Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Ecologia) – Centro de Biociências, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/51835The presence of urban parks in cities is increasingly essential not only for the protection of local fauna and flora, but also positively influences the quality of life of the population. Studies prove several benefits of green areas in the health and well-being of individuals, such as: reduction of sedentary lifestyle, quick recovery of patients and improvement of mood and self-esteem. With this, the present study sought to better understand the relationship and affectivity of visitors to an urban ecological park based on the hypothesis of biophilia, comparing the age groups of minors and adults. Through a semi-structured questionnaire with visitors to an urban ecological park, it was possible to analyze the relationship and the sense of belonging of the visitors. In all, 200 visitors were interviewed, 100 aged 13 to 17 and 100 aged 18 or over. The results obtained showed considerable differences between these two groups. Some relevant points can be observed, such as the distinction between minors and adults, with regard to use, the length of stay in the park and the well-being felt. Thus, the study highlights the importance of urban parks for human life, as a transforming agent of new habits and good health and environmental practices. As well as, the use of the data presented may serve as a basis of information to assist in the decision-making of the management bodies.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/BiofiliaÁreas verdes urbanasRelação homem-naturezaBem-estarConservação ambientalEducação AmbientalBiophiliaUrban green areasMan-nature relationshipWelfareEnvironmental ConservationEnvironmental EducationbachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::ECOLOGIA
