Abstract
The territories exploited by major mining projects of the Amazonian of Para, Northern region of Brazil, have caused socioeconomic impacts of different complexities and set to debate the role of mining as a tool for territorial planning in the host cities that house Major Mining Projects, for failing to create economic and social dynamics, making the multiplier effect of the Major Mining Projects an indicator of local development of the mineral economy in the municipalities of Para. The main objective of this paper is to present the main impacts caused by mining activities in Para municipalities. A documentary and bibliographical analysis was necessary for the textual elaboration, in addition to field research in the study area. We can observe that mining is an important productive activity, but has caused significant changes in Para territory, as well as in economy and in the environment, and the way of life of local populations.
Highlights
The process of wealth and poverty of the municipalities in the state of Pará was boosted by the pressure exerted by the Brazilian government for industrial development and, by the lack of integration policies that contemplated the societies of these territories producing unequal socioeconomic effects on the state of Pará, Northern Region of Brazil
The lack of integrated planning nowadays are the nodes of territories in the state of Pará; the population is increasingly concentrated in cities growing every single day, with people from all corners of the region and the rest of Brazil in search of employment and better living conditions in the projects in regions that concentrate spatial objects with dynamics linked to an international scale
The questions: are the socioeconomic relations of spatial planning in territory of Pará in the towns, home to large mining projects capable to create economic and social dynamics to make the multiplier effect of Major Projects an indicator of local development from the mineral economy? Is the land management considering the different producing economic dynamics of new territorialities in promoting socioeconomic development in mining áreas of Pará through public policies, intended resources provided by CFEM, IPI, and FPM, capable to benefit the areas of municipal capitals avoiding social conflicts in mining regions?
Summary
The process of wealth and poverty of the municipalities in the state of Pará was boosted by the pressure exerted by the Brazilian government for industrial development and, by the lack of integration policies that contemplated the societies of these territories producing unequal socioeconomic effects on the state of Pará, Northern Region of Brazil. The wealth arising from mining, for example, what would be the cost effective solution for the National State, arose in different regions and municipalities in the territory of Pará with urban facilities “capable” to meet the needs of societies that lived there This has raised its surroundings poverty as a result of this adversarial process and combined the economic development of these regions within the territory, How to cite this paper: da Silva, J.M.P., da Silva, C.N., Chagas C.A.N. and Medeiros, G.R.N. The questions: are the socioeconomic relations of spatial planning in territory of Pará in the towns, home to large mining projects capable to create economic and social dynamics to make the multiplier effect of Major Projects an indicator of local development from the mineral economy? This essay aims to analyze land use and the impacts of mining for towns in Pará in the period 2010 to 2014, which have in their territories, mineral ventures with the ability to connect the local to the international economy, reorganizing the geographical space of Pará and causing the territory differentiated complexities with distinct characteristics related to mining, and spatial forms with different dynamics in a new geography of mining in the Brazilian Amazon, especially of Pará, starting with the installation of major mining projects
