"FORGOTTEN" OPEN SPACES AND "OMITTED" SOCIAL GROUPS

ABSTRACT For many reasons, open spaces remain "forgotten" in the functional dynamics of cities. In this scenario, the main objective of this study is to analyze experiences of the use and appropriation of these places, considering the theoretical references pertinent to facing the problem of their gradual "forgetfulness". In order to do so, the work starts with the interpretation of empirical examples: five Brazilian state capitals in different geographic regions, urban insertions, economic conditions and non-original local functions. The results obtained lead to an understanding of the problems posed in differentiated positions in the urbanized network and to the perception of alternatives to mitigate the social vulnerability of at-risk groups, especially children and adolescents exposed to psychoactive substances. Shared spatial appropriation, with spatialities, temporalities and functionalities related to the sense of collectivity and the discernment of citizenship, offers possibilities so that these individuals do not also remain "left out" and "omitted" in that debate.

摘要 出于诸多缘由，城市开放空间在城市功能运行的动态逻辑中始终处于"被遗忘"的状态。本研究的核心目标为：结合针对其逐渐"被遗忘"问题的相关理论参考，分析此类场所的使用与空间占用经验。为此，本研究首先对实证案例展开解读：选取巴西不同地理区域、城市区位、经济条件且不具备原生本地功能的5个州首府城市。研究所得结果有助于理解城市化网络中不同区位所面临的各类问题，并明晰可用于缓解风险群体（尤其是接触精神活性物质的儿童与青少年）社会脆弱性的可行路径。共享型空间占用结合了与集体意识及公民身份认知相关的空间属性、时间属性与功能属性，可为上述群体提供机会，使其不会在相关讨论中再次陷入"被排斥"与"被忽视"的境地。
