Abstract(s)
As áreas verdes urbanas têm o potencial de atenuar alguns efeitos negativos da urbanização. Além do valor estético, os espaços verdes melhoram a qualidade do ar, reduzem os níveis de ruído e geram condições microclimáticas mais confortáveis, entre outros benefícios, que contribuem para a qualidade de vida urbana.
A arborização urbana contribui diretamente na qualidade de vida nas cidades, beneficiando seu equilíbrio físico-ambiental. Com isto, e porque as áreas verdes urbanas fazem cada vez mais parte do dia-a-dia das pessoas este trabalho procurou estudar o perfil dos utentes dos espaços verdes urbanos da cidade de Mirandela e as características de duas espécies arbóreas (Liquidambar styraciflua e Platanus orientalis) mais abundantes nos espaços verdes da cidade.
Neste estudo verificou-se que as árvores das duas espécies apresentam diferenças significativas relativamente à sombra que produzem e uma correlação interessante entre alguns dos seus parâmetros biométricos, o que abre a possibilidade de desenvolver modelos que posteriormente facilitem a estimativa de outros, de obtenção mais complexa. Verificou-se também que, no geral, os utentes dos espaços verdes estão satisfeitos com os mesmos.

Besides the aesthetic value, green spaces improve air quality, reduce noise levels and generate more comfortable microclimate conditions, among other benefits, that contribute to the quality of urban life. Urban forestry contributes directly to the quality of life in cities, benefiting physical and environmental balance. With this, and because urban green areas are part of everyday life of people, this study aimed to study the profile of urban green spaces users in the city of Mirandela and also study the characteristics of two of most abundant tree species in the city (Liquidambar styraciflua and Platanus orientalis). As a result of this study, it was verified that the shadow produced by the two species of trees differ significantly and there was an interesting correlation between their biometric parameters, which opens the possibility to develop models that can facilitate the estimation of more complex variables. It was also verified that, in general, users of green spaces are satisfied with them.
