Impactos socioambientais de grandes projetos e organizações comunitárias na Amazônia: o caso do porto da Cargill na Ilha do Capim, Abaetetuba-PA

Abstract

This study discusses the increase in socio-environmental conflicts and social injustices that affect the way of life of riverside populations, artisanal fishermen, rural farmers and others, considered vulnerable minorities due to the implementation of large projects in the Amazon, more precisely the possible implementation of the port terminal of private use TUP of Abaetetuba of the North American company Cargill in Urubuéua- Abaetetuba. This is an analysis of the indirect impacts, since the port has not yet been implemented. The general objective is to understand how the latent socio-environmental impacts of implementing the Cargill port relate to the social organizations of the Ilha do Capim community. Documentary, bibliographic research, semi-structured interviews and direct observation were carried out. The results show that the socio-environmental impacts caused by the process of installing the Port of Cargill brings harm to residents, harming traditional activities, such as fishing, directly interfering in the daily life of the community, in turn generating a dialectical process with the creation of new processes and organizational spaces and political resistance.
