Entre os eixos da circulação: as faces-fases da produção do espaço urbano de Tucuruí-PA

Abstract

Considering that the process of social and territorial formation of the Tucuruí city was shaped in the organization undertaken by the fluvial-railway and in the road-energetic axes of circulation, the city started containing forms and contents that explain the production of the space in a constant movement of internal and external actions. Therefore, to view the various faces of the city, its urban expansion and to characterize its role in the regional division of work and in the urban network of its immediate region it is necessary to think about the following question: how do the axes of circulation constituted historically promoted an interurban and intraurban organization for Tucuruí? Thus, based on the axes of circulation it was aimed to analyze the interurban and intraurban spatial production/organization of Tucuruí and to portray the profile that Tucuruí city started developing after the structuring of the energy industry, its current configuration in the Amazon urban network. For this purpose, were done bibliographic and documental surveys and analyzes, direct systematic observation, implementation of application form and interviews, surveys of iconographic material and its analyzes. To analyze the aim of this research two spatial arrangements were used: the commerce (supermarkets, department stores and fishing activity) and the business (Higher and technical education level and health of intermediate and high complexity, in addition to the TV subscription service). This technical and empiric instrumental gave support to highlight: a) the production of the urban space founded by the technical networks and by the axes of circulation in Tucuruí-PA; b) that nowadays there is a social production of the space from the city no longer configured to attend exclusively the UHT (Tucurui Hydroelectric Power Plant); c) that Tucuruí even presents a continuity and a coexistence of riverside city, has also presented a profile of regional sub-center of territorial responsibility to the urban network and its immediate region.
