          Abstract

          Este trabajo trata de los Jardines Históricos de Natal y cuestiona: ¿Por qué los intentos de revitalización de nuestro Centro Histórico no alcanzan sus objetivos y los espacios libres públicos son abandonados por la población, tornándose nuevamente decadentes? El estudio pretende identificar, reconocer y alertar sobre la necesidad de preservar los Jardines Históricos, evitando desperdicios y garantizando la permanencia histórica del paisaje cultural para las generaciones futuras. Buscando relatar la historia a partir de sus marcas urbanas, la investigación se coloca entre la Historia cotidiana y la Geografía Cultural, eligiendo la cultura -modos de vida, costumbres, sentimientos de identidad y usos cotidianos - como componente de las relaciones entre hombre y espacio. Para alcanzar tales objetivos, se aplicó una reconstitución historiográfica, partiendo de registros fotográficos y descripciones literarias, con objeto de transformar composiciones morfológicas anteriores en realidad virtual. El procedimiento será adoptado en ocho plazas, identificadas preliminarmente como Jardines Históricos de Natal. El caso de la Plaza Augusto Severo, aquí presentado, alude a una pretendida restauración que resultó en una gran explanada sin cobertura vegetal, inadecuada para el clima y los hábitos locales. Ya perdida, en este momento, la oportunidad de rescate cultural, se espera que el espacio reconquiste su lugar en la memoria y vida cotidiana de la población.

          Translated abstract

          This article deals with the Historical Gardens in the city of Natal and ponders: Why do attempts to revitalize our historical center not reach their goals? Why are public open areas abandoned by the population, so that they start deteriorating again? The study tries to identify, to recognize and to alert for the necessity to preserve the Historical Gardens, trying to be effective guaranteeing that the historical and cultural landscape remains and will be available for future generations. In order to give an account of history through its urban prints, our research stands between history of everyday life and cultural geography, choosing culture - ways of life, habits, sense of identity and everyday life- as a component of the relations between man and the space that surrounds him. Therefore, a historiographic reconstruction was carried out, using photographic records and literary descriptions, to turn previous morphologic compositions into virtual reality. The procedure shall be adopted in eight parks, previously identified as Natal's Historical Gardens. The case of Augusto Severo Square, covered here, deals with a previous restoration during which a large esplanade was built, lacking vegetation and inappropriate given local climate and habits. Since the opportunity of cultural rescue has been lost, at this moment, we expect that the area will recover its place in people's memory and daily life.
