O ponto de vista ergonômico ambiental sobre uma biblioteca universitária: análise do território e a relação dos usuários com o ambiente

Abstract

This article presents ergonomic research carried out in the Biblioteca José de Alencar (José de Alencar Library), located in the building of the Faculdade de Letras - UFRJ, in Cidade Universitária do Rio de Janeiro, in order to evaluate the space situation of the environment and proposing solutions helpful to the users. The analysis was made using the Ergonomic Methodology for the Built Environment, based on collected information about environmental factors, use and disposal of equipment, accessibility, security, and the perception of its users: students and workers. Through the collected information, a questionnaire was elaborated in order to understand the experience of users of the library noting a series of factors that interfere with the full use of the enclosure. For that reason, this article suggests measures that can solve part of the problems identified in the place, with the intention of making the José de Alencar Library more pleasant and comfortable for all its visitors.
