Abstract

Abstract The importance of green areas in urban centers is related to the environmental quality and the sustainable development of these spaces, as well as the desirable interdisciplinary perspective. In addition to their ecological and microclimate functions, urban green spaces contribute to the establishment of a relationship between the environment and human beings, with the potential of stimulating development of sense of place. This study aims to present possible aspects involved in the process of spatial human appropriation in urban green spaces. Squares in Aracaju were the bases for observations of human behavior, which were related to spatial features. The results have revealed that, along with microclimate aspects, spatial composition, and vegetation (presence or absence), other aspects were related to the appropriation process of squares, such as decision-making based on prejudgment, exposure to risks, differentiated perceptions, and sense of vulnerability. Therefore, the qualitative, spatial, and cognitive pieces of information presented may contribute to improve the relationship between humans and environment and, consequently the appropriation of urban green spaces.

(In)巴西城市绿地空间占用过程中影响人的可见因素

城市中心绿地的重要性关系到环境质量和这些空间的可持续发展，以及理想的跨学科视角。城市绿地除了具有生态和小气候功能外，还有助于建立环境与人之间的关系，具有激发地方感发展的潜力。本研究旨在探讨城市绿地空间人类占有过程中可能涉及的方面。阿拉卡朱的广场是观察人类行为的基地，人类行为与空间特征有关。结果表明，除了小气候因素、空间组成和植被(有无)外，其他方面与广场的占用过程有关，如基于预判的决策、风险暴露、差异化感知和脆弱性感。因此，所呈现的定性、空间和认知信息可能有助于改善人与环境之间的关系，从而改善城市绿地的占用。
