Ruas com maior sensação de segurança e bem-estar: uma metodologia de análise e intervenção

Abstract

In view of the growing insecurity perceived and experienced by the population of Brazilian cities, as well as the lack of urban invitations, largely resulting from the prioritization of individual motor vehicles over spaces intended for the use of people, this study aims to provide an analysis methodology, called Metodologia de Análise em Camadas (MAC), that is capable of contributing to and supporting future urban interventions that aim to create safer cities that provide greater well-being to their users. For this purpose, it provides a bibliographic review of renowned studies in the field of urbanism, in order to act as a theoretical framework and reference material regarding the strategies raised; it presents the methodology developed, which is theoretical and propositional in nature; and, finally, it conducts a case study on Rua Professor Adilson dos Santos, in São Cristóvão, Sergipe, in order to apply and validate the MAC. The importance of measures that aim to improve the quality of public spaces was noted, as well as the potential that small urban and architectural actions have to positively impact urban life.
