Análise da relação entre parques urbanos e bairros na cidade do Recife.

Abstract

The relevance of the role played by urban parks in cities has been evidenced due to the growing demand of the population for wooded public spaces and with infrastructure for leisure. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the differences in the percentage of vegetation cover of five parks studied, and the origin of visitors from these areas of Recife. The methodology applied was the descriptive method with qualiquantitative approach, seeking data both in relation to the ICV and the origin of the regulars, mean distance traveled, percentage of residents of the neighborhood and infrastructure of the parks. In relation to the ICV, the Jaqueira neighborhood had the highest percentage of vegetation cover and Boa Viagem had the lowest. And the frequency of visitors to the parks Treze de Maio, Jaqueira, Macaxeira and Dona Lindu were from residents of distant neighborhoods. The study showed that parks function as places of appropriation of people from different places, so the relationship of parks with the residents of neighborhoods in Recife does not determine the frequency of visitation of these residents.
