    The design of co-participation processes in public spaces in São Paulo as university extension project: The revitalization process of Dom Orione and Major Freire Squares
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2020) Sanches, Débora; Ortiz, Sérgio Ricardo Lessa; CeIED (FCT) - Centro de Estudos Interdisciplinares em Educação e Desenvolvimento
    This work discusses the revitalisation process of Dom Orione Square and Major Freire Square, developed in a university extension project by architecture and urban planning students of Centro Universitário Belas Artes in São Paulo. The Dom Orione project was conducted jointly with Association Novolhar, which provides social inclusion to children and teenagers in need living near the square. Even without a proper playground, the square is used by children all through the week. At weekends a flea market takes place, with local vendors using improvised tents for selling antiquities. To better understand the children’s expectations, the students organised a design and sculpture workshop in which children could express, the changes they wanted in the square in a playful manner. Through the drawings and clay sculptures, the students were able to create a project that met the needs of the local population. In the Major Freire Square, the project was developed in partnership with the NGO "EU RESOLVO", taking also into account the needs of local residents. Due to its proximity to the São Judas subway station, Major Freire Square has a great potential for recreation activities. The students organised meetings with the local population to discuss their needs in order to create a project suited to the locals. It is believed that participatory processes are fundamental for the training of architects and urban planners sensitive to the real-life issues of the city. Consequently, the appropriation of public spaces by the population in general and by children and adolescents in particular, will be better understood and taken into account. In this way, discussing methodologies and development alternatives by participatory projects contributes to future public policies and to the development of responsive public spaces.

    The effect of public places on community resilience. A case study of the role of social and digital tools in the City of Volos (Greece)
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2020) Ruchinskaya, Tatiana; Lalenis, Konstantinos; CeIED (FCT) - Centro de Estudos Interdisciplinares em Educação e Desenvolvimento
    Community resilience provides capacity to speed up recovery from disruptions, minimizes the impact of crises and helps to plan and adapt to long-term urban challenges. Public places are vital structural elements of the urban environment and they are considered useful tools for community resilience if they have physical and social capacities, with inclusiveness as their conceptual basis. This chapter investigates the main resources and activities of community resilience related to urban public places, and explores whether public places are useful tools for risk mitigation, emergency response, recovery and adaptation. A case study in the Greek city of Volos is conducted. The study explores the existing institutional framework and community building for disaster management, it surveys public spaces in Volos, and explores their role in disaster prevention. Furthermore, the case study investigates social risk mitigation practices in public spaces, identifies challenges associated with community resilience and discusses strengths and weaknesses of using digital tools to overcome these challenges. Within this framework, the potential of using Blockchain technology for strengthening community resilience is discussed by elaborating on its features and existing applications.
