SUMMARY:

Significant events with spatial repercussions have occurred and are occurring along the Brazilian coastal strip. As a consequence, coastal ecosystems have suffered from the advances of human actions, including mangroves. These areas have been degraded, suppressed and filled in. This scenario of devastation has spread across all Brazilian coastal states, with the exception of Rio Grande do Sul. In the Northeast, specifically in Rio Grande do Norte, human actions on mangrove areas have both vertical and horizontal origins, severely affecting the Maré-Mangue areas. In this context, reducing the scale of analysis, the following question arises: what are the forms of land use in part of the Maré-Mangue areas of the Metropolitan Region of Natal-RN, considering the different agents from the perspective of spatial rationality and counter-rationality. Operationally, we start from the definition of four forms of use for problematization, namely: housing, tourism, extractive and state. As a space of analysis, the research covers 10 of the 15 municipalities of the RMN, Maxaranguape, Ceará-Mirim, Extremoz, São Gonçalo do Amarante, Natal, Parnamirim, Nísia Floresta, Arês and Goianinha. Methodologically, this research is a qualitative approach supported by bibliographical and documentary research and collection of secondary and empirical data. In the latter case, the collection instruments were: non-participant observation, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. As results, up to the time of the research, the mangroves qualify as areas of profound environmental and social relevance, being essential their protection and maintenance in their entirety, that is, in their three basic features: mangrove, apicum and salt marsh. Furthermore, by problematizing the anthropic advances on mangrove areas, we propose a concept of reflection and analysis that underpins specific planning for what we call Tidal-Mangrove areas, that is, the set of intersections between the plain of fluvial-marine influence, anthropic objects and mangrove forest. By doing so, we add dynamics to these areas through two geographic events, urbanization and environmental awareness. In response to this, during the urbanization of the In Brazil, an action intensified the anthropic advance on the Maré-Mangue areas: sanitation. Thus, the persecution of these areas was approved based on three phases of spatial sanitation: sanitation, universalism and environmentalism. In the first two cases, these areas were persecuted, their vegetation was suppressed, the soil was drained and filled, and the resident population was displaced. On the other hand, in the third case, the Maré-Mangue areas were relegated to marginalization. Furthermore, environmental awareness is an event that clashes with the space based on the rationalization of the environmental issue. Thus, we have specific regulations for mangrove areas, however, they do not reach their entirety, only the tree features. As a consequence, activities such as shrimp farming, urbanization and tourism circumvent the regulations and establish themselves as counter-purposes in this scenario.
