Abstract(s)
Ao longo dos anos, o tempo de lazer tem vindo a ganhar cada vez mais importância. É nesse tempo livre que o indivíduo, por vontade própria, se dedica a atividades com diferentes finalidades, como o descanso, a diversão, o entretenimento, a formação pessoal ou a participação social voluntária, após o cumprimento das suas responsabilidades profissionais, familiares e sociais. Neste sentido, os espaços públicos urbanos, mais concretamente aqueles que são ao ar livre, desempenham um papel fundamental no lazer, pois permitem que os cidadãos usufruam da cidade através de práticas sociais, momentos de lazer, manifestações culturais e vivências urbanas, contribuindo assim para a melhoria da qualidade de vida e da habitabilidade do meio urbano. Assim, o presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar se os espaços públicos são considerados atrativos e inclusivos para atividades de lazer quando oferecem acessibilidade para todos, diversas opções de uso, ambientes seguros, e infraestruturas, segundo a opinião dos estudantes de licenciatura do Instituto Politécnico de Coimbra. O instrumento utilizado para a recolha dos dados foi o inquérito por questionário e a análise dos dados foi feita com o auxílio do Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Os resultados evidenciaram uma participação ativa dos estudantes em diferentes atividades de lazer, sobretudo aquelas que favorecem a socialização. O estudo também demonstra como os estudantes do IPC utilizam os espaços públicos ao ar livre para lazer, destacando a socialização e apontando melhorias nas infraestruturas que podem orientar políticas locais de maior acessibilidade, segurança e diversidade de uso.
Over the years, leisure time has become increasingly important. It is in this free time that individuals, of their own free will, dedicate themselves to activities with different purposes, such as rest, fun, entertainment, personal training or voluntary social participation, after fulfilling their professional, family and social responsibilities. Public spaces play a fundamental role in this context, as they allow citizens to enjoy the city through social practices, leisure time, cultural events and urban experiences, thus contributing to improving the quality of life and livability of the urban environment. In this sense, urban public spaces, more specifically those that are outdoors, play a fundamental role in leisure, as they allow citizens to enjoy the city through social practices, leisure activities, cultural events and urban experiences, thus contributing to improving the quality of life and habitability of the urban environment. Thus, the present study aims to verify whether public spaces are considered attractive and inclusive for leisure activities when they offer accessibility for all, diverse options for use, safe environments, and infrastructure, according to the opinion of undergraduate students at the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire survey, and data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The results showed active participation by students in different leisure activities, especially those that promote socialization. The study also demonstrates how IPC students use outdoor public spaces for leisure, highlighting socialisation and pointing to improvements in infrastructure that can guide local policies for greater accessibility, safety, and diversity of use.
