RESUMO

Throughout the years, we have been increasingly witnessing innumerable changes and improvement in which concerns civil construction and architecture both in general terms, and in their processes and techniques. However, although such advances have overcome cultural barriers, they do not seem to be surpassing the barriers of sensibility with respect to human comfort. Although a set of laws do exist to conduct and recommend such aspects correctly, what can be seen is a practice opposite to such. This dissertation deals with this subject within a bigger scope through the point of view of architecture and ergonomics, allowing, therefore, an union between these two areas through usual tools in the technical-scientific practice of both. The field study will be undertaken within the social environment of restaturants. Three cases studies will be conducted in restaurants situated in the city of Recife-PE. Each of these possesses some particularities. However, in order to prevent discrepancies on the comparison, these enviroments are similar in the architectural aspects. The objective is to study the behavior, the satisfaction and the security of the users within these environments, through an ergonomic evaluation. It intends to present to the reader with an analysis of a type of constructed environment (restaurants), approaching knowledge on human perception and cognition in the built space, and moreover, methodological aspects from a solid theoretical basis, in which, beyond the ergonomic aspects, cognitive, normative, prescribed, environmental, and accessibility aspects are considered. The dissertation also approaches the issues of spacial appropriation in the restaurants analysed, through the opinion of the users, and analyses such environments in order to explain how some environmental factors can interfere with the life of the users of the space. In order to achieve this purpose, methods for the analysis of the built environment have been used, based on Santos and Fialho (1997) and Moraes &MontâAlvÃo (2000). This stage is concluded with an ergonomic analysis of the built environment and a description of the application of the instruments used. The study is concluded with the presentation of the results obtained through the direct confrontation with the predictions and generated hypotheses, and through the discussion of the most significant results, where positive and negative points during the course of the study are demonstrated, together with reccommendations providing subsidies to future research in this area
