ANÁLISE DAS PRAÇAS PÚBLICAS EM UM BAIRRO PERIFÉRICO NA CIDADE DE CAMPO GRANDE- MS

Abstract

In recent years, the demand for open spaces in densely populated areas has intensified, as these represent an improvement in quality of life and increased property values. In this sense, the role of public squares stands out, providing numerous benefits, both for environmental quality and ecosystem balance, and for the health and well-being of the surrounding population, contributing to sustainable development. This work addresses the Nova Campo Grande neighborhood, a territorial area located in the northwestern portion of the city of Campo Grande - MS. Given the considerable territorial extension of the neighborhood and its numerous urban voids, some of which are green areas, this study proposes mapping the neighborhood's squares, conducting a structural analysis, and assessing their current uses. To this end, a bibliographic and cadastral survey on the subject was carried out, followed by mapping and photographic documentation of the areas, identifying their uses and analyzing perceptions of their current uses. The results indicate that most of the identified squares have purposes that diverge from those of a typical square, such as leisure, recreation, well-being, exercise, among others. Therefore, better planning of these spaces is necessary, considering their regular maintenance.
