Resumo
A problemática da acessibilidade na Costa de Caparica serviu de pretexto para a
pesquisa urbanística e ambiental que esteve na base deste trabalho. O desenvolvimento da
investigação revelou graves erros urbanísticos com consequências prejudiciais para a região e
para o meio ambiente.
O desenvolvimento da orla costeira da Costa de Caparica aconteceu muito rápido sem
um planeamento consciente do lugar onde se intervinha, tendo-se dado sobretudo relevância
aos aspetos económicos e ao interesse turístico que se tem verificado na região.
Outrora um grande areal, as praias da Costa de Caparica foram perdendo
progressivamente terreno para o mar e para as construções que se foram aproximando cada vez
mais deste. As barreiras naturais que impediam o avanço do mar, foram sendo sucessivamente
substituídas por frentes de mar artificializadas que impedem o movimento de sedimentos
causando perturbações e o desequilíbrio do sistema natural.
Para além dos graves problemas de desordenamento do território, a Costa de Caparica
é ocupada sazonalmente por milhares de pessoas que procuram desfrutar das suas praias,
colocando pressão sobre os ecossistemas naturais ao não respeitarem as boas práticas
ambientais.
O equipamento proposto e aqui apresentado, desenvolve-se a partir da interpretação da
área a intervir e das suas fragilidades. Através do seu planeamento tentou-se responder a todas
as questões inquietantes do lugar, tendo como foco principal a preservação do meio ambiente
em harmonia com o desenvolvimento das acessibilidades e promovendo o bem-estar dos
utilizadores da Praia da Nova Praia.

The issue of accessibility in Costa de Caparica served as a pretext for the urban and environmental research that formed the basis of this work. The development of the investigation revealed serious urban errors with harmful consequences for the region and the environment. The development of the Costa de Caparica coastline happened very quickly without conscious planning of the place where intervention was taking place, with emphasis being given above all to economic aspects and the sudden tourist interest that was experienced in the region. Once a large sandy beach, the beaches of Costa de Caparica gradually lost ground to the sea and to the constructions that were getting closer and closer to it. The natural barriers that prevented the advance of the sea were successively replaced by artificialized sea fronts that impede the movement of sediments, causing disturbances and the imbalance of the natural system. In addition to the serious problems of disordering the territory, Costa de Caparica is occupied seasonally by thousands of people who seek to enjoy its beaches, putting pressure on the natural ecosystems by not respecting good environmental practices. The equipment proposed and presented here, develops from the interpretation of the area to be intervened and its weaknesses. Through its planning, an attempt was made to respond to all the disturbing questions of the place, with the main focus being the preservation of the environment in harmony with the development of accessibility, promoting the well-being of the users of Praia da Nova Praia. key words: Preservation | regeneration | Organization | Accessibility | Continuity
