This place is one of the main recreation and leisure areas of the city, formed by six kilometres of waterfront, corresponding to a differentiated area through the coast. This space has beach huts with varied profiles: while some more simple huts persist, great complexes are being developed, building even water parks on the beach area. This study analyses relations between:i) spatial configuration (in geometric and mainly topological terms) based on the Social Logic of Space; ii) edified typology (analysing capacity, landscap treatment and program of the huts); and iii) use and environmental perception of the beach by its frequenters. There are consistent relations between the type of hut and their localization in the urban grid, of which were identified groups with different patterns: segregated (north, central and south) and integrated (north: more integrated. and south: less integrated). Such relations also reflect, in varied patterns of use and environmental perception. In spite of their strong economy, the beach huts find themselves in a fragile legal situation because they occupy the beach area, so that this study may come to assist the decision-making for the future of the region. For a sustainable development of the area by those responsible and managers it is necessary to evaluate the cultural importance of the huts at Praia do Futuro, understanding their occupation and uses. / O objetivo dessa disserta??o ? analisar a import?ncia das barracas da Praia do Futuro para os usu?rios e para a cidade de Fortaleza no Cear? por meio da compreens?o de rela??es entre categorias morfol?gicas no contexto urbano e edil?cio dos estabelecimentos e seus padr?es de uso. O local ? uma das principais ?reas de recrea??o e lazer da cidade, formado por seis quil?metros de orla, que corresponde a uma ?rea especializada ao longo da costa. Neste espa?o existem barracas de praia com perfis variados: enquanto algumas mais simples persistem, grandes complexos v?o se desenvolvendo, chegando a construir parques aqu?ticos em faixa de praia. O estudo entende rela??es entre: i) configura??o do espa?o (em termos geom?tricos e, principalmente topol?gicos) analisado com base na L?gica Social do Espa?o; ii) tipologia edil?cia (an?lise de porte, tratamento paisag?stico e programa das barracas); e iii) uso e percep??o ambiental da praia por seus frequentadores. Verifica-se haver rela??es consistentes entre o tipo da barraca e a sua localiza??o na malha urbana, dos quais foram identificados grupos com diferentes padr?es: segregadas (norte, central e sul) e integradas (norte: mais integradas, e sul: menos integradas). Tais rela??es tamb?m repercutem, em variados padr?es de uso e percep??o ambiental. Apesar da sua for?a econ?mica as barracas se encontram em fr?gil situa??o jur?dica por ocuparem a faixa de praia, de modo que o estudo realizado pode vir a assessorar a tomada de decis?es para o futuro da ?rea. Para o desenvolvimento sustent?vel da ?rea por parte dos respons?veis e gestores ? necess?rio avaliar a import?ncia cultural das barracas da Praia do Futuro, entendendo sua ocupa??o e usos
