Socio-urban Action Plan (PAS)

The Socio-urban Action Plan (PAS) is a strategy comprising actions and measures aimed at repairing, mitigating or compensating for any adverse impacts resulting from the evacuation of the Pinheiro, Bebedouro, Mutange, Bom Parto, and Farol neighborhoods, affecting the social and urban dynamics of the Maceió.

A total of 48 initiatives were identified, encompassing the construction or refurbishment of daycare centers, markets, squares, and healthcare facilities, alongside efforts in cultural, social, economic, and urban development. Implementation of these initiatives involves collaboration between Braskem and the Municipality of Maceió, with responsibilities divided accordingly.

Established within the framework of the Socio-Environmental Agreement signed in December 2020 between the Federal Public Ministry, Braskem, and with the involvement of the Public Ministry of the State of Alagoas, the PAS has been embraced by the Municipality of Maceió.

The PAS design was based on social studies conducted by an independent company, as provided for in the agreement itself.

Residents, representatives of the community, entities and organizations participated in dialogues, interviews and public listening to contribute to the Technical-Participatory Diagnosis of how different regions and social groups in Maceió were affected by the relocation.

The impacted areas were classified into Focal Centers (NF) located throughout the neighborhoods of Maceió.

NF1 - eviction area
NF2 - surrounding area
NF3 - more distant areas that received the relocated population
NF4 - municipality of Maceió

Public hearings

Four public hearings were held in person and with online participation so that the community could actively participate in the preparation of the diagnosis, asking questions and making suggestions. The report was presented to the authorities and updated based on the contributions received. Initiatives are being subject to discussion and validation with both the local community and governmental authorities.

The PAS is organized into four areas:

Social policies and vulnerability reduction

Conditions are needed to gain access to social policies and the effects of relocation.

Economic activity, work and income

The impacts of relocating populations and businesses on job creation, income levels, and the availability of trade and services.

Urban and environmental qualification

Urban and environmental conditions and the impacts resulting from the eviction of neighborhoods, deactivation of urban businesses and services, and relocation of families and companies.

Preservation of culture and heritage

Impacts of relocation on cultural production and the material and immaterial heritage of the region and its communities.
