Espaços públicos e qualidade ambiental: reflexão sobre as praças públicas da zona urbana da cidade de Santana do Araguaia – PA. 2021.

Abstract

The squares within public open spaces are the main free space and the most representative of cities. Public spaces are great allies of the population's well being, and this has been increasingly discussed, both in social and environmental terms. This work aims to carry out reflections on public spaces from a case study on public squares framed in the context of environmental quality in the urban area of Santana do Araguaia-PA. To achieve the proposed objective, bibliographic surveys were carried out on the subject, as well as visits to the sample sites. Based on the results achieved, it was possible to verify that the public squares in the study area showed depredation, evidencing the need for conservation of environmental quality. With the study, it was possible to reflect on environmental quality in the context of open spaces with an emphasis on public squares.
