Abstract

The objective of this project is to evaluate the physical and functional aspects of a cooperative of recyclable material collectors, through an architectural analysis of the space, of the behavior of the cooperative members and of their working environment. In addition, the research seeks to define architectural, technical and ergonomic parameters for the work space of recyclable material collectors' cooperatives, but also to link the concepts of environmental psychology as a tool to understand the environment. The evaluation proposal focuses on the Ecologically Correct Cooperative, COOPECO, located in Bauru, São Paulo, being inserted in the Post-Occupational Evaluation (POE) procedures and methods that can also be used in future projects, considering, not only the vision of the researcher / researcher, but mainly, the user's view.
