Espaço público e sociabilidade urbana: apropriações e significados dos espaços públicos na cidade contemporânea

Study public space is studying the city and its dynamics through a representation point. The changes that are observed in these spaces and in the relations established there, or with it, are related to changes that occurred in the city as a whole, in the urban way of living. Study public space allied to urban sociability permits an even better focus on this relation between people in these spaces and with the spaces and in the consequences and fragile aspects this relation can impose to people and cities. This work is aimed towards this relation between public space and urban sociability. Through a conceptual/theoretical discussion aims, specifically, comprehend how to establish and what is the relation between urban space and urban sociability (appropriation/perception of place, tendencies of seclusion), from an isolated analysis of each one of these themes in the contemporaneous city. The Brazilian public space has peculiar characteristics, arising from its historical process of construction, also influenced by the public sphere fragile construction that permeates it, as well as more recent variables such as the sensation of insecurity and commodification of these places. The urban sociability influences and is influenced along all this process of significance and reframing of the public space. The conceptual discussion about each isolate variable provides the necessary coverage for discussion and analysis of the relation between them and the consequence of this relation in the city, such as the notation of relevant experiences of this process of revaluation of the public space. The hereby search is not through a path to reestablish the relation as it already existed, but also for an understanding of the dynamic as is established today and for existing possibilities for maintenance and appreciation of the relation between people and the city by believing in its importance to urban life

As organizações culturais e o espaço público: a experiência da Rede Nacional de Teatros e Cineteatros

A presente investigação problematiza a natureza da relação que se estabelece entre as organizações culturais e os seus públicos e verifica se as especificidades das organizações que pertencem à Rede Nacional de Teatros e Cineteatros, lançada em 1999 pelo então Ministro da Cultura, Manuel Maria Carrilho, favorecem a interação no seio da esfera pública. Atendendo a que o indivíduo só adquire consciência de si quando se situa num contexto estruturado pela comunicação, a prática das organizações culturais tem de ser organizada de forma participativa, o que quer dizer que a relação organização/públicos não pode ser de carácter instrumental, mas dialógica, baseada na partilha de expectativas de comportamento intersubjetivamente válidas. Analisando as propostas realizadas por cada uma das organizações, nos três primeiros anos de atividade, foi possível determinar que, dependendo do tipo de envolvimento promovido pela organização, a experiência estética pode ser absorvida pela vida quotidiana. Quando a organização estabelece vínculos duradouros e exigentes, através do acesso, construção e debate do saber, consegue contribuir para a edificação da identidade social e propicia a reflexão sobre as situações do Mundo da Vida.

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

A residência secundária e uso do espaço público no litoral oriental potiguar

Considering that tourism tends to reproduce itself privatizing the areas where it installs, the secondary residence has been an urban element responsible for the private appropriation of the public spaces of coastal of Nísia Floresta. 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. In 2000, foreign investment began to be applied in real state and tourism, producing closed developments, served in leisure infrastructure, trade, and hospitality, mainly to external demands. The methodology included a bibliographic survey, data collection and in lócus observation. Applied questionnaires and interviews were performed with consumers/users of the secondary residences, permanent residents and government, respectively. To the legal grounding, taken as a reference the article. 10, of the law 7.661/88 to establish that the beaches are goods of common use . Considering the conclusive analysis of the research, can be said that the right of free access and use of the beach is committed for the benefit of the consumers/users of secondary residences, due to the negligence and omission of the government

Aplicação de um método ergonômico para avaliação da permanência e atratividade em espaço público aberto: estudo de caso Parque Vitória Régia, Bauru - SP

There are several researches on evaluation of urban public space, but not all establish a relationship between the configuration of spaces with the thermal environment, ergonomics and environmental behavior of users. To understand this relationship, the aim of this paper is to present the model DEPAN (Design for Permanence and Attractiveness in niches open spaces of conviviality), based on graphical meshes, which were designed to evaluate the influence of design and ergonomics of open public spaces in the human thermal comfort and the ways in which users appropriate the space. Its applicability is demonstrated through a case study conducted in a park in the city of Bauru-SP. To perform this evaluation public space niches were chosen. They were formed by morphological elements and street furniture and defined by their spatial arrangements. The collected data were incorporated into a Geographic Information System (GIS), which allowed the overlay of meshes. The results indicate that the DEPAN model allows the verification of the spatial characteristics, thermal quality and ergonomic design generated by spaces, as well as the evaluation of the influence of these aspects in the way of using the spaces. The model allows the generation of a classification for every niche and set a value for the level of service offered.

