Avaliação funcional de áreas verdes urbanas para priorização na gestão ambiental: revisão e aplicação

Abstract

Several studies highlight the importance of green areas in urban areas for the quality of life of the populations living in these regions. Faced with such relevance, this document has as main objective the production of a functional index that evaluates the urban green areas from the provision of ecosystem services. Chapter 1 provides a bibliographical review on the subject, evaluating articles that have already proposed similar indexes. As a result, we obtained the ecosystem services that behaved as indicators for the proposed functional index. In Chapter 2, the functional index is elaborated in itself. Using R - 3.5.1 software, it is possible to execute the created codes and compile the indicators using the radar chart method. Despite its frailties, the proposed functional index meets its main objective, being a tool to identify priority areas for environmental management.
