O litoral e o mar em Presidente Kennedy: aspectos de uma maritimidade diferenciada no contexto capixaba

Abstract

Since our colonization the Espírito Santo always maintained a close link with the coast and the sea, being, thus, valuable spaces both socioeconomic and culturally. As we will see during the research, developed mainly in these areas and so conditioned to state of maritime marked practices, with traditional and modern maritime occurring all along its coast, however, many of them especially concentrated in the metropolitan area of Vitória. However, the city of Presidente Kennedy, object of study of this research, despite to be coastal, developed by several factors mainly socioeconomic and cultural, almost back to the sea with its headquarters far about 30 km from the coast. Faced with this apparent contradiction between the state and the city I fell to uncover the reasons why he so developed, that is, without a maritime marked by the beginning of the XXI century. For that made use of diachronic analysis on the history of that territory in order to understand its current spatial turned inward. On concepts of maritime and developing the potential of coastal and maritime, I sought to diagnose the main maritime traditional practices and modern developed in the city since the colonial period in the seventeenth century to the present day, so to better understand maritime presented in Presidente Kennedy. In view of new opportunities for use and occupation of the coastal and marine area of the city, within the socio-economical due to the state, I tried using the technique of scenario development, indicate future changes and redevelopment in the way the local population and their patrons are related to such spaces, and in some years the condition to Presidente Kennedy one maritime marked.
