Resumen

A presente pesquisa investiga relações entre a qualidade do espaço urbano e a saúde pública, ou seja, como o espaço urbano pode influenciar a nossa saúde (física ou mental). O seu objetivo desenvolve-se a partir do entendimento da potencialidade de espaços públicos em contato com elementos e paisagens naturais e como estes espaços tornam-se oportunos para o aumento dos índices positivos de saúde pública. Afim de propor diretrizes e estratégias para a melhoria destes espaços, realizou-se o estudo da qualidade dos espaços públicos existentes na frente d’água do rio Capibaribe, no Centro Expandido Continental da cidade do Recife, Brasil. A pesquisa reuniu diagnóstico do território e estudo de estratégias associadas ao conceito norteador, a saúde urbana.

 

The present research investigates relations between the quality of urban space and public health, that is, how urban space can influence our health (physical or mental). Its purpose is to understand the potential of public spaces in contact with natural elements and landscapes and how these spaces become opportune for the increase of positive public health indexes. In order to propose guidelines and strategies for the improvement of these spaces, a study was carried out on the quality of public spaces on the water front of the Capibaribe River, in the Continental Expanded Center of the city of Recife, Brazil. The research gathered a diagnosis of the territory and study of strategies associated to the guiding concept, urban health.
