Abstract

The objective of this work is to understand the process of modernization that took place in Chapecó, focusing on the Getulio Vargas Avenue, as well as the perception of progress that was understood in the years of study (1937-1945), the Estado Novo period under government of Getúlio Vargas. It will be analyzed to what extent the ideal of standardization of urban space has intensified during the years in question, supported by a "feeling" of nationality, citizenship, progress and modernity. For the analysis, we used iconographic materials, cartographic representations and the newspaper "A Voz de Chapecó", in order to perceive the changes in space and the normative policies used, through conceptual discussions that involve the urban and the city conception , both for the years in question and a consideration of the terms discussed in the survey. It is also the focus of this research, to foment the discussion regarding the attributions of the space and the characteristics adopted over the years studied.
