O olhar fotográfico na morfogénese do espaço urbano de Gaurama (1910-2017)

Abstract

The research analyzes the evolution of the urban space of the current municipality of Gaurama through photographic records from 1910 (beginning of colonization) until the year 2017 when the last expansion of the urban area in the city occurs. In addition, in order to give theoretical impetus to the study, it seeks to outline some conceptual aspects about urban morphology and what an urban area is. No less important is to understand the formation of photography and how to use it as a research tool. Throughout the three chapters, the research reveals the influence that economic aspects based on logging and industrial implantation promote in urban expansionism. In addition, it demonstrates how much local administration, promoted through emancipation, contributes to the development of the elements that make up the urban form.
