Análise da importância da compensação financeira pela exploração mineral para o município de Parauapebas (PA)

Abstract

Big mining projects can generate a fast growth in the cities where are installed. An example is Parauapebas city, in southeastern Pará, the largest collector of mining royalties in Brazil and moved to R$ 21.5 billion in mineral operations in 2012. Of this total, R$ 427.1 million collected in Financial Compensation for Mining Exploration (CFEM) and earned U.S. $ 283.1 million as quota-share. Based on this, this Graduate Work analyzes the evolution and importance of the collection of the CFEM and the geographical area in question. Together, we analyzed social indicators, demographic and economic, through the most current data possible. To do so, we adopted a methodology similar to the study by Teixeira (org), in 2009, when they analyzed the miners largest municipalities of Minas Gerais and Goiás. From the analysis of the period from 1997 to 2012, comprising two important municipal administrationsthe results indicate that mining in Parauapebas moved almost R$ 100 billion in CFEM and earned more than R$ 1.8 billion, and of this total, R$ 1.2 billion entered into the coffers of the local municipality as quota-share in 16 years. The numbers denote also the influence of mining, virtually unilateral, strong socioeconomic and spatial Parauapebas, considering the respective indicators are evolving according to the expansion of mining activity. Moreover, it appears that local development is tied to royalties received and that still falls short of desirable for a city that is emerging as the 33rd financial center of the country in terms of wealth generation or Gross Domestic Product (GDP), between 5,570 cities of Brazil. This work also points out how academic productions to be drafted or updated for new research on other cities of the region's mineral base, can be produced.
