O presente artigo objetiva discutir e apresentar os resultados das análises feitas sobre a implantação de parques eólicos na região de Sento Sé/BA, seus impactos positivos para a matriz energética brasileira, a relevância do licenciamento ambiental visando evitar os impactos socioambientais negativos e as medidas de mitigação para combater tais impactos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e de caráter exploratório, e, para delineamento da mesma, utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica para fundamentação teórica. No que diz respeito à coleta de dados, este se deu por meio das técnicas de observação in loco, e análise de discurso da população local. Mediante o que foi pesquisado é possível afirmar que é de fundamental importância a implementação de usinas de energia consideradas limpas e renováveis que possam contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável do país, sendo que o Brasil já foi apontado por um estudo do Programa das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente como maior mercado mundial de energia renovável. No entanto, é importante enfatizar a necessidade de considerar as peculiaridades locais, principalmente as do Semiárido brasileiro e, efetivar um rigoroso Estudo de Impacto Ambiental (EIA) e seu consequente Relatório de Impacto Ambiental (RIMA) ao invés de Relatório Ambiental Simplificado (RAS). Palavras-chave: Energia eólica, Impactos Ambientais, Transformações Espaciais.  Parks Wind and Spatial Transformations: an Analysis of Environmental Impacts in the Region of Sento Sé/BA  ABSTRACT This article aims to discuss and present the results of analyzes made on the siting of wind farms in the region of Sento Se / BA, its positive impacts on the Brazilian energy matrix, the relevance of environmental licensing in order to avoid the negative social and environmental impacts and measures mitigation to address such impacts. This is a qualitative research and exploratory, and, for the same design was used for the theoretical literature. With regard to data collection, this was through the techniques of on-site observation and discourse analysis of the local population. By what has been researched is possible to affirm that it is of fundamental importance to the implementation of power plants considered clean and renewable that can contribute to sustainable development of the country, while Brazil has already been pointed out by a study of the United Nations Program for Environment as the largest global market for renewable energy. However, it is important to emphasize the need to consider local peculiarities, especially in the Semi and enforce a rigorous Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and subsequent Environmental Impact Report (RIMA) instead of Simplified Environmental Report (RAS).Keywords: Wind Energy, Environmental Impacts, Spatial Transformations.

The intensive use of mineral resources brings along significant changes to the environment. The mining sector is essential for world economics, as long as it is operated on a basis that is technically coherent, socially fair and environmentally correct. This study aimed to characterize the bauxite mining of the Poços de Caldas plateau, MG, investigating its respective socio-environmental impacts. Through the overview presented, one can conclude that in most situations, the bauxite miningat the Poços de Caldas plateau mitigates its negative social and environmental impacts in a satisfactory manner in addition to generating positive social impacts; and the restoration methods of the mining-disturbed ecosystems have been continually improved and should be replicated by small-and-medium-sized companies.
