Abstract

This study aims to understand the development strategies of the regions of the Coredes Fronteira Noroeste, Fronteira Oeste, and Litoral Norte in Rio Grande do Sul, in light of the dimensions of Territorial Heritage. Based on concepts of development, regional development, territorial development, and territorial heritage, the research adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. The technical procedures include bibliographic research, document analysis, and field observation, and content analysis has enabled the establishment of connections between the dimensions of territorial heritage and the strategies outlined in the Strategic Development Plans of the regions. The results show that the Corede Fronteira Noroeste is effectively promoting sustainable territorial development by aligning its guidelines with the dimensions of territorial heritage. On the other hand, Fronteira Oeste needs to not only formulate strategies and projects but also demonstrate concrete results. This highlights the importance of broader discussions among regional actors regarding the effectiveness of their strategic planning. In the Corede Litoral Norte region, many projects have yet to be implemented or have not shown results that clearly relate to the principles of territorial heritage.

Keywords: territorial development; territorial heritage; strategies; Coredes.
