ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS CAUSED BY INCIDENTS AT THE BRASKEM MINING COMPANY IN MACEIÓ-AL FROM THE FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE OF LOCAL MERCHANTS
Mining disaster; Braskem case; Economic indicators of companies.
In 2018, residents of several neighborhoods in Maceió felt an earthquake that started a series of complications in some neighborhoods. After studies by the Brazilian Geological Survey (CPRM, 2019) confirmed that the salt mines, operated by Braskem, generated soil destabilization, caused subsidence (sinking) in the neighborhoods of Pinheiro, Mutange, Bom Parto, Bebedouro and part of Farol. The objective of this work is to analyze the impacts generated by the Braskem incident in Maceió/Al, on the financial and economic perspective of companies in the region. For this, a semi-application monitoring application will be carried out in 3 groups of entrepreneurs; from these data, a quantitative analysis will be made through descriptive, inferential statistics based on three groups: directly affected, reached and not reached. It is therefore expected to map the commercial and economic movement of the dependent neighborhoods before the incident and relocation, certainly to analyze how the direct and indirect effects influence the local economy, in the same way it is expected that these analyzes can add value to the possible debates on public policies to support merchants and businessmen who are guests due to relocation or social isolation caused by the exodus from the neighborhoods.
