Caracterização dos impactos provocados pelas construções e especulação imobiliária turística sobre moradores residentes em áreas litorâneas do município de Tamandaré, PE

Abstract

Coastal areas are home to a vast biodiversity that is subject to human actions resulting from tourism activities, affecting mangroves, coral reefs, sandbanks, marine life, estuaries, and local communities living around these areas. Agroecology emerges in this context, redefining the relationships between the environment, society, and tourism. The objective of this study was to characterize the effects of real estate speculation on residents living in coastal areas of the municipality of Tamandaré, PE. The study's target audience was residents close to the coastal strip. Interviews were conducted with 15 residents living in areas impacted by tourist constructions, addressing parameters related to quality of life, landscape, employment and income, culture, environment, and sanitation. Eighty percent of the interviewees reported that the residents' quality of life worsened after the constructions due to the increase in temperature, creating a heat that did not exist before. The destruction of trees in the area was also mentioned, modifying the existing landscape. Forty percent of the interviewees reported difficulty in finding employment opportunities in tourism developments after construction. Ninety percent of the residents reiterated that no municipal authority had established a dialogue with the community before construction began, which was even impacting historic or ancient sites located on the coast. All reported that sewage from these new properties is dumped into the sea or mangroves, returning to their homes in the winter. Thirty percent of the interviewees expressed a desire not to remain living near constructions and developments in the coming years
