“…This result adds to the effort to shed light on important aspects related to the unequal distribution of public green spaces in cities. The possibility of better connection of the most diverse open spaces and protected areas, with the possibility of reaching expansion goals in line with the parameters suggested for biodiversity conservation and promotion of the quality of urban life, is another relevant factor in this problem that must be observed (Mota et al, 2016). Another result that calls attention is the predominance of male users, only in Macaxeira Park (55.17%), while they are a minority among users of Santana (46.49%) and Jaqueira (47.44%) parks.…”

“…It appears that the conceptual evolution of public parks follows a direction toward the formation of continuous and/or interconnected parks, in which, based on the valorization of these areas, resources are sought for the articulation of different typologies of urban green spaces, something that can recreate nature within cities, signaling a way to prevent the continuous expansion of buildings through more specific guidelines that regulate land use and occupation (Mota et al, 2016).…”

The accelerated process of urbanization of the planet and the significant accumulation of the human population make the existence of green areas in cities more and more necessary. Even so, in developing countries, measuring the cultural benefits generated by these areas is scarce. The insertion of ecosystem services into urban planning is also very infrequent. This work sought to estimate the monetary value of the benefits generated by urban parks in different social contexts in the city of Recife. For this, we used the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), applying 421 questionnaires in three parks located in neighborhoods with different characteristics. We adopted the Bivariate Probit to analyze the dichotomous questions and calculate the willingness to pay (WTP) estimates. The estimated flow of annual benefits in cultural ecosystem services is calculated based on two scenarios of potential beneficiaries who live between 800 m and 4,800 m from the parks. The results showed that the annual WTP varied between R$ 34 and R$ 87. The user characteristics such as age and sex were significant for the model, while the education level was not. Users with higher income had a higher WTP in absolute terms, while in proportional terms, users with lower income had a higher WTP. In this way, the results seem to demonstrate that the cultural ecosystem services provided by urban parks are more important in less favored social contexts. This factor can support more equitable planning in providing these public spaces.

“…Following the de nition proposed by Mota et al (2016), "protected areas" could be de ned as: Conservation Unit for indirect use, aimed at preserving biodiversity without external anthropic interference, according to the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC), and Conservation Unit for sustainable use (or direct), which also promote the conservation of species and others components, allowing recreation and leisure upon the population demand. Sorocaba obtained a lower score on indicator 9, since it consists of only ve (5) Conservation Units.…”

City biodiversity index and the cities-biodiversity relationship: a case study for Sorocaba, SP, Brazil

In order to adopt a strategic model which aims to mitigate the environmental pressures exerted by the process of unbridled urbanization, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), an international agreement that permeates its conservation, the sustainable use of its resources and the equitable sharing of its resources, approved in 2010 the creation of the City Biodiversity Index (CBI), a political-legal instrument that aims to assess its management and progress. Later in 2016, the "Sorocaba: the city of biodiversity" program was launched by Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainability (SEMA), consisting of six speci c objectives and among them, the establishment of criteria for the evaluation of conservation measures through indicators adapted from CBI, in order to propagate the urban ecology and ecosystems importance. Given the above, this study aimed to prove the compatibility between urban centers and biodiversity and to evaluate the environmental management of the city of Sorocaba, located in the interior of the State of São Paulo, through the application of 23 CBI indicators. The sum of the indicators resulted in a value of 57 points out of a total of 92 (61.9%), showing that, although Sorocaba has a relevant biodiversity, the low score of many indicators implies a need for greater mobilization of government spheres and the successive application of the CBI, in order to expand the conservation and environmental management of the city agenda over the years.
