Abstract

The thesis sought to analyze environmental actions, contemplating ecosystem services, in the Mato Grosso do Sul context, with emphasis on the urban area of the municipalities. For this, the use of quantitative methods to analyze the collected data was more frequently adopted, and when possible, qualitative analysis was also used, according to the available data. The studies carried out in this thesis had as a guiding question, -How are environmental actions organized and reflected in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul? The search for this answer contemplated different geographic scales, according to the characteristics of the study carried out. As well as different bibliographic methods, such as integrative review to obtain information on the state of the art on the subject, quantitative as factor analysis for index creation, shift-share for land use and environmental and qualitative valuation, for understanding information about the municipalities and their environmental organization. It can be seen that the information regarding human needs regarding the presence of green areas in urban space is consolidated in the literature. This measure contributes to people's physical and mental health and helps them in their daily lives, improving their quality of life. However, the availability of green areas is associated with land use, which, in the case of Mato Grosso do Sul, it can be identified that environmental policies have contributed to the existence of public and private actions, which are significant for the conservation of the natural features of the state. On the other hand, there is a need for advances, regarding the awareness of the population of the state, regarding the importance of urban green areas. It was also observed that municipal public management is essential for the creation and maintenance of green areas. In this way, it is believed that the public initiative to value green areas and the ecosystem services generated in these places can benefit the maintenance and existence of these areas, especially in places where land use is competitive, such as urban areas.
