O artigo propõe uma discussão teórica acerca das paisagens coexistenciais interespecíficas na urbe, voltando-se especialmente à morada humana. Esta é percebida como o lugar da convivência entre humanos e não-humanos – também se considera o seu entorno, onde aparecem os quintais/pomares e os espaços verdes habitados pela fauna silvestre urbana. A coexistência interespecífica contribui para a diversidade na conformação das paisagens citadinas, sendo que as ambiências domésticas – a localidade do espaço habitado/lócus da experiência íntima – permitem a humanos e não-humanos o compartilhamento de uma vida juntos a partir de diferentes formas de interações simbólico-práticas. As áreas verdes revelam-se lugares de interações interespecíficas diversas na urbe, figurando enquanto espaços de contato. Para as reflexões que proponho realizar, parto de minha experiência de coabitação com gatos domésticos e de meu ofício de etnógrafo que pesquisa as relações entre humanos e não-humanos em uma área verde na cidade de Belém (PA) na Amazônia.Palavras-chave: Paisagens. Cidade. Habitat. Animais. Áreas verdes. Interespécies.The Coexistent and Interspecific Landscapes or About Humans and Nonhumans Sharing Domestics Places in an Amazonian City  AbstractThe paper proposes a theoretical discussion about the coexistent and interspecific landscapes at the urbis, regarding, specially, the human shelter. This is perceived as a place of coexistence between humans and nonhumans – its surroundings where there are yards/orchards and green spaces inhabited by urban wildlife is also considered. The interspecific coexistence contributes to the diversity in shaping cityscapes and the domestic ambiences - the location of the living space/locus of intimate experience - allow human and nonhuman sharing a life together, founded on different forms of symbolic and practical interactions. The green areas turn up in places of diverse and interspecific interactions at the urbis, constituting spaces of contact. Aiming at these reflections, I consider my own coexistence experience with domestic cats and my work as an ethnographer who studies the relationships between human and nonhumans in a green area in the city of Belém (PA) in Amazon.Key words: Landscapes.

Urbanization is currently one of the most pressing environmental issues which cuts across all countries at unprecedented rates and intensities, with far reaching consequences on ecosystems, biodiversity and human wellbeing. This paper assessed urban expansion and land use/land cover changes in Sokoto metropolis, North-western Nigeria using Remote Sensing and GIS. Landsat images of 1990, 1999 and 2015 were processed for LULC classification and change detection using the Maximum Likelihood Classification, Post Classification Comparison techniques and the Land Change Modeler. The classification revealed five broad land cover classes which include Built-up Area, Farmland, Green Area, Open Space and Wetland/Water. The Built-up and Green areas continuously increased while Farmland and Open space decreased throughout the study period. The metropolis expanded radially at a faster rate between 1999 and 2015 with the highest rate of increase (1890.5ha per annum) recorded in the Built-up Area. This implies a doubling time of approximately 30 years at the expense of Farmland and Open space which may be completely exhausted in 40 and 29 years respectively. Infrastructural provision should thus align with the rate and direction of growth and where the Green Area is converted, replacement should be made to ensure continued supply and stability of the numerous ecosystem services green areas provide.

Green Areas

Abstract The environment of a city is influenced by global and local climate changes, pollution load from transport, industry and local heat sources. Green spaces as part of the urban green infrastructure fulfil multiple ecosystem services and improve the environmental and residential quality of a city. The level of positive effects of green spaces depends on their area, distribution within the city and the proportion of trees. The aim of the paper was to evaluate land cover structure in a selected segment of the housing estate Klokočina in Nitra, Slovakia. The evaluation focused on the share of biologically active and inactive surfaces, as well as the parameters of woody plant structure in green spaces. Green areas account for 58.70%, while built-up areas, parking lots and roads cover in total 41.30%. Biologically inactive anthropogenic horizontal and of building envelope areas represent 67.30%. Biologically active green areas represent 32.70%. The share of areas with tree crown overlap on horizontal areas is 20.82%, other areas are paved surfaces or grassland. We calculated the indices of the quality of green spaces from the individual categories of areas: proportional green area index (PGAI), effective green area index (EGAI) and tree shade index (TSI). The tree species composition consists of 36 deciduous and 11 coniferous tree species, and 20 shrub species. We evaluated the biometric traits of trees as the tree height, crown width, stem girth and tree vitality class (TVC). The correlations between tree traits were statistically tested with a significant result. In the group of biologically active areas of greenery, we propose to increase the proportion of trees, to establish more natural lawns and xerophyte flower beds. In the category of inactive areas, we propose the reconstruction of parking lots to grass paved surfaces.

