SUMMARY:

Five neighborhoods in Maceió from 2018 onwards began to suffer from the
process of soil subsidence and the study carried out by the Brazilian Geological Survey found
mining activity as the cause of soil subsidence. From this scenario, thousands of residents of
the affected areas had to leave their homes, carrying out forced migration in the territory of
Maceio. The objective of the dissertation is to deepen the discussion on the concept of forced
migration, as it assumes a prominent position for analyzing the population movement of
thousands of affected people between the years 2018 and 2023. To achieve the purpose of
this investigation, we prepared an economic characterization of former residents based on
available official data, the spatial redistribution of former residents in new geographic units
contained in the city of Maceió was analyzed, the opinion of those who were directly affected
and who carried out a forced movement was evaluated and examined The opinion of residents
of the capital of Alagoas who were indirectly affected by subsidence is presented. The data
obtained showed that population movement occurred heterogeneously across the territory,
where groups in conditions of socioeconomic vulnerability migrated, mostly, to peripheral
neighborhoods of the city. The application of the collection instrument made it possible to
infer questions related to issues pertinent to displacement and some impacts felt by the
respective groups. Therefore, this dissertation tends to contribute in a crucial way to
elucidating several questions that permeate the greatest socio-environmental tragedy in urban
areas in Brazil.
