A urbanidade do Parque Evaldo Cruz à luz da intervisibilidade.

Abstract

Public Free Spaces in Brazil have been through a process of chronic devaluation, resulting from the model of society's life, in which the collective dimension is considered less important than an individual. What we see today, often, are spaces with low urbanity, which ends up repelling the users of these areas, making vitality an attribute more and more scarce. This is the scenario of the Evaldo Cruz Park. The present work consists of a diagnosis of this Park, which resulted from an analysis of its Urbanity made through the crossing of data regarding its Intervisibility and aspects such as behavioral patterns, formal structure, vegetation, among others. The term Urbanity can be understood in two ways, spatial and social. Both refer to the relationship of courtesy or discourtesy exercised between the parts (person - space and person - person). Intervisibility, which consists of the relation of mutual visibility between two or more points, plays an important role in these types of relationships. It is to analyze this correlation that this work is proposed, always having the relation of visibility between the parts of the Park as background, observing also several important aspects. We obtained as results the perception that the spatial structure of the Park and its surroundings directly influence the behavioral patterns and the spatial and social urbanities of the place.
