| dc.description.abstract | The state capital of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, and the Praça da Liberdade (Liberty Square) were inaugurated in 1897, celebrating the republican values, at the expense of the image represented by the colonial city of Ouro Preto, the former capital. Around the Praça da Liberdade buildings were built to house state institutions such as the Government Palace and the state departments, in addition to the public archive and library. This place, since its inception, was established as the political center of the state of Minas Gerais. Due to the socioeconomic growth of the new capital and the inherent administrative functions, the buildings around the square were shown small to house the volume of administrative services and, in 1997, a project was developed to change the use of buildings, prioritizing cultural activities. The implementation of the project foreseen a partnership with the private sector, and for this would be transferred the management and maintenance of most cultural facilities to be created. After more than a decade of debates, in 2010, it was inaugurated the Cultural Circuit Liberty Square - CCPL, composed by twelve museums and cultural centers. This research aims to analyze the impact of revitalization actions in the Praça da Liberdade influence area and its appropriation by tourism. To attain the goal were conducted interviews with institutions that make up the CCPL, a structured questionnaire with managers from thirty-five outlets located in the Square influence area and a literature review regarding the formation of cultural territories, urban revitalization with emphasis in cultural facilities and the anthropological critique of urban renewal processes. Of exploratory nature, the research is justified in order to know in depth the effects and impacts of spatial concentration of cultural facilities in a particular place, which occurred within the last five years. | |
