Abstract

Public free spaces in housing complexes are essential for everyday urban life, despite being neglected in most projects. It is in these spaces that residents share the local culture, build bonds and express themselves. It is through these physical, psychological and sensory experiences that Tuan considers these spaces "places", that is, the lived spaces gain meanings and affections through the experiences that city dwellers have in open public spaces. The objective of this study is to identify, analyze and relate the manifestations and uses that make up people's experiences in public open spaces for leisure in the João Domingos Netto housing complex in Presidente Prudente/SP. For this, the case study is adopted as a methodological procedure, in order to understand the phenomena and relationships that residents establish with public open space in a given context. Cartographies of forces and affections will be used to graphically express such relationships, and synthesize the analyzes and relationships of experiences in open public spaces. This material will be correlated with the physical-spatial reading of the area to obtain the results.
