(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-08-22) COSTA FILHO, Felipe Antonio Melo da; PEREIRA, José Almir Rodrigues; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9918600634569244
The procedures of the environmental licensing process of four major basic sanitation projects carried out in the last 15 years and directly or indirectly affected or affected with a quality of life of over 100,000 inhabitants of the Belém Metropolitan Region were taxed. The methodology was divided into three stages, starting with a selection of basic sanitation ventures. In the second stage, the evaluation criteria were identified and systematized observing the current legislation and the technical-scientific literature. In the last stage, they were evaluated and classified as the effectiveness of the licensing processes in the competent environmental agency. The projects selected and analyzed were the projects of the Tucunduba Drainage Channel, Bologna Water Treatment Plant, Marituba Waste Processing and Processing Plant and UNA Sewage Treatment Plant. The environmental impact assessments applied in the four projects were consistent and adequate, regarding the effectiveness rating, the Bologna Water Treatment Plant process was rated as good, Marituba Waste Processing and Processing Plant and the Tucunduba Drainage Channel as regular and the UNA Sewage Treatment Plant had the worst result about the effectiveness of the environmental licensing process. In a survey, it was observed that compliance with legal standards occurs, despite the difficulties applied by the current project evaluation system, such as the lack of more technicians in the environmental agencies, lack of standardization of projects for small projects and small supervision. in the implementation and operation stages of the activities. There was also a long period of environmental analysis of the projects. Finally, it was selected that there is a need to improve or access the technical information and documents of the licensing processes of 4 projects, or that hinders the monitoring and participation of the directly affected population in the study area.

Comunidade quilombola do Subaé e o licenciamento ambiental de linha de transmissão de energia na Bahia: violação ao direito da consulta prévia, livre e informada
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-08-30) ARAUJO, Luciéte Duarte; TRECCANI, Girolamo Domenico; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4319696853704535; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4639-9881
The research proposes to identify the mechanisms used by federal agencies, municipal and by Sterlite Power Grid Ventures Limited that favored the violation of the right to prior, free, informed and good consultationfaith provided for in ILO Convention 169 in the environmental licensing of LT 500 kV Port of Sergipe (SE) - Olindina (BA) - Sapeaçu (BA) C1 Associated Substations, from the study of Quilombo Subaé. The provisions of art. 68, from the ADCT of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988, which ensures the right to property of quilombola communities. The environmental licensing process of this project is being processed at the Ibama office in Bahia, under number 02001.022704/2018-96 and already includes the release of prior licenses and installation of LT 500 kV. To do so, it is intended to understand the logic (s) that guides (m) decisions, in terms of legal references. It is understood that the parameter adopted by the Brazilian State in environmental licensing of project of this nature is being life, good living and human rights defenses in CRFB/88 and in International Treaties to which Brazil is a relative signatory in the name of development. As for the methodology, it is a case study, the research will follow, as a rule, the hypothetical-deductive approach method and, as for the technical procedures adopted, it is configured as bibliographic and documentary research. We adopted a theoretical matrix with an anti-racist bias to show that the Brazilian state, as well as other modern states originated from a historical and political process of the capitalist-projectcolonial countries of European countries based on the inferiorization of the black subject in such a way that, even today, neoliberal they suffer the violence of structural racism that persists in societies and; of critical theory of law to remind that this system of hierarchical social regulation allows some legal institutions to reproduce arbitrary actions of power that culminate in the impossibility of social and racial justice. Thus, the structures of the state are essentially exclusion, oppression and discrimination. Considering these justifications, we understand the negligence coming from some organs of the country with the Quilombo Subaé in the Municipality of Antônio Cardoso/BA, as a typical case of environmental racism.

Governo, interesse público e práticas burocráticas: tessituras políticas no processo decisório do licenciamento ambiental do Projeto Volta Grande no Xingu - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-04-26) SANTOS, Selma Solange Monteiro; MATHIS, Armin; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8365078023155571; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7831-9391
The environmental licensing is the political instrument founded under the juridic positivity that applies the environmental control function of economic activities. This process, which has been brought up by the knowledge of the techno sciences stablishes a rule with principles that support the idea that all the damage, impact and negative effects can be rationalized by tools and technical methods (evaluation of environmental impacts, impact mitigation, compensation, constraints and the end of conflicts through negotiation). These methods and tools would produce technical resolutions to the territorial conflicts. This thesis questions the neutral, technical and operational natures of the rational ways of licensing intervention. Therefore, an analysis has been made about the decision-making process of a big project of gold mining and its macro and micro political relations. The bureaucracy behind the project will be investigated considering two main theoretical aspects: the concept of governmentality supported by studies originated in Foucault (2008a, 2008b) and the anthropology of bureaucracy according to the explanatory table “Studying up” (NADER, 1972). The historic processes of governmentalization of the State grounded on the domain of power and knowledge of the political economy allow us to analyze that the public interest mobilizes the procedure aligned with the economic order, the practice of the State financial activities and the business strategies. This way, the environmental control interferes in the governmental planning and its tactics, where the environmental licensing is the main instrument to attract big mining projects. The licensing is planned within the public policies for regional development. The political interests get into the internal practices of the licensing organizations and they can get attached to the subjective interests of the employees depending on the contingency. The result of the macro and micro political relations will produce a composite reality where the environmental licensing is a complex and uncertain political process that is driven by the environmental institution. It represents the different interests of the government which orientations are materialized by arguments that derived from the technical knowledge of the discretionary practices. These practices are strategically selected in order to bring harmony between the sides in conflict as well as changing criteria, documents and appointments for the following stages of the whole process.

