EVALUATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS AS SUBSIDY TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING OF THE PROJECT OF LAND REFORM SETTLEMENT MARIA BONITA I, POÇO REDONDO/SE

Abstract

This study identified and evaluated the negative environmental and social impacts of the project of land reform settlement Maria Bonita I, located in the town of Poço Redondo, Sergipe, to support the licensing process. To this end,  two matrices were used: the first, adapted from Leolpold, was used to classify the impacts qualitatively according to: its type, its nature, its timing, its effect, its reversibility and its range; and the second, was developed in this research to list the striking activities, impacts, mitigation measures and the responsible for mitigating them. Then, the striking activities were described. It was concluded that the licensing is essential to minimize the environmental and social impacts and improve the quality of life of the population, since the environmental conditions must be met during this process.
