Domingo no monte: lazer e cultura no Parque Histórico Nacional dos Guararapes

Abstract

This project was aimed at designing a day-long schedule of leisure and recreational activities at the National Historical Park of Mount Guararapes for the benefit of Jaboatão citizens and its neighboring towns, thus providing the locals with more opportunities to get to know their city and History. The striking lack of organized and safe leisure facilities in Jaboatão has led to the obliteration of interest in public places, making shopping malls and local beaches the single attraction available for most people. To achieve its aim, the project had set as its general goal to offer recreational activities in the National Historical Park of Mount Guararapes. Specific goals were surveying locals to identify problems and opinions about NHP Mount Guararapes; planning a grid of activities based on data collected through surveys and setting up a marketing plan for the project Domingo no Monte (Sunny Sunday). Also in this project the history of the town was outlined, as well as vital information concerning the origins and purpose of the NHP Mount Guararapes. As a result, it is expected that the proposed activities help improve the relationship between the park and its public, providing a sense of belonging and empowerment to all.
