Resumen
This dissertation defines landscape as a fragment of the territory, which conforms
and changes spatially according to the dynamics from environmental, economic and
socio-cultural relationships. This research aims to understand how to characterize the
mining landscape through an interdisciplinary and holistic approach, with the purpose
of contributing for new use of mined areas and in landscape management as well. To
achieve this objective, methodologies on the landscape were interpreted; potential
existing gaps were verified in the territorial planning and management instruments
related to the mined areas; and the fundamentals of practices for new uses of these
areas were identified. This theoretical basis allowed a greater understanding of the
concept of landscape character and mined areas, making it possible to list the main
aspects considered in the characterization of the mining landscape. In this research,
references that adopt methods based on theories of landscape planning were
analyzed, including Design with Nature by Ian L. McHarg and Landscape Ecology by
Richard T.T. Forman, as well as works based on the Landscape Character
Assessment (LCA). Given the recognition of the importance of landscape from
Quadrilátero Ferrífero, this research supports the hypothesis that the landscape
characterization must be integrated to the process of elaborating new use of mined
area, enabling its reintegration into the territory from an environmental, economic and
socio-cultural perspective. It is expected that the result of this dissertation will
contribute to the contemplation on the future of post-mined areas and, to a certain
extent, may assist those involved in the mine closure process in the search for
appropriate suggestions for these areas.
