Abstract

In Brazil, there are historic problems in social housing. Roméro and Vianna (2002) point out the need to evaluate the current situation of housing, as well as the satisfaction of its users and any demands. This paper aims to conduct a comparative study of pathological manifestations incidents at various times surveys, on two sets Social Interest Housing facades of built in Pelotas / RS through the Programa de Arrendamento Residencial (PAR). Furthermore, investigate the user’s perception of the deficiencies in order to improve the projects quality and durability, direct to appropriate actions in the existing use phase. The methodology is based on technical inspections through direct observation of the two sets that form the case of study, for the purpose of surveying and registration information through records, photographs and graphic representations. The post-occupation of the structured interview type evaluation method was set to the search results for the user perception. From the current technical survey carried out in residential Solar das Palmeiras and Paraíso it was found that the main pathological manifestations presented were cracks and moisture, and the problems with detachment coating and less representative dirt. A comparative study was carried out between the data collected during the INQUALHIS Project (Quality Indicators Generation of Collective Spaces in Social Housing Enterprises) and the data obtained in the current study. The Residential Solar das Palmeiras had approximately 7.5 times more impact on current research, conducted seven years and eight months later. Residential Paraíso had 111 times more incidences eight years and three months after the first survey, still evident predominance of cracks and moisture problems. In two surveys cracking appears more frequently in west and north facades. Concerning the humidity, the south facade has a higher incidence of problems than all other fronts. The order of relevance demonstrated by users with anomalies regard coincide with the technical survey in Residential Solar das Palmeiras. However, not in Paraíso. Although the majority of respondents consider that the facades are in reasonable condition and good, almost all respondents reported being necessary maintenance work. Complementary methods used post-occupancy evaluation were effective for results obtaining, correlating the observation made by experts and user perception in relation to existing pathological manifestations on the studied housing facades.
