Lá onde o rio se parte em dois: memórias, patrimônio cultural e tombamento na cidade de Baião (PA).

Abstract

This work is based on the process of listing the built heritage that took place in the city of Baião, State of Pará (Brazil), and its possible political and administrative developments driven by the local government. In this space, it was investigated, in the process in question, clarifications on the roles played between civil society and the State power in the preservation and protection of cultural heritage, as well as understanding the effectiveness of legal instruments for intervention and management of urban space, such as the Federal Constitution, City Statute, Municipal Master Plan, Municipal Organic Law. The research also consulted the memories of six residents of Baião with a way of knowing their perceptions about the place, as well as, validating through their testimonies the tipping process that occurred. Thus, based on the experience lived through the process of heritage listing in Baião, the text presents reflections focused on the relationship between the urban intervention project in a heritage area and the need to develop a policy for the preservation of the built heritage and its surrounding area.
