The concern with the community of Morro do Atalaia, Paul Quarter, Vila Velha-ES, where chemical storage tanks were installed was a the purposeof this research. It is noticed that, with business growth in urban areas, damagesrisks and environmental impacts,as well populationwelfare,should be relevant for the definition of the location of such deposits. Therefore, understanding the risk and the degree of awareness of the population submitted to these circumstances is a relevant concern. This study aims to evaluate the perception of the residents of the community about the risks to which they are exposed, due to the installation of chemical deposits. Firstly, the research is composed of a historical geographic and demographic study of the community aiming to characterize the businessto be studied as well as the possible environmental consequences of it, through documentary research. It adopts as methodology the qualitative field research, which aims to describe the risk perception of the residents, subjects of the investigation, valuing personal perceptions and seeking to understand the point of view of those involved. The methodological procedure used was the application of structured questionnaires organized into two groups: socioeconomic characterization and specific framework of risk perception analysis, submitted to statistical treatment, chi-square test. Throughout the work, the results of the cross-referencing of risk perception with the variables level of schooling, work condition, income, time residing in the neighborhood and gender are presented. As for the variable level of education, the residents with higher education have more knowledge regarding the content of the tanks. The variables work condition and gender were not directly related to the perception of risk. On the other hand, the variable income, respondents with incomes between 2 and 4 minimum wages perceive with greater clarity the risks ofthe enterprise. In the time variable that resides in the neighborhood, it was observed that the residents who live from 30 to 39 years are more enlightened about the tanks. The research revealed that most of the residents presented some perception regarding the risks attributed to the proximity of the industrial enterprise in the community, however, it is clear that the enterprise does not serve the interests of the community, but this is not a decision factor for the change of place of residence by the residents.
