A influência dos monumentos instagramáveis da cidade de Maceió no turismo e na vida dos maceioenses

Abstract

This work's main objective was to analyze the influence that the popularly called “instagrammable monuments” inserted in the city of Maceió, Alagoas during the last administration of the city hall (2021-2024) have on the image of the city, both in the eyes of tourists as well as residents. To this end, a timeline was created with the urban monuments inserted in the city from the 19th century to the present day, where it was sought to understand the history behind these works and the architectural and urban context of each era, together with a mapping showing the location of all these monuments in the city. Furthermore, a survey was carried out using multiple-choice questionnaires with tourists and residents of Maceió in different locations where the monuments are installed, in order to understand whether those monuments contribute to the understanding of the cultural aspects of the city. It was sought to understand the function of these monuments in the urban environment and their influence on the external image of the city, to then create a discussion about the reason for the existence of these spaces emptied of meaning and disconnected from local identity.
