THE RECOGNITION OF HERITAGE VALUES BY THE COMMUNITY AND THE PAMPULHA MODERN ENSEMBLE.

The Pampulha Modern Ensemble is an urban complex located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, whose metropolitan context is highly problematic due to the pressures of urban dynamics, impacts from urban development and the need to manage changes and preserve architectural and landscape attributes that have led to its recognition as World Heritage. This article is part of a larger study that investigates the community's recognition of the values conferred by experts on that complex's cultural landscape as a world heritage site. Due to the restrictive conditions imposed by the COVID 19 pandemic, an online questionnaire with open access to the general public was used as an instrument for the field research to collect primary data from the community. The analysis of the answers obtained from the questionnaire pre-test, object of this article, demonstrates the recognition of landscape elements and of the Pampulha Modern Ensemble that contribute to its enjoyment and that characterize it as a differentiated landscape in the context of the city.
