Diagnóstico e propostas de gestão de cinco áreas verdes na microbacia do córrego Água Boa

Abstract

The urban green areas, in public spaces, are essential to the configuration of the social rights to the city, performing social, aesthetical, ecological, educational and psychological functions, in addition to promoting environmental services which in turn translates into benefits. The study aims to diagnose and qualify the planning and management of five green areas in the stream microbasin of Água Boa, Dourados-MS, Parque Antenor Martins, Parque Arnulpho Fioravanti, Parque Primo Fioravante, Parque Victélio de Pelegrin and CEPER IV, specifically: (i) Evaluate the planning and management of five urban green areas, the condition, perception and social demand of urban parks; (ii) Propose a management plan for urban parks. A theorical contextualization was carried out on the functions performed by green areas and the benefits provided by them, in addition to a survey of municipal normative acts that establish guidelines on the management of urban green areas. A rapid assessment protocol and a virtual questionnaire with the population were applied to assess their perception. Management scenarios were also built using the inductive method. The result obtained in the questionnaires supports the information from the environmental diagnosis, which found reduced maintenance and cleaning of the natural and built infrastructure, limited accessibility, absence of a management plan and reduced provision of services. Even if there are guidelines related to green areas, they do not establish plans and programs to diversify and qualify services in these spaces, however there are instruments and social actors, which can be fundamental for planning, collaborative management and implementation of plans, programs and projects in the city's green areas.
