“…The study is based on the definition of key variables that would make it possible to quantify and qualify the effects of the HPC in its surrounding municipalities. In the Amazon, the implementation of the HPC does not necessarily involve an equal social and economic development process for the affected region [5, 9,12,13,19,21]. Usually, only a The hydroelectric plant began commercial operation on 10 November 1984, with 4490 MW (Megawatts) of installed capacity in phase I of construction [20,28].…”

“…However, the installation of this type of mega project in the Amazon usually cause changes in land cover [16]. These changes are related to alterations in population dynamics and complementary infrastructure, affecting the way of life of the local populations [17][18][19]. The construction of the THC became a milestone in the socioeconomic dynamics of the region, which caused labor mobility, forming labor markets in the border areas of natural resource extraction.…”

Hydroelectric energy is known for being renewable, clean, efficient and harmless in comparison to other nonrenewable energy sources. Nonetheless, the installation of a hydroelectric power complex (HC) in places, such as the Amazon, have proven to cause land cover changes, and alter local population dynamics. Issues like migration and city expansion can cause economic, social and cultural impacts locally, while the benefits are seen in other regions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the socioeconomic indicators of the municipalities directly affected by the Tucuruí HPC. The study took into consideration three scenarios: the post-inauguration of the HC in 1988 (phase I), the beginning of construction in 2000 (phase II), and the completion of the Tucuruí HC in 2010 (phase III). Two types of multivariate analysis were conducted: the principal component analysis and cluster analysis, in order to identify the variables related to quality of life, and to be able to group the municipalities which have a similar quality of life. During the three scenarios studied, Tucuruí remained the only municipality with the highest quality of life index in the entire region, revealing the inequality present in the study area, which is something to be considered during the development of public policies.

“…But because of the plenty of resources and sources, 16 choosing the most appropriate RES is not an easy task because the preference of one system over the other can be influenced by multiple criteria. 17 Therefore, multiple researchers have changed their thought to energy-related problems, particularly RESs, [18][19][20][21][22] great attention was given to the set of criteria to be considered when selecting alternative and the preference for one another. [23][24][25] According to Krishnakumar et al 26 emphasized that between the techniques of collecting information related to the decision-making process, discussing problems with DMs contributes many information and ideas about the problem.…”

The need for energy sources in India has increased abnormally in recent years due to industrial and societal growth. To meet this demand, it was a necessary choice of renewable energy sources (RESs) as a solution to lack of nonrenewable energy sources. Due to the multiplicity of involved factors, selecting the most appropriate RESs is a multiattribute decision making (MADM) problem. There is a large number of work associated with the development of MADM techniques, especially under ambiguous and uncertain conditions. However, the effective embedding of uncertainty and ambiguity and in decision-making remains a difficult challenge, and thus this study introduces a new framework for solving the problem of selecting the most suitable RESs which is based on the neutrosophic set and TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multicriteria decision-making) method. It also reduces human intervention by being systematically applied. First, it transforms the linguistic terms presented into neutrosophic values and implements systematic techniques to compute missing values in the decision
