Such green areas are marketing tools for real estate speculation and promotion of municipal administration. As a first step, a literature review on the main themes to be approached during the research was performed and then the classical and recent references about the history of urban parks were listed up. Also, the references about contemporaneous cities, city marketing and the linking of these subjects to real estate speculation were submitted to the same process. Subsequently, the urban parks were analyzed in the historical context of Goiania based on authors who have been involved in the study of the occupation and formation processes of the city and also in the real estate dynamics that is presented in the state capital of Goias. To analyze the effectiveness or urban parks as an estate appreciation vectors in Goiania, the value researches were taken, per square meter of projects under construction, which were located near and far to urban parks such as Bosque dos Buritis, Lake of the Roses and Areiao. All the information was assigned by real estate and construction companies. In this stage was possible to conclude that the parks that have more recent consolidation, as Areiao, have a reasonable difference price between the categories analyzed according to the distance. Furthermore, the first park that has been installed in Goiania does not have a significant difference price. This is the case of Bosque dos Buritis, which was the first park between those that have been analyzed. The Lago das Rosas presents a particular aspect that is the marketing which was always linked to the park. So, the projects surrounding this park are highly valued since seventies, particularly those bordering the green area. Finally, the third step of this work was based on the active search for data about the historical appreciation of the surrounding to the parks. These data were analyzed under the concepts of city marketing and real estate speculation of the areas taken as growth vectors known to be the south region of Goiania. It follows that the parks acts as a marketing tool for the surrounding projects appreciation and then overestimating the urban land an also promoting the marketing maneuvers and real estate speculation. / O presente trabalho discorre a respeito do processo de valorização imobiliária dos edifícios no entorno de parques urbanos, sendo essas áreas verdes instrumentos de marketing para a especulação imobiliária e promoção da administração municipal. Em uma primeira etapa foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico sobre as principais temáticas a serem abordadas ao longo da pesquisa, elencando-se referencias clássicas e recentes sobre a história dos parques urbanos, sobre as cidades contemporâneas, o city marketing e a ligação desses através da especulação imobiliária. A posteriori, os parques urbanos foram analisados no contexto histórico de Goiânia tendo como base autores que se dedicaram ao estudo do processo de ocupação e formação da cidade e da dinâmica imobiliária tão presente na capital goiana. Para analisar a efetividade dos parques urbanos como vetores de valorização imóvel na capital, foram tomadas pesquisas de valores, por metro quadrado, de empreendimentos em construção, que se localizavam próximos e distantes aos parques urbanos Bosque dos Buritis, Lago das Rosas e Areião. Todas as informações foram cedidas pelas construtoras e imobiliárias. Concluiu-se nesta etapa que, os parques que possuem adensamento mais recente, como Areião, possuem uma diferença razoável de preço entre as categorias analisadas segundo a distância. Já o Bosque dos Buritis, que foi o primeiro parque dentre os analisados a serem instalados em Goiânia, não apresentam uma diferença de preço tão significativa. O Lago das Rosas apresenta uma característica em especial: o marketing que desde sempre esteve atrelado ao parque. Portanto, os empreendimentos que o rodeiam são, desde a década de 70 muito valorizados, em especial os limítrofes da área verde. Por fim, a terceira etapa do trabalho baseou-se na busca ativa por dados a cerca da valorização histórica do entorno dos parques objetos desta pesquisa, analisados sob conceitos de city marketing e especulação imobiliária de áreas tidas como vetores de crescimento, sabidamente a região sul de Goiânia. Concluiu-se que os parques atuam sim como elemento de marketing para valorização dos empreendimentos do entorno supervalorizando o solo urbano e favorecendo manobras de marketing e especulação imobiliária.

