Abstract
In traditional urban morphology studies, urban fringe belt is a widely recognized type of landscape unit. It has a close relationship to environmental planning due to its ecological potential and, mainly, its articulation with the historical-geographic structure of the city. Urban fringe belts have been confirmed in cities around the world, at all geographic scales, and the practical applications of these studies are being proven, mainly in their relevance in urban planning. Seeking to add new contributions to this theory, this research applied the methodology of the English school in cities with a particular history of occupation in the state of Paraná - Toledo, Guarapuava and São Mateus do Sul - cities with similar origins, but different expansion processes. Based on the urban survey, historical analysis of the phenomena and the morphological process, it is observed that urban fringe belts in these three cities were created during singular morphological periods, leading in scars in the urban tissue throughout the expansion process. However, contrasting characteristics are observed between the cities, in which permanence could be consolidated or sometimes erased, given the combination of different agents in time and space. Finally, the mapping and classification of urban fringe belts led to results that demonstrate the potential for using urban fringe belts as an anthropic structure complementary to the ecological structure.
