SUMMARY:

Although the Northeast is a region where there is still a significant loss of population, it also has the highest volume of never migrants, especially in the countryside. According to the 2010 Demographic Census, about 10 million people residing in the Northern Semi-arid region, which is equivalent to 70.3% of the total population, had never undertaken migration from or in the region. This shows that immobility in the Semiarid region is greater than imagined, which may show that the ability to migrate is not available to everyone, as it requires a minimum level of human, social and physical capital, or may be reflecting a resilience structure developed in the birthplace. The first explanation tends towards the perspective of vulnerability of a population that does not migrate despite being exposed to risks, configuring a “trapped population”. On the other hand, from the perspective that the migration is not the only adaptation option, elements as a supplement to family income and security water supply, whether for consumption or production, can jointly play the role of making the population resilient, especially those who live in the countryside, where socioeconomic conditions, not only from an environmental perspective, are more arid. The role that institutions play is paramount to resilience. Adaptive governance on their part must consider both a social and ecological approach, aspects that, in the context of the Semiarid region, are identified in the Cisterns Program, a world reference in the quest to increase water and food security, in addition to the low impact on the ecosystem. Given this, one wonders how resilience contributes to immobility in the Northern Semi-arid. In the context of this question, it is also worth adding: is population immobility related to access to cisterns? Are individual, family and life cycle issues related to sertanejo immobility? What is the impact of the Cisterns Program on sertanejo resilience? In addition to the bibliography researched, to help to answer such questions, will be adopted as main sources of information both transversal databases, such as the Demographic Censuses (2000 and 2010) and the Agricultural Censuses (2006 and 2017), as well as longitudinal databases, such as the Cohort of the 100 Million Brazilians at CIDACS (Center for Data Integration and Knowledge for Health) at Fiocruz Bahia. These questions will guide the essays that will compose this thesis and will support the view that the sertão is not only vulnerable, but, above all, resilient. Given their experience with working in the sertão, “the sertanejo is, first of all, a strong”, although some social disadvantages are still evident, which makes social policies essential to potentialize their strength.