It investigates the nature of these environments through the design optics. It was observed that even being a public space, the urban parks present aggregations and segregations in its uses. In response to this, it is possible to notice that some of this behaviors are detracted, generating interactions and conflicts in the functioning of these environments. Apparently, the current physical distribution of the environment has contributed to this behavior. The hypothesis is that through design strategies, people's interaction can be effectively triggered for the production of citizenship. By this perspective, the aim was to understand the functioning of contemporary urban parks and to identify how the space interfere in social behavior, in order to recover their primary function, which is the use of the environment in a collectively way, but with belonging. The methodology is based on a historical and qualitative approach, through the analysis of parks that present similar morphological structures. The expectation is that these design strategies can direct their 're-operation' in favor of interaction among users. / Esta pesquisa aborda os parques de Goiânia como parte da paisagem urbana contemporânea e como um elemento arquitetônico de produção de cidadania. Nela dedica-se a investigar a natureza destes ambientes através da ótica do design. Observa-se que mesmo sendo um espaço de caráter público, os parques urbanos apresentam agregações e segregações entre seus usuários. Em consequência a isto é possível notar que alguns comportamentos são desvirtuados, gerando tanto interações quanto conflitos no que diz respeito ao funcionamento destes ambientes. Ao que tudo indica, a atual configuração física dos parques tem contribuído para estes comportamentos. Emerge-se, então, a hipótese de que através da criação de estratégias de design, o convívio das pessoas pode ser efetivamente acionado no que tange a produção de cidadania. Tendo em vista este preceito, o objetivo é buscar compreender o funcionamento dos parques urbanos contemporâneos e identificar como o espaço físico constituído interfere no comportamento social, a fim de transformar sua função primordial que é o uso do ambiente de modo coletivo, porém com pertencimento. A metodologia baseia-se em uma abordagem histórica e qualitativa, por intermédio da análise de parques que apresentam estruturas morfológicas semelhantes. A expectativa é que essas estratégias de design, possam direcionar seu ‘re-funcionamento’ em prol da interação entre os usuários.

This research explores how community leaders could use Corbett’s Spectrum of Environmental Ideologies (2006) to analyze the ideologies of communication campaigns before adopting one into a community. In this research, a mixed age class of elementary students and local artisans created two “parks” in public parking spaces and participated in an arts contest in Nelson, BC. This action research used analytic coding to reflect on participants’ relationship with nature based on their response to: international Park(ing) Day and Transition Nelson. Additionally, participant recommendations for greening Nelson’s downtown core were compared with four models of social change for generating ecocentric solutions. Ecocentric solutions stem from the belief that humans and nature are interdependent. Found to be key were nurturing participants’ nascent ecocentric values and investigating the campaign materials deeply. Additionally building motivation, exploring alternatives, problem-solving, partnerships and improved organizational communication are important elements of social change.

The project addresses the role of urban parks and open spaces in the downtown community through written document and as well as through conceptual design of proposed project using the principles derived from some current movements, the traditional American towns, and some successful cases. The goal of this project is to study how to revitalize downtown's community through the physical design of urban parks and open spaces in the community. Heekin Park and surrounding neighborhoods in Muncie, Indiana are selected as the sites for this study. Literature reviews, case studies, and analysis of site context are included in the study. Design recommendations for the open spaces in surrounding neighborhoods and a concept for Heekin Park are the written and graphic product of the project. The solutions can be used as a general recommendation to improve the conditions of open spaces in downtown community. The concept for Heekin Park will be used to illustrate the potential of the site as an attractive space for the people of Muncie, IN. / Department of Landscape Architecture

This work fits within the proposed Master Plan Votorantim, and aims to identify, characterize, and assign frame through proposals, significant urban green areas of the city. These were characterized by a physical diagnosis through environmental field trips, maps present in the Secretariat of works pertaining to their subdivisions and public areas, information contained in the Master Plan and georeferenced images. Among the twelve areas, nine can be considered neighborhood parks and only three as neighborhood parks, mainly due to its dimensions. Regarding the state of conservation of the environment is worth highlighting three green areas, while the other studied have a higher degree of intervention, mostly with furniture and spaces waterproofed. Others are in a high degree of degradation, mainly by the accumulation of garbage. The enhancement and protection of green areas should be priorities in any master plan, based on the development of projects that include management programs, requiring detailed planning for these areas do not become problems for the city, eventually being abandoned or illegally occupied. / Dentro do processo de urbanização as áreas verdes surgem como alternativas contemplando novos aspectos culturais e estéticos, que vêm a extrapolar suas funções e usos. Esse trabalho se enquadra dentro da proposta do Plano Diretor de Votorantim, e tem por objetivo identificar, caracterizar, enquadrar e destinar por meio de propostas, áreas verdes urbanas significativas do Município. Estas foram caracterizadas por meio de um diagnóstico físico socioambiental através de saídas de campo, mapas presentes na Secretaria de obras, referentes aos seus loteamentos e áreas públicas, informações contidas no Plano Diretor Municipal e imagens georreferenciadas. Dentre as doze áreas, nove podem ser consideradas parques de vizinhança e apenas três como parques de bairro, devido principalmente às suas dimensões. Em relação ao estado de conservação do meio ambiente vale destacar três áreas verdes, enquanto as outras estudadas possuem um maior grau de intervenção, principalmente com mobiliário urbano e espaços impermeabilizados. Outras se encontram em alto grau de degradação, principalmente pelo acúmulo de lixo. A valorização e proteção de áreas verdes deveriam ser prioridades em qualquer plano diretor, tendo como base a elaboração de projetos que contemplem programas de manejo, exigindo um detalhado planejamento para que essas áreas não se tornem problemas para a cidade, sendo eventualmente abandonadas ou ocupadas irregularmente.

