The present work was accomplished at Conde’s Village, municipal district of
Barcarena in Pará State, with objective of studying the technological hazards related to
the oil leak, aiming the real menace situations and the vulnerability of the local
population. The methodology based on three stages: bibliographical rising on the
concept of technological risk; field work for the Identification and characterization of the
menace areas in the port zone and of the area of vulnerability in Conde's Village through
technical visits, interviews, application of questionnaires, observations and photographic
registrations; and finally cartographic rising and use of satellite images IKONOS for
delimitation of the menace areas in the port, setorization of Conde's Village and for the
making of thematic maps. In the port zone of Conde's Village we identified as main
menace areas to the leak: moorings area, where the leant against practice, load,
discharge and provisioning of ships and rafts with combustible oil are constant,
presenting menace level that is going of a lot the extremely probable of happening;
Access area, defined by the bridge through where it travels the pipeline, presenting
menace level as probable of happening leak and the stock area, where it concentrates
the storage tanks and platforms of provisioning presenting menace level that is going of
the probable to very probable of happening leak. In Conde's Village the social
vulnerability pointed that the population of the section river, in most fishermen, it
presents larger vulnerability degree, proceeded by the inhabitants of the section beach,
as owners of huts, that present medium vulnerability degree, and with low vulnerability
degree they are the inhabitants of the section firm earth. Therefore, a casualty with oil
will cart a reaction that it is angered to diffuse at the whole Villa, interrupting the main
change flows between the groups and its respective activities.
