Proposta de zoneamento urbanístico de preservação para sítio histórico da cidade de São Luíz do Quitunde - AL

Abstract

This final graduation work, entitled “Proposal for urban zoning of preservation for the historic site of the city of São Luís do Quitunde-AL”, aims to propose an urban zoning with heritage conservation guidelines for the area of the city's planned historic fabric of São Luís do Quitunde in Alagoas, taking into account the historical and environmental conditions of the location. Faced with the urban problem of decharacterization of the historical site, linked to infrastructure and lack of protective legislation that recognizes local cultural heritage, the city of São Luís do Quitunde/AL has been undergoing a series of urban-landscape changes that do not take into account cultural aspects of the location. Methodologically, to understand the groups that qualify the urban environment, theoretical-methodological reading was carried out on the topic of urban morphology; in order to define the key concepts that guided the development of this work. Searches were carried out in collections and construction of maps, such as source and product, respectively, in addition to on-site visits. Through morphological analysis of the historic site, the characterization of the constituent elements of the urban fabric is presented, focusing on the historic perimeter, such as roads, lots and buildings; From this characterization, we understand the process of occupation of the city that results today. Finally, the material characteristics important for preservation are identified and a zoning of the area is then defined. This contains guidelines that guide urban development in harmony with local cultural attributes. It was defined that the area of the site considered historic is a Special Preservation Zone (ZEP - acronym in portuguese), but to suit specific needs, the site was divided into 5 zones. These are divided into a Special Zone for Cultural Preservation, Protection and Sustainable Development, Predominantly Residential, Environmental Recovery and, finally, a Special Zone for Environmental Preservation. Together, they encompass the territory of the historic fabric and adjacent blocks. The product of this course completion work could serve as an urban planning instrument for the elaboration and future discussion of other resources that protect and preserve the cultural heritage of the city of São Luís do Quitunde in Alagoas.
