RESUMO

It starts from the premise of recognizing the works of various researchers who search for supporting methodology in order to elaborate or evaluate the projects of habitation spaces, where the activities of human beings - users of the space - are the main points of reference. From the presented premise, its intention is to recognize the implications of human activities in the decisions for the spacial solutions adopted for those spaces. It is also intended to identify the ergonomic aspects of the spaces destined to be used as housing, pointing the basic space requirements for the development of the daily activities of the users. The research starts by associating the ergonomic concepts to the living spaces, through a general point of view of studies which influenced the improvement of ergonomic analysis techniques for built spaces. It presents concepts and requirements for the analysis of the tasks and activities of the man and investigates a methodology to identify the activities of one definitive group of users. It presents as parameters the solutions pointed by the research on the concepts of the Universal Project and of specific studies for elderly users and, as an applications reference of this methodology, this research focuses on medical attendance (patient) in the living spaces of the habitation. This process consists in elaborating an ergonomic characterization which stems from the recognition and analysis of the user, of the functions of use and of the activities, the environments and functional spaces of the habitation and of the use of the furniture and necessary equipment.
