Assentamento e APA Tambaba à guisa da história

Abstract

Environmental History comes to meet the voices in the streets and, at the same time, build bridges between other disciplines and study fields. This new idea of History was born in the USA in the 1970s and it is already present in all continents; in Brazil this area is on growth. So, in this work we sought to reconcile the history of Tambaba Settlement and APA Tambaba under the view of Environmental History. By taking into account that the settlement was created recently, the same way as APA, and that many of the actors involved in those creations can still be listened, we chose Oral History to know and understand the formation processes of the preservation unit and rural community. The dynamics provided by the testimonials has fostered the knowledge on social and environmental divergences, which led to identify impacts caused by anthropization of the natural mean their prospects of sustainable use.
