A reabilitação de orlas fluviais degradadas encontra-se em fase de grande prosperidade no Brasil. O estudo de medidas de reabilitação e dos fatores que definem seu sucesso são temas frequentemente debatidos na ciência. No entanto, esse debate está, geralmente, centrado em parâmetros mais facilmente mensuráveis que aderem à objetividade científica, ignorando, muitas vezes, aspectos mais subjetivos como a estética da paisagem ou o valor recreativo que poderiam ser identificados a partir da percepção dos indivíduos. Desta forma, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa é gerar subsídios para a elaboração de projetos de urbanização de orlas fluviais por meio da identificação dos níveis de satisfação e das preferências dos indivíduos em relação aos aspectos de desenho urbano dessas áreas. A estratégia de pesquisa adotada foi um estudo de caso realizado em uma área de orla fluvial degradada localizada no campus do Vale da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul em Porto Alegre-RS. Os métodos de coleta de dados englobam levantamento de arquivo, levantamento físico, observação e questionário com uso de simulações. Os resultados indicam que as preferências dos indivíduos envolvem ambientes com grandes áreas alagadas, mas mantendo uma proporção equilibrada com as áreas secas, margens com aspecto visual mais natural, alta densidade de vegetação arbórea de grande porte, distribuição desta vegetação de forma a criar grandes áreas sombreadas e ensolaradas, maior aceitação de equipamentos de lazer ativo do que passivo, distribuição de vias para automóveis acompanhando o traçado dos cursos d’água e trilhas e ciclovias próximas e distantes da água. / The rehabilitation of degraded waterfronts is in great prosperity phase in Brazil. The study of rehabilitation measures and the factors that determine their success are frequently debated topics in science. However, this debate usually focus on easily measurable parameters that fits the scientific objectivity, often ignoring subjective aspects such as landscape aesthetic or recreational value, that could be identified by the perception of individuals. Thus, the main goal of this research is to provide support for the development of waterfront urbanization plans by identifying the levels of satisfaction and preferences of individuals in relation to urban design aspects of these areas. The research strategy adopted was a case study in a degraded riverfront area located on the Vale campus of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre-RS. Data collection methods include file and physical survey, observation and questionnaire using simulations. The results indicate that the preferences of individuals involve environments with large wetlands, while maintaining a balanced proportion to the dry areas, banks presenting a higher natural appearance, high density of large tree vegetation, vegetation distribution that allows to create large shaded and sunny areas, greater acceptance of active leisure activities than passive, distribution of streets following the route of waterways and trails and bicycle paths near and far from the water.

The process of irregular occupation and use of the beaches is a recurrent feature in several Brazilian beaches. Due to this disordering on urban occupation of the Brazillian coast, as emphasized by Moraes (1999), the Federal Government has been developing actions that aim to put into effect a territorial reorganization, establishing a discipline of land use in these coastal areas. We can see this concern of the Federal Government with coastal management, primarily through the creation of the Law nº 7661/1988 - establishing the National Coastal Management (PNGC) and, in 2001, when the it was created the Integrated Management of the Waterfront Project. It aims to perform an urban and environmental management of Brazil‟s coastline on its 8500 km of length, making the application of general guidelines for disciplining the use and occupation of the coastal territory. On the shoreline of João Pessoa, specifically at the Bessa beach, there was a controversial issue regarding the use and occupation of the land, because the disciplining of the urban land use present in federal and state laws were not respected. Bars and stalls advanced by the Union‟s land in about 20 meters of the area allowed for occupation, neglecting the environmental legislation in the Federal Constitution and in the Municipal Environmental Code. In the Integrated Management Project of João Pessoa, it was planned the retreat of the properties in Jardim Oceania and the removal of the tents at Bessa, that due to legal barriers, were demolished only after financial compensation to the owners of the tents by the city power, however, we emphasize that these owners are the ones who should pay compensation in accordance with existing laws. / O presente trabalho é o resultado de uma pesquisa que se realizou na orla marítima da cidade de João Pessoa-PB, evidenciando a implantação do Projeto de Gestão Integrada da Orla Marítima Projeto Orla na praia do bairro do Bessa e do Jardim Oceania, bairros da zona leste e litoral norte da cidade. O processo de ocupação e uso irregular das praias é uma característica recorrente em várias praias brasileiras. Devido a esse desordenamento da ocupação urbana do litoral do Brasil, como enfatiza Moraes (1999), o Governo Federal vem desenvolvendo ações que têm por objetivo efetivar um reordenamento territorial estabelecendo um disciplinamento do uso do solo nessas áreas litorâneas. Podemos constatar essa preocupação do Governo Federal com a gestão costeira primeiramente através da criação da Lei n° 7.661/1988, que institui o Plano Nacional de Gerenciamento Costeiro (PNGC) e, em 2001, quando surge o Projeto de Gestão Integrada da Orla Marítima Projeto Orla. Ele tem por objetivo realizar a gestão urbana e ambiental da orla marítima do Brasil em seus 8.500 km de extensão realizando a aplicação de diretrizes gerais de disciplinamento de uso e ocupação do território costeiro. Na orla de João Pessoa, especificamente na praia do Bessa, ocorreu uma questão polêmica com relação à ocupação e uso da propriedade da terra urbana porque o disciplinamento do uso do solo contido nas legislações federais e estaduais não foi respeitado. Bares e barracas avançaram no terreno da União em até aproximadamente 20 metros da área permitida para a ocupação, negligenciando a legislação ambiental presente na Constituição Federal, Estadual e no Código do Meio Ambiente Municipal. No Plano de Gestão Integrada da Orla de João Pessoa, estava previsto o recuo dos imóveis no Jardim Oceania e a remoção das barracas no Bessa, que, devido aos entraves judiciais, foram demolidos apenas após indenização da prefeitura aos donos das barracas; contudo, ressaltamos que esses donos é quem deveriam pagar indenização de acordo com as legislações vigentes.

