A comunicação dos impactos socioambientais no EIA e sua retransmissão para o RIMA: um estudo comparativo das estratégias de comunicação das Hidrelétricas de Estreito e São Salvador

Abstract

This research paper aims to understand the communication process of socioenvironmental impacts in EIA as well as how this information is passed along to RIMA, through a comparative study of communication strategies from Estreito and São Salvador hydroelectric facilities. In this process, it was analyzed around 400 pages listing 146 different impacts through a content analysis. For a better understanding of the data analyzed, this research categorized the material into two ways: a qualitative study using text inferences and a quantitative study counting the impacts, citations, comparisons and/or the hydroelectric facilities of other places and the given space of them. The collected data showed that the study and the reports of each hydroelectric facility are different; the ones EIAs, even though they are distinct, they presented errors in their communication strategies; the ones RIMAS don’t accomplish the requirements in terms of resolution and constitution – the communication transparency with the local population about big projects.
