Resumo(s)
O presente estudo aborda a cidade enquanto processo dinâmico e contínuo de produção
social do espaço, através do uso caminhado. São trabalhadas duas escalas interligadas,
sobrepostas: a produção social da cidade pela prática caminhada, e a cidade
experienciada no acto caminhado, sintetizada na ambiência urbana.
Consideram-se três tipos de aproximação ao problema. O primeiro, o entendimento do
uso caminhado enquanto prática, individual, social, cultural, de produção do plexo
sócio-espacial da cidade. O segundo, um entendimento da dimensão temporal e espacial
do caminhar a cidade e a sua interpretação no contexto sócio-espacial actual. O terceiro,
a compreensão da experiência caminhada sensorial indivíduo-ambiente e a
instrumentalização do conceito de ambiência urbana.
Com base na exploração teórica e com o intuito de racionalizar e operacionalizar o
conceito de ambiência urbana experienciada pelo uso caminhado, constrói-se uma
metodologia de recolha de apreciações da ambiência urbana percepcionada.
Tendo como premissa a atitude perceptiva do caminhante visitante e o valor da prática
lúdica e/ou turística na sociedade contemporânea, previamente abordado, considera-se
como estudo de caso o estudo perceptivo da prática caminhada de visitantes. Como
objecto empírico, analisou-se a ambiência percepcionada num contexto muito particular:
dois percursos no centro histórico de Lisboa alvo de visitas guiadas temáticas.
A experiência caminhada é estudada no âmbito do significado do território acedido e do
turismo cultural, em particular do produto turístico visita guiada caminhada no centro
histórico de Lisboa. Os dados são analisados tendo em consideração o contexto físico e
social da prática e um potencial factor de referência: informação turística de fácil acesso.
As especificidades da experiência, ou seja, o seu propósito, o modo específico de a
concretizar e o significado da mesma, são factores determinantes na partilha de atributos
percepcionados e significados associados.
A aplicação da metodologia proposta permitiu uma análise comparativa, qualitativa e
quantitativa, da apreciação da experiência caminhada de diferentes indivíduos, e uma
descrição, embora de forma simplificada, da ambiência partilhada ao longo de
experiências caminhadas semelhantes.
Conclui-se que esta investigação, pela agregação, clarificação e operacionalização de
conceitos de diferentes origens disciplinares, contribuiu para a valorização do caminhar
enquanto ferramenta de análise e produção da cidade.
This study approaches the city as a dynamic and continuous social production of space through the walking practice. Two interconnected overlapping scales are analysed: the city produced by the social walking practice and the experienced city, the urban ambiance accessed, perceived and built by walking a path. Three approaches were considered: first the walking practice as a personal, social and cultural way of building the urban social plexus. Second the spatial and temporal dimension of walking and its meaning in the present social-spatial context. And third the comprehension of the sensorial walking experience. Having as a premise the perceptive attitude of the walker visitor and the value of the ludic practice on contemporary society, it was studied the perceptive point of view of visitor’s walking practice. As an empirical object the walking activity analysed were two guided walking tours through Lisbon’s historical centre. The method is supported by the theoretical approaches and aims to rationalize and operationalize the urban ambiance concept experienced by the walking practice. This practice is contextualized in terms of meaning given to the territory, Lisbon’s historic centre, and the meaning of the cultural touristic activity, especially the tourist product: guided walking tours. The potential referential factors are taken into account, namely the easily accessed tourist information. The particularities of the experience in terms of activity components or detail, the proper, the way of doing it and its meaning, are determinant in the sharing of the perceptive attributes and connotative meanings. The methodology allowed a quantitative and qualitative comparative appraisal of different individuals walking experience, a description, although simplified, of a shared ambience troughout similar walking experiences. In conclusion, this study, by agregating, clarifying and operacionalizing concepts from different backgrounds, enhanced the value of walking as an analysis and social space producer tool of the city.
