Uma análise técnica sobre a arborização de áreas verdes de Cruz das Almas – Ba

Abstract

Several studies show how urban afforestation has an influence on the quality of life of the population of certain places and areas that are close to them. In this way, the rulers of many cities invest in grand landscape projects to increase the quality and quantity of their green areas. These projects, in addition to helping the well-being of the population, still satisfy capitalist interests as existing properties in properly wooded areas tend to have a higher market value. However it is the personal satisfaction of the population that prevails. Considering this particularity, this study aims to analyze the quality of afforestation in four public squares in the city of Cruz das Almas (BA). The evaluation was performed by analyzing tree structure, infrastructure and shade projection of the treetops. This quality was measured through the inventory carried out in the areas, the identification of structural problems, as well as the measurement of the projection of the shadows of the tree tops in order to calculate the existing shading areas. The field work, in turn, was carried out between March and July 2019. The subject addressed is extremely important, given that the results show that certain production arrangements of society's development are directly associated with its development. well-being and relationship with other human beings and the environment.
