Abstract

The present work believes that interventions on the seafront - a relatively recent phenomenon - appears as an opportunity for coastal cities to see these processes not only as a form of physical recomposition, but also functional regeneration, sustainable development and, above all, as a way to take advantage, in the best possible way, of the potential of public space and social function of the maritime borders. This work seeks through the elaboration of a Proposal for Requalification for the stretch of Praia da Avenida, located in the municipality of Ilhéus in Bahia, to add to the discussions about this theme. Based on this objective, the work was divided into four main stages: the first one consists of a bibliographical review about the theme, a definition of the cut, as well as the presentation of the theoretical and of projects references that will serve as the basis for the proposal’s conception; the second step is the methodology used in the work, as well as the characterization and diagnosis of the object of study - Praia da Avenida - for which on-site research, map production and analysis were carried out; and finally, in the last stage, the result is presented, which consists in the proposition of a space that is concerned with the human dimension and that sought through the created physical space, to re-approximate the population of the sea, returning to the coastal landscape the realsymbolic and identity value . Reconnecting people to the place, the urban margin, to the seaside.