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

PRODUÇÃO E APROPRIAÇÃO DE ESPAÇO LIVRE PÚBLICO: LAGO IGAPÓ EM LONDRINA-PR

A realidade atual concernente às cidades apresenta, aos pesquisadores, muitas questões, entre as quais algumas parecem-nos relevantes: os processos de urbanização e de produção do espaço urbano e as diversas formas de se apropriar dos espaços públicos. Este trabalho pretende problematizar as inter-relações entre as questões a partir do estudo de caso do Lago Igapó na cidade de Londrina-PR. No estudo aqui proposto, o recorte territorial é o da cidade de Londrina- PR. Desta forma, procurar-se-á colaborar para o debate sobre as articulações entre a produção e apropriação do espaço urbano, particularmente deste espaço público, procurando analisar e compreender o processo de valoração do uso do solo urbano em um espaço público onde se predomina a construção de residências de alto poder aquisitivo. Sendo assim, esta relação de espaço público com o privado, modifica, altera as inúmeras formas de apropriação e usos do espaço estudado? Destarte, pretendemos “olhar” para o papel dos agentes sociais urbanos no processo de reprodução espacial. São pontos nodais da pesquisa: as diversas formas de apropriação do espaço urbano por distintos agentes sociais; e seus diferentes significados para a população Londrinense; o consumo do espaço público e no espaço público do Lago Igapó, a busca de uma melhor “qualidade de vida”.

O CONCEITO DE ESPAÇO PÚBLICO COMO SUPORTE PARA A ANÁLISE DE CIDADES COM PATRIMÔNIO HISTÓRICO-ARQUITETÔNICO PROTEGIDO

O texto que aqui apresentamos refere-se a uma análise feita do conceito de espaço público baseada nas concepções de Hannah Arendt, Jürgen Habermas e Richard Sennett. Tal análise tem por finalidade fornecer um suporte à compreensão das transformações pelas quais vêm passando as cidades parcial ou totalmente tombadas por instituições de proteção ao patrimônio histórico. Recorremos aos autores acima citados por entendermos que eles, mesmo com formações intelectuais distintas, entendem o espaço público como o local da visibilidade e do encontro entre os cidadãos, isto é, da sociabilidade. Assim também o entendemos e, além disso, vemos a sua materialidade como fundamental para o exercício da cidadania. Dessa forma, analisamos a concepção de cada um desses autores buscando pontos de convergência e meios para compreendermos a condição cidadã nas atuais cidades patrimonializadas que convivem com a atividade turística ou que têm nesta sua principal fonte de renda. Portanto, neste artigo, o que se pretende é estabelecer a relação espaço público-patrimônio histórico-turismo a fim de fornecer uma contribuição geográfica à análise das cidades tombadas a partir do diálogo com outros campos científicos.

Poder Judiciário: Espaço Público de integração entre Direito e Política através dos Movimentos Sociais na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro

Os moradores das Ocupações Zumbi dos Palmares e Quilombo das Guerreiras, no centro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, se definem como atores sociais que agem segundo representações adquiridas do contexto histórico-social do modo de produção capitalista de fins do século XX. Sob a ideologia de que a qualidade de vida é ser morador no centro da cidade, atuam ilegalmente a fim de pressionar o Poder Público a efetivar políticas públicas de direito à moradia, positivadas na Constituição Federal. Buscam a legitimação dessas condutas e o reconhecimento de suas ações coletivas e de suas identidades no Poder Judiciário, instituição do Estado democrático de direito que se torna espaço público de discussão entre a esfera privada e a esfera pública, cujos limites se reorganizam na crise na pós-modernidade. Investiga-se se a função de intermediador do poder judiciário refere-se a legitimador dessas discussões ou de efetivo solucionador das demandas que lhe chegam. O trabalho conta com três partes: uma prática, onde são descritos as ocupações e os processos judiciais respectivos; uma parte teórica, onde são apresentadas as categorias de pensamentos utilizados para pensar a realidade apresentada na parte prática; e uma terceira parte, de análise da parte prática à luz da parte teórica, a fim de se observar e testar a hipótese construída.
