Abstract

With the objective of analyzing the industrial landscape of the railway remnants of the Municipality of Rio Claro - SP, a study was carried out divided into three moments. The first refers to chapter one, where readings and analyzes of the theoretical-methodological definitions were carried out on the origin, development and application of the concepts of heritage, landscape and memory, which supported not only the conceptual definitions of the themes, but the possibilities of methodological and technical applications. The second moment of the research is arranged in chapter two, with an evaluation of the uses, states of conservation and properties of railway assets, with theoretical, field and spatial survey. Here, a technique was also tested for capturing and analyzing community valuation data for the remaining railways, evaluating and systematizing them so that they could be more objective and visual. The third moment, systematized in chapter three, refers to the investigation of preservation policies directed to the railway system, analyzing the Master Plan, the Tourism Development Plan and the heritage laws, with the intention of evaluating whether these can contribute to its reuse, restoration and valuation. In this way, the research advances in landscape studies for the preservation of railway heritage from its areas, spaces and architectural structures to the values associated with them by the community and its users.
