Título.https://repositorio.ifal.edu.br/handle/123456789/1251In Alagoas, mining activities have been taking place in the city of Maceió since the 1970s to extract rock salt, a type of sodium chloride used in the manufacture of caustic soda and PVC. In February 2018, after heavy rains and an earthquake, several cracks appeared in streets and properties in the Pinheiro neighborhood. A year later, the same phenomenon was also recorded in the neighborhoods of Mutange, Bebedouro, Bom Parto and Farol, resulting in the expulsion of approximately 60,000 people from the five neighborhoods affected by the overexploitation of rock salt and the closure of more than 6,000 companies. The objective of the research was to analyze the impacts on the businesses of micro and small entrepreneurs affected by the mining disaster in Maceió, Alagoas. In order to analyze the impact of such a disaster on entrepreneurs/traders, the study uses a mixed approach, of the explanatory sequential type. The first phase, quantitative, was characterized as a cross-sectional study, while the second phase was qualitative, exploratory and descriptive in nature. The environmental disaster caused by rock salt mining contributed to losses for micro and small businesses in the affected neighborhoods. In addition to the economic impact, the disaster caused by the subsidence of the soil caused by the Braskem mining company also caused damage to the mental health of micro and small business owners in the region, according to the participants in the survey, which took place between May 2023 and December 2024. Regarding the value of the PCF from the Braskem mining company for business owners: 3% thought the amount of financial compensation paid was fair, while 34% said it was not. The decrease in revenue and financial difficulties led to the closure of numerous companies and the loss of jobs. Dissatisfaction with the social rent paid by the Braskem mining company and the compromised mental health were reported by the majority of business owners.
