Description

Mestrado em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de Agronomia In the current era is a reality that the green spaces have a very important role in urban areas due to their ecological, social, economic and aesthetic functions: they reduce the harmful effects of the city environment, promote social relationships, by facilitating sports and entertainment, value and mitigate the impact of infrastructures. It is essential that green spaces promote a sustainable development, regardless of their characteristics and dimensions, even in the design phase. In order to achieve a proper planning and management of green spaces, it was necessary to classify the types of urban green spaces considering their diversity of uses and function in urban areas. This is the aim of this work, applied to the region of Oeiras and São Julião da Barra, trying to optimize resources and funds available in the Oeiras City Council. To obtain concrete results we used the model developed by the World Sustainability Society, which reveals how rationalization of resources translates into a more economic management and also more sustainable. This is an innovative model, constantly developing, which, among others, consents to compare different situations and to provide guidelines that allow optimizing the planning and management of green spaces.
