Abstract

The objective of this work is analyse the changes over the time in the landscape of the eastern portion of the city of São Paulo bordered by the Tietê River. This landscape is resulting from different forms of land use. The understanding expressed here is that the signs of memory mapped in this space, function as testimonies of stories and human transformations in the environment. So it is vital to understand three concepts: landscape, memory and heritage; as well as the relationships between these. These elements are important as they have in order to capture the transformations that have occurred and the remnants of this process. (AU)
