![BRAZIL_JARAGUA_giselesleal][1] Jaraguá do Sul - Santa Catarina - Brazil 1 - The picture shows a square with urban equipment, known as outdoor gyms, near my residence. You can see the proper floor for physical activity, benches for rest and leisure facilities for both adults and children. 2 - Invisible Information: although this picture was taken on a Saturday with good weather, the square is empty. This is due to various factors, such as lack of trees (the day was very hot), segregation of urban space through extensive walls of a local company (top left corner of the picture), generating insecurity and social-spatial inequality and bad planning on inserting the square in a place where there is no centrality. 3 - With these information it can be proposed the requalification of the urban spaces through the analisys of local conditions, such as flow of people, activities to be developed, climate, centrality, socio-spatial interaction, among others. In the case of the photographed place, these information would be useful to propose better bench placement, public equipment, use of afforestation or even relocating the square to a place where there's better flow and stay of people.
