Abstract

This work seeks to analyze the urban corpography of women, especially in the urban space of Praia Grande. It also seeks to understand the influence of urbanism upon the occurrence of gender crimes, in addition to bringing urbanistic premises under the light of a gender perspective that collaborate for a safer and more democratic city. In light of that, it was necessary to understand the process responsible for generating gender violence. It was indispensable to comprehend what it means to become a woman in Brazil, given that the changes in the social role of women have been breaking paradigm on a daily basis. In order to do that, social cartography was used as a methodological procedure so that it would be possible to comprehend the dynamic established by women on the field aforementioned. Such a social cartography was made with the collaboration of students from the Architecture and Urbanism School of UEMA, with whom participative and perceptive maps were elaborated.
