ABSTRACT

Public space has become an essential component of resilient urban development. Despite the growing recognition of this reality, public space and its functionality amid socio-natural disasters are usually not considered in risk planning and management. The child population, certainly among the most vulnerable, is equally invisible amid mitigation measures and post-catastrophe reconstruction. Thus, this article seeks to advance the understanding of children's perceptions of public space, focusing on the role it could play in resilient urban development. To this end, a comparative approach was used, based on three public spaces located in the hills of the city of Valparaíso, a territory characterised by its vulnerability to urban fires and earthquakes. Using creative, art-based methods to engage children in participatory workshops reveals differences between the three case studies related to public space design processes and institutional actions.

摘要

公共空间已成为弹性城市发展的重要组成部分。尽管人们越来越认识到这一现实，但在风险规划和管理中通常不会考虑公共空间及其在社会自然灾害中的功能。在缓解措施和灾后重建中，儿童人口，当然是最脆弱的群体，同样是无形的。因此，本文旨在加深对儿童对公共空间感知的理解，重点关注它在弹性城市发展中可能发挥的作用。为此，采用了一种比较方法，基于位于瓦尔帕莱索市山丘上的三个公共空间，该地区的特点是易受城市火灾和地震的影响。使用创意，
