A espacialização dos eventos culturais na cidade de São Paulo

Abstract

The current work aims to show how is the spatial distribution of cultural events in the city of Sao Paulo. As a cultural event it is understood any activity that has the goal of refining the knowledge or entertaining people through audiovisual resources and the demand for these must be spontaneous. In this respect, it is understood as cultural events like music concerts, film festivals, art exhibitions and theater plays. In principle, these events were related to the entertainment options the citizen population has and where it spatially concentrates in Sao Paulo. For the cataloging of these events were used Guides from the Estado de Sao Paulo journal published weekly in the years 2007 and 2008. Given the exceptionality of some events, we sought to determine how much they are also tourist attractions for the major city of the state. The survey of the events resulted in a cartographic systematization, in which a set of six thematic maps can be identified: the neighborhoods with higher concentrations of certain events; the possible creation of a territoriality, the occurrence of these events by districts in the city. Upon completion of this research, it was possible to create the systematic mapping mentioned above, which can be updated constantly, and found that cultural events are also one of the identities of Sao Paulo, due to its cosmopolitan character.
