Regiões morfológicas: uma leitura bidimensional do plano da área central da cidade de Florianópolis/SC/Brasil

Abstract

The processes of transformation of the territory are directly related to the establishment of the layout of the cities. Thus, studies of urban morphology promote the reading of cities through their physical and spatial characteristics, together with the indication of the actors and the processes responsible for this process. In this way, the morphological regions represent different areas of the city, which possess, at a given moment, physical characteristics related to the form (type of plan, of fabric built), which distinguish them from the surrounding areas. Therefore, the aim of this work is to present the morphological regions identified in the urban structure of Florianópolis, a city located in southern Brazil, in the State of Santa Catarina. From the two - dimensional reading of the city plan, defined by Conzen, the evolutionary process was interpreted, which allowed the identification of the morphological regions, from their original elements and their evolution, during different time periods.
