Sepultour: uma proposta de turismo virtual no Cemitério das Irmandades de Jaguarão, RS

Abstract

The research object of this project is the Cemitério das Irmandades, located in Jaguarão, in the extreme south of Rio Grande do Sul, on the border with Rio Branco, Uruguay. The main objective of this project is to develop audiovisual content that reproduces, in a virtual way, the tour of the Cemitério das Irmandades, making the eyes of the community and tourist public aware of the importance of the Cemitério das Irmandades as a place of leisure, culture, art and tourism. The methodology used was the constitution of a theoretical framework, selection of tombs and mausoleums for inclusion in the virtual tour, and collection of photographs and videos from the Cemitério das Irmandades to prepare the material to be made available to the public. The Tour at the Cemetery of the Brotherhoods had been taking place since 2017, but with the pandemic, face-to-face activities were no longer held at the site. This is one of the reasons for this project, the continuity, in a virtual way, of the guided tours that were carried out. Virtual Tourism will be used through achievements such as a recorded tour and will be made available on online platforms, as the main agent of the project, being also offered as a variation to the physical recording, interviews in podcast format and different content posted on certain social networks that the throughout the project will be highlighted.
