Abstract

Tourism as a factor for economic and social development, if poorly planned, can be an aggravating inducer of segregation in the uses of the territory. Given this understanding, this work has as main objective to analyze the process of integration or not of tourists in Pipa, Tibau do Sul, through VLOGS, that is, travel records posted on the YouTube platform by the tourists themselves. The tourist itinerary in Pipa is one of the most consolidated in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, almost selfsufficient in tourist services and means of accommodation, restaurants and beaches and forms of leisure. In this sense, the research follows a qualitative approach and is characterized as bibliographic and documentary. Its main methodologies are the analysis of film content (SILVA, 2017), that is, the VLOGS, within the time frame of 2015-2020, and a theoretical discussion about the use of the territory, its configuration and the place lived by the indigenous community, with the main objective of analyzing the process of integration versus segregation of tourists in Pipa, characterizing the district and problematizing the perspectives of integration versus segregation, among the results it was found the diversity of itineraries, however the segregation between tourists and residents was evident.
