Parque de nós: uma proposta paisagística no Bairro Tabuleiro do Martins, Maceió-AL

Abstract

The city of Maceió presents so many contrasts, its relief to the population’s socioeconomic indices, which are also reflected in the distribution of the city’s leisure spaces. Through this premise comes the proposal for the implementation of an urban park in the neighborhood of Tabuleiro do Martins, in view of the lack of open spaces in the area, but also for the need to protect the ground permeability threatened by the growing real estate expansion in the place. Maintaining the drainage capacity of the soil in this area is essential, as it presents susceptible risks of flooding, and is responsible for recharging aquifers. The park also aims to promote access to recreation, culture and sport. For this, the following methodological procedures were performed: bibliographic review, site visits, diagnosis, interviews with the local residents and the repertoire study. Thus, the Park’s proposal provides an important urban living space for residents of the northern part of the city, who commonly need to migrate to other parts of the city in search of recreation, democratizing then, leisure and the right to the city.
