SUMMARY:

This study investigates the colonization projects implemented by the Catholic Church and the Government in the urban formation of Pium and Punaú, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. These colonies were founded in the second half of the 1950s in a context where the Government and the Archdiocese of Natal, aiming to act in the rural space in order to mitigate the social movements struggle for land access in the counstryside, impede the entry and reduce the influence of the Ligas Camponesas and to develop and expand commercial agriculture, requested the coming of 23 japanese families to teach new agricultural techniques to the 81 Brazilian families selected to compose the two colonies. This research is based mostly on information collected from interviews with former members of the colonies and administrators, since at present there are no more official records or documents in the archives of the agencies responsible for the projects. In addition to the interviews, guided visits were also made to the sites that allowed us to make the cartographic reconstruction of the initial nuclei of the former colonies. With this it was possible to develop an analysis about the level of influence of the projects on the urban formation and in the current reality of the localities as well as a comparative analysis between them. The results showed that not only were the planning, implementation and administration processes of the two colonies different due to the specific actions of the Catholic Church and the State, but also that the urban development of the two sites over time followed inverse paths, since, as Punaú was administered by the Church, it received the most appropriate assistance and grew, but stagnated once it was no longer a colony. Pium, abandoned by the INIC before reaching it’s independence, declined and had its land use modified by the growth of the metropolitan region and tourist activities on the south coast, attacting large residential condominiums, commerce and public services. A development, therefore, unrelated to the former colony. Two similar cases, implemented only three years apart, but which reached quite different results regarding the production of the urban space, indicate the administrative difference and the connection of the two territories with the totality.
