As chancelas da Unesco como alternativas de gestão para os patrimônios culturais e naturais da Serra do Espinhaço, Minas Gerais, Brasil

Abstract

This article is the result of a reflection on the possible ways of relating territorial management in three of the municipalities in Minas Gerais that received the seal of World Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO): Ouro Preto (title granted in 1980), Congonhas, (title granted in 1985) and Diamantina (title granted in 1999). In the spatial context of the Serra do Espinhaço Biosphere Reserve (RBSE), Ouro Preto and Congonhas are also included in the proposal for the creation of the Quadrilateral Iron Geopark, a seal granted by the same international organization. Based on the survey of the management mechanisms of the RBSE region, a collaborative system is proposed between the cultural and natural sites, so that this management can be carried out in a more integrated and efficient manner, with the objective of giving greater visibility to the historical-cultural heritage aiming at the conservation and development of the region.
