RESUMO

The service policy to the people who live on the streets of São Paulo city, effective in 2003, aims to guarantee the installation and maintenance, with quality standard, of a network of public services and programs for such population. The Department of Social Service is responsible for the registration of all unities and the creation of a specific program for the qualification of its own spaces and those of its partners in the urban equipment for these purposes. This paper has evaluated an urban equipment of fellowship to the street population. Its aim was to offer subsidies to future temporary equipment proposals which meet the basic needs of hygiene, health and transitoriness of this population. The method applied was the Post-Occupation Evaluation. The evaluation of Casa de Convivência Projeto Integrarte was done through a spatial and functional analysis, systematic observation, and interviews with employees. It allowed the identification of the building characteristics as a built space and its suitability to its users, in light of the legislation and the interviews done. This kind of evaluation was useful to identify parameters which may guide the service to the basic needs of the street population, including not only the spatial and functional quality of the facilities, so that they become a healthy environment in the constructional, dimensional, thermal, acoustic and ergonomic aspects, as well as in the aspects related to the emotional health of the users, exploring textures, colors and references that be meaningful to the group.
