Resumo
Large-scale infrastructure projects have caused dramatic disturbances in the Amazon, including social conflicts involving different socioeconomic and demographic groups. This paper investigates how discourses and social representations about the project and future construction of the UHE Tabajara, in the municipality of Machadinho, Rondonia, differ across demographic and socioeconomic groups. We assess how the collective representation of the UHE varies by different social actors in the area directly affected by the dam (village of Tabajara), and the urban and rural areas, using the Technique of Free Association of Words. The results will allow us to unveil how latent conflicts and perceptions about the impacts of the construction of the UHE Tabajara reflect a heterogeneous population whose individual and household characteristics should be taken into account in compensation and mitigation policies related to the construction of dams in Machadinho in particular, and for other infrastructure projects in the Amazon.
