THE LEGAL-URBAN REGIME OF THE MAESA CULTURAL HERITAGE OF CAXIAS DO SUL – RS

Abstract

The research addresses the cultural heritage "MAESA", an old industrial park located in the city of Caxias do Sul - RS, Brazil. The general objective of the research is to verify the legal-urban regime of MAESA. In the first part of the research, the history and characteristics of the architectural complex are described. Afterwards, the regulation is addressed, in particular aspects of the Master Plan, Donation Law and General Plan. For that, we used the hypothetical-deductive approach method, adapted to legal science. The procedure method is monographic applied to a case study. The research has a basic nature with a qualitative approach, with a descriptive and explanatory objective. As a result, it was found that MAESA has specific zoning, being listed and identified as a Point of Historic Heritage Interest, it is also understood that it is necessary to observe criteria for compatibility between the current protection norms and the making of future decisions, which aim to enable the public use of space. We conclude that there is a legal regime to protect the MAESA complex, although the protection rules are dispersed.
