This study was carried out with the purpose of knowing about the perception of
the risks of floods with emphasis on the socioenvironmental vulnerability of
families living in part of the Jardim Querido sector and the role of public
agencies in Porto Nacional - TO. It is notorious that the population density in
areas that are unsuitable for occupation increases great disturbances, material
and human losses. To that end, they were focused on the perception and
responses of the residents of areas that have already been impacted and the
surrounding area on the risks, social conditions, perceptions and experiences
lived. At first, theoretical background was discussed, encompassing subjects
such as the environment and environmental (in) justice, the notion of risk of
floods, the perceived / perceived social perception. As for the methodological
aspects, it was an empirical and field research, when data collection was
carried out especially with the people, in their residences and still in some
organs of the municipality. Thus, it is hoped that the results from this study will
serve as a subsidy for the planning of public policies, those responsible for the
monitoring and alert of this area and territorial planning of the city of Porto
Nacional - TO, always focused on the sustainability and improvement of the
quality of life of the population.
