Gestão cultural integrada do território na Serra do Espinhaço: ações locais para transformações globais na microrregião de Presidente Kubitschek/MG

Abstract

The debate on sustainable development at the international, national and more recent level at the local level has been taking place more intensively since the 1960s, but it was from 2012 onwards that new understandings on the subject became more complex. These new understandings stem from the need for greater sensitivity to the various groups and actors, especially at the local level, where people through their relationships (often conflictual), practices and synonyms of belonging to the territory, ie through of their cultures, end up defining the economic, environmental and social paths to be followed over time. Starting from this logic, new approaches are necessary to provide a reading of the reality (knowledge and logistics), and consequently of the sustainable tripod, through the variable culture that embraces all the complexity of the groups and actors with the territory. In this sense, the study inserts the literature of Integrated Cultural Territory Management that proposes a new understanding of reality, from the territories, and searches through four concepts (Territorial Matrix, Training, Institutional Interlocution and Territorial Observatories) to make a reading of the reality embodied in the culture element. In order to do so, the study was outlined in the form of three papers, where in the first work, more theoretical, a theoretical discussion of the GCIT literature was constructed, in order to situate it in the light of the Sustainable Development debate. The second empirical study sought to build the foundations of GCIT literature in a territory and to subsidize a reading of reality, bringing to the debate all its cultural, social, economic and environmental complexity. And a third, more technological work that sought to analyze the previous empirical case in the light of the theoretical discussion of the first work, and to outline the limits and possibilities of the GCIT literature, and the possible methodological alternatives for new interventions in the territories. From the study, the relevance of the GCIT literature to new approaches to Sustainable Development proposals, the perspective of the territories, and logically of their identity cultures and cultural patrimony. This new approach has contributed to identify dilemmas and soften them, through a new local didactic (Figure 2 - Process Flow of GCIT), and consequently new logistical possibilities. Finally, the study is headed towards the potential to make new international platforms, such as ODS, indivisible, interconnected and integrated.
