RESUMO:

This research emerged from the need to focus efforts to overcome the paradigm that considers that development is only linked to economic growth based on the intensive use of technology, which has made invisible diverse knowledge and practices throughout history. Focusing mainly on the foundations of Sustainability and Human Coexistence with the Semi-Arid and seeking to present the contributions, resistances and alternatives performed by women in this sense, a case study of an applied nature was did with the objective of understanding the environmental, social and economic impacts of using Água Viva’s System at Monte Alegre I Settlement Project - Upanema/RN from the perspective of female technicians and farmers. This system is a gray water reuse social technology that captures the water to be reclaimed which is filtered through to be released for use in backyards and was built in an effort by entities and a group of women farmers. To achieve the proposed, the data collection was performed through exploratory, documental and bibliographic research, direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the subjects involved, having a qualitative approach, which was based on categorization and discourse analysis to investigate the data. The understanding of the data showed that, in the light of bibliographical references and female subjects's speeches, the Água Viva System contributed positively to the issue of the elimination of pollutant residues and that the cultivation and breeding practices were altered after using the system. The analysis also showed that the local self-organization of women was a central factor in the process of creation and construction of social technology and that this process is seen by women farmers and technicians as something that made possible several apprentices, although women farmers do not see themselves as thinking of technology. The use of social technology strengthens the economic autonomy of women and women perceive more sharply the economic impact of what they produce when they register the data regarding their production, consumption and exchanges. From these results, the work points to the need to think about and collectively construct alternatives of human coexistence with the semi-arid that can alter the relations between the subjects themselves and those with the environment. Going further, it is evident that it is urgent to think of the sustainability of life from the creation and maintenance of material or immaterial conditions that are directly related to the survival of nature, considering the reality of groups that are marginalized, especially those located under the triple dimension of gender, class, and race.
