Avaliação da qualidade dos espaços abertos em conjuntos Habitacionais : Abordagem perceptiva e cognitiva dos elementos morfológicos desses ambientes

Abstract

This research investigates the quality of open spaces in sets housing and aims to evaluate the performance physical and functional of these spaces, in the opinion of users, through the approach perceptual and cognitive aspects of morphological elements of the environment, aiming to increase knowledge and contribute to the development of future projects. To perform this investigation, we chose three sets of Pelotas-RS with different implementations, allowing the analysis of its uniqueness by comparing the case studies. The methods of data collection used in this study are part of used in research on environment and behavior, been highlighted in two steps: (1) file survey and (2) field survey. The latter is subdivided into: physical survey, behavioral observations and questionnaires. It is noteworthy that three dimensions were chosen: (1) aesthetics, (2) use and (3) structure to evaluate the physical and functional performance of open spaces, based on different elements of the form of these environment: (1) lot, (2) building and (3) open space. Were also considered the interests of groups with different age groups: (1) adolescents, (2) young adult (3) adults, to check whether the dimensions investigated have the same assessment for the different goers of environment and investigate the differences between the groups regarding the morphological elements that stand out in assessing the quality of open spaces. Based on the data obtained, it is clear that the perception of quality in these environments is the same among different groups of users in each set, however, elements that affect this assessment is that have different ratings.
