Caminhos da infância: análise urbana do entorno escolar em Aracaju/SE

Abstract

This research analyzes the school surroundings in the Coroa do Meio neighborhood, in Aracaju/SE, aiming to understand how urban space can be transformed to meet the needs of early childhood and its community. The study is based on the concept of Child-Friendly Neighborhoods and seeks to understand how urban spaces can be adapted to promote and ensure the right to the city for everyone. Field analyses of urban indicators developed by the Urban95 network were conducted to categorize and assess the school surroundings. The research identifies challenges and opportunities to make urban spaces more accessible, safe, green, inclusive, and playful, fostering an educational city that supports child development. It is understood that a neighborhood designed for early childhood contributes to the overall quality of life for all its residents.
