摘要：Although several factors point to their current abandonment, public squares influence the quality of life in cities, contributing to urban microclimate and restoring people physical/mental equilibrium. This article presents two (independents) studies based on literature from Environmental Psychology and performed at the Kalina Maia Square (Natal/RN) in order to understand its use: one studied leisure activities; another, the socialization of elderly. In each study, field diary, interviews and behavioral observation (mapping or naturalistic) were used. The results revealed the use sectorization, showing, during the day, the presence of elderly, adults, teenagers and children that carry out several activities, especially sports – that predominate in ATI (where elderly area concentrated). We noted that if conditions are provided to support people leisure activities, public squares can still be urban oasis, promoting leisure and socialization. These findings can contribute to propose programs that encourage the use of these places and have influence in their design.
