COGNITIVE DESIGN APPLIED TO COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM: A SOCIOCONSTRUCTIVIST PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VIRTUAL MUSEUM OF THE CABULA QUILOMBO

Abstract

This work presents the cognitive design for the development of community-based tourism in the old quilombo Cabula, whose diffusion will occur through a virtual museum. It is a proposal of applied research, using the methodology of the Design Based Research (DBR) for the creation of a virtual museum with a socio-constructivist epistemic foundation. The historical context is fundamental to reach this stage of the development of the cognitive design project, and although it is the fundamental historiographical investigation for the process, in this article emphasis is being placed on the aspect of museum modeling and cognitive design to be adopted by the Digital solution, developed from the one that was selected to model from the base of the research in History. The Museum under development must correspond and function from the basis of strategies for elaboration and paths to the socialization of a socio-constructivist design resulting from historical studies. History, Computational Modeling, and cultural studies are therefore united, to give a new format and to develop the diffusion of the routes and possibilities of Base Tourism, contributing to the realization that the management of this modality can only take place Interdisciplinary.
