RESUMO

With newfound prospects brought on by the discovery of iron ore in the Serra dos Carajás (Carajás Range), in the south of the State of Pará, the Brazilian Fedral Government undertook a series of interventions in the city of Marabá, starting in 1970. Once the location of the city was deemed inadequate, as it was vulnerable to flooding from the Tocantins and Itacaiúnas Rivers, plans were made to move it to another site, now known as Nova Marabá. The population of the old city did not take to this idea, sinde they had already learned to live with the floods that affected them almost every year. The persistence of the pioneer Marabá and its inhabitants, who still lead the life of typical river dwelling populations throughout the Amazon region, also reveals the failure of a governmental planning policy out of touch with local reality and the accommodation reached by the inhabitants with a problem that ends up generating exorbitant costs for the State every year, the result of damage caused by the flooding.
