A conservação in situ do património arqueológico: concepção do parque arqueológico de Chongoene, na província de Gaza, no distrito de Chongoene

Abstract

In this work, the concept of in situ conservation is created for the creation of the Parque Archaeological Site of Chongoene, in the context of cultural sustainability. To this end, we present an exhaustive study of legislation on cultural and natural heritage, or biocultural, with a view to the development of the planning plan for the Archaeological Park of Chongoene. The study carried out shows that the concept of Archaeological Park is not foreseen in the juridical order of the Cultural and Natural Heritage of Mozambique, but it can be replaced by the “Cultural and Natural Monument”, as a category of the Areas of Conservation. This study aims to conceive the Archaeological Park of Chongoene, based on the legislation applicable national and international law, arguing its importance for the use and benefit of local coastal communities in Chongoene.