abstract: Canal oriented development (COD) is a placemaking concept that aims to create mixed use developments along canal banks using the image and utility of the waterfront as a natural attraction for social and economic activity. COD has the potential to for landlocked cities, which are lacking a traditional harbor, to pursue waterfront development which has become an important economic development source in the post-industrial city. This dissertation examines how COD as a placemaking technique can and has been used in creating urban development. This topic is analyzed via three separate yet interconnecting papers. The first paper explores the historical notion of canals as an urban economic development tool with particular attention paid to the Erie Canal. The second paper explores the feasibility of what it would take for canal development to occur in the Phoenix region. The third and final paper explores the importance of place in urban design and the success or nonsuccess of COD as a place maker through the examination of three different CODs. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Geography 2013

As transformações sociais decorrentes dos novos arranjos da economia mundial nos últimos quarenta anos têm repercutido enormemente na estrutura espacial das cidades. Em razão disto emergem novos modos de interpretação da realidade territorial da cidade e novas formas de intervenção que passam a considerar, como ponto de partida, a cidade existente. Neste processo assistimos à revalorização do projeto urbano como instrumento de reflexão e intervenção no âmbito de políticas urbanas que atestam a necessidade de assumir ações conjuntas entre o poder público e a iniciativa privada, isto é, de buscar uma aproximação entre o planejamento urbano, o desenho urbano e a economia de mercado. Este novo contexto aponta para a afirmação do projeto como instrumento fundamental da política urbana contemporânea. Dentre as múltiplas perspectivas abertas no âmbito da política urbana contemporânea destacamos, neste trabalho, aquelas que decorrem do processo de revalorização de Áreas Centrais e Frentes Marítimas decadentes ou abandonadas e da percepção do potencial existente nestas áreas no que se refere à possibilidade de recuperação das cidades com vistas à sua (re) inserção na economia global por meio da atividade turística e da atração de negócios e eventos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é situar o recente processo de revalorização do projeto urbano em Fortaleza com foco no recorte espacial da Frente Marítima da Área Central da cidade. Este trabalho procura demonstrar a hipótese de que os projetos recentes para a orla de Fortaleza estão inseridos no contexto dos projetos urbanos contemporâneos e buscam inseri-la no panorama do turismo internacional. Dentre estes destacamos o projeto não executado do Centro Multifuncional de Eventos e Feiras do Ceará, elaborado em 2002. / The social changes derived from the new arrangements of the world economy over the past forty years have reflected greatly in the spatial structure of cities. For this reason we are seeing the emergence of new modes of interpretation of the territorial situation of the city and new forms of intervention which began to consider, as starting point, the existing city. In this process we witness the revaluation of urban design as a thinking and intervervention instrument in the scope of urban policies which attests to the need to assume joint actions between government and private initiative, that is, to an approximation between urban planning, urban design and the market economy. This new situation indicates the assertion that design is the major instrument in contemporary urban policy. Among the many possibilities opened up in contemporary urban policy context we highlighted, in this work, those that derived from the revaluation process of decaying or abandoned Downtown Areas and Waterfronts and from the perception of the existing potential in those areas in regard to the possibility of recovering cities aiming to it\'s (re) integration into the global economy through tourist activity and by attracting businesses and events. The objective of this research is to situate the recent urban design revaluation process in Fortaleza with focus on the spatial cutout named Downtown Waterfront. This work seeks to demonstrate the hypothesis that the recent projects to Fortaleza\'s waterfront are placed in the context of contemporary urban projects and seek to insert it in the international tourism panorama. Among these we highlighted the not executed project of Ceará State\'s Conventions and Exhibitions Multifunctional Center, developed in 2002.

Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa hur den kommunala planeringen hanterar problematiken kring översvämningsrisker i praktiken vid waterfront housing-projekt. Genom att ta utgångspunkt i Granberg, Nyberg & Modhs, (2016) artikel om konkurrens och klimatanpassning i Karlstad, ämnar uppsatsen besvara frågeställningar kring hur klimatanpassning tillämpas i praktiken inom den kommunala planeringen, kopplat till översvämningsrisker vid waterfront housing-projekt. Dessutom undersöks kommunens påverkansmöjligheter när det kommer till att föra in klimatanpassning, kopplat till översvämningsrisken, vid waterfront housing-projekt. För att besvara frågeställningarna har en fallstudie genomförts på Kvarteret Kanoten i Karlstad. Uppsatsen tillämpar en kvalitativ metod i form av innehållsanalys av tillhörande kommunala handlingar för området och kompletteras med två intervjuer med två kommunala tjänstemän som varit delaktiga i planprocessen. Resultatet visar att den kommunala planeringen, med hjälp av tekniska lösningar, försöker förhindra, reducera samt vara beredda på översvämningsrisken. På så sätt översvämningsskyddas området samtidigt som exploatering möjliggörs. Resultatet pekar även på stora påverkansmöjligheter från den kommunala planeringens sida att föra in klimatanpassning. Främst genom den stora kunskap kring översvämningsnivåer och riskscenarion som finns tillgänglig. Det stora antalet exploatörer i området gör även att den kommunala planeringen kan lägga kostnaderna för översvämningsskyddet på de som vill bebygga området, vilket ökar de ekonomiska möjligheterna att få till ett bra skydd. Slutligen identifieras en brist på ett övergripande perspektiv som studerar översvämningshotet som helhet och på så sätt skapar möjligheter att urskilja lösningar som skyddar större områden. Som slutsats bekräftas Granberg, Nyberg & Modhs, (2016) forskningsartikel om att det ekonomiska perspektivet styr klimatanpassningsåtgärder. Klimatanpassning sker inte genom att undvika exploatering av dessa attraktiva områden, utan appliceras snarare när beslut om exploatering tagits. Skydd mot översvämning tillämpas i form av tekniska lösningar, vilket vittnar om en stor tilltro till tekniska lösningar och ekologisk modernisering från den kommunala planeringens sida att hantera problematiken. / The aim of this essay is to illustrate how the municipal planning deal with problems regarding the risk of flooding in practice, specifically in waterfront housing-projects. Taking a starting point in an article of Granberg, Nyberg & Modh (2016) about competitiveness and climate adaption in the city of Karlstad, this essay intends to answer research questions about how climate adaption is implemented practically in municipal planning, linked to the risk of flooding, in waterfront housing-projects. Also, the level of influence from the municipal planning to implement climate adaption measures in waterfront housing-projects is also investigated. To answer the research questions, a case study is applied on Kanoten, a waterfront area in Karlstad, Sweden. The essay applies a qualitative research approach with an analysis of content on related municipal documents and is supplemented with interviews with two municipal officials who were involved in the planning process of the area. The results show that the municipal planning, with the help of technical solutions, tries to handle the problem by preventing, reducing and preparing for the risk of flooding. In that way, the area is protected from flooding and available for exploitation at the same time. As it turns out, the result also indicates great possibilities for the municipal planning to implement climate adaption, mostly thanks to the great amount of knowledge on levels and potential scenarios on flooding that is available. The many developers in the area means that the municipal is able to put the costs of the flooding protection on those who want to exploit the area, making financial support and opportunities for protecting the area from flooding much better. Lastly, a deficiency is identified in terms of a broader perspective when looking at the threat of flooding in the city, a perspective that would be able to find solutions that protect larger areas. As a conclusion, the main findings of Granberg, Nyberg & Modh, (2016), regarding the superiority of the economical perspective that controls climate adaption measures, are confirmed by this essay. Climate adaption is not practiced by avoiding these attractive areas, but rather, it is applied when the decision to exploit the area is taken. Protection against flooding is applied through technical solutions which speaks of a great belief in these measures and ecological modernization from the perspective of the municipal planning to be able to handle the problem.

