The purpose of my dissertation is to bring cultural geographic theory, including the ideas of representation, power, cultural and religious identity, and the contested and negotiated nature of places and identities, into discussions about the broader field of religious tourism. I use Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, the spiritual centre of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon or Latter-day Saint Church), as a case study to discuss and contest three theories related to religious tourism and sacred space that are prevalent in the academic literature. These include the contested space theory, where I argue that discussions about contested space must be set in the historical context and conditions under which conflict or contestation is first developed, and the pilgrim-tourist dichotomy, the utility of which I question in light of management strategies Latter-day Saint Church leaders use to destabilise identities at Temple Square. I also critique the view that religious sites lack sufficient managerial expertise to be run effectively by religious site managers. In doing this I argue that scholars and tourism industry officials need to take religious culture and history more seriously when attempting to understand how leaders of various religious faiths view tourism and how those views influence the management of their sacred sites.

The religious tourism that takes place in Trindade is largely responsible for the growth, not only of the municipality, but also of local development, since it has placed the town on the map on a national level, which has made it an economically attractive location, generating new business, job and income opportunities. The Basilica of the Heavenly Eternal Father is the towns main attraction, and is the only Basilica in the world that is dedicated to the Heavenly Eternal Father. This Sanctuary, in analogy with Perrouxs theory of economic growth poles, acts as a industrial powerhouse , since it creates a demand for a wide number of economic activities within the municipality, such as: restaurants; snack bars; transport services; hostels; hotels; travel agencies; tourist guides; clothing industries; manufacturing companies producing souvenirs and religious items, etc. This grouping of companies-entrepreneurs, all of which exist because of the Sanctuary, can be characterized as a Local Production Arrangement LPA, that has not yet been formalized. According to statements issued by the Ministry of Tourism, religious tourism is a segment of the market that has the capacity to create jobs and income, to establish municipal districts as tourist destinations and to help to create a better quality of life for the local populations. Religious tourism is the main activity that has been developed in Trindade and has attracted a good deal of public, private and third sector investment, but also creates certain inconveniences for the local people, especially during the commemoration of the Festival of the Heavenly Eternal Father, when the town is transformed as it makes its preparations to host the event. This, the main purpose of this dissertation is to examine the impact that religious tourism, in the municipality of Trindade, has on local development. / Trindade, conhecida popularmente por Capital da Fé , surgiu a partir da romaria ao Divino Pai Eterno e hoje é reconhecida nacionalmente por realizar um dos maiores eventos religiosos do Brasil: a Festa do Divino Pai Eterno, que, em 2014, registrou a presença de 2,8 milhões de visitantes. O turismo religioso praticado em Trindade contribui, em grande medida, não apenas para o crescimento, mas também para o desenvolvimento do município, uma vez que o projeta no cenário nacional e, assim, gera novas oportunidades de negócio, empregos e renda. O principal atrativo da cidade é o Santuário Basílica do Divino Pai Eterno, a única no mundo dedicada a ele. O Santuário, por analogia à teoria dos polos de crescimento de Perroux, atua como "indústria motriz , pois gera demanda por um grande número de atividades econômicas no município: restaurantes; lanchonetes; serviços de transporte; pousadas; hotéis; agências de viagem; guias de turismo; indústrias de confecção, fábricas de souvenirs e de artigos religiosos etc. Esse agrupamento de empresas-empreendedores pode ser caracterizado como um Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) ainda não formalizado. Conforme constatações do Ministério do Turismo, o turismo religioso é um segmento de mercado capaz de gerar empregos e renda, consolidar municípios como destinos turísticos e contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade de vida das populações locais. O turismo religioso é a principal atividade desenvolvida em Trindade e tem atraído muitos investimentos públicos, privados e do terceiro setor, mas também gera alguns desconfortos para a sociedade local, principalmente durante a realização da Festa do Divino Pai Eterno, quando a cidade se transforma para que o evento seja realizado. Dessa forma, o objetivo principal desta dissertação é analisar os impactos do turismo religioso no município de Trindade para o desenvolvimento local.

