Acidentes de BanhistasAbstract
No presente trabalho é apresentada a distribuição da ocorrência de acidentes de banho ao longo de três praias do Município de Vila Velha e sua relação com a morfologia da praia e as facilidades oferecidas aos usuários. A pesquisa foi conduzida a partir de extração de informações de imagens livres fornecidas pelo Google Earth, banco de dados dos Guardas vidas sobre os acidentes e levantamento da morfologia de perfis de praia em campo. Os resultados indicaram que as facilidades aos banhistas, tais como proximidade de pontos de ônibus, pontos de vendas de bebidas e alimentos (quiosques) podem ser responsáveis pela maior concentração de banhistas. Consequentemente, a concentração de banhistas apresentou correlação positiva com o maior numero de acidentes, enquanto os fatores morfológicos da praia parecem desempenhar um papel subordinado no número de acidentes nas praias estudadas. Não obstante, a maior frequência de ocorrência de cúspides praias e correntes de retorno associadas, na metade meridional, mais exposta, da área de estudo, pode estar relacionado a um maior número de ocorrências de afogamento.

In this paper the distribution of bathroom accidents along three beaches of Vila Velha city and its relation to the morphology of the beach and amenities offered to users is presented. The survey was conducted from information extracted from free images provided by Google Earth, lifeguard database of accidents and field survey of beach geomorphology. The results suggest that facilities to bathers, such as proximity to bus stops and kiosks seem to be responsible for the largest concentration of bathers. Consequently, concentration of beach goers showed positive correlation with the number of accidents. Therefore, beach morphology seems to represent a subordinate role in the number of accidents of the studied beaches. Nevertheless the higher frequency of occurrence of beach cups and associated rip currents, in the more exposed southern half of the study area may be related to a greater number of drowning occurrences.
Keywords: beach hazard, bathers risk, beach, Vila Velha, Brazil.
