Resumo
In 2015, the failure of the Fundão Dam at the Germano Industrial Complex in Mariana (Minas Gerais), under the management of Samarco Mineração S/A, a company controlled by Vale S/A and BHP Billiton, caused significant impact to the environment and populations of 45 municipalities in two Brazilian states: Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. The Fundação Getulio Vargas was hired to develop cuttingedge research on the methodologies used to assess and measure the socioeconomic damage caused by the disaster, combining intensive interdisciplinary data analysis and systematic interviewing of the affected population. Different quantitative and qualitative tools were used — including technologies for data mining and analysis of large volumes of data (big data) — as well as techniques involving artificial intelligence and machine learning. The initiative made it possible to propose comprehensive repair and rebuilding actions to mitigate the impact of the dam’s rupture in terms of housing, income, health, culture, and tradition, among others.
