Abstract

This comparative study tried to analyze whether the predictions of the
Integrated Environmental Assessment (IEA) of the Tocantins River Basin
Hydroelectric Plants were realized in the medium term, from 2006 to 2015.
Were considered the potential scenarios regarding the socioeconomics of the
municipalities of Palmeirópolis, Paranã, Peixe and São Salvador do Tocantins,
Tocantins State, Brazil, directly impacted by the Peixe Angical and São Salvador
Hydroelectric Power Plants (HPP). As methodology was used the content
analysis of IEA and analysis of socioeconomic data of the municipalities
investigated. The results indicate that the predicted socioeconomic scenarios
were partially achieved, especially with the increase in municipal revenue.
However, other socioeconomic indicators revealed an index of economic and
social development in the municipalities not corresponding to the forecasts
contemplated in the basin planning study.
