As queimadas na localidade L3 na zona rural de Floriano-PI: uma análise das consequências socioambientais no período do B-R-O-B-R-Ó

Abstract

Wildfires can occur naturally or anthropogenically, affecting the quality of life of the population and causing biodiversity loss. In Piauí, the period known as B-R-O-Bró which extends from September to December and corresponds to the hottest and driest time of the year favors the emergence of several fire outbreaks in the semi-arid region of Piauí. Given this scenario, this study aims to analyze the consequences of wildfires in the L3 locality, a rural area of Floriano-PI, during the B-R-O-Bró period. Methodologically, a qualitative approach was adopted, characterized as a case study. The field research, conducted in October 2025, involved the application of a structured questionnaire with 18 questions (11 objective and 7 subjective) to 20 residents representing families in the community. The data analysis revealed that the L3 locality faces annual problems related to wildfires, mostly caused by human action and aggravated by the absence of public policies aimed at raising awareness, prevention, and debate on the subject. The results indicated significant environmental and social impacts, such as loss of biodiversity, worsening of respiratory problems, material damage, and soil depletion.
