A paisagem no plano diretor municipal: Uma reflexão sobre sua referência na legislação urbanística dos municípios paranaenses

Abstract

Landscape is one of the matters on the agenda of contemporary concerns regarding urban and rural land use. The objective of this paper is to identify how the concept of landscape has been treated as a theme of urban planning in planning legislation. For this, 381 comprehensive plans of Paraná State municipalities, Brazil, are analyzed, using content analysis methods. The revision seeks to understand what ideas of landscape appear in the legal documents, taking in account the five classifications of complexities of landscape defined by Jean Marc Besse. The results show that certain ideas predominate over others due to the reproduction of general provisions of urban policy instruments already provided for federal legislation and the application of standard models of law in different municipalities.
