SUMMARY:

In contemporary times, stress compromises the quality of life of the population, especially in an urban environment. Submission to conditions of continuous stress interferes with health (physical and mental) and impairs people's productivity, especially affecting those in a more vulnerable situation, such as adolescents. For the restoration of stress and return to psychophysiological balance altered by daily demands, the literature points out the importance of investigating people's relationships with the places where they are, in order to identify environments with restorative potential. This thesis takes as its starting question: in the perception of adolescents from small towns, what kind of environments act to reduce stress and attention fatigue? And, specifically, how do such environments contribute to the psychophysiological restoration of people in this age group? The research hypothesis indicates that: adolescents will show a preference for places that allow contact with nature and with people of the same age group, and that allow the development of non-imposed/controlled activities (contemplation, socialization, sports and leisure) (or little imposed/controlled) by the school or family, whether they happen individually or in groups. The study focuses on the city of Floriano, Piauí and the Federal Institute of Education, and its general objective is to analyze the types of environments considered restorative by adolescents, how these environments are used and if they provide a reduction of stress and attention fatigue according to the perception of the investigated participants. Methodologically, the investigation assumes a quali-quantitative bias and a multi-method strategy, through two studies: the first directed at the person (questionnaires, Perceived Stress Scale and interviews) and the second directed at the environment (field visits, naturalistic observations and photographic record). As partial results, it is noticed that the school routine is considered stressful, despite the perceived stress level being, in general, below the average of the scale used. To alleviate it, restoring their psychophysiological balance, students point to environments within the school, in the city and in their own home.
