ABSTRACT
The increase in urban rehabilitation in the last decade has contributed to a greater public awareness of the need to disseminate the knowledge produced in academy to professional practice. The purpose of this study was to recognize the main problems and opportunities that stakeholders experience in the context of professional practice and identify obstacles to the application of good practices. A participatory methodology was used, focused on the experience of multiple actors in the rehabilitation processes. The results show that the main problems identified are related to the lack of information, the economic constraints, the social perception and the qualification of the stakeholders. Decision making is a key moment in the process and the weight of the economic factor in decisions is considered excessive by professionals. For good rehabilitation practices to be applied effectively it is necessary to improve the dissemination of knowledge to professional practice, developing new tools to support multi-criteria decision making.
