MIRANDA, José Fernando; MOTA DE LIMA, Hernani; BORGES BARBOSA, Viviane da Silva y SPINELLI SANTOS MIRANDA, Letícia. The importance of mining for our preto, from the sight of the circular economy. REV. MAMYM [online]. 2020, vol.5, n.2, pp.28-36. ISSN 2519-5352.
Abstract The occupation of the Ouro Preto region began around 1698, due to the largest gold rush in the world. The wealth that came from gold made it possible to build a city that still maintains a unique architectural ensemble resulting in a city declared a World Heritage Site in 1980 by UNESCO. Despite the Baroque and Rococo architectural attractive, there are archaeological mining sites that today receive considerable attention. From its creation to the present, the city shows a strong dependence on mining. Throughout the years Ouro Preto experienced booms and declines reported inthis paper. Also, this paper highlights the adaptations suffered by Ouro Preto throughout history, in the perspective of the circular economy concept and shows how the city faced adversities encountered at critical moments, through reinventions, preserving its architectural complex, and describes the recent forms of tourist exploration of abandoned mines, reinforcing the principle that guides the circular economy.
