ROCHA, Gilberto de Miranda2025-03-132014https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/566This academic paper aims to contribute to the researches and studies related to the area of production of electricity in Brazil as well it works as a reflective analysis about the viability, the technical issues, plans, actions and a variation of impacts caused by those enterprises. The relevance of this subject is based in the complexity through the relation between the progress in the country and impacts suffered by these locations such as a city, a state or a community. Trying to understand better in how it works, the village Mutum Paraná, flooded by The Power Plant UHE Jirau in Rondonia, was chosen. Many different aspects that deal with these specific types of projects will be explored in this paper. The research was divided in some periods: At the beginning, the study about the viability and the elaboration of the project through the analysis of chemical and physical characteristics of the Madeira River was made as well the waterway data of the construction. The next step treats, specifically, the physical characteristics of the engineering dam system such as the planning for the construction, the execution of the work and the technical data. Substantiating what we consider as the main goal, the whole process of the foundation of the dam was observed. Concluding the study, the socioeconomics and environmental characteristics of the Village Mutum Parana were debated before the construction of Jirau Dam. The results were based on the process of population relocation to Nova Village Mutum, its characteristics and the social programs offered to this community, which are now with a new cultural, economic, social and environmental interface. The methodology used in this work was a literature review, visits, technical meeting and interviews about the flooded villages as a consequence of human actions. This academic paper treats specifically the socioeconomics and environmental changes occurred in that location and to those riverside population in Vila Mutum Parana in Rondonia who were drastically damaged by the construction of the Dam UHE Jirau.UHEGestão AmbientaNova Vila Mutum ParanáImpactos SocioambientaisAmazôniapdf.Engenharias, Ciências Ambientais, Planejamento Urbano e Regional
