Resumo: The purpose of this article was to analyze the social impacts of a large reservoir in the Brazilian semi-arid region, according to the population displaced from urban as rural areas. Open, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 371 families, representing almost 10,400 families who lived in the new municipality of Jaguaribara. The results showed that the resettled people were not satisfied with their new living conditions, despite their contentment with their new homes, water supply and food supply; despite the improvement of the infrastructure, the resettlers underestimated the sanitation, health and education systems, as well as the work and income policy; the government has invested considerably in the infrastructure, but not in its operation and maintenance, nor in qualified personnel; this indicated that the focus of the investments was mainly on transferring capital to the construction industry, rather than providing good services to resettlers. The construction of the Castanho weir did not provide a better standard of living for the resettled, which suggested that water scarcity may be one of the causes, but it certainly was not the main cause of the obstacles to development in the Brazilian semiarid region.

Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, abertas a 371 famílias, representando quase 10.400 famílias que moravam no novo município de Jaguaribara. Os resultados mostraram que os reassentados não estavam satisfeitos com suas novas condições de vida, apesar do seu contentamento com as suas novas casas, com o abastecimento de água e com o fornecimento de alimentos. Apesar da melhoria da infra-estrutura, os reassentados avaliaram mal os Sistemas de saneamento, de saúde e de educação, bem como a política de trabalho e renda. O governo investiu consideravelmente na infraestrutura, mas não em sua operação e manutenção, nem em pessoal qualificado, isso indicou que o foco dos investimentos foi principalmente a transferência de capital para a indústria da construção e não a prestação de bons serviços para os reassentados. A construção do açude Castanhão não proporcionou um padrão de vida melhor para os reassentados, o que sugeriu que a escassez de água pode ser uma das razões, mas certamente não foi a principal causa dos obstáculos ao desenvolvimento na região semiárida brasileira.EdUECE - Editora da Universidade Estadual do Ceará2021-10-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://revistas.uece.br/index.php/revpemo/article/view/716910.47149/pemo.v3i3.7169Educational Practices, Memories and Oralities; Vol. 3 No. 3 (2021): Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidades; e337169Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidades; Vol. 3 Núm. 3 (2021): Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidades; e337169Práticas Educativas, Memórias e Oralidades - Rev.