This city was the stage of religious facts that, since 1926, were very important for the local society and have made Tamba? to become known in a national level. Priest Donizetti de Lima Tavares (1882 1955) was the main actor in this history. His religious deeds became miracles, his full active participation in the city events gave him public respect and have become his opinion decisive to solve problems in several fields, causing important changes in the small town of Tamba?. The repercussion of these events wild spread itself considering that the religious deeds, Priest Donizetti Tavares is being investigated by the Vatican in a open process for his beatification. As time passed by, theses memories remain strong in the present time and this project intends to contribute to the preservation of these memories to Tamba? future history. The city still has some of theses places where the religious deeds happened. Nowadays they have become places of memories and also points of visiting for the religious tourism present in the city. This project attempt to justify not only the importance of keeping this memory alive but also to alert to a necessary preservation to future generation of theses Places of Memories . Considering that Tamba? is, by its history, scenario for religious tourism this dissertation attempted also to emphasize aspects directly related with the tourism as a current phenomenon of our society, and particularly the dimensions of religious tourism. There is a great demand of tourists and peregrinators that go to the city to visit these places related to the history of Priest Donizetti. If well planned this tourism may contribute in a responsible way to the preservation of the physical and non-physical patrimonial of the city and generate profits and progress, through the insert of new activities to the several fields in the economy of Tamba?. The Faith Way , recently created, is one of these activities that amplify the interest and the curiosity of new tourists. As a conclusion, this project points to the necessity of creating a dialogue between the history of the city and current dynamic of the tourism looking forward to the future of Tamba?, the preservation process of its history and its Places of Memories . / O presente trabalho enfatiza a import?ncia de preserva??o da hist?ria e de alguns locais de mem?ria religiosa da cidade de Tamba? no interior do Estado de S?o Paulo. Esta cidade foi palco de fatos religiosos que, a partir de 1925, marcaram a vida da sociedade local e fez com que Tamba? ficasse nacionalmente conhecida. O Padre Donizetti de Lima Tavares (1882 1955) foi o protagonista desta hist?ria. Seus atos religiosos propagaram milagres, sua presen?a ativa nos acontecimentos da cidade conferiu-lhe uma importante dimens?o p?blica, tornando sua opini?o decisiva para a resolu??o de problemas de v?rias ordens causando grandes mudan?as na pequena cidade de Tamba?. A repercuss?o destes eventos se amplia atualmente tendo em vista que a atua??o religiosa do Padre Donizetti est? sendo investigada pelo Vaticano num processo aberto visando sua beatifica??o. Com o passar dos anos, essas lembran?as permaneceram fortes no presente e este trabalho pretende contribuir para que sejam preservadas para o futuro de Tamba?.

nÃo hà / Os conflitos de interesses existentes entre Igreja e poder pÃblico serviram como impulsionadores do mecanismo de avaliaÃÃo das polÃticas de reordenamento urbano para Juazeiro do Norte -CE, quando se captou a visÃo do turismo impulsionado pela fà e valorizando o social, defendido pela Igreja como repÃdio ao planejamento do turismo com bases economicistas, idealizado pela Prefeitura. O trabalho aqui exposto trata da relaÃÃo entre as aÃÃes pÃblicas propostas em comparaÃÃo com a realidade dos visitantes interagindo com o espaÃo urbano local durante a Romaria das Candeias, campo de observaÃÃo da pesquisa. Para tal, foi realizada inicialmente uma pesquisa bibliogrÃfica e documental quanto Ãs polÃticas pÃblicas estaduais e municipais com foco na estruturaÃÃo do centro da cidade de Juazeiro do Norte, destacando os lugares-chave (alvo das romarias). Em seguida, buscou-se conhecer a realidade dos agentes sociais envolvidos, atravÃs da coleta de documentos e dados qualitativos e quantitativos para se ter uma idÃia da adequaÃÃo dessas polÃticas pesquisadas. Tem-se como objetivo da pesquisa observar se as polÃticas pÃblicas de turismo elaboradas para Juazeiro do Norte condizem com a realidade do espaÃo urbano usufruÃdo por romeiros e turistas, estabelecendo um contraste entre o que foi vivenciado com o que à projetado pelo poder pÃblico para a cidade, possibilitando assim uma aproximaÃÃo da problemÃtica romaria/cidade, qualificando os desafios compostos nas polÃticas pÃblicas analisadas neste trabalho (PAT/PDDU), permitindo avaliar o posicionamento da Igreja e da Prefeitura no reordenamento urbano e no desenvolvimento do turismo religioso em Juazeiro do Norte. Como resultado, identificou-se a importante funÃÃo da Igreja na coparticipaÃÃo da gestÃo pÃblica em Juazeiro do Norte, sendo a organizaÃÃo urbana de Juazeiro do Norte de responsabilidade e interesse de ambas as instituiÃÃes (polÃtica e religiosa), por certo por motivaÃÃes adversas, mas com o mesmo objetivo: proporcionar desenvolvimento socioespacial que beneficie populaÃÃo local e visitantes.

