Aplicação dos critérios gerais e complementares no processo da classificação do património edificado na província de Inhambane o monumento de Mapatrulhene

Abstract

The Province of Inhambane is one of the places that enjoys a vast built heritage, particularly its capital city, however, it needs greater attention regarding the its legal protection and preservation. Lack of knowledge about cultural meaning and heritage value of the built heritage of the Province of Inhambane, by the community locally and in general, makes this heritage vulnerable to destruction, whether by factors human as well as natural. The present work interprets the general and complementary criteria applicable in the process of the classification of the built heritage of the Province of Inhambane, to benefit from special protection from the State. The study presents the classificatory elements of the Mapatrulhene Monument, which constitutes a collective memory from the meetings promoted by the President Eduardo Mondlane with young people from the Morrumbene District, as a way of civic education. These elements result in the basis of the general and complementary elements and their importance for the preservation and legal protection of the Monument of Mapatrulhene, presented here. The classification of the Mapatrulhene Monument, in turn, will allow it to be recognized nationally due to its value and cultural significance.
