Morar em hotel: ambientes de unidades compactas e a vivência dos hóspedes de longa estada em hotel

Abstract

This dissertation approaches living in a hotel as a 21st-century modality. As it suggests, the reasons why there was a demand for this type of housing are the enterprise's facilities: rental, security, location, and convenience. This work investigates the physical-spatial structure, and it aims to identify significant aspects of the experience of long-stay hotel guests. The research methodology has an empirical approach of an exploratory nature and analyzes that follow two aspects: 1. physicalspatial environment and 2. sociocultural environment. Two case studies were listed, between 2000 and 2010, in the city of Juiz de Fora, MG, with hotel types. The results indicate that there are impacts on the sociocultural environment due to the structure of the physical-spatial environment. The dissertation has as its epistemological limit the person-environment relationship for hotel environments. In its considerations, it will note the existence of housing in hotels and that the production of the architectural-urban spatiality of the built environment - which is the physical-spatial elements such as places, their environmental arrangements, and ambience - can shape behaviors and lifestyles, as indicated by the literature on social and person-environment relationships.
