A RUA TAMBÉM É MINHA: Projeto de serviço para potencializar a segurança e o pertencimento feminino nos arredores do DEART/DDGN

Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis presents a discussion on the relationship between women and the streets surrounding the Departments of Arts and Design at UFRN, exploring how these spaces are perceived and used. Based on the experiences of the public and the dynamics of the place, a service was developed to support women who face violence and harassment. The research covers topics such as gender, city and urban mobility, using participatory design tools, proposals for data collection through questionnaires and more immersive approaches, such as a day in the life and shadowing. The methodological process was divided into three phases: exploratory, generative and evaluative, based on the works of Stickdorn and Schneider (2010) and Martin and Hanington (2012). It is a proposed event that strengthens women's belonging and representation, also facilitating access to reporting information. In conjunction, temporary interventions were implemented, such as signs and paintings on the main routes, aiming to raise awareness in the community.. Finally, the work encourages reflection on the role of design in the face of social problems.
