Interpretation of cultural heritage through the tourist route of 7 de Setembro Avenue, Manaus, AM

Abstract:

The urban space provides the knowledge of the various manifestations of society materialized in its streets, avenues, buildings and squares, allowing a better understanding of the process that, over time, was responsible for its configuration. Thus, we sought to identify the possibilities of heritage interpretation of a city, through the 7 de Setembro Avenue, representative space of the history of Manaus in the periods pre-colonial, colonial, empire and republic, marked by its construction and its buildings. The methodology is qualitative, of the case study type, with the use of bibliographic, documentary sources, instruments such as inventory of tourism supply, observation, and interview. The landscape built on the avenue is a consequence of the social and economic formation of the region, where the main changes occurred as a result of the circulation of goods and the financial capital of two major economic and social development landmarks in the State and in the capital: the rubber cycle (1860-1930) and the creation of the Manaus Free Zone (from 1967 until today). Another result of the research is the suggestion of an interpretative touristic route through 7 de Setembro Avenue, with the main purpose of diversifying the local tourist offer, valuing heritage, and facilitating the understanding of this space.
