O PATRIMÔNIO DAS VISTAS: A violação do direito à paisagem e o caso do empreendimento hoteleiro da construtora NATHWF na Via Costeira de Natal/RN

Abstract

This work has as its starting point the protection of the right to landscape in the context urban. To outline the concepts of protecting the right to landscape and heritage landscape in the face of civil construction interventions, this study was based on the case of hotel from the construction company NATHWF on the seafront of the city of Natal. The construction in focus located in an environmental preservation area that conveys the identity of a cultural landscape and natural for the city's residents, highlighting the case for three reasons: mechanisms for protecting the right to landscape that exist in Natal’s legislation; the work is there embargoed for years, located on Via Costeira in Natal/RN, is the subject of a Public Civil Action which has been processed in the Federal Court of First Instance in the state of Rio Grande since 2006 From north; and the unique judicial decision to protect the landscape as a right and heritage with which such a process counts. The theoretical and legal aspects brought characterize the intention to expose the violation of this still dangerously relativized right, through a case in special that iconically managed to group, almost like a stereotype, the aggressions commonly suffered by the landscape heritage: vulnerability in the face of interests economic, and the huge concrete structure that visually damaged a characteristic surrounding of a given urban environment, full of aesthetic landmarks subtracted when looking at the clumsy civil construction intervention. At the end, it is hoped to stimulate reflection on the landscape as a diffuse right marked by density, related to the most diverse dimensions of nature and culture, representing stories from an entire city environment, highlighting image landmarks that serve as a reference for the citizen who lives there, both in geographic-spatial and affective sense.
