Uma praça para quem? Análise sintática espacial da Praça Bento Freire de Sousa, em Sousa-PB.

Abstract

The growing demand for Public Free Spaces (ELP) used in cities is a potential. However, the increasing use by motorized vehicles may impact the use and appropriation of these spaces by pedestrians. Sousa is a municipality in the interior of the state of Paraíba that has undergone intense growth in recent years. This accelerated growth, combined with a lack of urban planning, brought negative consequences for the municipality in relation to mobility and road accessibility. This work seeks to analyze and propose guidelines for the problem observed in Praça Bento Freire de Sousa. The product consists of a diagnosis of this Square, which results from accessibility made through the analysis of its spatial syntax, through the creation and manipulation of thematic maps on its morphological and behavio-ral patterns, at different spatial scales.
