Valoración afectiva de ambientes residenciales y funcionales de alta y baja densidad

Abstract

Título: Valoración afectiva de ambientes residenciales y funcionales de alta y baja densidad. Resumen: El presente trabajo contrasta ambientes residenciales versus funcionales de alta y baja densidad a través de la valoración del agrado y la activación que dichos ambientes elicitan. Así mismo se exploran las relaciones entre estas dimensiones afectivas y una medida de bienestar emocional y rasgos de personalidad. 238 estudiantes universitarios valoraron el nivel de agrado y activación elicitado por una serie de imágenes que representaban ambientes residenciales y funcionales de alta y baja densidad. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que, independientemente de la densidad, los ambientes residenciales generan sentimientos más agradables que los espacios funcionales; no obstante, y en relación con la activación, los sentimientos generados por ambientes residenciales y funcionales, varían en función de la densidad. Se concluye que los ambientes residenciales se constituyen en entornos más adaptativos en términos de bienestar emocional. Palabras clave: Ambiente residencial; ambiente funcional; agrado; activación; densidad.Abstract: This paper contrasts high and low-density residential and functional environments through an assessment of the pleasure and arousal said environments elicit. The relationships between these affective dimensions and a measure of emotional well-being and personality traits are also explored. Two hundred thirty-eight university students assessed the degree of pleasure and arousal elicited by a series of images depicting high and lowdensity residential and functional environments. The findings clearly reveal that residential environments produce more pleasurable feelings than functional spaces, regardless of their density. However, as regards arousal, the feelings produced by residential and functional environments vary on depending on their density. It concludes that residential environments are more adaptable environments in terms of emotional well-being.

Integrated urban regeneration based on an interdisciplinary experience in Lisbon (Regeneración urbana integrada basada en una experiencia interdisciplinar en Lisboa)

“…Urban regeneration in cities of the twenty-first century is one of the main challenges in Europe to improve people’s quality of life (European Union (EU), 2015), and numerous studies and political strategies for building renovation have focused on tackling this issue (Ministerio de Fomento, 2014; Roberts, Sykes, & Granger, 2016). In the twenty-first century, the phenomenon of population ageing is occurring all around the world, accentuated particularly in Europe (World Health Organization, 2015), which in turn coincides with the need to renovate residential buildings, constructed mainly in the twentieth century, which have progressively deteriorated and lost the features and attributes with which they were designed (Tomás, Amérigo, & Aragonés, 2016). In light of such circumstances, the concept of integrated urban regeneration has emerged in numerous studies and policies (Ministerio de Fomento, 2014), defined by Martín-Consuegra, Alonso, and Frutos (2015) as a process of regeneration that involves making a series of modifications to the current city with a view to keeping a series of problems in check through the transversal integration of environmental, social and economic disciplines.…”
