Abstract

Peoples who live on the banks of Amazonian rivers carry habits and economic, cultural, spatial heritages and their territories are at the mercy of the natural dynamics of these rivers. From the 2014 flood, families in the Triângulo neighborhood in Porto Velho/RO, in addition to losing part of their economy, the catastrophe involved (1) misconfigured accesses; (2) flooded homes and (3) unassisted families. The question we ask is: what were the impacts of the Santo Antônio HPP on the spatial configuration of the Triângulo neighborhood after its installation? The work aims to examine the impacts on the spatial configuration of the lower area of the Triangle neighborhood and the methodological process is divided into three stages (1) literature review, (2) planialtimetric survey and visits to the neighborhood and (3) representation, modeling and tooling treatment. The study points out that the enterprise compromised extractive activities, disrupted private properties and public elements, resulting in losses for the local population and its surroundings.
