Urban greenway trails are emerging as potential tourist attractions in cities and are well recognized for their recreation opportunities in general. The study presented an opportunity to expand the scope of aesthetic response research into the realm of urban greenway trails. The concept of likability (Nasar, 1998) was used as a guiding concept in the study. In order to gather data for the study, a web-based virtual tour was developed and implemented. Treatments were assigned to 6 groups that viewed two urban greenway trail corridors. Each trail had three treatments including the existing trail condition, a manipulated trail condition, and a reverse in direction of the existing trail condition. Analyses were conducted to 1) identify dimensions of aesthetic responses, 2) examine relationships between cognitive evaluation, affective response, trail characteristics, and likability, and 3) evaluate specific greenway trail characteristics and their relationships to the trail experience. Results indicated five aesthetic dimensions of the greenway trail corridors. The cognitive dimensions were maintenance, distinctiveness, and naturalness and the affective dimensions were pleasantness and arousal. Pleasantness and distinctiveness were the strongest predictors of likability in urban greenway trails. In terms of greenway trail characteristics, six of eight specific characteristics had predictive value in relation to how inviting the virtual trail was to the viewer. Finally, several greenway trail characteristics had significant influences on human perception and the likability of trail environments. This study proposed a new way of conceptualizing likability and a model of relationships leading to likability. One of the major implications of this study is to identify a way to improve physical conditions of greenway corridors in urban areas based on aesthetic responses. The study also implied that greenways can encompass natural or man-made features and can be managed and developed as a tourist attraction while providing local opportunities in cities. Aesthetic quality influences perceived quality of life and sense of well-being. Findings of the study can help enhance the aesthetic quality of the greenway trails that can contribute to sustainable development in various tourism and recreation settings.

Como corpus do trabalho utilizamos o texto bíblico “Coríntios”, a canção “Monte Castelo”, de Renato Russo, o soneto “Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver”, de Camões, e o poema concreto “Ferida”, de Augusto de Campos. Além das diferentes estruturas, consideramos a temática do amor e as relações de intertextualidade presentes nos textos. Ao entrevistarmos um grupo de trinta homens e trinta mulheres, procuramos observar o efeito estético na recepção dos textos. Verificamos que houve uma grande preferência pelo texto bíblico e um maior estranhamento em relação ao poema concreto, o que nos fez redefinir o corpus da pesquisa. Utilizamos, desta forma, o poema concreto para analisar os elementos que causaram seu estranhamento pelos leitores. Considerando o texto literário um conector entre o sujeito e a realidade, nosso intuito foi verificar em que medida a percepção dos elementos estéticos aproximou o leitor da função comunicativa do texto ficcional ou nos mostrou o quanto uma leitura escolarizada pode significar uma prática social que, mais do que formar, deforma, transformando leitores reais em simples ledores de textos literários / The aim of this study is to understand the theory of aesthetic response and check its application to literary texts read by different readers. The corpus consists of four texts with different structures: text 1 – THE biblical text “Coríntios”, text 2 - The lyrics of “Monte Castelo”, by Renato Russo, text 3 - the concrete poem “Ferida”, by Augusto de Campos and text 4 - the sonnet “Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver”, by Camões. The selection of texts took into account not only the different text structures but also the love theme and the intertextuality among the texts. We interviewed thirty men and thirty women to check the aesthetic response in the readers' receptions of the texts. The biblical text was the favorite one and the concrete poem was not so appreciated by the readers. These data led us to modify the corpus. So, we focused on the concrete poem in order to analyse elements that triggered the different response from the readers. Considering the communicative role of literary texts, which approach man and reality, we wanted to understand how relevant the esthetic elements are to the communicative role of literary texts as well as to check the relationship between basal reading and social formation, which can form, deform and transform real readers into innocent readers of literary texts

Esta dissertação pretende analisar a construção da narrativa de Crônica da casa assassinada, de Lúcio Cardoso, investigando as cenas pictóricas que se formam por meio do preenchimento dos vazios textuais e da interpretação dos elementos ficcionais que contribuem para que a obra provoque a interação do leitor com sua linguagem poética. Neste sentido, o trabalho deverá se voltar para a observação do processo de formação de imagens, fruto da interação entre a dinâmica movimentação dos ambientes da obra com os conflitos dos personagens, levando-se em consideração a função social desempenhada pela propriedade Chácara dos Meneses. Serão também observados os atributos da narrativa que a caracterizam como estrutura provocadora de variadas possibilidades interpretativas. A análise será realizada à luz da Teoria do efeito estético, de Wolfgang Iser, bem como de outras teorias e críticos que auxiliaram a pesquisa a que me propus realizar. / This paper aims to analyze the narrative construction in Crônica da casa assassinada, by Lucio Cardoso, by investigating the pictorial scenes which are built up by the filling in of textual blanks and the interpretation of those fictional elements which help the novel to bring out a readers interaction with its poetic language. In this sense, the work should be geared to observing of the image-formation process, resulting from the interaction between the dynamic movement of the environments in the narrative, with the characters conflicts, taking into account the social role played by the Chácara dos Meneses property. The narrative attributes which feature the novel as a structure fostering various interpretative possibilities should be observed. The analysis shall be carried out in light of Theory of äesthetic response, by Wolfgang Iser as well as other theories and other critics opinions, which have been instrumental in the research I undertook to carry out
