Abstract

Parks and squares can play an important role in health promotion, as they can be suitable places for physical activity, providing an active life to users. The present work had as its object of study the Parque de Camaragibe, with the objective of qualitatively verifying the Parque de Camaragibe as a space for physical activity. It is also sought to apply the SERVQUAL scale adapted to the reality of the park and thus understand the level of user satisfaction, identifying points for improvement. Data were collected in 3 stages: visit to the urban planning sector for an interview with the manager, as well as systematic observation in loco and application of questionnaires in Camaragibe Park with users who practice physical activity. Twelve attributes were defined, important for promoting well-being and meeting the needs of users. This work can be classified as a field survey work, of the descriptive type and with a qualitative approach, having the structured questionnaire as an instrument for collecting opinions. To assess the Expectation (E) and Perception (P) questions, the Likert scale adapted to 5 wasused, being distributed in 1 "strongly disagree", 2 "disagree", 3 "neither agree nor disagree", 4 "agree ” and 5 “I totally agree”. Analyzing the data, it was possible to identify that the presence of security professionals, the presence of a physical education professional and the availability of accessible/clean bathrooms were the variables that presented the greatest gaps between expectation (E) and perception (P), thus being characterized as criticism.