O lobby da confederação nacional da indústria na câmara dos deputados: novas regras para o licenciamento ambiental
(Câmara dos deputados, 2020-12) CRUZ, Mariana Trindade; CABRAL, Eugênia Rosa
The Bill entitled "General Law on Environmental Licensing" (PL 3729/2004) authored by Deputy Luciano Zica (PT) is being processed in the brazilian House of Representatives and raises controversies among groups in favor of and against the flexibilization of environmental rules. For considering the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) a group responsible for pressure activities, our objective was to identify the strategies used by CNI to influence the formulation of PL. We use documentary analysis as methodology, through data collection on the online website of the House of Representatives, as well as documents produced by CNI. The results point to the success of the business lobby, because the group was able to intervene in decision-making arenas, regiment allied parliamentarians to defend their interests and incorporate their preferences in the entire content of the PL, the substitute approved by the Finance and Taxation Committee (CFT).

Relações interfederativas para gestão dos recursos naturais e desenvolvimento territorial
(Universidade da Amazônia, 2018-12) FERNANDES, Mylene Oliveira Cunha; BASTOS, Rodolpho Zahluth
The present article analyzes the horizontality versus the verticality of interfederative relations in Brazil in the light of the Federal Constitution of the National Environmental Policy (PNMA), ascertaining if the theory and practice of these relations have territorial development as one of the main guiding objectives. To do this, we initially sought to search and analyze the main environmental legislation that govern cooperation between federal entities and the normative content of the respective articles that highlight this theme. After examining the legal structure, a methodological procedure was adopted for a bibliographic survey aimed at the problematic, and fi nally, a brief observation and interpretation was made of the relation of some States with their municipalities in what concerns the regulation and the use of the licensing as an instrument for spatial planning and development. The results show that, although environmental standards point to horizontally harmonious relations between Union, States, Federal District and Municipalities, the decision - making and practical verticality in the accomplishment of shared environmental management has prevailed. Thus, territorial development is still far from being a real scope in the scenario of the management of natural resources promoted by federative entities. However, in spite of the theoretical and practical incompatibilities, it is concluded that there has been considerable progress, particularly in the legal sphere, in terms of interfederative cooperation rules aimed at territorial development. However, it is imperative that there is a progressive alignment of this normative structure in order to unlock shared environmental management, as well as a physical and operational structure capable of making these laws possible.

“Tem que mover uma ação”: mobilização, participação e resistência indígena no processo de licenciamento ambiental da usina hidrelétrica Belo Monte
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-02-22) SOUZA, Estella Libardi de; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2113-043X
In this thesis, I analyze the mobilization, participation and resistance of the indigenous peoples of the Middle Xingu in the course of the implantation process of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant (HPP), located on the Xingu River, in the municipalities of Altamira, Vitória do Xingu and Brasil Novo, in the state of Pará. I discuss the political action and the resistance of the indigenous peoples to the actions for the implantation of the plant, with the purpose of understanding: how do indigenous peoples act and react in the face of damages and losses to their territories and ways of life, caused by the implantation of Belo Monte HPP? How do they act to deal with violations and violence? What rights are enunciated and claimed in your political struggle? For the development of the thesis, I used qualitative research methods, such as participant observation and interviews, through fieldwork in Altamira/PA, Brasília/DF and in indigenous lands, between July 2015 and February 2017. In the first chapter, I address the historical trajectories of the indigenous peoples of the Middle Xingu, in an attempt to understand the specificities of the different social and historical situations experienced by them. In the second chapter, I examine the political and legal context in which the hydroelectric project on the Xingu River, which gave rise to the Belo Monte HPP, was created, and explore the project's chronology and history. In the third chapter, I discuss the implementation of the Belo Monte HPP, focusing on the environmental licensing of the project and the (im) possibility of participation of indigenous peoples, having as main sources the documents of the process of the indigenous component of environmental licensing, which is being processed at Funai, and that build a state narrative about the implantation of the hydroelectric plant. Finally, in the last chapter, using the narratives of Juruna/Yudjá and Arara people from Volta Grande do Xingu as main sources, I analyze the mobilization and strategies of struggle and resistance of indigenous peoples in the course of the environmental licensing process of the project, whether to do recognize the losses suffered, to “negotiate” with the Brazilian State and Norte Energia the mitigation and compensation measures for impacts, to pressure for the implementation of other measures established as conditions for environmental licenses or to demand actions that guarantee the improvement of their conditions of life, even if not provided for in environmental licenses.
