A FORMA URBANA DE CIDADES GÊMEAS SITUADAS EM LIMITES GEOGRÁFICOS

Análise e implicações na produção espacial em Porto Murtinho/BR e Carmelo Peralta/PY

Abstract

The study's research object is the cities Porto Murtinho (BR) located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and Carmelo Peralta (PY) located in the Department of Alto Paraguay, separated by the Paraguay River, international border and geographic limit. With a port character, the region was promoted by the yerba mate industry, with urban form rich in history and different forms of territorial occupation. The research seeks to identify references to territorial occupation and responses to the different morphological formations observed in the border area of ​​Mato Grosso do Sul, also to understand the implications that geographic and territorial limits have on the spatial configuration of the border area. The method uses bibliographical research, on-site visits and analysis of images available on Google Earth. Thus, it was possible to understand that socio-spatial limits helped in the spatialization of urban space and in the different ways of occupying the territory, reinforcing the hypotheses constructed throughout the research.
