Abstract(s)
De acordo com a estimativa da ONU, é previsto que, até 2050, o
número de pessoas com 60 anos ou mais ultrapassará 2 bilhões,
representando mais de 20% da população mundial (ONU, 2023),
traduzindo-se num envelhecimento mundialmente acelerado e
passível de resposta urgente. As respostas ao problema são
abrangentes e interdisciplinares, exigindo medidas económicas e
sociais, planeamento da saúde. O planeamento urbano e de
equipamento especializado, torna-se uma necessidade, tornando
os espaços disponíveis adequados e propícios à utilização de uma
população que apresenta necessidades e constrangimentos
particulares, no que diz respeito à acessibilidade. O projeto
desenvolvido no contexto da presente investigação, propõe o
desenvolvimento de equipamento urbano que vise a promoção da
interação social entre as diferentes gerações, estimulando o
convívio e combatendo o isolamento social, promovendo a
partilha e transmissão de conhecimento entre gerações, visto que
“a interação entre diferentes gerações pode promover a
transmissão de valores, tradições e histórias familiares,
fortalecendo laços familiares e a coesão social.” Lüscher et al.,
2015, 207)
A metodologia aplicada visa criar um projeto cujo público alvo
seja o elemento central da investigação, recorrendo ao mesmo
para a validação das decisões e iterações tomadas, conhecendo e
recolhendo informações sobre as características da população a
ser estudada. Este conhecimento foi possível através da
elaboração de questionários online e avaliação física do objeto. O
objetivo primordial foi definir soluções que garantam as
necessidades requeridas pelo público-alvo, com vista a inserir os diferentes grupos etários nas suas comunidades, contribuindo
para uma sociedade inclusiva, comunicativa, saudável e ativa.
Os conhecimentos adquiridos ao longo do processo de
desenvolvimento contribuem para a área do Design, para a
Educação, saúde mental, conhecimento gereontológico e para o
bem-estar social, bem como para o desenvolvimento futuro do
Design de artefactos que visem introduzir melhorias sociais no
meio urbano.
According to the UN's estimate, it is predicted that by 2050, the number of people aged 60 or older will exceed 2 billion, representing more than 20% of the global population (UN, 2023). This translates into a globally accelerated aging process that requires an urgent response. Solutions to this issue are comprehensive and interdisciplinary, necessitating economic and social measures, as well as healthcare planning. Urban planning and specialized equipment become a necessity, making available spaces suitable and conducive to use by a population that presents particular needs and constraints, especially regarding accessibility. The project developed in the context of this research proposes the development of urban equipment aimed at promoting social interaction between different generations, encouraging socialization and combating social isolation. It fosters the sharing and transmission of knowledge between generations, as “the interaction between different generations can promote the transmission of values, traditions, and family stories, strengthening family bonds and social cohesion” (Lüscher et al., 2015). The applied methodology places the target audience as the central element of the project, involving them in the validation of decisions and iterations made, and gathering information about the characteristics of the population to be studied. This understanding was made possible through the development of online questionnaires and physical evaluation of the object. The primary goal was to define solutions that meet the required needs of the target audience, aiming to integrate different age groups into their communities, contributing to an inclusive, communicative, healthy, and active society. The knowledge gained throughout the development process contributes to the fields of Design, Education, Mental Health, Gerontological Knowledge, and Social Well-being, as well as the future development of Design artifacts aimed at introducing social improvements in the urban environment.
