Sua gradativa perda na relev?ncia econ?mica para outras zonas da cidade veio acompanhada do surgimento de algumas patologias urbanas, usualmente vistas em muitas ?reas centrais nas grandes cidades brasileiras: degrada??o e descaracteriza??o do patrim?nio edificado, im?veis vazios ou subutilizados, esvaziamento do uso residencial, sensa??o de inseguran?a, entre outros. Esta disserta??o apresenta uma an?lise dessa realidade no Centro Antigo de Jo?o Pessoa, zona delimitada pelo per?metro de tombamento rigoroso estipulado pelo IPHAEP ? Instituto do Patrim?nio Hist?rico e Art?stico do Estado da Para?ba. A partir da observa??o da morfologia urbana da cidade, do levantamento de usos e da conserva??o do patrim?nio edificado no per?metro estudado, a disserta??o investigou as poss?veis correla??es entre essas tr?s vari?veis, e diagnosticou, com isso, as incompatibilidades geradoras das patologias ali existentes. O estudo morfol?gico se fundamentou na teoria descritiva conhecida como Sintaxe Espacial, onde se busca observar analogias entre a forma urbana e as rela??es sociais ali existentes, assumindo a proposi??o de que ambas podem ser mutuamente influenciadas. / The city of Jo?o Pessoa (Para?ba, Brazil) underwent urban transformations over the centuries that brought with them a number of consequences for its initial core, which is the study universe of this research. Its gradual loss of economic relevance to other parts of the city was accompanied by the emergence of some urban problems, usually seen in many downtown areas in large Brazilian cities such as degradation and mischaracterization of the built heritage, empty or underutilized buildings, decline of residential use, feeling of insecurity, among others. This paper presents an analysis of this reality in Old Town Jo?o Pessoa, within the historic perimeter set by IPHAEP (Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute of the State of Para?ba). The aim of the thesis was to investigate the possible correlations among these three variables: observation of the city urban morphology, uses and conservation of the built heritage in the studied perimeter, thereby diagnosing the incompatibilities that generate the existing conditions - besides suggesting possible solutions. The morphological study was based on the descriptive theory known as Space Syntax, which seeks to observe analogies between urban form and its existing social relations, assuming the proposition that both can be mutually influenced.