Flower seed mixes are increasingly used to enhance the biodiversity and amenity values of urban green spaces. Urban or “pictorial” flower seed mixes are often used because they are designed using cultivars and non-native species to provide more colourful and longer-lasting flower displays. Although these seed mixes are effective in providing a high density of large colourful flowers, over an extended season, their value for biodiversity, and in particular the floral rewards they provide for flower-visitors, is largely unknown. The overall aim of my thesis was to assess and improve the value of these new urban habitats as forage resources for flower-visiting insects. My approach was to quantify and compare floral reward provision and insect visitation between meadows grown from three exemplar commercial pictorial flower meadow seed mixes (called Marmalade Annual, Short Annual and Cornfield Annual). I also compared these standard commercial mixes with corresponding ‘nectar-enriched’ formulations, which were designed by increasing the proportional seed weight contribution of selected species predicted to produce high quantities of nectar within each mix. To compare floral rewards and visitation between meadows grown from these seed mixes, I set up a field experiment in Sheffield, UK, using a complete randomised block design with six replicate blocks, each with six 25 m2 plots sown with one of the six seed mix treatments. My first objective was to quantify the floral nectar and pollen rewards provided by each flowering species recorded in the meadows (on the scale of a single flower or inflorescence). My second objective was to use these data to quantify the floral rewards provided per unit area by replicate meadows of different seed mix treatments, testing whether enrichment of seed mixes is an effective method of increasing floral nectar sugar rewards. My third objective was to corroborate/correct my morphology-based flower-visitor identifications using DNA barcoding to screen for misidentifications and morphologically cryptic species. I then used these DNA barcode-based identifications to assess whether there are systematic biases in the structure of flower-visitor networks constructed using molecular taxon identifications compared to traditional morphology-based taxon identifications. My fourth objective was to quantify patterns of insect visitation to meadows, testing whether meadows of different seed mix types attract different flower-visitor assemblages. Meadow floral composition surveys revealed that contamination by unintended horticultural species was widespread across replicate seed mix treatments, with contaminants likely germinating from a seed bank laid down during a failed attempt at this experiment the previous year. Contamination particularly affected Marmalade mixes, mainly because the common contaminant species were often also components of the Short and Cornfield mixes. For example, contaminants contributed on average about a third of nectar sugar mass or pollen volume per unit area in Marmalade mix meadows. Hence, contamination fundamentally undermined the internal validity of seed mix treatments, reducing the ability to directly attribute meadow level patterns in floral rewards or flower-visitors to seed mixes. As result, examination of patterns of floral resource provision and insect visitation were more informative at a species scale. In terms of patterns of insect visitation, Centaurea cyanus received 91% of bumblebee visits, 88% of honeybee visits and 29% of hoverfly visits, whilst T. inodorum received 27% of hoverfly visits. Patterns of bumblebee and honeybee visitation indicated preferential visitation to floral units of Centaurea cyanus. Although this species produced high quantities of nectar sugar mass and pollen volume, this did not differentiate it from other Asteraceae, such as Glebionis segetum, Rudbeckia hirta and Coreopsis tinctoria, which all produced high quantities of both floral rewards. Hence, it is likely that floral traits not measured in this study, such as nectar accessibility (‘nectar-holder depth’) or concentration/volume characteristics (which can affect accessibility due to constraints imposed by feeding morphology), drove patterns of preferential visitation in bumblebees and honeybees to C. cyanus. Given that in the absence of contamination there would have been very few bumblebee or honeybee visitors to Marmalade mix meadows, aesthetically designed pictorial meadows can fail to jointly provide benefits for people and some important flower-visiting insect taxa. DNA barcoding did not change specimen identifications for most morphotaxa. However, splitting and/or lumping processes affected almost one third of morphotaxa, with lumping of morphotaxa the most common type of change. This was in part because males and females from sexually dimorphic species were often separated by morphological identification. These DNA barcode-based changes to visitor taxonomy resulted in consistent minor changes in network size and structure across replicate networks. Lumping of morphotaxa decreased taxon richness, reducing the number of unique links and interaction diversity (the effective number of links). Lumping also increased flower-visitor generality, reducing plant vulnerability and increasing overall network connectance. However, taxonomic changes had no effect on interaction evenness or network specialisation. Thus, for this well-studied fauna, DNA barcode-based flower-visitor networks were systematically biased toward fewer taxa and links, with more generalist visitors and specialist plants. Given that many tropical faunas have more species and are less described than in Britain this pattern may not be replicated in other studies. Further studies in contrasting plant-pollinator communities are required before generalisations can be made about systematic biases between networks constructed using morphological versus molecular data. Overall, meadows grown from annual pictorial flower meadow seed mixes provide abundant floral units per unit area of meadow and are a valuable alternative to traditional horticultural flower beds or amenity grasslands in high profile urban contexts. Nevertheless, care must be taken during design of seed mixes and selection of mixes for planting to ensure that species in the mix provide suitable floral resources for an array of flower-visitors, including bees. This would be aided by the integration of informative measures for candidate species of floral rewards or visitor types and visitation rates during seed mix design.