O espaço geográfico é uma construção social dinâmica, resultado da interação entre diferentes fenômenos que atuam em distintos tempos históricos e refletem complexas formas de organização da sociedade que são materializadas por meio de sistemas de objetos. Dentre esses fenômenos, o turismo é uma prática social e atividade econômica que produz o espaço geográfico, processo que ocorre a partir de um conjunto de ações que se materializam pela apropriação de diferentes objetos geográficos, ou mesmo com criação de novos objetos, integrando-os em uma nova dinâmica socioeconômica que tem o uso turístico como vetor de consolidação do espaço geográfico como produto a ser consumido. Na confluência entre religião e turismo se desenvolve o turismo religioso, modalidade turística que produz espaços de uso turístico-religioso a partir da apropriação dos elementos relativos ao sagrado e do incremento da infraestrutura, básica e turística, integrando-a a um sistema de objetos orientados para atender uma demanda turístico-religioso. Perante o exposto, o presente trabalho apresenta uma análise comparativa do processo de produção dos espaços de uso turístico-religioso das cidades de Trindade, Aparecida e Santiago de Compostela, tendo a cartografia turística como método para compreensão da dinâmica atual, com ênfase na análise da distribuição geográfica da oferta turístico-religiosa. O objetivo geral, portanto, é apreender e analisar, à luz de uma teoria do espaço e de um método atinente à cartografia geográfica, as similaridades/padrões e disparidades do processo de desenvolvimento do turismo religioso e a espacialização da oferta turístico-religiosa atual nas cidades de Trindade, Aparecida e Santiago de Compostela. Destarte, foram definidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: compreender a gênese das cidades estudadas relacionando-a ao desenvolvimento da religiosidade; analisar e comparar o contexto histórico do surgimento e desenvolvimento do turismo religioso; identificar os elementos que compõem a oferta turístico-religiosa atual; analisar e comparar, com base na representação cartográfica, a distribuição espacial da oferta turístico-religiosa das três cidades. Para alcançar os objetivos listados, a metodologia do trabalho consiste em: levantamento bibliográfico sobre os temas que abrangem o contexto teórico-metodológico da pesquisa; levantamento bibliográfico e documental sobre a gênese e evolução das cidades; compilação de dados dos órgãos públicos e demais instituições responsáveis pelo planejamento e gestão do turismo nas cidades; compilação de bases cartográficas que abrangem os limites territoriais das cidades estudadas; elaboração da cartografia turísticas das três cidades, com uso do software ArcGIS 10.2.2, a partir da visualização, cruzamento, tratamento dos dados sobre os espaços de uso turístico-religioso; levantamentos de campo na área urbana das cidades estudadas; e análises e discussões dos dados e informações levantados e produzidos. Conclui-se que a produção dos espaços de uso turístico-religioso, no contexto cristão-católico, apresenta aspectos similares e contrastantes, considerando desde a gênese da religiosidade, o advento e consolidação do turismo religioso, e também na distribuição geográfica da oferta turístico-religiosa na contemporaneidade; identificam-se mais similitudes entre as cidades brasileiras, embora haja aspectos específicos que aproximam mais as realidades de Aparecida e Santiago de Compostela. Por fim, pode-se afirmar que a representação cartográfica dos espaços de uso turístico-religioso permite comparar as potencialidades e fragilidades da distribuição geográfica da oferta turístico-religiosa, bem como, compreender o padrão do ordenamento territorial resultante do processo histórico de consolidação do turismo religioso. / Geographic space is a dynamic social construction, the result of the interaction between different phenomena that operate in different historical times and reflect complex forms of organization of society that are materialized through systems of objects. Among these phenomena, tourism is a social practice and economic activity that produces geographic space, a process that occurs from a set of actions that are materialized by the appropriation of different geographic objects, or even with the creation of new objects, integrating them in a new socioeconomic dynamic that has the tourist use as a vector of consolidation of the geographic space as a product to be consumed. At the confluence between religion and tourism, religious tourism develops, a tourism modality that produces spaces of tourist-religious use based on the appropriation of the elements related to the sacred and of the increment of the basic and tourist infrastructure, integrating it with a system of oriented objects to meet a tourist-religious demand. The present work presents a comparative analysis of the production process of tourist-use spaces in the cities of Trindade, Aparecida and Santiago de Compostela, with tourism cartography as a method for understanding current dynamics, with emphasis on the analysis of geographical distribution of the tourist-religious offer. The general objective, therefore, is to apprehend and analyze, in the light of a theory of space and a method related to geographical cartography, the similarities / patterns and disparities of the process of development of religious tourism and the spatialization of the current tourist-religious offer in the cities of Trindade, Aparecida and Santiago de Compostela. Thus, the following specific objectives were defined: to understand the genesis of the cities studied, relating it to the development of religiosity; analyze and compare the