Resumo

No sul de Portugal, as abóbadas de tijolo são um sistema construído tradicional particular para coberturas, pisos e terraços, usando materiais e técnicas locais, actualmente considerado um exemplo de construção sustentável. Foi aplicado em várias tipologias de construção, desde habitação a edifícios religiosos (igrejas, capelas, mosteiros e conventos), variando entre contextos eruditos e populares.

Os edifícios abobadados carregam valores materiais e imateriais relacionados com o artesanato tradicional, transmissão de conhecimento e práticas religiosas, tendo valor patrimonial e potencial para serem alvo de fruição por parte das populações locais e visitantes, podendo desempenhar um papel importante na regeneração das áreas do interior.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o potencial dos edifícios religiosos abobadados vernáculos para promover um desenvolvimento territorial sustentável potenciado pelo uso de ferramentas digitais no turismo cultural, promovendo a sua compreensão, disseminação e exploração entre o público académico e em geral, bem como reforçar a necessidade da sua posterior recuperação, utilização e reutilização.

Este estudo foi conduzido no âmbito do projeto de investigação “Vaulted South – Casas abobadadas vernáculas no Sul de Portugal”, com foco numa sub-região interior do Sul de Portugal, o Baixo Alentejo, e baseia-se nos dados recolhidos durante o inventário de edifícios abobadados estabelecidos nas regiões de Portel, Moura e Serpa, como casos de estudo piloto. Os dados georreferenciados foram tratados num ambiente SIG para análise estatística e criação  de itinerários temáticos. Os resultados promoveram um conhecimento mais profundo sobre edifícios abobadados e a criação, transferência e discussão do seu potencial conhecimento e valores culturais.