It starts with the idea that spatial arrangements have been changed over the years due to changes in habits of society or subtle impositions of the real estate market through advertisements, that contribute to the formation of the urban imagination and the process overvaluation of these enterprises. They were brought to the debate on key concepts such as dwelling, the type and the imaginary, beyond the historical review of the transformations of verticalized buildings and parks analyzed in order to answer the questions proposed in this research. The types of apartments in the vicinity of the first parks in Goiânia were identified and analyzed through the redesign of the plants of the apartments, reading chronicles local authors and comparing these data. The appreciation of these spaces is constantly reinforced by the government and the media, also affecting the production of architectural programs offered to users both in the common areas of buildings as in the apartments. By analyzing the architectural types was possible to note the specific spatial and functional characteristics of each period, changes in the needs programs and advertising materials of the enterprises, as well as reducing the square footage of apartments searched. / Esta pesquisa investiga as tipologias dos apartamentos no entorno dos parques Bosque dos Buritis e Lago das Rosas, em Goiânia, da década de 1980 à atualidade. Parte-se da ideia de que os arranjos espaciais sofreram modificações ao longo dos anos em decorrência de mudanças nos hábitos da sociedade ou por imposições sutis do mercado imobiliário por meio de peças publicitárias, que colaboram para a formação do imaginário urbano e para o processo de supervalorização desses empreendimentos. Foram trazidos à discussão conceitos fundamentais como o habitar, a tipologia e o imaginário, além da revisão histórica das transformações dos edifícios verticalizados e dos parques analisados, a fim de responder os questionamentos propostos nessa pesquisa. As tipologias dos apartamentos no entorno dos primeiros parques em Goiânia foram identificadas e analisadas por meio do redesenho das plantas dos apartamentos, da leitura de crônicas de autores locais e da comparação entre esses dados. A valorização desses espaços é constantemente reforçada pelo poder público e pela mídia, afetando também a produção dos programas arquitetônicos oferecidos aos usuários, tanto nas áreas comuns dos edifícios quanto nos apartamentos. Ao analisar os tipos arquitetônicos foi possível notar as características espaciais e funcionais específicas de cada época, as mudanças nos programas de necessidades e nos materiais publicitários dos empreendimentos, bem como a redução da metragem quadrada dos apartamentos pesquisados.

Although the idea of the entrepreneurial city is nothing new, recent research in contemporary urban geography and related disciplines indicates that the modus operandi of such entrepreneurial endeavors has shifted, as a result of an increasing recognition and acceptance of global climate change, to include and even prioritize sustainable urban development discourses and practices. While these discourses purportedly culminate in the production of the “sustainable city,” they often fail to deliver upon their promise to create a greener, more sustainable city for all. Such practices, in an effort to help cities obtain an urban sustainability fix (While et al. 2004), often lead to the selective uptake and implementation of “sustainable” policies and projects by local governments and members of the urban elite in their efforts to positively market their respective cities to potential residents and investors. The city of Lexington, Kentucky’s ongoing efforts to establish a new downtown park system—the Town Branch Commons—along the route of a once buried stream, is representative of how such a sustainability fix is both conceived of and ultimately produced by urban elites in the contemporary neoliberal city.

