In the field of cultural heritage and territoriality, it is considered necessary to discuss the processes of construction and management of the territory from a transdisciplinary approach, aimed at local development and the valorization of territorial heritage, overcoming the dichotomy between conservation and transformation. Considering the ongoing process of deterritorialization and the advance of the production of urban spaces over rural ones, the research was dedicated to the study of territory as heritage and the concept of urban bioregion, an approach taken by the Italian Territorialist School. In this context, the territorial heritage of the Serra de Ouro Preto/MG was adopted as the object of research due to the identification of a critical limit of occupation in the region, pointed out on four fronts: the buildings constructed on archaeological sites of the mining societies of the 18th and 19th centuries; the buildings in areas of geological risk; the production of residential condominiums; and the advance of mining over open spaces. In addition, as this is a transitional region between the city of Ouro Preto and its countryside, the urban-rural relationship was discussed in relation to bioregional planning. Based on the above, permanence, persistence and loss were established in the Serra's land mass and, in a propositional exercise, these elements were adopted as premises for thinking about the territory under a bioregionalist reading key. To this end, we carried out qualitative and descriptive research based on the methodologies developed by the Italian Territorialist School, which consist, firstly, of establishing the urban bioregion in which the object of study is located, by recognizing its environmental, political, living and economic domains, and, secondly, of representing the identity of the place, through a historical-structural and morphotypological reading of the territory, interpretation and representation of its territorial heritage. The work is based on bibliographical research of a historical, theoretical-conceptual and methodological nature and on documentary research. In this way, it contributes: to discussions about the triad Territorial Heritage - Urban Bioregion - Self-sustainable Local Development; to conceptual methodological experimentation on the urban bioregion; to the application of the methodology of identity representation in a Brazilian context; and to the deepening of knowledge about the Serra de Ouro Preto/MG.
