Los habitantes de la calle bogotana: una evaluación de la habitabilidad del espacio público desde la percepción de los peatones

Public space is increasingly becoming a matter of interest for designers and planners, because, apart from being the means through which citizens mobilize, it is also the main scenario for developing life in society. For this reason it is considered as an space that needs to be livable. Besides, it is recurrent to find literature that states the importance of assessing the livability of public space from the perception of users. For this reason, this research performs a bibliographic review of the different definitions and components of livability from its physical, phenomenological-functional and user-perception dimensions. Furthermore, it is necessary to carry out an ethnographic approach through interviews performed to users that inhabit the public space of Bogota, Colombia, looking forward to evidence the variables that are important to users when choosing a public space to stay. This allows to compare the definitions and components found in the literature and the results obtained in field interviews from user perception. The implemented methodology led to the identification of variables that are mentioned in the literature such as the existence and availability of places to sit, presence of vegetation, absence of noise, presence of food and drinks vendors, the perception of safety, maintenance and tranquility in the public space, as well as variables that were not found in the literature but were recurrently mentioned in the interviews such as the closeness to origins and destinations. From the development of this study it is possible to evidence the need of expanding the usage of quantitative methodologies and considering perception variables as tools for public space design and planning.
