Abstract

This present research investigated the leisure manifestations in the city of Altamira-PA, considering the urban transformations resulting from the implementation of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant (BMHPP). In general, the main leisure practices in the city of Altamira were described, considering the relevance of the BMHPP implementation as an inducing event of a considerable reordering in the (re) production of leisure spaces. The first interviews and the participant observation constituted in methodological strategies of this research, in what they made possible a better understanding of the reality of the leisure of Altamira. The results evidenced a strong process of (re) definition of leisure spaces, characterized by agents, institutions, State, and residents living in the city. The emerging reality shows new dynamics of spaces and multiple leisure practices in the advent of UHBM. In this scenario, the emergence of new arrangements in the "leisure territoriality", characterized by the new forms established by the subjects, stands out the increase of the private spaces of leisure in comparison to the public ones.
