As transformações das paisagens na antiga comunidade de palafitas do Pina e no entorno do shopping Riomar

Abstract

The study of the landscape has been the subject of discussions and reflections in the academic world. The discussions in this scenario occur in favor of the transformations that have occurred in recent decades. The objective of this work was to understand the changes in the landscape of the old Community of Palafitas do Pina in the surroundings of Shopping Rio Mar. The study of the landscape focused on the meaning of the landscape for the residents. For the development of this research a research question was constructed: how in the old Community of Palafitas do Pina occurred the transformation of the invisible and excluded landscape, in the face of actions involving the residents and the public power? This is an exploratory research, which allows, therefore, to combine the advantages of obtaining the qualitative aspects of the information and the possibility of quantifying them later. This association is carried out at the level of complementarity, making it possible to broaden the understanding and results of the object of study. The stage covered included the bibliographic survey, a moment of interaction of the researcher with the knowledge that makes him able to increase ways and know-how and problematize the theme and, thus, assist in the definition of categories to be laborious in the object of study. Regarding the documentary survey, it is constituted in the search of images of Google Earth and Google Maps, since the analysis that fits the evolutions of the landscapes was perceived and concretized through this resource. The analysis took into account the temporal scale based on the changes and transformations that occurred in the last decades of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. Field research was conducted and in this scenario a semi-structured interview was applied with a quantitative of five questions: three identification questions about age group, length of residence and main economic activity, two subjective questions about the meaning of the landscape and about the impacts of the stilt community. As a result, the data analyzed in this study indicated that the negative impacts were monstrous in the daily life of the affected community. The landscape was physically excluded, but it lives on in people's memories.
