Análise dos impactos ambientais e socioeconômicos da exploração petrolífera no Estado do Amapá: estudo de caso na bacia da foz do Rio Amazonas

Abstract

Oil exploration in the state of Amapá represents a significant economic opportunity but also presents social and environmental challenges that need to be analyzed to ensure sustainable development. This study aims to assess the economic, social, and environmental impacts of this activity, identifying challenges and opportunities aligned with the local socioeconomic reality. To achieve this, the research examined the potential effects of oil exploration on job creation, royalty collection, and infrastructure development, as well as analyzing the risks to local communities and the environment. The study was conducted through a literature review and secondary data analysis, considering scientific articles and socioeconomic indicators from Amapá. Additionally, a comparative study with Guyana allowed for the identification of best practices and risks associated with oil exploration, contributing to the formulation of management strategies that promote the responsible use of resources. As a result, the work presents proposals for public policies and governance models aimed at sustainable economic growth, mitigating negative impacts, and ensuring benefits for the local population.
