Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight the particularities of a community through a scientific hypothesis using the landscape reading based on semiotics, since it carries a series of symbolic elements that demonstrate the intrinsic characteristics are products of the relations that are social environment. These issues are debated through a literature review that involves thematic and empirical observations in field research, as well as the collection and analysis of photographic images. The results show that, from the reading of the codes and symbols expressed in the social scene, we brought up some assumptions that were constructed during the theoretical discussions, revealing diverse social, political, economic and cultural relations contained in the urban space of Itapuranga. Therefore, this work highlights the relevance of the reading of urban landscapes using an alternative bias in the sense of contextualizing and problematizing the diverse social relations between the different groups within the urban space.
