We know that one of the permanent concerns that motivate scientific research is of a practical nature, especially with regard to knowing the facts, events and phenomena, in order to try to establish a forecast of the direction of the events that surround man, in the perspective of changing it. them. With this change, man can improve his position in the world and create better conditions for human life. Researching the effects resulting from the territorial change of the community object of this study is an important field of research, considering that displaced families had their livelihoods and socioeconomic dynamics altered, providing the possibility of analyzing social and economic liabilities. The community added characteristics of traditional Amazonian populations, such as fishing and planting in the floodplain for their livelihood. Due to the relocation, it was found to be opportune to present a reflection on the incorporation of practices aimed at the interaction of social actors and the promotion of development in the new territory. The choice to research the relocation of the Vila Nova de Teotônio community was made initially by working for more than ten and two years as an education professional in the State of Rondônia, initially working as a teacher and later expanding activities as a course manager. This experience enabled the development of technical, educational and mainly social works in the various communities that were relocated from their former territories to resettlements that accommodated families that were impacted by the construction of the Santo Antônio and Jirau Hydroelectric Plants in Porto Velho, arousing a significant interest in understand the social, economic and educational situation in the community. With that, we give ourselves to this task with greater pleasure. Greater pleasure than simply writing or producing scientific texts, without minimizing these other activities, but being able to contribute to society and the academic community. It is believed that success is related to the commitment and experiences developed throughout life, which equips us and heightens the desire to know the changes that the new environment has brought to the community. Thus, it was intended to better understand the behaviors, experiences, feelings of the various actors involved with this approach and how the change affected the study participants. The study allowed to provide, even, bases for the understanding of how the actions related to the communities are being developed in the region; and also, if they contribute to the production of training and information, in the sense that, if there are failures in the process, they can be revised, if necessary, in new resettlements in the Amazon. With this, it is possible to perceive the importance of studies that address the impacts on the riverside communities affected by the reservoirs of the power generating plants, leading us to an understanding of this theme, which have become, more and more, a matter of concern for society , since it is a matter for everyone. Therefore, it was intended with the present study to contribute to the development of the community, object of the present research, as well as communities from other places that have gone through the same experiences, and even for future constructions.application/pdfopenAccessComunidade RibeirinhaPesquisaEstudoCiências HumanasLivro
