Parque da imaginação: um experimento de urbanismo com participação cibernética

Abstract

This work seeks to conceive new perspectives for participatory Urban Planning through Cybernetics, driven by digital information and communication technologies, and understood as a potential to experiment with new practices. The cybernetic experiment called 'Parque da Imaginação' was developed, which has as its object of study and analysis the cybernetic participation through the allusion to an Urban Park in the aeroclube area of Sergipe, located in a place that lacks leisure and social spaces in the North Zone of Aracaju. In addition, the land is undergoing a territorial dispute between two actors, where the State took the initiative to commodify the land that benefits real estate speculation and does not privilege collective life. Thus, the research aims to elaborate the participatory experiment in the cybernetic network, analyze how participation in virtual media proceeds and discusses how an urban park in the north zone of Aracaju is imagined and perceived. The work is developed with theoretical studies on participation and cybernetics in Urban Planning, and the experiment is developed as a methodological cycle of action research in digital information and communication networks. As a result, the potential for participation in the virtual sphere, the population's capacity for imagination about the future of the aeroclube, and how new cycles of research-action in cybernetic networks should be conducted.
