Data of Electric (Un)Availability in Brazilian Amazon's Extractive Communities

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the availability of electricity, its energy sources, and mean dispersion per area in traditional communities living in Amazon's extractive reserves. The data set showed a situational description of the sample, allowing thus future conclusions about the level of energy justice in these reserves. The study provided the following information: local geography, relevant to analyses of appropriate methods for energy supply of these localities; territorial extension of the sample and number of families in protected areas, used to calculate the mean number of families per hectare; territorial location of the investigated areas, revealing the permeability of the municipal political division in terms of geographic boundaries of the protected areas. The data presented in this study may be used for comparative studies in similar contexts.
