Resumo

The present study aimed at analyzing the different meanings of the landscape viewed by the residents of the Cana Brava Lake, the Serra da Mesa Lake and the “SAMAMineração S.A.”, Associated Mining, in the area of Minaçu-GO. The purpose was to understand how the residents see the landscapes built by the mining and the lakes; and to verify if this type of landscape is considered a potential tourist place. Theoretical studies were conducted using surveys and bibliographical analysis. The studies of landscape were mainly based on: Tuan (1980), Cosgrove (1998), Claval (1998) and Rosedahl (1998). The practical studies involved visits to the the Environmental Agency of the State of Goias, the Town Hall of Minaçu, SAMA, the Cana Brava Lake, the lake and UHE of Serra da Mesa. In addition, interviews with the local residents were conducted to complement the study. It was verified that the majority of the local residents perceives the activity of mining and of Serra da Mesa and Cana Brava lakes under different points of view, such as economic, functional, esthetic, utopian and also the negative part of it. These landscapes can fit what Cosgrove defined as dominants and alternatives landscapes. As to the lakes, it can be stated that they are alternative landscapes, based on the futuristic and utopian aspects of them, mainly in the case of the Cana Brava Lake, which the residents recognize as having a big tourist potential. There are some tourist practices on the lake, but it is in the beginning.
