In that matter, there were several actions of improvements and embellishment in Natal, which had, as a starting point, the adequacy works of the port, located in the Ribeira quarter, with the aim of ending the physical isolation that reinforced its economic stagnation. Besides the problems faced in the opening bar of the Potengi River, and would complement the required improvements, other barriers demonstrate the tension established between the physic-geographic field and the man: the flooded and slope which connected Cidade Alta and Ribeira the first two quarters of the city.The execution of these works demanded knowledge whose domain and application it was for engineering. But, how the actions done for the engineers, in sense to transform natural areas into constructed spaces made possible the intentional conformation of the quarter of the Ribeira in a commercial and politician-administrative center, in the middle of the XIX century and beginning of the XX? Understand, therefore, the employment effects of technology on the physical-geographical Ribeira, is the objective of this work that uses theoretical and methodological procedures of Urban Environmental History, by analyzing the relationship between the environment and the man, mediated by knowledge and use of technologies. The documental research was used, as primary sources, the Messages of the Provincial Assembly Government that later became the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte reports and articles on specialized publications, in addition to local newspapers. The work is structured in five chapters. First, some comments about Urban Environmental History (Chapter 1) supplemented with analysis of the conceptual construction of nature in the Contemporary Era and its application in the city (chapter 02), the following chapters (03 and 04) deal with the rise of engineers as a active group in the Brazilian government frameworks and their vision about the nature inside the urban environment and it is studied how the professional technicians dealt with the improvement work of the harbor and in the shock with the natural forces. Other works that would complement this "project" of modernization and had had natural obstacles to be removed the Ribeira flood and slope constitute the subject of the fifth chapter. Finally, some final considerations retake the initial discussions aiming an association between the technique and the nature as junction elements inside the process of constitution of a Modern Natal / A necessidade de inser??o da capital do Rio Grande do Norte no cen?rio comercial mundial e sua afirma??o como sede do poder pol?tico, em fins do s?culo XIX e in?cio do XX, determinou o rumo das interven??es urbanas empreendidas, pela administra??o p?blica, para reestruturar a cidade. Nesse sentido, v?rias foram as a??es de melhoramentos e de aformoseamentos em Natal, que tiveram, como ponto de partida, as obras de adequa??o do porto, localizado no bairro da Ribeira, com a finalidade de p?r fim ao isolamento f?sico que refor?ava a sua estagna??o econ?mica. Al?m dos problemas enfrentados para a abertura da barra do rio Potengi, e que complementaria as necess?rias melhorias, outros entraves demonstrariam a tens?o instaurada entre o meio f?sico-geogr?fico e o homem: o alagado e o elevado que ligava a Cidade Alta e Ribeira os dois primeiros bairros da cidade. A execu??o dessas obras demandava conhecimento cujo dom?nio e aplica??o cabia ? engenharia. Mas, de que modo as a??es realizadas pelos engenheiros, no sentido de transformar ?reas naturais em espa?os constru?dos, possibilitariam a conforma??o intencional do bairro da Ribeira num centro comercial e pol?tico-administrativo, entre meados do s?culo XIX e in?cio do XX? Compreender, portanto, os efeitos do emprego da t?cnica sobre o espa?o f?sico-geogr?fico da Ribeira, constitui o objetivo deste trabalho que teve como ferramental te?rico-metodol?gico a Hist?ria Ambiental Urbana, ao analisar a rela??o entre o meio ambiente e o homem, mediada pelo conhecimento e emprego de tecnologias. Na pesquisa documental, utilizou-se, como fontes prim?rias, as Mensagens do Governo ? Assembl?ia Provincial posteriormente Assembl?ia Legislativa do Estado , relat?rios e artigos de publica??es especializados, al?m dos peri?dicos locais. O trabalho estruturou-se em cinco cap?tulos. Primeiro tece-se coment?rios sobre a Hist?ria Ambiental Urbana (cap?tulo 1) complementado, com