AS CIDADES INVISÍVEIS DA AMAZÔNIA BRASILEIRA (the invisible cities in the Brazilian Amazon)
Abstract
Conhecer a realidade urbana da Amazônia é de extrema importância para se compreender os processos contraditórios da modernização e seus impactos na conservação da floresta. Apesar do esforço de se compreender a dinâmica urbana na Amazônia Brasileira muitas cidades continuam desconhecidas, principalmente aquelas localizadas em areas distantes dos grandes projetos de desenvolvimento econômico e da fronteira agropecuária. Este é o caso para as cidades localizadas na calha do rio Juruá no sul do Amazonas, tal como a cidade de Eirunepé. Com o intuíto de contribuir com o conhecimento da dinâmica urbana e da cidade de Eirunepé este artigo visa analisar o perfil urbano de Eirunepé buscando com isso fomentar pesquisas sobre as cidades invisíveis da Amazônia Brasileira e ao fazê-lo tece reflexões sobre a rede urbana no Amazonas propondo uma classificação e tipologia que contemple a complexa urbanodiversidade existente na região.

ABSTRACT
To build a knowledge of the urban reality in the Brazilian Amazon is extremely important to compreehend the contradictory processes implied by modernization and its impacts in the forest conservation. Despite the effort to compreehend the urban dynamics in the Brazilian Amazon many cities continue unknown, especially those located in areas distant from the deveolpment projects and the agriculture frontier. This is the case of the cities located along the Juruá river south of the Amazonas state, such as Eirunepé. Aiming to contribute to the discussion of the urbanization this paper will through the analysis of the urban perfile of Eirunepé re-discuss the classification and typology of the cities in the Amazonas state contributing to the undersanding of the complex urbandiversity.
Key words: Urban perfile, Urban network, Eirunepé, Amazonas.
RESUME
La connaissance de la réalité urbaine de l’Amazone est extrêmement important pour comprendre les processus contradictoires de la modernisation et ses impacts sur la conservation des forêts. En dépit de l’effort de comprendre la dynamique urbaine dans l’Amazonie brésilienne restent inconnues de nombreuses villes, en particulier ceux situés dans des zones éloignées des grands projets de développement économique et de la frontière agricole. C’est le cas pour les villes situées dans le lit de la rivière Juruá aux sud de Amazonas, comme la ville de Eirunepe. Dans le but de contribuer à la connaissance de la dynamique urbain cet article vise à analyser le profil urbaine de Eirunepe favorisant ainsi les villes invisibles de l’Amazonie brésilienne et, ce faisant, se penche sur le réseau urbain de l’Amazonie pour proposer une classification et typologie qui contribu pour comprendre l’urbanodiversidade complexe dans la région.
Mots-clés: Profil urbain, Réseau urbain, Eirunepe, Amazonas.
