Abstract(s)
Os transportes públicos democratizaram a mobilidade urbana, servindo a população e turistas dos mais variados estatutos sociais, económicos e culturais. Consequentemente, as estações e paragens destes transportes são pontos de passagem para centenas de pessoas e a necessidade de saber navegar nestes espaços é-lhes comum.
Em Aveiro, existem várias transportadoras em atividade, cada uma com o seu sistema de sinalética. Cabe ao viajante conseguir identificar os diferentes tipos de sinais incoerentes e decifrar as suas informações num ambiente adverso devido à quantidade de barulhos, horários e informações. Desse modo, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo a uniformização dos sinais presentes nos espaços associados a transportes públicos aveirenses de maneira a diminuir o esforço de cada pessoa para identificar e compreender os sinais.
O design de sinalética requer o estudo das necessidades dos utilizadores do espaço para poder transmitir apenas a informação essencial. Para isto foi fulcral uma revisão da literatura para compreender os conceitos das áreas de estudo em questão e estudo de casos para observar os conceitos aplicados na prática. Posteriormente foram feitos testes de julgamento, em que houve a integração da comunidade aveirense, para estabelecer os conteúdos formais dos pictogramas e finalmente uma investigação ativa em que foi desenvolvido o projeto. Assim, foi possível aprofundar conhecimentos e expor dados para o desenvolvimento de projetos semelhantes.
Public transport has democratized urban mobility, serving the population and tourists, from a wide range of social, economic, and cultural statuses. Consequently, the stations and stops of these transports are waypoints for hundreds of people and the need to know how to navigate these spaces is common to them. In Aveiro, there are several carriers in activity, each with its own signage system. It is up to the traveler to identify the different types of incoherent signals and decipher their information in an adverse environment due to the number of noises, schedules, and information. Thus, the present work aims to standardize the signs present in the spaces associated with public transport in Aveiro, to reduce the effort that each person makes to identify and understand the signs. Signage design requires studying the needs of the space’s users to transmit only essential information. For this, a literature review was essential to understand the concepts of the areas of study in question, and case studies to observe the concepts applied in practice. Subsequently, judgment tests were carried out, in which there was the integration of the Aveiro’s community, to establish the formal contents of pictograms, and, finally, an active investigation in which the project was developed. As a result, it was possible to deepen personal knowledge and expose data for the development of similar projects.
