AVALIAÇÃO DE UNIDADES DE HABITAÇÃO DO PROGRAMA MCMV, NO SUL CATARINENSE

This work was presented as a prerequisite for approval in the course of specialization, and it was proposed to evaluate the composition of housing units in architectural projects of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida’ Program, built in the region covered by Criciúma/SC, through an evaluation comparing both qualitative and quantitative aspects of form, geometry and functionality, in a sample composed of four projects in the municipalities of Balneário Rincão, Criciúma, Içara and Forquilhinha. The evaluation was based on methodologies appropriate to each case, geometry being analyzed from the perspective of Ching (1999) and Clark & Pause (1997), the form’s relationship by Horton (1932) and Haggett (1965), the form will be given through the evaluation of the performance analysis of the project of March (1970) and the index of compactness of Mascaró (2006). On the other hand the functionality will seek to relate the static and dynamic components defined by Clark & Pause (1997). The study shows that small adjustments in the geometry and shape of the areas of social housing can bring about sensible changes in functionality, guaranteeing habitability and environmental comfort for the PMCMV beneficiaries.
