Abstract

The theme of this article addresses the need to know and protect our landscape heritage, particularly, in traditional or Luso-Brazilian cities. In this context, in old urban centers such as Olinda and Ouro Preto, we can observe that green areas are increasingly dilapidated by random and/or clandestine occupations. This results in the weakening of the cultural and symbolic identity of these sites. Taking into account this reality, we highlight that green spaces have been and continue to be part of a history, which has been practically ignored by governmental institutions. We should recognize that this theme represents a new opportunity to disseminate and preserve the landscape in these sites.
