ABSTRACT
The vocation of the city of
Santos, located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, is presented in this paper.
Its vocation passed through port, commercial, and finally Santos developed the
industrial and summer vocation. The method used consists of a description of
the site studied through participatory observation of the landscape using
iconographic material. Moreover, the analytic-regressive method was utilized to
analyze the reality of the place studied with past facts in order to
reconstruct the current facts. Finally, the genetic-historical methodology
studied the modifications of the present structure over time and returns to the
current time to analyze the modifications. Reports of the history, the economy,
the formation of the port, and the city, through bibliographical and
iconographic data, gave support to this study. At the end, the theme of tourism
in urban space is treated as one of the solutions for the revitalization of the
center of Santos. This brings benefits to the resident and the visitor who can
see the history of Santos in the buildings and streets, returning life to the center, improving the security and making possible the
occupation of these areas.
