Estimation of the economic value of urban parks in Brazil, the case of the City of Passo Fundo

Urban Cemeteries in Southern Brazil: An Analysis of Planimetric Variations, Vegetation Indices and Temperature

“…However, the surroundings of these two cemeteries are homogeneous due to the presence of cultivated agricultural areas and portions of native forest, resulting in cooler overall LSTs. This helps to demonstrate the importance of urban vegetation on the maintenance and quality of the urban microclimate [9]. Fig.…”

“…In this context [8], the planimetric elevation of cities is commonly related to patterns of climate. Furthermore [9], the study of urban vegetation indices allows for the understanding of the dynamics of the type of existing microclimate.…”

Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) Using Space Syntax: A Case Study of Urban Parks in the South of Brazil

“…Urban parks need to be studied as their presence in urban areas directly impacts the population's quality of life. They help mitigate climate change provided by trees, are a place for doing physical activities outdoors and having social interaction [6]. Thus, this study applied four methodological stages:…”

“…Parks offer the population passive and active forms of connection and recreation, making them more livable spaces, suitable for the health of the urban population [5]. They act as regulating agents of the microclimate, becoming an indispensable element of the urban landscape [6].…”

“…The positive factors to the development of urban spaces, which generate factors of urban sustainability, are challenged by the premise of using urban spaces properly [7,8]. Thus, it is considered that urban parks need to be analyzed through walkability in order to design urban projects aimed at their maintenance and conservation [6,[9][10][11][12].…”
