Abstract

The intention of this project is to analyze the symbolic construction of uses and appropriation of sand areas in coastal leisure spaces on the main beaches in Fortaleza, one of the largest and most dynamic metropolises in the Northeast, in order to understand how Sand spaces and sidewalks were produced, ordered and incorporated by the population for sport and leisure purposes. So that it is possible to understand the processes that constitute the form of beaches as we know them today and which we socially agree on as a place for maritime leisure and a necessary substrate for the implementation of practices linked to leisure in Fortaleza, mainly due to broad sporting practices are widespread in society and are gaining more and more relevance, as is the case of beach tennis, a practice widely spread among the middle classes, and which is currently under the spotlight of the media and public policies on the part of the municipal government.
