“…Os espaços livres públicos compreendem áreas de circulação, convívio, lazer e recreação, de preservação e conservação ambiental e de usos específicos (CUSTÓDIO et al, 2011). Áreas verdes urbanas inseridas no contexto dos espaços livres públicos representam um papel central na agenda pública de promoção de cidades sustentáveis (ARCE et al 2014;GAUDERETO et al, 2018), agregando valor à qualidade ambiental (ARCE et al 2014), à saúde humana (CAMPOS; CASTRO, 2017) e à qualidade de vida da população (OPPLIGER et al, 2019). A paradoxal relevância dos espaços verdes urbanos como componente essencial para ampliar a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos enfrenta negligência na gestão dessas áreas pela governança pública (BENCHIMOL et al, 2017;ECKER, 2020).…”

Os espaços verdes urbanos são áreas provedoras de relevantes serviços ecossistêmicos para a sociedade. Dentre esses destacam-se os serviços ecossistêmicos culturais responsáveis pelo fornecimento de recreação, educação e percepção estética e espiritual, possibilitando a ampliação da qualidade de vida dos cidadãos urbanos. Praças e parques urbanos têm sido destacados na literatura como potenciais áreas verdes na oferta desses serviços ecossistêmicos. A governança ambiental dessas áreas verdes urbanas envolve a qualidade desses espaços, e, se for direcionada à promoção de melhores espaços verdes, infraestruturas e equipamentos pode ampliar as funções sociais e ambientais dessas áreas. O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a percepção da população do entorno acerca da qualidade de áreas verdes considerado o potencial intrínseco de oferta de serviços ecossistêmicos. Para tanto, selecionou-se um bairro de Osasco, São Paulo, cidade brasileira que possui várias praças e parques urbanos. As 216 entrevistas com moradores foram analisadas estatisticamente. Os resultados mostram que a população do entorno dessas áreas verdes percebe a importância da qualidade dessas áreas e da sua infraestrutura. Os resultados apontam que praças e parques necessitam de melhorias pelo órgão gestor, embora a população perceba que os parques estão melhor cuidados que as praças. Entende-se que esse mapeamento de percepção das áreas verdes pelos usuários pode representar uma oportunidade para a gestão pública local compreender os anseios da população e permitir que os potenciais serviços ecossistêmicos, principalmente, os culturais possam ser ampliados e desfrutados por um número maior de habitantes do bairro.

“…To meet its basic survival needs, humanity has increasingly explored the resources made available by the environment without even thinking about the consequences of its actions, which in addition to ecological problems, also generate socio-cultural and economic problems (VITOUSEK et al, 1997;OPPLIGER et al, 2019). The environmental changes intensified after the implementation of the capitalist system, mainly after the Industrial Revolution, which caused a continuous and accelerated devastation to the environment, putting at risk the balance of ecosystems and the life of all humanity (SOUSA; HAYASHI, 2013).…”

Environmental perception by the visitors of urban parks in the city of Maringá, Southern region of Brazil

et al. 2021

Urban parks are essential in improving the quality of life of the population in the cities. In this study, we sought to understand the perception of citizens about the importance of urban parks in the city of Maringá-PR, and the environmental aspects that involve their relationship with green areas. The parks analyzed were Parque do Ingá and Parque Municipal Alfredo Werner Nyffeler, both of which are widely frequented by the population. Exploratory field research was used, through the application of questionnaires, which covered questions related to the user’s profile, environmental perception and the structure of the parks. 212 people were interviewed, 106 in each park. The feeling of well-being, as well as the benefits related to physical and mental health, and contact with nature, were the most highly valued attributes. It can be seen that these green areas make the urban environment more pleasant and play a fundamental role in improving the quality of life of the researched public. The subjective perception developed by visitors to green areas in urban centers shows the importance of developing public policies aimed at the implementation, conservation and management of urban parks, with a consequent expansion and improvement of urban sustainability.

The Blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) is a charismatic and easily recognized species. While they are classified as being of “least concern” in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, their populations are declining. In Brazil, the accelerated destruction of one of its key habitats, the Cerrado biome, is a principal cause of their decreasing abundance. As with other species affected by loss of the Cerrado, active conservation measures are required. While usually rare in urban ecosystems, Ara ararauna occurs and breeds in small numbers in the city of Rondonópolis, a medium-sized city located in Mato Grosso, Central-West Region of Brazil. Blue-and-yellow macaw pairs nest in the tops of dead palm trees, but as the macaws are nest-site limited and suitable dead trees are scarce in urban areas, the installation of artificial nest sites in domestic backyards could help that urban population to thrive. To investigate whether local people would be willing to engage with conservation efforts and in particular to support macaw conservation, we surveyed the attitudes of Rondonópolis residents to measure: (1) citizens’ preferences among the bird species that occur in the city; (2) the average area of their yards, and (3) the willingness of residents to: (a) plant fruit trees to attract macaws to their yards and (b) to install artificial nests in their yards. Larger and more colorful birds (Ara ararauna, the Red-and-green macaw Ara chloropterus and Toco Toucan Ramphastos toco) were the bird species most valued across all socio-economic groups, suggesting that the charismatic species would be more likely to be supported by urbanites. Overall, people had good biodiversity knowledge, with respondents being able to identify half of our sample of local bird species, on average, and almost half had seen a nest site. The great majority were willing to plant fruit trees (78%) and provide nest sites (70%) for macaws. This willingness to engage was not affected by socioeconomic differences. These data indicate that a municipal macaw conservation program could be successful in Rondonópolis, and we argue that macaws could be a flagship species which would benefit wider efforts to engage Brazilian urbanites in active engagement with nature.
