio de caso que incluye las siguientes etapas: pesquisa bibliográfica, aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas con moradores locales y trabajadores de la referida actividad y elaboración de mapa de localización. La mayoría de los entrevistados percibe que la tarea produce impactos negativos al medio ambiente local. Pero, justifican que es la única fuente de renta para gran parte de las familias del Sítio Brejinho y de las comunidades vecinas. Así, para los moradores y trabajadores, los daños causados a la naturaleza y a salud humana, por vía de la mineración, son compensados por la renta generada para las familias, que subsisten económicamente por medio de esta actividad laboral. Luego, es necesario perfeccionar los procesos tecnológicos, en el sentido de preservar la salud de las personas, tales como, EPIs, monitoreo de la vegetación y fauna, entre otros indicadores ambientales en búsqueda de la sustentabilidad socioambiental.O desenvolvimento sustentável possui três dimensões: a social, a econômica e a de preservação ambiental.

Assim, para os moradores e trabalhadores, os danos causados à natureza e à saúde humana, via mineração, são compensados pela renda gerada para as famílias, que subsistem economicamente por meio desta atividade laboral. Logo, é necessário aprimorar os processos tecnológicos, no sentido de preservar a saúde das pessoas, tais como os usos de EPIs, o monitoramento da vegetação e fauna, entre outros indicadores ambientais, em busca da sustentabilidade socioambiental.Universidade Católica Dom Bosco2023-10-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://interacoes.ucdb.br/interacoes/article/view/356310.20435/inter.v24i3.3563Interações (Campo Grande); Interações v. 24, n. 3, jul./set. 2023; 893-909Interações (Campo Grande); Interações v. 24, n. 3, jul./set. 2023; 893-909Interações (Campo Grande); Interações v. 24, n. 3, jul./set. 2023; 893-9091984-042X1518-7012reponame:Interações (Campo Grande.
