This study is intended to present a panorama of the townships surrounding the Port of Açu Industrial Complex (CLIPA), São João da Barra, Rio de Janeiro State – Brazil,on the basis of territorial and environmental issues. The overall objective is to analyze the relationship of the populations neighboring the complex with the territory they occupy, since both localities and the complex occupy a region that was rural for years.
