A rua dá medo! Mapeamento da hostilidade urbana com base em gênero e etnia em bairros da zona sul de João Pessoa, PB

Abstract

This paper discusses how the relationships between physical and social attributes are articulated with the phenomenon of urban hostility, using as spatial reference a set of neighborhoods in the southern zone of João Pessoa, Paraíba. The main objective is to map regions potentially susceptible to classification as hostile, comparing them between the interpretations of different groups. For this, social dichotomies will serve as a basis for the evaluations, articulating the discussion of the experience of the city, as well as the relations with violence and public security based on users' ethnicity and gender expression. In this way, through methods of urban decomposition, it points out physical attributes that the space presents and that may or may not favor hostility. Allied to the morphological diagnosis, there is a phenomenological reading through a questionnaire and counting method for movement patterns. Finally, by applying the Kernel heat density method in Qgis 3.10, it represents the hostility patterns mapped according to the groups evaluated, intersecting gender and ethnicity. Therefore, as results, it brings a cartographic set of hostility, combined with a diagnosis of architectural and urban morphology, besides social issues and city life.
