Resumo: | The aim of the study was to outline the social, economic and environmental profile of communities in the municipality of Acará, Pará, Brazil. The research took place in the communities of Monte Carmelo do Igarapé Retiro, Nazaré do Alto Igarapé Ipitinga, Nazaré do Baixo Igarapé Ipitinga, Roma and Vera Cruz, from August to November 2019. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for 65 families. We observed that 71% of the interviewees are male and farmers. The predominant age range was 31 to 50 years old and 78% of the interviewees have completed elementary school. Family farming is practiced without the use of fertilizer and pesticides, as producers are aware of the environmental impact they can cause. Among the most cultivated and commercialized vegetables is açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.). The monthly income of families comes from the sale of products from agriculture, in addition to the practice of handicrafts and extraction forest, and receives social benefits, such as the family allowance and retirement. All respondents say they had an environmental problem in the communities. They highlighted climate change in the region and the contamination of streams by industrial effluents. The production of palm oil was pointed out by the interviewees, the main cause of this contamination and they claim that all residents had to build artesian wells in their homes, to supply their needs. In conclusion, the socioeconomic profile showed an overview of the communities and the introduction of a palm oil producing company in the region has contributed to negative socio-environmental changes, mainly with the contamination of the streams. As future studies, we suggest training in solid waste and effluent treatment techniques in these communities, with the objective of mitigating the environmental impacts observed in the present study. |

La encuesta se realizó en las comunidades de Monte Carmelo do Igarapé Retiro, Nazaré do Alto Igarapé Ipitinga, Nazaré do Baixo Igarapé Ipitinga, Roma y Vera Cruz, de agosto a noviembre de 2019. Se utilizó un cuestionario semiestructurado para 65 familias. Observamos que el 71% de los entrevistados son hombres y agricultores. El rango de edad predominante fue de 31 a 50 años y el 78% de los entrevistados han completado la escuela primaria. La agricultura familiar se practica sin el uso de fertilizantes y pesticidas, ya que los productores son conscientes del impacto ambiental que pueden causar. Entre las verduras más cultivadas y comercializadas se encuentra el açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.). El ingreso mensual de las familias proviene de la venta de productos de la agricultura, además de la práctica de la artesanía y la extracción, y recibe beneficios sociales, como la Bolsa Familia y la jubilación. Todos los encuestados dicen que tenían un problema ambiental en las comunidades. Destacaron el cambio climático en la región y la contaminación de las corrientes por efluentes industriales. Los entrevistados señalaron la producción de aceite de palma, la principal causa de esta contaminación, y afirman que todos los residentes locales tuvieron que construir pozos artesianos en sus hogares para satisfacer sus necesidades. En conclusión, el perfil socioeconómico mostró una visión general de las comunidades y la introducción de una empresa productora de aceite de palma en la región ha contribuido a cambios socioambientales negativos, principalmente con la contaminación de las corrientes. Como trabajo futuro, sugerimos llevar a cabo capacitación en técnicas para el tratamiento de residuos sólidos y efluentes en estas comunidades, a fin de mitigar los impactos ambientales observados en el presente estudio.O objetivo do estudo foi traçar o perfil social, econômico e ambiental de comunidades no município do Acará, Pará, Brasil. A pesquisa ocorreu nas comunidades Monte Carmelo do Igarapé Retiro, Nazaré do Alto Igarapé Ipitinga, Nazaré do Baixo Igarapé Ipitinga, Roma e Vera Cruz, durante os meses de agosto a novembro de 2019. Foi utilizado um questionário semiestruturado para 65 famílias. Observamos que 71% dos entrevistados são do sexo/gênero masculino e agricultores. A faixa de idade predominante foi de 31 a 50 anos e 78% dos entrevistados possuem ensino fundamental completo. A agricultura familiar é praticada sem utilização de adubo e agrotóxicos, pois os produtores sabem do impacto ambiental que podem causar. Entre os vegetais mais cultivados e comercializados está o açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.). O rendimento mensal das famílias é proveniente da venda de produtos proveniente da agricultura, além da prática do artesanato e do extrativismo, e recebem benefícios sociais, como o bolsa família e a aposentadoria. Todos os entrevistados afirmam que teve algum problema ambiental nas comunidades. Eles destacaram as mudanças climáticas na região e a contaminação dos igarapés, por efluentes industriais. A produção do óleo dendê foi apontada pelos entrevistados, a principal causa dessa contaminação e alegam que todos os moradores locais tiveram que construir poços artesianos em suas casas, para suprir suas necessidades. Em conclusão, o perfil socioeconômico mostrou um panorama das comunidades e com a introdução de empresa produtora de óleo de dendê na região tem contribuído para mudanças negativas socioambientais, principalmente com a contaminação dos igarapés. Como trabalhos futuros, sugerimos a realização de capacitações em técnicas de tratamento de resíduos sólidos e de efluentes nessas comunidades, com o objetivo de mitigar os impactos ambientais observados no presente estudo.Research, Society and Development2020-05-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/429410.33448/rsd-v9i7.4294Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 7; e423974294Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 7; e423974294Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 7; e4239742942525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4294/11276Copyright (c) 2020 Fabricio Nilo Lima da Silva, José Augusto dos Santos Batista, Mayane de Souza Barbosa, Luã Caldas de Oliveirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBatista, José Augusto dos SantosBarbosa, Mayane de SouzaSilva, Fabricio Nilo Lima daOliveira, Luã Caldas deSousa, Ronaldo Lopes de2020-08-20T18:05:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4294Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:28:11.815791Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
