Social Public Policies: a look at the resettled Belo Monte
Belo Monte. Territory. Public policies. Resettlement. Public policy. Riverside populations.
The main objective of this study is to identify how the resettlement process of families impacted by the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant took place, based on the scenario of Ilha do Triunfo, an old island located near Altamira, in the state of Pará, which was completely flooded with the implementation of the plant. Starting from this objective, the research is divided into three specific objectives: To understand the land use planning process carried out at the Belo Monte Plant; to understand the public policies implemented, highlighting the energy and social policies; and to consider the process of implementing the social public policies that involve the resettled people of Belo Monte. In order to achieve these objectives, this observation is theoretically structured on the geographic conceptual theme of territory, territorial planning and public policies, reflecting also on the conception of identity values that are constituted in space from the collectivity; as well as on the public policies that cover Belo Monte, highlighting energy and social policies. Also, it presents the panoramas identified in the on-site research, debating and discussing with each one of those involved in the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam, going through companies, governments, social movements, organizations and the riverside dwellers themselves. In view of this, this research is anchored in the method of Dialectical Materialism, understanding the essence of phenomena, their historicity and the social conflicts based on the unity of the opposites. The research technique used was the Discourse Analysis (AD), taking into account the ideas of Pêcheux, therefore, is a qualitative research, which is presented through bibliographic research, documentary and field, with the conduct of field research in the municipality of Altamira, effective through the application of interviews and questionnaires to stakeholders, generating a reflection from the public policies implemented and directed mainly to riparian populations, aiming to minimize the effects to these resettled people of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant.
