Abstract

The present work aimed to perform an ergonomic evaluation in the “Blessed by God” housing development, as well as the distribution of public facilities and the beneficiaries' satisfaction with the housing, being an exploratory and therefore qualitative research.The interest in housing research arises from the Ergonomics and Inclusiveness Discipline, offered by the Home Economics Course, where it was possible to verify few demands on comfort assessment for housing units aimed at the popular classes, because housing is a factor of profound impact on health by the length of stay during the day. Even though the right to housing has figured since the 1988 Constitution, and its guarantee implemented by governments through housing policies, the amount is very small given the existing deficit beyond the minimum offered. Using the Ergonomic Work Analysis (AET) tool, information was collected regarding the problems faced by the residents of the Housing through informal conversation, regarding environmental comfort, sizing and accessibility, as well as a bibliographic research in relation to the topics addressed; Then, the functions performed in the environments and the available equipment were identified. Then the analysis of the activity or analysis of the physical environment of the task implied the survey with instruments and specific techniques of the physicaldata of the environment -lighting, noise, temperature, ventilation and distribution of furniture. For analysis, the measurement data were distributed in tables and the dimensions collected to be verified according to the indicated regulation. From these analyzes it was possible to measure all the dynamics and difficulties in this type of housing.