The paper consists of five steps. The first step is to study and explore theories of order, time image, and meaning of place. A hypothetical equation is proposed which defines a place as having three basic components: time, order and meaning. Special attention is paid to the time image of a place through the thesis. The second step is to organize the theories as a set of systematic design ideas. Twelve design categories are further introduced, which include Rhythm, Season, Celebration, Layer, Future, Sequence, Derelict, Night, Center, Boundary, and Sacred Places. The third step is to generate a set of patterns for the waterfront design under twelve design topics. Pattern is a bridge between principle and design. The conversion of a design idea into a design pattern can be seen as a procedure to test the validity of design ideas. The fourth step is to apply the design patterns to a specific site on the West Vancouver Waterfront. In a sense, the application of the patterns is an experiment, aimed at testing the patterns, hence the whole thesis as a hypothesis. The final step is to review and evaluate the thesis and the project. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate

M.Comm. / The Randburg Waterfront which was built in a residential area in Randburg, officially opened it's doors to the public on the 1st of March 1995. Shortly thereafter complaints and affidavites from unhappy residents started to stream to the management of the Waterfront, Randburg Town Council, as well as police stations and newspapers. Committees were also established by concerned residents to fight their cause. Unfortunately all socio-economic activities of man have both a social and and physical impact on the environment. For this reason, social and environmental impact assessments have become a measuring rod in the twentieth century, whereby the effect of man's socio-economic activities on human beings as well as the environment, can be determined. With the above-mentioned in mind, a study was undertaken in 1995, which was aimed at investigating the positive and/or negative impact of the Randburg Waterfront on the surrounding residential area. The aim of this follow-up study, is to determine the positive and/or negative impact of the Randburg Waterfront on the surrounding residential area, by comparing the results of the 1995 and 1996 data. Questionnaires were used as data gathering method. In 1995, 160 questionnaires were distributed in the testsample area of a 250m radius around the Waterfont, of which 108 (67,5%) were received back. To ensure meaningful comparisons between the data sets of 1995 and 1996, questionnaires, in 1996, were only distributed amongst the 108 residents who responded in 1995. Of these 108 questionnaires, 82 were received back, with a resulting response rate of 75,9%. In chapter 1 of this mini-thesis, background in connection with the Waterfront Development is given. In chapter 2 the potential impacts of the Waterfont on the surrounding residential area are discussed, and the study problem and study methodology are defined. The property on which the Waterfront was developed, as well as the surrounding residential area are dicussed in detail in chapter 3. All information regarding the data gathering process, as well as graphic presentation of the 1995 and 1996 data for visual interpretation, are presented in chapter 4. Chapter 5 entails the analysis of the gathered data, and comparisons are made between the data sets of 1995 and 1996. In closing, a summarised synthesis is given and recommendations are made in chapter 6. The synthesis shows that the Randburg Waterfront, although aesthetically attractive and economically viable to Randburg, has an adverse effect on the surrounding residential area, which has worsened during the past year. The importance of this study is that the results can be used to determine methods whereby the negative impacts of the Waterfront on the surrounding residential area and individuals, can be minimised. Lastly, recommendations are made from an environmental management perspective, in order to mitigate present problems, as well as to prevent potential problems associated with similar development in the future.

This thesis deals with urban design of Svitava river waterfront in Brno Husovice. The main target is to renew a island position and to show future potential built-up area of the island. The proposal focuses on the incorporation water flows into private and public space, multi-functionality, creating new public spaces and giving priority to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
