O presente trabalho procurou um entendimento sobre a temática actual, acessibilidade
nas cidades. Pretende-se perceber quais os factores que influenciam a acessibilidade, com a
finalidade de projectamos espaços acessíveis a todos. Com incidência na possibilidade de
melhorias da qualidade do espaço público, na perspectiva de devolver a cidade aos peões. O
objectivo passa por perceber de que forma os espaços públicos urbanos podem ser desenhados
com acessibilidade, sociabilidade, conforto, e variedade de usos, a pensar no utilizador porque
é para ele que se destinam. As temáticas abordadas têm como finalidade serem aplicadas e
materializadas num projecto, que vai responder a um programa especifico.
Actualmente a Humanização dos espaços públicos é um tema muito debatido, o
urbanismo contemporâneo tornou a condição Humana fundamental na projecção destes
espaços. Os meios urbanos têm vindo a crescer de forma galopante, visto que a cidade é o
palco de oportunidades e o grande motor económico .
O relacionamento entre o espaço público e o homem passou por um processo evolutivo,
só nos finais do século XX se começou a olhar para o espaço público como um lugar
destinado ás pessoas. Presentemente existe um maior cuidado na criação de espaços
confortáveis, aprazíveis, seguros, acessíveis, para que consigam abranger o maior numero de
utilizadores, incluindo pessoas com necessidades especiais. Os meios urbanos têm muito a
ganhar se conseguirem conquistar todo o tipo de pessoas, independentemente das suas
capacidades, assim têm uma comunidade equilibrada, onde os indivíduos têm possibilidade de
viver em sociedade e relacionar-se com outros.
Após uma melhor compreensão teórica da temática abordada, segue-se a analise do
lugar e posteriormente elaboração do projecto, que tem como finalidade uma regeneração
social e física do local. Com o intuito de ser parte integrante da cidade e possibilite a geração
de novas dinâmicas sociais.
This paper sought an understanding of the current topic, the accessibility in the cities. The aim is to understand what are the factors that influence the accessibility, highlighting the elements taken into the account when we design a space accessible to everyone. Focusing on improving the quality of public space, giving back the city to pedestrians. The goal is to realize how the urban public spaces can be designed with accessibility, sociability, comfort, and giving it a variety of uses keeping the user in mind, because it is intended for him. All the topics are meant to be applied and materialized in a project that will respond to a specific program. The humanization of these public spaces is currently the subject of many debates. Contemporary urbanism has seeked the human condition as an essential issue while projecting the spaces. Cities' growth has been so rampant, since the city is the scene of opportunities and the greatest economic engine. The relationship between public spaces and the people went through an evolutionary process. It was not until late twentieth century that public spaces were seen as meant to people. These days there is a greater concern in creating spaces that can be comfortable, pleasant, safe and accessible. Places who can be prepared for a larger number of users, including those with special needs. The urban areas have much to gain if they can conquer all kinds of people, regardless of their abilities. In a way that one can have a balanced community, where people are able to live in society and relate to other individuals. After a better theoretical understanding of the topic discussed, followed by the analysis of the place and later development of the project, which aims a social and physical regeneration of the place. In order to be an integral part of the city and enable the generation of new social dynamics.