a an?lise da constru??o conceitual da natureza na Era Contempor?nea e sua aplica??o na cidade (cap?tulo 02); os cap?tulos seguintes (03 e 04) versam sobre a ascens?o dos engenheiros, como grupo atuante nos quadros administrativos brasileiros e a vis?o da categoria sobre a natureza dentro do meio urbano e estuda-se a maneira como esses profissionais lidaram com as obras de melhoramento do porto e o seu embate com as for?as naturais. As demais obras que complementariam esse projeto de moderniza??o e que tiveram obst?culos naturais a serem removidos o alagado e o elevado constituem a ?tica do quinto cap?tulo. Por fim, s?o retomadas as discuss?es iniciais entorno da rela??o t?cnica e natureza, como elementos articuladores, dentro do processo de constitui??o de uma Moderna Natal

The problem of drought in northeastern Brazil gave the professionals performance, within an interventional process more mounts, the conception plans and measures for the purposeful integration of the territory afflicted. With the foundation of Inspetoria de Obras Contra as Secas (IOCS), in 1909, the actions to combat drought and would be institutionalized, them, studies performed out by technical and scientific committees would be systematically applied in the Brazilian Northeast. So, This work was central objective understand the historical process inplantation of a whole infrastructure of modern character by professional technical and their consequences within the Northeast Geographic space, in specific, in the municipality of Acari in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, in the first half of the twentieth century. The politics of the government, through technical education and scientific engineers polytechnics, would emphasize, during the twentieth century, the building of dams, and irrigation canals, wells, railways, highways, between other elements, that would soon transform the physical space-northeast, specifically, the territory acariense. These works began to contribute to the setting of man backcountry their land, promote the regular practice of agriculture even in periods of drought and, the integration, especially, economic of territory acariense the other producing regions of Rio Grande do Norte and the Northeast as well as promoting the modification of the landscape of the world backcountry. These actions functioned as elements of modernity and progress that transformed the space by favoring by favoring the formation of urban networks (urban) in this space / No Brasil, entre fins do s?culo XIX e as primeiras d?cadas do XX, os engenheiros polit?cnicos assumiram um importante papel na discuss?o da constitui??o de um pa?s moderno. A problem?tica das secas na regi?o que viria a ser chamada de Nordeste no Brasil proporcionou a atua??o desses profissionais, dentro de um processo intervencionista de maior monta, na concep??o de planos e medidas propositivas para a integra??o do territ?rio afligido. Com a funda??o da Inspetoria de Obras Contra as Secas (IOCS) em 1909, as a??es de combate ?s secas seriam institucionalizadas e, a partir da?, os estudos realizados pelas comiss?es t?cnico-cient?ficas passariam a ser aplicados de forma sistem?tica nas ?reas atingidas pelas secas. Destarte, este trabalho tem como objetivo central compreender o processo hist?rico de implanta??o de toda uma infra-estrutura de car?ter moderno pelo vi?s t?cnico profissional e suas conseq??ncias no espa?o nordestino, em espec?fico, no munic?pio de Acari no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, na primeira metade do s?culo XX. A pol?tica do poder p?blico, atrav?s da instru??o t?cnica-cient?fica dos engenheiros polit?cnicos, daria ?nfase, no decorrer do s?culo XX, ? edifica??o de a?udes, barragens e canais de irriga??o, po?os, estradas de ferro, estradas de rodagem, entre outros elementos, que logo passariam a transformar o espa?o-f?sico nordestino, especificadamente, o territ?rio acariense. Estas obras passaram a contribuir com a fixa??o do homem sertanejo a sua terra, promovendo a pr?tica regular da agricultura mesmo em per?odos de estiagens e, a integra??o, sobretudo, econ?mica do territ?rio de Acari a outras regi?es produtoras no Rio Grande do Norte e do Nordeste al?m de promover a modifica??o da paisagem do mundo sertanejo. Estas a??es funcionaram como elementos de modernidade e progresso que transformaram o espa?o ao favorecerem a forma??o de n?cleos urbanos (redes urbanas) neste espa?o
