| Resumo: | On the evening of April 1, 1981, the city of Santa Cruz was taken by a flood that
destroyed the spillway weir Santa Cruz and much of the city, causing the
population of the lower areas to abandon their homes. Residences and closest
to the dam, the river and the creek Trairi Sin streets were totally affected, and
many of the houses and public buildings completely destroyed. Located in the
state of Rio Grande do Norte, the city of Santa Cruz is marked by a very hot
climate and semi-arid. With an average normal rainfall of 498.7 mm per year,
the city is affected by drought since the beginning of its foundation, around the
year 1831. For its development had continued, it was necessary that the
population actualize various environmental interventions Nature, especially as
regards the storage and distribution of water. Considering the process of
occupying the space in question, as well as the relationships that human groups
have with the natural environment, we aim to analyze how human interventions
affect the environment around them, modifying it to meet their needs and
interests. Thus, we intend to understand how media coverage enabled the
construction of a framework of tragedy. We intend to observe how the
occupation of Santa Cruz led to the modification of their surroundings, trying to
discuss the effects of human intervention on natural disasters. Among the
research sources include newspapers A República, Diário de Natal, Tribuna do
Norte, O Poti and Folha de São Paulo, as well as interviews with the then
mayor of Santa Cruz, Hildebrando Teixeira de Souza, and with the couple José
Henrique de Pontes and Severina Aguida de Pontes, whose house was hit by
the flood. We will also take messages from the state government, the minutes
of the city council of Santa Cruz and reports produced by DNOCS on the
construction of the weir and its survey after the flood. |