historical context of the emergence and development of religious tourism; identify the elements that make up the current tourist-religious offer; analyze and compare, based on the cartographic representation, the spatial distribution of the tourist-religious offer of the three cities. In order to reach the objectives listed, the methodology of the work consists of: bibliographical survey on the themes that cover the theoretical-methodological context of the research; bibliographical and documentary survey on the genesis and evolution of cities; compilation of data from public agencies and other institutions responsible for planning and managing tourism in cities; compilation of cartographic bases that cover the territorial limits of the cities studied; elaboration of the tourist cartography of the three cities, with the use of ArcGIS 10.2.2 software, from the visualization, crossing, treatment of the data on the spaces of tourist-religious use; field surveys in the urban area of the cities studied; and analyzes and discussions of the data and information collected and produced. It is concluded that the production of tourism-religious spaces, in the Christian-Catholic context, presents similar and contrasting aspects, considering from the genesis of religiosity, the advent and consolidation of religious tourism, as well as the geographical distribution of tourism- religious in contemporary times; more similarities between Brazilian cities are identified, although there are specific aspects that bring the realities closer to Aparecida and Santiago de Compostela. Finally, it can be affirmed that the cartographic representation of tourist-religious spaces allows comparing the potentialities and fragilities of the geographical distribution of the tourist-religious offer, as well as understanding the pattern of territorial organization resulting from the historical process of consolidation of tourism religious.

There is growing interest in attributing sacred value to the environment for its protection and management. Claiming the environment as sacred, however, is different from the environment in sacred sites. Sacred sites, places of heightened religious and spiritual significance, are found in all societies and visited by thousands of visitors. Visitor flows affect the environment in sacred sites in direct and indirect ways. Two distinct approaches can be identified in the discussion of impact on sacred sites: one focuses on the assessment of the physical environment and the other emphasises the effects on the cultural and sacred space. The first approach reports environmental problems such as deforestation, river pollution, and real estate development without supporting infrastructure of roads and environmental services including sewerage, water supply, and accumulation of waste, but fails to explain why these problems do not deter visitors whose numbers continue to increase. The second approach, by negating the physicality of the environment and relying on subjectivity of environmental discourses, avoids questions about environmental responsibility and management. Both these approaches do not consider how the environment in a sacred site is created. This thesis attempts to explain how the environment in the sacred site of Vrindavan is shaped by socio-economic, religious and political processes that take place within, and outside the site. By adopting a historical-spatial analysis, it shows how the trajectory of environmental change in Vrindavan is shaped by broader patterns of changes in political economy, religious patronage, pilgrimage travel and institutional developments. It examines the changes in the iv pilgrimage landscape of Vrindavan through three phases since its establishment as a pilgrimage site in the 15th century: pre-colonial (15th-19th century), colonial (19th-mid 20th century) and post-colonial (post-1947). It details the ways in which social, economic, political and institutional developments from the precolonial and colonial past are linked to some of the contemporary problems and how these are translated into fragmented institutional responses. The thesis examines the contemporary environment in Vrindavan in relation to the shifts in pilgrimage economy and interactions of various actors and institutions that control and manage it. It shows that the contemporary environment in Vrindavan is a poorly regulated market of religious entrepreneurs, tourism operators and real estate developers driven by the opportunities of religious tourism. The lack of institutions to regulate these activities and the inability to cater to the increased demand for environmental services contribute to the continued degradation of the religious urban space of Vrindavan. This institutional vacuum leads different actors to use contesting attitudes in absolving themselves from their responsibility towards environmental management and articulate discourses that reinforce the idea of environmental degradation in Vrindavan. The study illustrates that claiming the sacred and making the sacred/religious environment are two different things. It argues that understanding and addressing environmental degradation in a sacred environment requires an understanding of how sacred space is produced. It shows that the environment of pilgrimage is a dynamic process shaped by the activities, forms of control, perceptions, and representations of the actors involved in the production of sacred sites. The thesis calls for a comprehensive v spatial approach to address environmental change and sustainability issues in sacred sites by integrating concerns for maintaining the religious significance of the place with the physical transformations in sacred sites.
