Vegetação urbana: o panorama de áreas verdes previstas na cidade de São Gabriel - RS

Abstract

The master plans as instruments of public policy should cover not only the areas of urban sprawl, but the places to provide the basic needs of leisure and recreation to its population. Based on touted as green areas planned for the municipality of São Gabriel, RS, a study was conducted at four sites in order to check the knowledge of the population about these destinations as well as their perception of these spaces. The results indicate the absence of actions to provide the local structure which gives them their status as green areas and the perception of the importance given by the residents interviewed by the possibility of enjoying these sites. The native vegetation was preferred to compose these areas demonstrating a link with the surrounding landscape.
