RESUMOA pesquisa apresentada buscou avaliar a qualidade percebida em cenas da paisagem midiática do comércio varejista do centro de Caruaru. A Teoria das Facetas foi adotada no desenho da investigação empírica, que utilizou o Sistema de Classificação Múltiplas para coletar os dados com consumidores e comerciantes locais. A técnica não métrica multidimensional Análise da Estrutura de Similaridade foi escolhida para interpretar os dados, que revelaram a aderência da coerência e da complexidade da paisagem midiática enfocada, para a avaliação da sua qualidade percebida, bem como o consenso das respostas entre os dois diferentes grupos abordados.Palavras chave: qualidade percebida; imagem avaliativa de lugares; Teoria das Facetas. ABSTRACT The research presented aims to evaluate the perceived quality of signscape scenes of retail outlets in the center of Caruaru. Facet Theory was adopted in the design of the empirical research, which used the Multiple Sorting Procedure to collect data from consumers and local traders. A multi-dimensional, non-metric procedure of Similarity Structure Analysis was chosen to interpret the data, which revealed the adherence to coherence and complexity in the evaluation of perceived quality, as shown in the consensus of responses of the two different groups interviewed.Keywords: perceived quality; evaluative image of place; Facet Theory. INTRODUÇÃODe acordo com Villarouco (2011), são muitas as variáveis envolvidas na identificação da adequabilidade de um ambiente construído, o que torna complexa a tarefa de aferir tal adequação. A mesma autora ainda acrescenta que isso demanda esforços de diversas áreas envolvidas no processo de formatação do espaço edificado, incluindo as questões que tratam das sensações e percepções experimentadas pelo usuário na apropriação espacial.

What are the visual attributes of successfully designed urban open spaces that play significant roles in the creation of sustainable livable cities? Public spaces are mostly designed for social interaction and communication. The aesthetic and morphological dimensions of public spaces are among the essential visual and physical characteristics that need to be understood for successful social use. This paper reports on a study that was exploratory and qualitative in nature and sets out to explore the different physical characteristics of designed urban open spaces as being aesthetically and socially important from the users' point of view. By using photo simulation techniques, a set of 24 photographs of urban plazas, squares, and pedestrian malls were used as surrogates for the physical environment. The study identified some salient attributes of designed urban open spaces in order to create sustainable urban planning, with six sub-categories considered to be important. Based on detailed participant responses, a list of the attributes of preferred physical environment to design sustainable urban open space has been developed. The findings can be implemented to create sustainable urban planning as well as to design successful urban plazas, squares, and other public open spaces according to user preferences in the future.

“…Accordingly, many countries began developing and applying new legislations that require solid assessment of environmental aesthetics. Research indicated that the public aesthetic dissatisfaction with their environments is associated with the differences between professionals and the public in their environmental judgments and preferences [Canter 1969;Groat 1982;Groat 1984]. It is also argued that this dissatisfaction is a result of the lack of empirical studies that validate urban design controls [Stamps 1995].…”

“…According to Habe [1989], more than 98% of design controls are on visual properties of buildings. In a study by Groat [1983], she specified space, massing and style as aspects of design strategy according to which architects may fit the new to the old. In another study, Groat [1988] investigated the design attributes of contextual compatibility.…”

Cognitive-Mathematical Approaches for Evaluating Architectural Contextual Fit

et al. 2009

Abstract. The main goal of this study is to apply a scientific quantitative approach to the investigation of contextual fit. This is approached mathematically within the framework of cognitive science and research on categorization and prototypes. Two experiments investigated two leading mathematical-cognitive approaches for explaining people's judgment of contextual fit of a new building with an architectural/urban context: prototype approach and feature frequency approach. The basic concept is that people represent the built environment via architectural prototypes and/or frequencies of encountered architectural features. In the first experiment, a group of twelve participants performed rank order tasks on artificially created architectural patterns, for the purpose of psychological scaling. Perceptual distances among all patterns were mathematically determined. In the second experiment, three groups of architectural patterns were constructed to represent assumed architectural contexts. The prototype of each context was mathematically determined according to prototype cognitive model, and based on the distances calculated in the first experiment. Fifty-six students participated in the main experiment, in which they rank ordered a group of fifteen architectural patterns in terms of contextual fit to each of the three architectural contexts. Participants' rank order data of the fifteen patterns were regressed on both the perceptual distances from prototypes, and numbers of features shared with each architectural context. Results indicated that both prototype and feature frequency approaches significantly accounted for important portions of participants' judgments. However, participants tended to prefer one approach to the other according to context composition. Results have implications for both research on utilizing cognitive-mathematical models in architectural research and on urban design guidelines and control.
