Moradia estudantil para universitários com menor renda da Universidade Estadual do Maranhão (UEMA): estudo preliminar

Abstract

The conquest by the space in the labor market is directly linked to the quality of the professional formation of each individual. Although the creation of federal government programs for access to higher education has resulted in increased demand for undergraduate education, the number of institutions is not evenly distributed among the regions of the country, leaving many students without alternatives and, as the only solution, choose to enroll outside their home state or municipality, which eventually leads to the search for housing. Because of insufficient income, many of these young people can not afford the cost of their stay in the new city, student housing plays a key role in enabling students to continue their studies and remain within universities at an affordable cost. The present work consists of discussing and analyzing the guidelines for the development of a preliminary study for the design of a university residence for lower income students of the State University of Maranhão (UEMA). Considering that the student housing offered by the institution no longer has the necessary infrastructure to meet the demand, this study aims to cover part of the current student housing deficit in the capital São Luís. The research takes into account the assumptions of student assistance programs and Importance of its incorporation with the university, the encouragement of social interactions with the use of space, and the applicability of passive solutions to compose an adequate program, such as: the prioritization of accessibility, residents' privacy, adequate dimensioning of environments and Adherence to the principles of bioclimatic and sustainable architecture.
