their location in the series of pictures. This way we could notice

5.2 Identification of the strip of navy lands 
Strip of Terrenos de Marinha, according to the 
legislation, is strip in a width of 33m, from any marine, or 
fluvial waters counted of the medium high tide of 1831 earth 
inside. The Terrenos de Marinhas integrate the patrimony of the

5.3 Identification of the previous seashore related to 
the occupation 
The present article has as objective to present the 
results of the analysis accomplished, which are exposed as 
proceed. When we analyze the Figure 2, we can still observe 
intact the structure of implantation of villas of Portuguese 
colonization, in the actual district of Säo José. It is easy to 
notice the presence of the Square of the Head office, of the 
church, of the House of Camera and Chain, of the Harbor, of the 
two streets in direction to the South, three streets in direction to

the North, a highway in direction to the West. This highway in 
direction to the West, linked the coast to the plateau, doing with 
that Säo José roots the point of means of transportation 
transition of goods and other commercial transactions. 
Being the photographic registration of 1938 the oldest, 
it is starting from him that we identified the seafront previous to 
the most intense occupation of the border. If we observe the 
picture sincerely, sharply we can observe starting from the 
Square of the Head office; Church; Harbor; Two streets in 
direction to the South; Three streets in direction to the North; A 
highway in direction to the West; Less than a dozen of

5.4 Identification of environmental alterations 
The urban structure that comes sharply in the picture 
of 1938, square, head office, four constructions, etc, it had been 
broken with the embankment and construction of the current 
building of the city hall, that it started to block the vision for the 
sea and its harbor, typical of the Portuguese historical 
populations. At this point happens the degradation of the 
historical center, which only became worse through the years in 
function of the disordered occupation of the border. It can all be 
seen in the Figures 3 and 4.
