Abstract

The Alto do Moura handicraft is a living culture until nowadays in Caruaru-PE, having world recognition thanks to the father of clay pieces, Master Vitalino, who with his genius, even being illiterate, made this art something immemorial for all who have access to this culture. Due to this, it is necessary to ensure that the raw material necessary for the manufacture of the craftsmanship does not run out and consequently the making of the pieces does not stop being produced by the craftsmen. Therefore, the present study has the purpose of evaluating the impacts that are caused to the environment when the clay is extracted from the deposits used by the artisans of Alto do Moura and also the estimation of the useful life of the same, so that one has a previous knowledge as to the duration of the deposits identified through the analysis of the data obtained by the application of a socio-economic and environmental questionnaire, so that, when it is close to these deposits, the president of ABMAM (Association of Craftsmen in Clay and Residents of Alto do Moura) the appropriate measures for the choice of other extraction areas that have been previously evaluated as environmental viability.
