Abstract

The quality of places where one lives or passes by is measurable. Values might be added so that empathy of certain places is understood, through subjective or objective parameters. This master's degree dissertation aims to suggest an index that could meet the index of the places recognized and possibly analyzed, to evaluate the development of the environment quality. It aims, therefore, to establish an interaction between the user?s perception and emotional indexes, and the physical indexes related to the environment according to environment comfort. The target demonstrates that the quality of a place depends on subjective and group qualities, related to the human memory. An interaction of the place is proposed, through an index of different user?s comparison and further verification of the histogram quality found. It´s concluded that human perception can affect and modify a place apprehension and consequently interfere in the ability of memorizing the locus, which could affect the concept of quality of the human place.
