Abstract

As a result of the junction of ideals and the contraction of the words "agriculture" and "permanence," Permaculture is a philosophy that consists of a set of design principles for the “permacultural creation of space”. The research aimed to verify how Permaculture occurs and is practiced as an alternative culture - and, in this case, urban - by the organizations and groups present and active in the City of São Paulo. An interactive online map with data from the 38 organizations and groups of Permaculture found in the Municipality was prepared and 6 semi-structured open interviews were conducted. The occurrence of a socio-cultural counterculture phenomenon has been confirmed, based on shared values and traits of cultural identity that converge, strengthen and promote links between actors, public space and ecological practices.
