Abstract

The importance of conservation of green areas is the main theme discussed in this research, having as object of analysis the only existing green area within the urban environment of Vicentina, municipality of Mato Grosso do Sul. Thus, the study sought to highlight its relationship with the growth and development of the city, through a historical analysis of the years 2017 and 2022. The final objective of the research was to propose a “Parque Natural Municipal” with the aim of preserving and protecting the native reserve area, concurrently promoting leisure activities and environmental education, contributing to an improvement in the quality of life of the population. The methodology used was based on exploratory research, interviews were conducted with the population and public agents of the municipality, In this process, stands out the “Avaliação de Pós-ocupação” (APO) and the construction of mental maps, field visits with photographic and aerial surveys and elaboration of layout of architectural boards. After analyzing and understanding the data, a projectual/purposeful study was developed, in which the area was chosen based on the need to preserve the native reserve, treating it as a “Unidade de conservação municipal” (UCM), connected to an ecological corridor, in order to promote animal and vegetation dispersion, and at the same time, revitalize the “Área de Preservação Permanente” (APP) of Córrego Jovino Lemes, present to the east of the native reserve area. The aim was to demonstrate the possibilities of urbanization linked to conservation principles and the protection of remaining green areas. Thus, the results presented thus constitute legitimate instruments for the implementation of municipal public policies that bring with them the trinomial: urban growth – environmental preservation and conservation – urban environmental quality.
