Between patrimonialization and segregation

Abstract

 This paper presents as an object of study the rela­tionship between local historical moments and pas­sages with its architecture, describing how this link influenced urban planning. Through this relationship, it was noticed how material and immaterial heritage were decisive for the creation of areas of special gui­delines, exemplified by the case study in the Brazilian city of Itaúna, in which a historical moment identified as a trigger for modification of the use and occupa­tion of urban space and, which can promote both the valuation and the depreciation of real estate in the regions where they are triggered. The research evi­denced the historical patrimony as part of the cultu­ral production of the man, with reflection in the architecture and in the urbanism. The objective was to understand how the patrimonial, cultural, symbolic and geographic dimensions affected aspects of ur­ban development and configuration, and to unders­tand the process of constitution of space elements that collaborate in the understanding of human ac­tion on the territory.
