A transformação da paisagem: planos diretores em onze municípios do Espírito Santo, um estudo de caso

Abstract

This paper discusses the feasibility of procedures related to the landscape changes, as analysed by the method of participatory planning. We believe that the environmental themes depend upon the development of work methods for the stablishment of concrete strategies to consolidate a new urban reality and a new landscape. We believe that any coordinate action in the direction of preserving or regenerating natural resources as well as minimizing the impact of human settlements needs an inclusive debate, understanding and participation of different groups in society, when reading and studying the territory. Taking this insights into account, we decided to present a case study - the consultantship for eleven municipal committees training activities related to the development of Municipal Directive Plans in the Espirito Santo State mountains region. In this project, we had the opportunity to coordinate the technical works with the local comittees, composed by representatatives from the public legislative sector, the public executive sector and from the organized community groups.
