Moradia do estudante universitário

Abstract

From the literature review and case studies, we developed a survey relating to university housing currently offered in the city of Curitiba. With a variety of programs that encourage students to move their cities to attend higher education, there was a large increase in demand for people who, despite going through the process of selection of Universities, are unable to support themselves away from family. The university houses are very common in Europe and the United States, however, in Brazil, there is a culture of constructing buildings specifically for this purpose, so many homes of students are improvised, usually adapted to receive residents. Furthermore, even though there are these houses, there is not sufficient amount of vacancies for students who need an affordable housing with while enrolled in the Higher Education. Specifically analyzing the case of Curitiba, where there is a visible growth of the city towards south-west being occupied by this region of great importance Universities, it is clear that the main university housing in the city are concentrated in the urban center, generating a waste of time and money that could be avoided if there was an option to nearest university housing of Education Institutions concerned. Besides being a gain for students, the construction of a building of this kind is beneficial not only for students but also for the environment, which will become busier, generating greater sense of security for those who transits of the outer boroughs town center.
