CARTOGRAFIA DO LITORAL DE FORTALEZA NA DÉCADA DE 1940 (cartography of the coastaline from Fortaleza in the 1940s)
Abstract
O artigo trata do processo de implantação do Plano Diretor de José Otacílio Saboya Ribeiro para a cidade de Fortaleza no ano de 1947, destacando sua influência na formação socioespacial do litoral do município. Privilegiando a análise da forma urbana, buscou-se com o estudo das imagens cartográficas, cotejando e confrontando com os registros documentais, à compreensão de como se deu o processo de ocupação da zona costeira fortalezense na década de 1940. Fundado em reflexão caracterizadora da cartografia na construção ideológica do espaço urbano, realizou-se a análise dos registros cartográficos de Saboya Ribeiro, correlacionando-os com outras fontes, notadamente periódicos (Correio do Ceará e O Povo). A partir da reflexão de tais imagens cartográficas é possível perceber a busca na década de 1940 por um novo direcionamento para o litoral fortalezense, passando a servir como ferramentas para solicitação à intervenção pública na estrutura urbana citadina com a proposição na mudança dos usos e ocupações, tornando esse recorte histórico como marco que redirecionou a forma urbis do litoral de Fortaleza.

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the implementation of Fortaleza Master Plan process proposed by José Otacílio Saboya Ribeiro in the year of 1947, highlighting its influence on the socio-spacial coastline of the municipality. The focus of this analysis is on the urban form and we sought to study the topographical plans, comparing and contrasting them with the available documents, so we intend to understand how was the process of occupation of Fortaleza coastline in 1940 decade. The study is based in the topographic plan and seeks the ideological construction of the urban space. In this analysis we used the Saboya Ribeiro’s cartographic images file, correlating them with other sources, especially newspapers (Correio do Ceará and O Povo). From the discussion of those topographic plans it is possible to notice the searching of a new direction to the coastline of Fortaleza in the 1940 decade. The coastline was employed as an argument for public urban structure interventions with the changing of the use and occupation of the land, making this historic period as a milestone that redirected the forma urbis of Fortaleza coastline.
Key words: Coastline, Urbanization, Cartography, Fortaleza, Saboya Ribeiro.
RÉSUMÉ
L’article traite du processus de mise en œuvre du Plan Directeur José Otacilio Saboya Ribeiro pour la ville de Fortaleza en 1947, soulignant son influence sur la formation socioespacial du littoral de la municipalité. Centré sur l’analyse de la forme urbaine, nous avons cherché à étudier des images cartographiques, en faisant des comparaison et contraste avec les dossiers documentaires, de comprendre comment a été le processus d’occupation de la zone côtière de Fortaleza dans les années 1940. A partir d’une réflexion sur la cartographie dans la construction idéologique de l’espace urbain, nous avons effectué l’analyse des documents cartographiques de Saboya Ribeiro, en les corrélant avec d’autres sources, notamment les quotidiens (Correio do Ceará e O Povo). À partir de l’analyse de ces images cartographiques c’est possible voir une nouvelle direction pour la côte de Fortaleza, transmettre la demande de servir d’outils d’intervention publique dans la structure urbaine de la ville avec la proposition de changement d’occupation et d’usage du sol, faisant de cette période historique un indicateur qui a redirigé la forma urbis la côte de Fortaleza.
