GEOMORPHOLOGICAL APPROACH IN THE STUDY OF MINING HERITAGE

ABSTRACT The objective of this work is to analyze the potential of the anthropogenic relief as an unexplored dimension of mining heritage, since it understands that the geomorphological features derived from the mineral extraction process have value for geoconservation actions. A survey and analysis of bibliographical references was carried out to identify the articulation between mining and geoconservation, from a geomorphological approach. Finally, a conjunctural analysis was proposed in the Minas do Camaquã Geosite, in order to understand the anthropogenic forms of relief as mining heritage. Anthropogenic morphologies derived from mining activities should be explored based on their relationship with the techniques used for their spatial organization and the historical period in which they were created and may promote geotourism geared towards mining in geosites occurring in mining areas.

摘要
本研究旨在探讨人为地貌（anthropogenic relief）作为采矿遗产未被充分发掘维度的潜力，因研究认为，矿产开采过程衍生的地貌特征对地质保护（geoconservation）工作具有重要价值。本研究通过文献调研与分析，从地貌学视角梳理了采矿活动与地质保护之间的内在关联。最终，本研究以卡马宽矿区地质遗迹点（Minas do Camaquã Geosite）为研究对象，提出综合情境分析路径，以明确作为采矿遗产的人为地貌形态。由采矿活动衍生的人为地貌形态，应结合其空间组织所依托的技术手段与形成的历史时期开展系统性研究；此类地貌可助力矿区内地质遗迹点开发面向采矿主题的地质旅游（geotourism）。
