Levantamento do perfil dos frequentadores de parques verdes urbanos como instrumento de planejamento ambiental

Abstract

Due to the disorderly growth of cities, the presence of urban green parks becomes increasingly important for the preservation of local biodiversity, maintenance of the microclimate and offer an area of leisure and recreation for society. The city of Dourados (MS) has several parks, among them the Arnulpho Fioravante, Antenor Martins and Primo Fioravante Vicente, which have problems of infrastructure, maintenance and management, affecting its landscape and ecological quality. Thus, the present study has the objective of identifying the profile of 90 participants from the studied parks, randomly selected through the application of a pre-structured questionnaire and a Free Word Association Test (TALP). It was verified that the majority of the visitors of the park Antenor Martins, Arnulpho Fioravante and Primo Fioravante Vicente is resident of the city of Dourados between 8 and 35 years. Currently the population can enjoy a leisure area, adding social, economic and environmental value. However, the lack of maintenance and care with the parks had a prominent prominence in the TALP, which allowed to evoke the individual sensory and rational perception of the visitors. Such information will be of great relevance for the adoption of new revitalization, maintenance and, above all, programs that promote transparency and the participation of society in the management of the park.
