The construction of the Transamazônica highway in 1970 motivated euphoria demonstrations with the possibility of "occupation" of the Amazon and its riches exploration, but also concerns related to the risks that this work could provide to the public health. The analysis of official projects and reports, interviews with residents, national newspapers and essays published during this period, show that there were investments in public health, but those were not enough, because there have been considerable cases of deaths of workers and farmers by diseases and accidents. The repression forces tried to hide the news about diseases in Transamazônica area, because it was a fundamental part of huge investments which, according to the dictatorship, would contribute to take Brazil to worldwide standards.

The construction of large agricultural projects and cores of colonization in the Amazon makes it possible to problematize the planned policies for the settlement of the region and the impacts caused by them. This paper analyzes the implementation of three different areas of agricultural colonization in the Amazon The first, in the Second Empire, during the second half of the nineteenth century, in the Bragantina region in the northeastern of Pará; the second, in the First Republic, on the border between Brazil and French Guiana, the Cleveland colonial core implanted in Oiapoque in the 1920s; and the last, in the 1970s, during the civil-military dictatorship, with the colonization of the Transamazônica area. Different temporalities and government schemes intertwine to discuss, in a historical perspective, the impacts of the living conditions of local and migrants, and the conflicts which caused social problems.