Assim como praças e áreas verdes e de lazer, os parques se inserem no conjunto espacial urbano como resultado do processo mais amplo de produção e reprodução do espaço, baseado nas leis e normas do Estado capitalista. Neste estudo se discutem os parques como um dos lugares onde a produção da natureza se materializa, sobretudo porque após a Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento, em 1992, ampliaram-se os discursos do "verde" como forma de promover qualidade de vida . Neste processo, o poder público, ao implantar equipamentos públicos em áreas específicas da cidade, contribui para a valorização e apropriação desigual do espaço e ampliação das desigualdades socioespaciais, mesmo que o discurso fale em bem comum dos munícipes. De maneira geral, a pesquisa apresenta a compreensão do processo de criação e espacialização de parques públicos com a dinâmica da incorporação imobiliária, discursos e práticas sobre lazer e qualidade de vida, demonstrando a complexidade da apropriação, produção, reprodução, reapropriação do espaço urbano no município de Ribeirão Preto-SP. Parte-se de uma abordagem crítica em relação à produção do espaço, buscando compreender e situar os parques no contexto da problemática urbana, evidenciando-os como equipamentos criados, entre outras funções, para a promoção de gestões públicas e para conferir um valor diferencial em certas parcelas da cidade. Estes equipamentos interferem no preço da terra e induzem a expulsão não explicitada dos que não podem pagar para morar ou continuar morando nas suas imediações. Os parques não são espaços neutros que promovem qualidade de vida, como colocado nos discursos, mas inserem-se no conjunto socioespacial urbano com intenções e significados diferentes em cada parcela da cidade. São equipamentos urbanos implantados como espaços públicos voltados ao lazer e à conservação ambiental, mas contraditoriamente se caracterizam pela apropriação privada e pela negação (da conservação) da natureza, pois são implantados, em geral, com espécies exóticas. Os parques Prefeito Luiz Roberto Jábali e Dr. Luís Carlos Raya, que respaldaram esta análise, são representativos da produção espacial em Ribeirão Preto, onde os equipamentos públicos têm sido implantados nas áreas em que se aloja a população de maior renda e a que se confere um maior valor ao solo urbano. Dessa forma, se tornam notáveis na cidade não só pela dimensão que assumem como espaços de lazer, mas pela localização em áreas de crescente valorização imobiliária e pela projeção imputada pelo poder público. Implantados em áreas consideradas degradadas, como as antigas áreas mineradoras das quais se extraíam basalto, estes parques constituem "novos espaços" na cidade, imprimem novas marcas na paisagem e revelam as modificações ocorridas nos usos dessas áreas. Os parques integram um conjunto de estratégias (avenidas ajardinadas, boulevards, shopping centers etc.) que, implantado na zona Sul de Ribeirão Preto, contribuiu para a maior valorização dos imóveis em relação às outras parcelas da cidade. Foi verificado que os imóveis próximos aos parques Prefeito Luiz Roberto Jábali e Dr. Luís Carlos Raya apresentam preços mais elevados do que outros imóveis no mesmo bairro, proporcionando renda diferencial elevada, confirmando que os parques representam uma forma de valorização imobiliária e contribui no aumento das desigualdades socioespaciais / Abstract: The present work discusses the process of the urban space production by analyzing the meaning of the creation of parks in specific areas on the city. The Parks, as well as the squares and the green areas and of recreation, interfere in the urban space comp lex because of a result of the widest process of space's production and reproduction, based on laws and norms of the Capitalist State. In this study, the parks are discussed as one of the places where the nature's production is materialized, above all beca use after the Conference of the United Nations on Environment and Development, occurred in 1992, the speeches about the "green" were enlarged as a way of promoting life quality. In this process, the public power, when implanting public equipments in specific areas of the city, contributes to the valorization and unequal space appropriation and enlargement of the socio-spatials inequalities, even if the speech regards the cities' common good. Overall, the research presents the understanding of the creation a nd spatial distribution process of public parks with the real estate office incorporation dynamics, speeches and practices about leisure and life quality, demonstrating the complexity of the urban space's appropriation, production, reproduction, repossession in the municipal district of Ribeirão Preto -SP. It starts from a critical approach respecting the space production, searching to understand and to place the parks in the urban problem context, evidencing them as created equipments, among other functions, to the promotion of public administrations and to confer in certain portions of the city a differential value. These equipments interfere in the land price and they induce the expulsion not clear of the ones that cannot pay to live or to continue living in their surroundings. The parks are not neutral spaces which promote life quality, as commonly spoken in speeches, but they interfere in the urban socio-spatial complex with intentions and different meanings in each portion of the city. They are urban equipments implanted as public spaces directed to the leisure and the environmental conservation, but adversely they are characterized by the private appropriation and by the denial (of the conservation) of the nature, because they are implanted, in general, with exotic species. The parks Prefeito Luiz Roberto Jábali and Dr. Luís Carlos Raya, which supported this analysis, are representatives of the space production in Ribeirão Preto, where the public equipments have been implanted in those areas in which the population of larger income lodges and in which is conferred a larger value to the urban land. In that way, they become notables in the city not only for the dimension that they assume as leisure spaces, but also for the location in areas of growing real estate valorization and for the projection imputed by the public power.
