“…Although corporate managers were aware of all risks, they opted for continuing operations. This disregard for potential risks combined with lack of popular participation in decision-making in both disasters create what Tierney [55] calls corrosive communities, that is, communities that suffer after disasters "by lack of consensus and by controversies: there is no collective definition of the situation; there may be legal litigation processes; there is no closure of the situation; and the attribution of blame and the appointment of those responsible emerge, with the inherent lack of trust in institutions and people" [56]. Such experiences create in individuals what Freudenburg and Jones [57] call "recreancy", or a lack of trust in institutions and the state apparatus.…”

Mining dam failures have increased worldwide since the 1980s. Two large mining dam failures occurred recently in Mariana and Brumadinho, both in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. We hypothesize that there were significant differences in legal post-disaster decisions. The aim of this article is to understand the similarities and differences of post-disaster actions and controversies in Mariana and Brumadinho. We reviewed 686 news reports about court decisions and settlement agreements from the websites of state and federal courts and judicial institutions. After classifying the reports using an adapted protocol from a media health observatory, we conducted a thematic analysis. Our analysis suggests that there were significant differences in legal post-disaster decisions in the cases of Mariana and Brumadinho. In Mariana, there was privatization of post-disaster management, with the creation of the Renova Foundation, a mediated indemnity program, lack of access to information for those affected, and uncertainties in health and resettlement issues. In Brumadinho, there was faster implementation of the recovery and compensation measures, faster recognition of affected parties, and stronger participation of the population since the first hearings. Even though there were particularities in post-disaster management, the ultimate goal of the corporations responsible for the disasters was to protect their profits.

Questo articolo consiste in un’analisi del crollo del porto di esportazione del minerale di ferro, situato nel comune di Santana/AP, avvenuto nel marzo 2013, e delle sue conseguenze, in particolare sociali e ambientali. Sulla base di questi aspetti, questo articolo mirava ad analizzare quali erano e sono ancora le implicazioni di un impatto socio-ambientale sul Rio delle Amazzoni, sei anni dopo il crollo del porto di Santana-AP. Dal punto di vista metodologico, è stato condotto uno studio qualitativo, descrittivo-analitico ed esplorativo, sviluppato attraverso una ricerca bibliografica di revisione, sulla letteratura pubblicata in libri, articoli scientifici pubblicati su riviste, nonché analisi di documenti e rapporti ufficiali, relativi a studi sul disastro. Una nuova fase di esplorazione mineraria fu innescata nello stato di Amapá nei primi decenni del XXI secolo. In questo contesto, i comuni di Santana e Pedra Branca do Amapari erano e sono ancora città strategiche per il funzionamento delle dinamiche di esplorazione mineraria nello Stato. Il crollo della struttura portuale ha ucciso sei persone, versato un’alta quantità di minerale di ferro sul Rio delle Amazzoni, influenzando direttamente le caratteristiche ambientali di Rio, così come lo stile di vita delle comunità che da esso dipendono, perché questi popoli hanno rapporti culturali di utilità diretta e sopravvivenza con esso. A lungo termine, il disastro ha colpito l’economia mineraria amapaense, causato licenziamenti di massa, fallimento di molti fornitori di servizi, tra gli altri. Date le debolezze evidenziate e aggravate dal crollo del Porto di Santana, si conclude che è fondamentale riformattare le politiche urbani-territoriali che investono, dall’insediamento di queste imprese, anche nella prevenzione e nella segnalazione di possibili disastri, soprattutto nelle regioni che hanno grandi progetti minerari, come il caso in esame.

This article consists of an analysis of the collapse of the Iron Ore Export Port, located in the municipality of Santana/AP, which occurred in March 2013, and its consequences, especially social and environmental. Based on these aspects, this article aimed to analyze what were and still are the implications of a socio-environmental impact on the Amazon River, six years after the collapse of the Port of Santana-AP. Methodologically, a qualitative, descriptive-analytical and exploratory study was carried out, developed through a bibliographic review research, about the literature published in books, scientific articles published in journals, as well as analysis of official documents and reports, related to studies on the disaster. A new phase of mineral exploration was triggered in the State of Amapá in the early decades of the 21st century. In this context, the municipalities of Santana and Pedra Branca do Amapari were and still are strategic cities for the functioning of the dynamics of mineral exploration in the State. The collapse of the port structure killed six people, poured a high amount of iron ore over the Amazon River, directly affecting the environmental characteristics of Rio, as well as the way of life of communities that depend on it, because these peoples have cultural relations of direct utility and survival with it. In the long run, the disaster affected the amapaense mineral economy, caused mass layoffs, bankruptcy of many service providers, among others. Given the weaknesses evidenced and aggravated from the collapse of the Port of Santana, it is concluded that it is essential to rereformatise the urban-territorial planning policies that invest, from the installation of these enterprises, even in the prevention and alerts of possible disasters, especially in regions that have large mineral projects, such as the case under study.
