O cemitério como espaço multifuncional: um estudo de caso em Tangará da Serra- MT

Abstract

Cemeteries are essential structures for environmental management and city planning and with their inclusion in the urban context, the space for them has been rethought in favor of landscaping and environmental conservation. This study aimed to analyze the configuration of Tangara da Serra– MT municipal cemetery, with the specific objective of listing the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional typology compared to the proposal of park cemetery, through a case study of descriptive nature and qualitative approach, based on bibliographic survey, on-site visits and informal interviews. The results demonstrated, in the comparison between the two models, that the traditional cemetery presents disadvantages in relation to the use of space and interference in the landscape, while the second one, despite not being identified as a cemetery, presents the advantage of its structure widely used in afforestation, with environmental benefits issues related to thermal comfort, conservation and scenic beauty.
