الملخص: | This study addresses the transformation of the landscape and human-environment interactions in the Porto Novo colony, located in the west of Santa Catarina, between 1920 and 1960. This period was marked by intense German migration and the accelerated deforestation of the Seasonal Deciduous Forest (SDF), part of the Atlantic Forest biome. The research explores the severe fragmentation of the original ecosystem, with special attention to forested areas between Brazil and Argentina, specifically in Santa Catarina and Misiones. The work is divided into three chapters. The first chapter provides an overview of the biophysical characteristics of the Atlantic Forest, highlighting the uniqueness of the natural environment and the traditional forms of human occupation that developed over time. This section clarifies how the biome adapted and was modified by human presence before the arrival of European colonizers. The second chapter focuses on the influence of the Portuguese and Spanish crowns in the region. It analyzes the use of cartography and historical expeditions that were fundamental in how the territory was understood and managed. Moreover, this chapter discusses the role of the forest as a stage for border conflicts, highlighting the main events and territorial disputes that occurred, thus shaping the political and cultural landscape of the region. The third chapter centers on the Porto Novo colony, investigating the dynamics of interaction between the colonizers and the natural environment during the settlement process. Here, the environmental impacts of deforestation and the cultural conceptions of nature that influenced land use practices by immigrants are examined. Through this analysis, the study concludes that the settlers' cultural practices and their interactions with the environment shaped the current ecosystem. The investigation makes a significant contribution to academic debates on the interaction between society and the environment. The focus on understanding environmental transformations in contexts of intensive colonization highlights the legacies of these interactions for contemporary ecological and cultural configurations. |
