SUMMARY:

Tourism has played an important role in the spatial dynamics of the coast of the Brazilian Northeast region. As a consequence, there have been significant changes in the space production process, altering the territory and causing profound changes in the places involved. On the one hand, tourism growth in the region has contributed to the local economy of the targeted municipalities, creating jobs, occupation and improving the income of part of the population. At the same time, tourism has caused environmental and socio-spatial impacts, as well as negatively affecting historical and cultural aspects and the way of life of former residents in places that suffer the effects of touristification. A similar phenomenon is taking place in the municipality of Japaratinga, located on the north coast of Alagoas. Public power agents seek to highlight certain aspects of the municipality, in an attempt to attract visitors, communicating a certain way of representing the place. In turn, visitors create an expectation about Japaratinga, before the visit, and develop a perception about the place, based on their visit experience. On the other hand, the resident population, mainly people who have lived in Japaratinga for decades, see the place based on their daily relationship with it over many years. This work raises the following question: To what extent is there convergence in the different ways of perceiving Japaratinga, among these mentioned social agents. The objective of the research is to understand the way in which the tourism agents of Japaratinga and its residents perceive this place on the coast of Alagoas. The study adopts a qualitative approach, which seeks to explore the perception of the Japaratinga place among the social agents identified above and the residents. The methodology includes direct observation in the field, photographic records, analysis of municipal public documents related to local tourism policies, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and consultation with websites and blogs. It is expected with the implementation of the research to understand how the different agents involved perceive Japaratinga, seeking to understand the possible consequences for the local tourist development.
