Dinâmicas socioambientais no Rio Apeú em Castanhal, Pará-Brasil

Abstract

The forms of human-nature interaction reflect beneficial or harmful effects on the complexity of the systems of natural and urban environments, expressing local and global effects. The environmental problem is the result of the crisis of civilization and, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to first recognize this vision, referring to the construction of a new development paradigm that, in turn, intervenes positively in social subjects and in the dynamics of the economy. Understanding, in this way, that the complex environmental issues must be articulated to all sectors, given that it is not possible to deal with nature in isolation, with the performance of interdisciplinarity, it may be possible to generate sufficient knowledge to build a rationality productive and sustainable. In this sense, the present research had as its central objective "Analyze the socioenvironmental dynamics in the Apeú River, in Castanhal - Pará". The research was developed on the stretch of the Apeú River, in the Amazon region, which is located in the Apeú village, located in the municipality of Castanhal, Pará - Brazil. It has a quantitative and qualitative methodological approach, with two approaches: social aspects and associated environmental aspects and referring to the dynamics that occurred in the river. For the collection of empirical data on social aspects, semistructured interviews were used and, on environmental aspects, water quality analysis was used. Thus, as a result, it was possible to perceive that the condition in which the analyzed region is found, through analysis of the presence of bacteria that indicate quality, physical-chemical conditions, statements by residents and photographic records, practical inadequate, which result in contamination indicators and, as the river is a dynamic environment, this results in results that indicate that the situation of this river is of socio-environmental concern. Even so, it has the potential to attract residents and tourists to practices and as a leisure space, for social interactions and economic growth in the Amazon region, demonstrating the responsibility and the need for the Government to intervene with Public Policies aimed at maintaining the quality of this river and playful sociability practices for the quality of life of the local population.
