The Bom Futuro community, the object of study of this research, is one of the areas located in the vicinity of Hydro Alunorte, directly affected by the red mud on the day of the spill. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the social and environmental implications that this event brought to the territory of the Bom Futuro community, seeking to closely investigate this environmental crime from the point of view of those who were most affected by the mining operation, in an attempt to understand how this process impacted the study area in the face of the fact that it occurred. This is a qualitative research, a field study where the techniques of semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and analysis of environmental surveillance reports and official reports were used. The results obtained from the development of this research point out that the environmental crime committed by Hydro in the area of the Bom Futuro community is responsible for a process of socio environmental changes that, due to the irregular dumping of industrial waste from the refinery, has profoundly altered the residents' way of life, as well as the relationships established between them and the natural environment. The reports from the research institutes prove that there has been contamination due to the overflow, directly impacting the community's water bodies, with metals above the levels allowed by law according to CONAMA's resolution 357/05, compromising the soil, as well as causing the loss of biodiversity both in terms of fauna and flora.PPGG - Análises socioespaciais e territoriais do campo na Amazônia
