The material traces of these profound changes present a universal human value and the importance of its study and of its conservation need to be recognized. The preservation of the railroad villages shall be motivated by the fact that in these goods a cultural signification is recognized, its aesthetic and/ or historical value, also we can?t despise the symbolic, emotional, afective value, turning them worthy of measures to be tutorshiped for the coming generations. Still, the worries in preserving the railroad villages as historical heritage can be enhanced by the inventory processes, taking in account not only its historical and architectonic value, but also the urban action that turns possible the maintainance of the current residents in the residential complexes. Inside this context, an example is the Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro oppened in Campinas, S?o Paulo state, Brazil, on August, 11, 1872. The purpose was to build a railroad between the cities of S?o Paulo and Campinas. The company built throughout its existence a total of 1,612 houses along its tracks and main railroad junctions. Among the railroad villages built by the Companhia Paulista in Campinas, there is the village existing in the Ponte Preta district. During the last 80 years, the dwellings suffered countless interventions on the side of its residents, adapting them to several tastes and needs. The houses were steadily modified, with the substitution of several constructive components and even with the increase of the built area. In this thesis, we tried to know the changes that occurred in the Village. Still, in the initial phase of the research we noticed the deterioration of the houses, even with life risk of their residents. Thus, given the importance of the preservation of this railroad heritage through an inventory process and the imediate finantial getting for the restauration of the houses, with the aim that the residents may have conditions to continue to live in a safe manner, we applied for the openning of study of an inventory process of the railroad village Ponte Preta being the petition accepted by the Conselho de Defesa do Patrim?nio Art?stico e Cultural de Campinas (Condepacc). The investigations and results constitute the body of the present thesis/dissertation. / A Revolu??o Industrial constituiu o inicio de um fen?meno hist?rico que marcou profundamente uma grande parte da Humanidade, assim como todas as outras formas de vidas existente no nosso planeta e que se prolonga at? anos nossos dias. Os vest?gios materiais destas mudan?as profundas apresentam um valor humano universal e a import?ncia do seu estudo e da sua conserva??o deve ser reconhecida. A preserva??o das vilas ferrovi?rias deve ser motivada pelo fato de, nesses bens, ser reconhecido um significado cultural, seu valor est?tico e /ou hist?rico - n?o se podendo desprezar os valores simb?licos, emocionais, afetivos o que os torna dignos de medidas a fim de que sejam tutelados para as pr?ximas gera??es. Ainda, pode ser destacada a preocupa??o em preservar as vilas ferrovi?rias como patrim?nio hist?rico atrav?s dos processos de tombamentos, considerando n?o apenas seu valor hist?rico arquitet?nico mas tamb?m a a??o urbana que possibilita a manuten??o dos atuais moradores nos conjuntos residenciais. Um exemplo ? a Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro inaugurada em Campinas em 11 de agosto de 1872. O objetivo era construir uma estrada de ferro entre as cidades de S?o Paulo e Campinas, A Companhia em quest?o, construiu durante sua exist?ncia um total de 1.612 casas ao longo de suas linhas e principais entroncamentos ferrovi?rios. Dentre as vilas ferrovi?rias constru?das pela Companhia Paulista em Campinas, h? a Vila localizada no bairro Ponte Preta. Ao longo dos ?ltimos 80 anos, suas resid?ncias sofreram in?meras interven??es por parte de seus moradores, adaptando-as a diversos gostos e necessidades. As casas foram sendo paulatinamente modificadas, com a substitui??o de diversos componentes construtivos e mesmo com o acr?scimo de ?rea constru?da. Dentro desse contexto, procuramos, conhecer as modifica??es ocorridas na Vila. Ainda na fase inicial das pesquisas constatamos a deteriora??o das casas da referida Vila com risco de vida para seus residentes. Assim, dada a import?ncia da preserva??o deste importante patrim?nio ferrovi?rio atrav?s do tombamento e a imediata busca por financiamento para a restaura??o das casas, a fim de que os moradores tenham condi??es de continuarem residindo de forma segura, solicitamos a abertura de estudo de tombamento da Vila Ferrovi?ria Ponte Preta tendo sido a peti??o aceita junto ao Conselho de Defesa do Patrim?nio Art?stico e Cultural de Campinas (Condepacc). As investiga??es e os resultados constituem o escopo da presente tese/disserta??o.

In order to minimize the problems caused by the inconstant rains, Federal Government has invested resources on the implementation of programs to make feasible the strategical storage of water by means of barriers and dams. As a part of such strategy, the Castanh?o dam, in Cear? state, had its construction started in 1995, having one major impact: the submergence of Jaguaribara, a city 283 km away from Fortaleza. Among threatening, resistance, insecurity, dynamic acceptance and arrival to the new land, people were relocated in another site, rising a new municipality which was named Nova (New) Jaguaribara, inaugurated in 2001. Since its birth, this city features the history of the inlander people, afflicted by dryness and disputes for the power that water represents in the Northeastern midland context. / Cerca de 51 milh?es de brasileiros vivem no Nordeste enfrentando per?odos cr?ticos de estiagem e enchentes.

O reservat?rio do Castanh?o, no Cear?, faz parte dessa estrat?gia e surgiu no ano de 1995 tendo como grande impacto o desaparecimento da cidade de Jaguaribara, situada a 283 km de Fortaleza. Entre amea?as, resist?ncia, inseguran?a, aceita??o din?mica e chegada ? nova terra, a popula??o ? relocada para um outro s?tio, dando origem ao novo munic?pio, que recebeu o nome de Nova Jaguaribara, inaugurada no ano de 2001. A cidade nasce marcada pela hist?ria do povo sertanejo, uma trajet?ria castigada por conta da seca e das disputas pelo poder que a ?gua representa neste espa?o que determina a conjuntura do sert?o brasileiro.

The arrival of the railroad, the essential element for the formation of a new urban core, promoted great impact in the organization of the territory, extended in 1875 with the installation of a textile industry in Vila Carioba. The arrival of the highways and the increasing predominance of the road transportation will go to modify the social and economic behavior of the city. The deactivation of the railroad transportation and the abandonment of diverse buildings contributed for the degradation of the central historical core, becoming the focus of discussions about initiatives to be adopted for its recovery. This work analyzed the process of transformations and the intensified actions of requalification in the central area of Americana city from 1970. In 1996 the Municipal City hall of Americana created the commission of revitalization with the objective of requalification of the central area, giving sequence to the initiatives made with the creation of a public pedestrian precinct, aiming to response the existing conflict between vehicles and pedestrians. However, problems of the scope of public politics had remained in the central area, like social segregation, lack of historic heritage preservation, public laziness of constructions, and badly used spaces. The considered projects by the commission had been executed in a superficial and disarticulated manner, without a dialogue with the environment and the historical memory of the users, making difficult the incorporation of the revitalized patrimony in a new urban experience. / Esta disserta??o aborda as transforma??es urbanas de Americana, cidade m?dia paulista com perfil industrial, focando como objeto de estudo sua ?rea central enquanto n?cleo hist?rico central, edif?cios significativos e ?reas p?blicas.
