Flexibilidade e habitabilidade na Habitação de Interesse Social Unifamiliar em Erechim/RS no período do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida

Abstract

The rigidity of architectural projects executed for social housing demonstrates a standardization that seeks to meet mainly economic requirements. Flexible housing emerges as an alternative to meet the possible and future needs of its users, and the house must be allowed modifications, either at the time of construction, or throughout its use. As modifications of the planned mode are proposed, the habitability and functionality of the space do not lose meaning in relation to what was previously designed. Following the launch of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program in 2009, the demand for HIS was resolved following business rationality, in a quantitative and non-qualitative manner and, mainly, continued to reproduce models without flexibility, where changes are difficult. The proposal of flexible and evolutionary housing contributes to this discussion about the new family dynamics, because in this way the house can adapt to later changes in the various stages of the family cycle, meeting the diverse needs of users and the economic progress of these families. The habitability of space also comes into discussion, as there is no flexibility without being present the minimum housing conditions that is attributed through the concept of habitability. Considering these assumptions, this study aims to evaluate the quality of production of Social Interest Housing in the municipality of Erechim, executed through the MCMV Program, intended for families with monthly income of 0 to 3 minimum wages, considering flexibility and habitability criteria. The sets studied in this research are characterized by single family homes, totaling 224 houses. The study will be conducted through a case study and conducted through a Post Occupation Assessment considering the technical assessment of the built environment and the perception of users. The research evidenced the quality of HIS projects in Erechim, from the survey it was possible to identify the existing demands as well as launch strategies to qualify the housing regarding the attributes of flexibility and habitability.
