Considerações metodológicas para o levantamento dos limites paisagísticos do atrativo turístico Vale dos Vinhedos

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the limits of landscaped tourist route through the Vale dos Vinhedos qualitative analysis of its elements. The area is referred to as producer of grapes and fine wines and now, with the practice of wine tourism, landscape identity values will add local production. Situated at the confluence of the cities of Bento Gonçalves (RS), Monte Belo do Sul (RS) and Garibaldi (RS), the tour itinerary transcends administrative boundaries and brings a whole own territory. This research is justified by the importance the scenic landscape takes on the composition of tourism. For this, we adopt the Historical - Genetic method as a way of describing reality and search - in the methodological procedure, the organization of activities of the research. Theoretical base, built up concepts from authors who work the issues of transformation of space, territory and landscape. Through tools such as bibliographic and cartographic research, interviews and indirect observation, were sought subsidies for the proposed analysis. Thus, it was verified that the landscape is an important factor in the composition of the imaginary visitor. In the Vale dos Vinhedos there are separate sections landscaped with characteristics that cause different perceptions in visitors and therefore with different compositional and formal changes to tolerances. The Vale dos Vinhedos presents itself as a tourist route with multiple interfaces to visitors, and nearby stretches of urban areas seem devoid of winegrowing rural characteristics, which are part of the collective imagination. Yet there is a perceived trend of social and landscape change that instills the global scenario features, replacing the local identity. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
