Cenário para celebração: verificação de aspectos turísticos e patrimoniais do centro histórico de Garibaldi/RS pela metodologia Sistema P.

Abstract

This study was conducted for the Master's dissertation in Tourism and Hospitality at the University of Caxias do Sul (UCS). The line of research is Tourism, Hospitality, Culture and Education, with a focus on cultural heritage. It is part of a theoretical-methodological field that conceives cultural heritage as a strategic resource for tourism, but also as an expression of memory, identity, and community participation. The territory researched is the Centro Histórico de Garibaldi - CHG (Historic Center of Garibaldi), a city of 35 thousand inhabitants located in the Northeast region of Rio Grande do Sul. The colonization by European immigrants, starting in 1875, and the production of sparkling wine, are relevant elements of intangible heritage. Among the tangible assets, the houses remaining from the immigration and later generations stand out, represented by examples concentrated in the historic center. The research's general objective was to evaluate the tourist and heritage aspects of the historic site using indicators from the Sistema P methodology (Brito, 2009; Brito, 2019; Iphan, 2020). Changes were made to adjust the scope to the nature of the territory and the study. As a result, based on the methodology's conceptual framework, the Centro Histórico de Garibaldi obtained maximum scores in almost all variables, which measured aspects such as the integrity, authenticity, and vitality of the heritage, basic tourism services at the historic site and surrounding area, the CHG's management policies and practices, and the information system adopted. Further studies are recommended to add sustainability indicators to the P System, as well as to assess the economic valuation of the CHG's built heritage. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
