Abstract

This research was conducted a spatial analysis of the islands which are part of the city of Salvador. Bom Jesus dos Passos Island, Frades Island and Maré Island were studied by means of an approach that sought to establish a relationship between the concepts of space, territory and place. Starting from a design of the space there is a priori in the territory and the place, were raised elements that characterize the formation of the islands. In this way, it was of fundamental importance to know the area studied, its history and the mechanisms that interfered in training the current landscape. It was used as key source of data for the reports of newspapers, which could show the evolution of the vision on the islands, as well as the formation of the area. In the period from 1912 to 2010 many reports have been cataloged by providing a rich material for analysis. On the basis of this knowledge and the collection of data from other sources of documentation and the contact with the object of research, by means of field visits, photographic records, questionnaires and interviews, on-site observation, has been consolidated data to characterize the dimensions that constitute the dynamics of these territories. Within the perspective that the territory is also a place that has a symbolic dimension is subjective, was important in this work to the understanding of the place of the islands. As part of the analysis of the prospects for this locality and the institutional planning were analyzed the Master Plan for Urban Development and the Strategic Plan of Nautical Tourism in the All Saints Bay
