Summary
Research reveals that the preservation of colonial sites in Brazil, through abandonment or institutional protection, has become a catalyst for economic growth and tourism development in recent decades. This study highlights how the process of cultural patrimonialization in Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, often aligns with urban renewal and increased touristification, raising important questions about balancing heritage conservation with sustainable development. The research employs empirical analysis to explore these dynamics, emphasizing the need for integrated planning that considers the interplay between cultural heritage, tourism valorization, and territorial management.
