This article deals with the analysis of the production of social housing implemented by the BNH (National Housing Bank), in order to subsidize the future production of social housing. It aims at understanding how the configuration of housing schemes can affect social interaction among dwellers as well as interaction between the housing scheme and its urban context. Methodological proceedings included archives information, physical measurements, observation of behaviour, mental maps with interviews and questionnaires. Following the perceptive approach adopted, user satisfaction and environmental behaviour are employed as indicators of environmental performance and social interaction. Results confirm that the configuration of housing schemes is related with others layout characteristics, for example size and location, and influence the social interaction between residents and its urban context. The results further confirmed that physical characteristics of public open spaces as well as socioeconomic characteristics can affect social interaction. Therefore, it is emphasized the importance of assessing the effects of configuration of housing schemes in order to produce more qualified residential spaces that promote and facilitate social interaction, promoting a sense of belonging and citizenship.
