A tematização do espaço público e a economia criativa local: estudo de caso a partir do "maior São João do mundo", em Campina Grande-PB

The thematization of public space in the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ in Campina Grande - PB stimulates the economy and the local tourism from the transformation of a common public space in a setting that has the traditional June festivals based. To do so, contributes to promotion of existing creative sectors in the city and the design of a new city that is projected from the festivities of São João. In this research we propose to determine the influence of the thematization of public space in the local economy, particularly in creative sectors present in the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ and assess their importance for the development of local creative economy. We chose the case study, from an ethnographic approach, using different research techniques such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews with open questions and the analysis of social representations of respondents. The methodology used is mixed because it involves qualitative and quantitative data. We could notice at the end of this research, the thematization of public space in the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ is the main reference factor for the event, stimulating the local economy and changing the city's image in three levels: political, economic and social. Also realize that the thematization of public space is the key binding factor between the creative sectors as well as between them and the related activities. All these sectors serve as a link between the products and services, creating a harmonic whole that transforms the city's image, stimulates the economy, promotes social inclusion, cultural integration and keeps the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ as a traditional event in the tourist calendar regional and national.

O papel do espaço público na estruturação do tecido urbano. O caso de Tira Chapéu – Cidade da Praia

O presente estudo diz respeito à temática da reabilitação do espaço público urbano, sobretudo nos bairros espontâneos da periferia da cidade da Praia e visa, por um lado, conhecer as estratégias de intervenção no espaço púbico e, por outro, identificar as necessidades do bairro de Tira Chapéu, em matéria de espaço público, bem como a elaboração de uma proposta de intervenção no tecido urbano do referido bairro. Tentamos demonstrar, com este estudo, que a ausência de estratégia de criação e actuação no espaço público urbano potencia a segregação sócio-espacial do território e influi negativamente na qualidade de vida urbana. Uma das consequências do processo de crescimento espontâneo é a degradação urbana e ambiental dos espaços públicos, que se tornam perigosos, poluídos e sem vitalidade, afectando a interacção entre os habitantes da cidade e agravando a qualidade de vida urbana. Na cidade, os problemas ambientais são sentidos directamente pelo cidadão transeunte, designadamente, os da poluição atmosférica e sonora, causada pelo intenso trânsito automóvel; a falta de espaços públicos de qualidade e de zonas de lazer; etc. E, constituindo, a cidade, um pólo de atracção permanente, a questão de se ter espaços públicos de boa qualidade e elevado nível de atractividade, não pode ser descurada, justificando-se, assim, uma intervenção que proteja e valorize os aspectos urbanos e ambientais daquela, de uma forma integrada, no contexto de uma visão estratégica de desenvolvimento sustentado. Deste modo, os espaços públicos urbanos podem desempenhar um papel preponderante na qualidade de vida nas cidades, seja ao nível urbanístico e ambiental, seja ao nível das relações sociais entre os seus habitantes.

Uma cidade para pessoas: funcionalidade, racionalidade e emotividade nas relações mobiliário urbano, espaço público e cidadãos

This research investigates how functionality, rationality, and emotionality applied to urban furniture design contribute to the organization, legibility, and qualification of public spaces, according to different layouts, physical and visual qualities of the urban furniture as well as the quality of urban infrastructure that may influence the uses and appropriation of urban spaces by pedestrians, turning those spaces into socially centripetal or centrifugal places. The work consists of two parts. First refers to a bibliographical review concerning two main issues of the investigation: product design and legibility of public space, defining the conceptual and theoretical bases, linked to methodological strategies aimed at systemic planning and integrated management of urban furniture design and legibility of public spaces (sidewalks), that are necessary to define the existing relationships among the user s interface (pedestrians); product (urban artifacts); built environment (sidewalks). The second part refers to the achievement of empirical approach throughout visual analysis of public spaces and the functional and qualitative evaluation of the existing urban furniture in the central neighborhood of Cidade Alta, Natal, RN, according to the theoretical researched concepts and methodological procedures. The results expose the weaknesses and levels of intensity arising from the relations among public space, urban furniture, and users, revealing the need for theoretical and practical approaches which would help the decision-making in planning, designing and integrating innovative, sustainable, and ethical solutions in order to design attractive public spaces that could provide sociability and citizenship throughout integrated public management, city systemic thinking and urban identity. The suggested guidelines at the end of this research will provide the necessary strategies to design suitable urban furniture systems according to aesthetic and practical urban infrastructure and city context, aiming to ease visual and physical conflicts that may negatively interfere with the appropriation of public spaces by the citizens

The private appropriation of these accesses, for secondary residences, constitute in an issue-problem of the research. The principal goal is to analyze the relationship of the consumers/users of secondary residences with the public space; and, specifically, identify how the government has been acting and manifesting itself about the occupation of the coastal of Nísia Floresta; as also to verify how the secondary residence has been appropriating privately of the public access of the coastal. On account of the scarce literature about secondary residences and the importance of the public access to beaches for the inhabitant, the present work aims to contribute to the discussion of this theme. The secondary residences in Rio Grande do Norte began in the late nineteenth century, becoming more common in the 90s, when the coast south of Natal is appropriated from local vacationers.

De cerca conventual a espaço público: o convento do Beato António como caso de estudo

RESUMO: A cidade de Lisboa acolheu vários conventos e mosteiros que, apesar de actualmente albergarem diversas funções que não a religiosa, persistem na malha urbana da cidade. As antigas cercas conventuais e monásticas que perduraram conservam-se como lugares verdes da cidade. Estas áreas na sua maioria, jardins privados. Contudo, na zona ocidente de Lisboa, duas cercas conventuais são hoje exemplos notáveis de jardins públicos. São os casos da cerca do Convento de Nossa Senhora das Necessidades - hoje o Jardim da Tapada das Necessidades -, e da cerca do Mosteiro de Nossa Senhora da Estrela - hoje o Jardim da Estrela. Este trabalho, com base no estudo do Jardim da Tapada das Necessidades e do Jardim da Estrela, e na essência do jardim português procura estabelecer uma hipótese de intervenção nas cercas de Lisboa. Assim, é proposta a recuperação da cerca conventual do Beato António como espaço de jardim público. Desta forma, este trabalho não só contribui para o conhecimento sobre as cercas conventuais e monásticas de Lisboa, como para a enunciação de uma possível metodologia de intervenção nestes conjuntos; ABSTRACT: The city of Lisbon hosted several convents and monasteries that although currently harboring various functions other than religious, persist in the city. The old convent and monastic fences that lasted are preserved as green places in town. These areas are mostly private gardens. However, in the western part of Lisbon, two conventual fences are outstanding examples of public gardens. This is the case of the Nossa Senhora das Necessidades Convent - now the Jardim das Necessidades - and of the Monastery of Nossa Senhora da Estrela - now the Jardim da Estrela. This paper, based on the study of the Jardim das Necessidades and the Jardim da Estrela, and on the essence of Portuguese gardens, seeks to establish a hypothesis of intervention on the fences of Lisbon. It is therefore proposed to recover the conventual fence of Beato Antonio as a public garden space. Thus, this thesis not only contributes to the knowledge of the Lisbon's conventual and monastic fences, as to the enunciation of a possible intervention methodology in these sets.
