Abstract

In November 2015, the Fundão Dam ruptured in Minas Gerais. In addition to the casualties, entire communities were destroyed, interrupting the access to cultural heritage and important cultural manifestations in the affected territories. This article seeks to measure the cultural losses of the 843 affected families in the municipality of Mariana, based on a survey using the contingent valuation method. The results point to the importance of the cultural manifestations and the spaces of cultural reference, as indicated by the high frequency with which these manifestations and spaces were mentioned by the affected individuals. The reported values of willingness-to-accept (WTA) compensation for the partial or integral loss of access and the manifestations confirm this evidence.
