Apreensão da transformação do território costeiro de Laguna – Brasil: estudo comparativo dos processos de crescimento dos balneários Farol de Santa Marta e Itapirubá

Abstract

This presentation is part of an ongoing research between UFSC and UDESC, aiming to understand the processes of growth of urban tourism structures in Laguna-SC. The object of this study is the settlements of Farol de Santa Marta and Itapirubá, at opposite ends of the studied city, which, at first, presented many similarities among themselves. The objective is to elaborate an urban-environmental reading of the studied territory and also to test the method of analysis to understand the site and the reality of these places. As the main theoretical contribution, we have the work of Sola Morales and Rubió (1993) that addresses the forms of urban growth. Its development were made through readings and interpretations of three aerophotogrammetric surveys and satellite images of time spans. The results of the graphical analyzes allowed the confirmation of the similarities in the origins of the settlements and showed that, over the years, there were quite significant distinctions in the configuration of these cases.
