Abstract

The study on climate migrations during the ascents of the Jari River from the conception of former residents of the old power plant street in Laranjal do Jari-AP/Brazil, aims to identify the types of migrations and the complexities found from the floods of this important river, as a matter of environmental justice, since drama is unavoidable, especially for seniors who are vulnerable to many factors. This is a qualitative research with the application of an interview, with data collection carried out ex-post-facto due to the causes and effects of the floods related to the migration of citizens from the street in question, being considered in an inverted timeline, starting from from the last flood that occurred from March to June 2022 to those registered in the 1980's, analyzing the memory of former residents as an important biogeographic environmental source, considering the target audience as a member of an ecosystem that, at the same time, influences the environment that inhabits, are also influenced by it, either by natural or anthropogenic issues. The results show that 57.3% of the residents of the old power plant street are women, adding up to 45.7% who are over 53 years old, 54.7% migrated from other states in search of a job and settled in location and although 59.6% claim interest in moving to the neighborhood due to the floods, 40.4% do not have this interest present at the time of the survey, and for 38.6%, there is definitely no interest in changing the location despite the problems caused by climate change. The data and results were transformed into a scientific report to be made available to the city council, with the aim of being transformed into public management instruments in the search for ways to alleviate the suffering and damage resulting from the climatic dynamics of the municipality, especially people from third age.
