摘要：The article analyzes the process of social acceptability of the Belo Monte hydroelectric power plant and the disputes about the responsibility for health impacts through the analysis of the technical health chamber of the Sustainable Regional Development Plan of the Xingu. The analysis of the management process of this Plan evidenced how the inaccurate and conflicting relations between the public and private sectors affected attributions of responsibilities in mitigating social and environmental impacts. We find that the asymmetries of power between social groups and government agencies, the public-private relations, the weaknesses of the Brazilian federal pact and the tendency to overlap efforts in social participation, without articulation with existing mechanisms of participation and social control, tend to explain the reasons for the low effectiveness of the Plan to guarantee the regional sustainability of the territory impacted by Belo Monte.
