Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/9029The municipality of Ourém is regionally known as the “city of seixo” due to its prominence in the extraction of aggregates for civil construction. Despite its economic importance, mining activities carried out clandestinely impose significant socio-environmental challenges. As a result, there arose a need for effective oversight in combating environmental crimes related to mining. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify the challenges faced by environmental oversight institutions in the aggregate extraction sector in Ourém, Pará. It investigates whether there is effective oversight and how institutional, operational, and technological gaps exacerbate irregular practices and socio-environmental impacts, correlating them with effects such as erosion, sedimentation, degradation of water quality, and landscape alteration. The study adopts a case-based, exploratory, and mixed-methods approach. It includes a bibliographical survey of articles, theses, and documentary research analyzing laws, decrees, ordinances, and technical standards; a technical visit to the Municipal Environmental Secretariat of Ourém (SEMMA-PMO), semi-structured interviews, visual interpretation of Google Earth images, consultation of official databases (National Mining Agency, financial transfer panels), and spatial analysis in QGIS for map production. The results show discrepancies between administrative records and land occupation, the coexistence of research authorizations with signs of mining, underrepresentation of mining companies, an insufficient municipal technical staff for continuous monitoring, and the absence or inadequacy of degraded area recovery plans. The study concludes that, despite legal advancements and initial institutional structuring, oversight remains largely reactive and unable to prevent cumulative damage. Recommendations include integrating registries, strengthening technical capacities, operationalizing an environmental fund, and adopting geotechnologies for monitoring and recovery, aiming to reconcile aggregate mining with the protection of water resources and the well-being of local communities.Acesso AbertoFiscalizaçãoOurémMineraçãoGeotecnologiasOversightMiningTechnologiesCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::GEOGRAFIA::GEOGRAFIA REGIONAL::ANALISE REGIONALTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - ArtigoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
