| Resumo: | The configurations of the spaces frequented by children, the opportunities they offer and the social interactions that take place there influence child development and remain in the memory of adults. On the other hand, social inequality creates gaps in guaranteeing the basic rights of socioeconomically disadvantaged people, making it difficult for them to access many spaces and services. Thus, if understanding children's perception can promote opportunities for incorporating new knowledge into city planning, the question is: What public spaces are frequented/used by children living in areas in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability? Which of these places remain present in your memories (and how)? What characteristics should public spaces located in vulnerable areas have so that children can take advantage of them and convert them into places of well-being, capable of eliciting good memories of the city? The research will be based on Environmental Psychology, and concepts such as environmental perception, appropriation of space, place identity, attachment to place and restorative environments. Assuming that, in general, our cities do not have many places that are suitable for use, reinforce feelings of security and restoration (physical and psychological), and promote positive memories of the city, notably in socioeconomically vulnerable areas, the research hypothesis indicates that, as children in situations of poverty appropriate places that are not conducive to their healthy development, knowing their perceptions and memories can support proposals for equipment aimed at meeting the needs of this population. The thesis approached this reality through a study in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, with the Dom Hélder Câmara Community, located in Praia do Futuro, as its spatial focus. The general objective of the research was to understand the appropriation of this vulnerable area based on the perceptions of children who currently live there and the memories of people who lived there as children, in order to develop indicators to improve the quality of life of this population. The empirical investigation had a qualitative approach, and used multimethods, through questionnaires, emotion maps, wish poems, field diaries, structured and semi-structured interviews. The following participated in the investigation: (i) children currently living in the community; (ii) adults responsible for the participating children and who lived there during their childhood; (iii) technicians/specialists who study or work on the reality of children in poverty in the city. The systematization of emerging issues highlighted the relationship between socio-environmental, economic and political problems inherent to that context, and made it possible to indicate paths to consider in tackling them, with the potential to contribute to public policies in the sector. The importance of not only relying on the resilience of the population is highlighted, but, above all, facilitating children's access to the enjoyment of essential rights, including an environment capable of providing dignity and quality of life for all. |
