Capitolo o saggio
The aim of this chapter is to address how a sense of security and accessibility is perceived and reproduced in urban parks in the city of Porto Alegre. The theme of public spaces is very relevant to the city, evident from the fact that the “1º Congresso Internacional Dos Espacos Públicos Em Porto Alegre” (The First International Congress for Public Spaces in Porto Alegre) was held there. The capital of the Rio Grande do Sul has eight different urban parks concentrated in the Southern and Central areas: Farroupilha (Redencão), Marinha do Brasil, Mascarenhas de Moraes, Moinhos de Vento (Parcão), Chico Mendes, Maurício Sirotsky Sobrinho (Harmonia), Gabriel Knijinik and Germânia. This emergent and exploratory research is based on a bibliographic study in combination with ethnographic observations and informal talks with park users in October 2016. The chapter focuses its attention on the publicness and urban security of three different parks in the city of Porto Alegre: Farroupilha Park (‘Redencãoì), a more ‘public’ city park where you can find almost all the different sections of the population of Porto Alegre, Moinhos de Vento (‘Parcão’) a traditional public park used mainly by the middle class, and Germânia Park, a new, gated park, managed by a private enterprise.
