Do abandono ao uso coletivo: anteprojeto paisagístico de área de convívio social em Santa Lúcia, Maceió-AL

Abstract

Due to the growth of cities, the urban landscape, land use, and mobility have been undergoing continuous modifications and adaptations. In the neighborhood of Santa Lúcia, located in the capital city of Maceió, this is no different. The area underwent land subdivision, prioritizing the implementation of roads connecting the neighborhoods of Tabuleiro do Martins, Antares, and Jardim Petrópolis, without considering the steep topography of the slopes near the springs of the Reginaldo stream or the availability of public open spaces, which remain insufficient for the neighborhood's needs.For a healthy society to thrive, it is essential to allocate urban infrastructure that enhances quality of life, sports, and leisure. To develop the preliminary design, research was conducted on the subject, along with spatial analysis of the neighborhood, considering its urban characteristics, to support thecreation of the landscape proposal.This study aims to propose a preliminary landscape project for a square located in a more central area of Santa Lúcia, seeking to integrate social and environmental aspects. The proposal envisions an inclusive space, with special attention to young women, who make up the majority of the local social composition, while preserving existing usage characteristics. Additionally, the square will serve as a place for contemplation and leisure, welcoming both residents and other users, thus strengthening the community’s sense of belonging.
