Análise do rima à luz das teorias sobre desenvolvimento sustentável: estudos de casos múltiplos na construção pesada no Brasil

Abstract

Sustainable development consolidates every single day as one of the subjects that arises interest from the scientific community, although such topic is propelled not as fast as the serious environment degradation process. In Brazil, environmental impact reports EIR (RIMA, in Portuguese) are the first instruments adopted to contain degradation. This research work aims at evaluate EIR (RIMA) grounded on sustainability theories in the field of economy and management. Multiple case studies were conducted here regarding three projects in hard civil construction in Brazil. The analyzed projects were the hydroelectric plant located in Belo Monte, the rail-station North-South and the highway BR 319/AM, intentionally chosen by their different techniques and by the fact they have a serious impact in the environment. The three cases were selected so as the analysis would not configure the features of one main project, but the one from EIR (RIMA). Such projects are huge in the sector and cause considerable impact both in national economy and the environment. Conclusion sets EIR (RIMA) fragility as well as in responding the minimal legal requests to project licensing, in terms of adherence to economic and organizational tools in sustainable development theory. We hope this research work contributes to propel the discussion on sustainability and to reverse the degradation associated to economic growth
