ARQUITETURA SOCIAL EM ESPAÇOS PÚBLICOS: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NA COMUNIDADE SANTA ISABEL NO BAIRRO SANTA CRUZ EM CARATINGA - MG

Abstract

This course completion work aims to identify public spaces in small communities and the role of the architect and urban planner in the reintegration and valorization of these places. Social architecture plays an essential role in understanding the growth of cities and neighborhoods in order to propose alternatives and projects capable of meeting population demand. The research uses as its object of study an open area at the end of Rua Radialista Nailton Gomes, in the Santa Isabel community, Santa Cruz neighborhood, in the city of Caratinga – MG, where there is a football field and a space capable of promoting greater social interaction and sports practices for residents. The objective is to develop an urban project on land in the present community, taking into account studies of the site and its impacts on society. To this end, the research adopts methods in order to develop the work, where documentary research was carried out in public and private bodies and also field visits to understand the routine and observations of local daily life, mappings and studies based on such procedures. The data obtained through the interpretation of the methodology shows the absence of public policies and professionals in the area of architecture and urbanism for the correct development of the cities and neighborhoods that make it up, in addition to the need of the Santa Isabel community for the creation of a public space that meets the demands of the local population, providing well-being, sporting activities, social interaction and belonging on the part of residents who are part of the city.
