SUMMARY:

The work has as general objective to present an analysis of the socio-spatial transformations, arising from the tourist activity, in the region of Visconde de Mauá, from the 1970s to the present period. In addition, we will seek, as specific objectives, to understand how the social agents responsible for the production of space work, the public-private policies that facilitate tourist activity and the conflicts inherent in the development of tourism. The region of Visconde de Mauá, spatial area of this research, is located in the municipality of Resende, in the government region of the Middle Vale Paraíba Fluminense, also extending to the municipalities of Itatiaia and Bocaina de Minas, the latter already in the state of Minas General. The starting point of the procedures for the construction of the research was a wide bibliographic review based on the reading of books, theses, dissertations and articles, as well as a document review that addresses the theme in question, aiming at the construction of the theoretical pillars that guided the research. . Thus, we sought data related to the phenomenon of tourism and the use of space with its economic, social and environmental transformations. In addition, the operationalization was based on specialized sources, from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE); the Rio de Janeiro State Tourism Company (Turisrio); Secretary of Tourism of the State of Rio de Janeiro (SETUR); Ministry of Tourism (MTur) and Municipal Departments of Tourism in the area under study. In addition, data were researched in associations, newspapers and social networks in the region. The completion of the qualification followed the principles of qualitative research methodology, favoring the empirical approach that seeks to understand spatial interactions as a social process centered on the results of the actions of social actors. Therefore, in the first moment, there was recognition of the study area and identification of the agents that work in this region. From this finding, it was decided to approach and carry out the field work in July 2022, for seven days, in the three villages of the region (Vila de Visconde de Mauá, Vila de Maringá RJ/MG and Vila de Maromba).
