The community gardens seek to ensure the promotion of healthy food and family economy. However, these areas demonstrate a potential for rescuing affective bonds and promoting the collectivity. The objective was to analyze the environmental perception and affections of the community garden program users in a city located in southern Brazil. 14 users were interviewed, mostly retired and over 60 years old. The Affective Maps Generator Tool was adapted to make the affections possible for interpretation. The content analysis found the perception of an environment that facilitates the psychological restoration, mental health, quality of life, environmental interactions, productivity, healthy diet and family economy. The affections experienced were often described with the intention to identify gardens as restorative environments and spaces that promote quality of life, which are important mediators of collectivity and the appropriation of environment.

O presente trabalho é uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre o conceito de topofilia, entendendo que a percepção ambiental é um fator influenciador da vida humana através do comportamento, da sociabilidade e do bem-estar. O estudo teve o objetivo de compreender como o conceito tem sido abordado nos estudos de paisagem cultural, natural e urbana. Foram selecionados 30 artigos que investigam a relação humana com o ambiente ou com a paisagem,que discutem o senso de lugar, apego ou a conexão com o lugar. Como resultado foram identificadas diferentes abordagens que puderam ser agregadas em três grupos de análise: o indivíduo, a coletividade e o ambiente. Além disso, foram avaliados quantitativamente dados que apontam direções para um futuro aprofundamento do estudo acerca do tema.
