Anteprojeto urbanístico para o entorno do Lago do Juca Sampaio na cidade de Palmeira dos Índios/AL

Abstract

Macedo (2010) refers to public open spaces as "outdoor living rooms" and emphasizes the interaction they provide as permeable areas. He also refers to urban parks as public spaces that serve for the entertainment of the population, as they are capable of generating strategies that preserve the environment. The city of Palmeira dos Índios is located in the agreste mesoregion of the state of Alagoas and has an estimated population of 71,574 people, according to IBGE data (2022). Despite ongoing efforts to requalify public spaces in the city, no proposal has been developed for Juca Sampaio Lake. Within this premise, the present work aims to develop a preliminary design proposal for an urban park in this space, with the goal of providing better possibilities for the use and appropriation of public open spaces. To achieve this objective, a literature review was conducted on topics such as public open spaces, land use planning, land use and occupation, mobility, among others. In addition, project guidelines were developed to determine the necessary program requirements, taking into account physical and environmental constraints. The guiding principles applied were: to qualify, in order to adapt the space for use; to integrate, through interaction between neighborhoods and pedestrians; and to conserve, with a focus on contemplation and preservation of the lake. This proposal seeks to transform the park into a green oasis in the heart of the Juca Sampaio neighborhood, promoting integration with the surrounding neighborhoods and expanding socioeconomic and cultural development.
