Acesso em: 24 jun. 2024.2253-9042e- 2444-2445http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/24660This article is the result of a research that had as its goal the analysis of the spatial perception from 401 students attending senior year of high school (third grade of Brazil’s Ensino Médio) concerning urban planning, from their daily spatial practices in the surroundings of six public schools located in Goiânia/Brazil. Different instruments were used on this investigation, such as: questionnaires, intervention lessons, and activities using mental maps and spatial perception. We were able to identify some elements and contexts from these materials that are valued by these subjects while going through a daily commute, insofar as qualifiers or limits of their rights to come and go around the city. As results, we must highlight: 1) low quality of the sidewalk conditions for walking; 2) high rates of insecurity; 3) the pedestrian’s lack of security from traffic; and 4) the lack of afforestation on sidewalks. These data reveal that Goiânia’s urban planning needs to take into consideration the spatial percep-tion of these young scholars so as to provide those individuals with better life quality. Therefore, it is required urban intervention proposals that recognize the subject’s mobility as context to enhancing the city’s humanity and accessibility to all citizens.porAcesso AbertoEnsino de GeografiaEnsino MédioPlanejamento UrbanoPercepção espacialCartografia EscolarGeography teachingHigh schoolUrban planningSpatial perceptionSchool CartographyArtigo
