Arborização urbana na Vila Nova Holanda em Carambeí, Paraná

Abstract

Urban arborization is an essential element in the urban landscape, as it can benefit the population environmentally and socially, even contributing to improvements in the quality of life of citizens. To achieve this, projects are required that respect the local ecosystem, especially with regard to native plants, and the physical characteristics of tree species positioned in the urban fabric. Furthermore, for successful arborization, constant monitoring and maintenance of urban trees is necessary. However, if this is not definitively done, urban arborization can contribute to negative effects, if it is excessively composed of exotic species, for example, it can influence the reduction of local native biodiversity. In this context, the objective of this work is to analyze the tree species present and the community's perception regarding Urban Arborization in the Nova Holanda village, in the Central neighborhood, in Carambeí, Paraná. Being an applied study, which used the census of tree species in the location followed by an online questionnaire with audiovisual material for scientific dissemination about such arborization, to combat botanical blindness. It is clear from the research that the population is aware of the benefits of urban arborization, but is still unable to identify or recognize the plants around them due to the large presence of trash found in the area. Therefore, the video developed becomes important to establish a connection between society and the present urban arborization, in order to preserve it.
