(Un) sustainability of socioeconomic resettlements of Mariana and Olericultores - Porto Nacional - TO - Brazil

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the (un) sustainability of socioeconomic resettlements of Mariana and Olericultores in the city of Porto Nacional / TO created due to the construction of Luís Eduardo Magalhães Hydroelectric Plant, located in the central state of Tocantins. The analysis was built in six dimensions of sustainability, Sachs (2000), they are social, economic, ecological, spatial, cultural and political. We researched the documentation relating to the entrepreneurial commitments in relation to resettlement, as well as documentation that evaluated the whole process. The interviews with the resettlers were indispensable to the finding that the definitions of sustainability provided in the official documentation are limited; in addition, many actions mitigated under such plans have not been realized, thus preventing socioeconomic advances to resettlers.
