No. of bitstreams: 1 Rômulo do Amaral Russi.pdf: 3035881 bytes, checksum: 440fcf568f8fccbb904b4f95fe0e2d56 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-06-26 / The parklet, the focus of this dissertation, is considered a medium-sized urban furniture composed of small urban equipment. It can be designed and made, not only with reforestation or recycled woods; But also with iron, wire, resistant plastics and recycled, and these are reused after being discarded. This work has the general objective to investigate how Sustainability is being inserted in the teaching-learning course of Architecture and Urbanism with the development of ephemeral furniture. To achieve this goal, a qualitative research will be developed, through a Case Study carried out in the Architecture and Urbanism with the development of ephemeral furniture. For its development, will also be conducted Documentary Research, Direct Observation and Participant, as well as semi-structured interviews in which information will be obtained from the coordinators, teachers and students of the University course. The research pointed out the importance of the students of the Architecture and Urbanism course in thinking about the elaboration, confection and donation of sustainable furniture, providing the social interaction within the mentioned institution. The last part was applied to the students directly responsible for the elaboration of the ephemeral furniture, and, through the results indicated, it is possible to verify that 80% agree with the insertion of Sustainability within the Object Design discipline, and 88% with the professional awareness. This identification points out that, of the 30 students interviewed, 24 of them emphasize the importance of these furniture for the social life in the institution. 60% of the six teachers involved and interviewed in the course partially agree on the students' awareness of Sustainability in being a factor of great importance to think about Sustainability within the profession and that 100% of those responsible for accompanying the students were receptive Urban furniture inside the institution. / O parklet, foco desta dissertação, é considerado um mobiliário urbano de médio porte composto por equipamentos urbanos de pequeno porte. Pode ser projetado e confeccionado, não somente com madeiras de reflorestamento ou recicladas; mas, também com ferros, aramados, plásticos resistentes e reciclados, sendo estes reutilizados após serem descartados. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar como está sendo inserida a Sustentabilidade no ensino-aprendizagem do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo com o desenvolvimento dos Mobiliários efêmeros. Para atingir a este objetivo, será desenvolvida pesquisa com qualitativa, por meio de um Estudo de Caso realizado no curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo de uma universidade privada paulista. Para seu desenvolvimento, foi realizada Pesquisa Documental, Observação Direta e Participante, bem como entrevistas semi-estruturadas, em que foram obtidas informações junto aos coordenadores, docentes e discentes da referida Universidade. A pesquisa apontou a importância dos alunos do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo em pensar na elaboração, confecção e doação dos mobiliários urbanos (parklets), proporcionando a interação social dentro da instituição citada. A última parte foi aplicada aos alunos diretamente responsáveis pela elaboração dos referidos mobiliários, e, por meio dos resultados apontados, é possível verificar que 80% concordam com a inserção da Sustentabilidade dentro da disciplina de Desenho do Objeto, e 88% na conscientização profissional. Esta identificação aponta que, dos 30 alunos entrevistados, 24 destes destacam a importância desses mobiliários para o convívio social na instituição. 60% dos seis professores envolvidos e entrevistados na disciplina concordam parcialmente quanto a conscientização da Sustentabilidade por parte dos alunos em ser um fator de grande importância o pensar na Sustentabilidade dentro da profissão e que 100% dos responsáveis pelo acompanhamento junto aos alunos, obtiveram receptividade destes no desenvolvimento dos mobiliários urbanos inseridos nos interiores da instituição.

Faced with population increases but stagnant capital improvements and impacts from global warming, cities around the world are experimenting with smaller-scale and cheaper strategies in order to accommodate the new influx of residents. New York City has led the way in converting low-efficiency intersection space into public plazas with a limited range of permanently installed elements and San Francisco has pioneered the concept of the parklet, which converts two to four street parking spaces into a modular and flexible pedestrian space. I seek to answer two questions about these spaces: What are common factors influencing the viability and successful implementation of parklets and public plaza? And what are the social and environmental outcomes of constructing parklets and public plazas at a site-specific level and across larger urban scales? Previous research has examined the dynamics and components of public spaces in cities. This research builds upon previous research efforts. By answering these questions, cities and communities seeking to create more pedestrian-friendly and human-oriented space have insights into the components that make parklets and public plazas work and what impacts these developments can have throughout their built environment. I conducted theoretical research of scholarly works concerning urban ecology, resilience, and the social components of cities, and conducted structured observations of plazas and parklets and appropriate control sites in New York City and San Francisco. At a site-specific scale, these developments promote a diverse range of uses and can serve as localized nodes. Across larger scales, these developments can use design considerations to change the perception of an area or neighborhood and have the potential to create a linked system that provides widespread circulatory and ecological improvements. Creating programs that facilitate parklet installations and plaza conversions give cities and communities the most bang for their buck because they provide flexible spaces that do not involve major and expensive capital improvements. Parklets and public plazas are viable projects for providing green space and promoting pedestrian circulation within neighborhoods and communities.
