[en] USE AND PERCEPTION OF GREEN URBAN SPACES IN CITIES: A CASE STUDY OF TWO PUBLIC PARKS IN RIO DE JANEIRO / [pt] USO E PERCEPÇÃO DE ÁREAS VERDES EM GRANDES CIDADES: ESTUDO DE CASO EM DOIS PARQUES URBANOS NO RIO DE JANEIRO

[pt] Uso e percepção de áreas verdes em grandes cidades: Estudo de caso em dois parques urbanos no Rio de Janeiro. A existência de áreas verdes nas cidades, sobretudo na forma de parques urbanos, é destacada como um fator determinante para a qualidade de vida local pois, além de oferecer um espaço para o convívio e o lazer da população, estas áreas proporcionam um embelezamento da paisagem e uma série de serviços ambientais que contribuem para a melhoria do clima local. A fim de identificar as características vitais para o bom funcionamento destes espaços, foram analisadas seis cidades reconhecidas como referências em termos de políticas públicas de áreas verdes: Curitiba, Freiburg, Londres, Nova Iorque, Seul e Singapura. Desta primeira análise, tornou-se evidente a importância de uma abordagem à escala da cidade e a importância da participação da população na implantação dessas medidas. Em um segundo momento, foram analisados dois dos maiores parques da cidade do Rio de Janeiro: o Parque do Flamengo e o Bosque da Barra. Objetivou-se entender o papel dos parques numa cidade cuja identidade já é fortemente associada ao seu patrimônio natural. Foram conduzidas entrevistas presenciais com os usuários dos parques e uma enquete online com a população carioca para entender a percepção da população sobre estes espaços. Nestas entrevistas, foi observada uma diferença entre a percepção dos usuários dos parques e dos entrevistados no meio virtual. Coletar as opiniões das pessoas é importante para adequar a cidade aos desejos e às reais necessidades da população. / [en] Green urban spaces, especially in the form of urban parks, are perceived as vital elements for the general well-being within a city. These spaces provide the population with a place for leisure and social interactions, as well as with the embellishment of the landscape and a wide range of environmental services that contribute the local climate. In order to understand the role of urban parks in cities, six cities that stand out as accomplished examples in urban planning were analyzed. The cities selected for this analysis were Curitiba, Freiburg, London, New York, Seoul and Singapore. From this first analysis, it became clear that a systemic vision in urban planning is of utmost importance. The proportion of green area per inhabitant should not only consider the overall dimensions of these spaces, but also their distribution throughout the urban territory. Measures that encourage a more homogeneous distribution include linear parks and green corridors, which create a unique circuit within the city, one where people can walk from one park to the other. The success of green urban spaces in these cities depends heavily on the cooperation between the population and the local government. Curitiba, for example, managed to preserve and expand the city s green coverage through conscious environmental policies and through local campaigns that involved the population in the care for these spaces. In London and New York, we could also find examples of campaigns in which the population took an active part in the planting of trees in public spaces. When the population gets involved, their sense of identity and the bond with the local community becomes stronger. This sense of belonging is essential to ensure the presence of people in public space, an aspect that directly influences the feeling of safety in the urban environment. Accessibility is another vital aspect to ensure the presence of people in public space. New York s urban plan, the PLANYC, determines that every citizen must live within a 10 minute walk from a park since recent studies show that people prefer to go to parks that they are able to reach on foot. Green corridors, such as the ones in Singapore or Seoul, ensure easy access for a greater population since they cross different neighborhoods within the city. These green corridors also guarantee flora continuity and the migration of certain species such as birds and insects. The systemic vision in urban planning, therefore, is essential for accessibility and democratization of these public spaces.