Land use and land cover (LULC) change are one of the most important signals of regional environmental monitoring and study. Recently, the pull of capital cities has snowballed, an increasing number of people moving to the cities, especially in developing countries. Consequently, as more people arrive at cities, the more pressure will be on land. Land price getting high and constructions try using open green areas. A wide variety of green areas of different sizes will be solve many urban diseases and ecological problems at the same time improve the quality and life of urban residents, as urban green area provides various ecosystem services. The green area includes parks, woodlands, nature reserves and bare lands. With the population increase and expansion of cities, an increasing amount of open area, woodland and bare land has been converted into construction land, buildings due to the increasing demands and residential land. For the accuracy assessment, we applied an automatically supervised classification using the software QGIS 3.18. The reference values were based on ground truth data and visual interpretation.

Indonesia is  a  country consisting of  various islands with an incomparable natural beauty. One of natural charm in Indonesia is green area is rice field. A place where tourists capture photos of those who are amazed by the charm of the rice fields but the more days are increasingly ennoed by the era where the rice field now switches the function of green area into a factory area, housing to the convenience store. The desire of every individual who increasingly wants the day to be more successful but forget how important green sans make the government set a regulation of the restriction of land of rice field and sanctions for someone who intentionally violate Government rules. The rule of government can be realized evenly without any awareness of the community itself, together- just apply an attitude of order of law that makes the government can reorganize the green area that until now still many are switching function . Paddy field beside green area also become place of farmers to try fortune by selling their crops in the form of sweet potatoes, vegetables to rice that become a food staple daily, imagine if one day the country no longer has rice field and continue to buy basic material from the outside make the debt of the country increasingly swollen and green area is one of Indonesia's tourism objects if slow the year is increasingly reduced, also the interest of tourists visit here. The Government also makes regulations that contain protection and empowerment of farmers in the processing of green areas.

The loss of green area has been rising all over the world particularly in big cities. For a number of decades, urban sprawl and developments have changed the natural landscapes of urban areas where areas with green areas have been converted into built up developments and other land uses. Thus this research intends to study the changes of green areas in Kuala Lumpur based on land use detection analysis approach where 3 series of remote sensing images namely SPOT2, SPOT4 and IKONOS for year 1990, 2001 and 2010 have been used to acquire the data on the green area changes aided by ERDAS IMAGINE 2011 and ARGIS 9.2. The finding of the study shows that there is a decrease in the size of green area in Kuala Lumpur from year 1990-2010 due to pressure of urban developments. Two significant factors which contribute to the changes of green area in Kuala Lumpur have been identified in the study, which are the increase in built up areas and sprawl development pattern.

And Behavior

Currently, two main environmental perceptions are recognized: anthropocentrism and ecocentrism. An ecocentric view is associated with childhood, gender and adolescence; nevertheless, there are not studies regarding the effect of school green areas and budget on environmental perception. We analyze the influence of those elements on the environmental perception of 8-9 year old children from eight urban schools in Heredia (Costa Rica). Our survey had 28 statements and questions evaluating contact with green areas, and environmental values, knowledge, attitude and behavior. Ecocentrism dominated in schools with female students or more than 30% green area (X2= 18,5; p=0,002; X2= 14,8, p=0,011). However, boys and girls are both mostly ecocentric, they differ only on the intensity. Budget and total green area were not significant. To encourage sustainable development, an ecocentric perception must be strengthened; green areas must be improved and more attention should be paid to boys’ environmental perception.

The Urban Green Areas System (UGAS) performs relevant functions for the quality of life by making cities healthier, which has become even more necessary in the current period of pandemic. However, even with these benefits, the practice of urban management indicates difficulties not only in the implementation, but also in the maintenance of the UGAS. One of the aspects that may explain the challenge of implementing and maintaining green areas in cities is the absence of regulatory instruments and financial incentives that support this system. In this line, in order to contribute to this discussion, one of the instruments that proved to be effective in environmental management will be studied, in this case for the creation and implementation of Conservation Units: the “ICMS Ecológico”. This article will study the characteristics of the UGAS associated with ecological and urban functions; the logic of adopting the “ICMS Ecológico” and will seek to define criteria that can be used for the implementation of a UGAS that prioritizes ecosystem thinking associated with the function of urban health. We started with the discussion about the mechanisms for adopting the “ICMS Ecológico” and followed the analysis of the standards established in the states for its application. As a result, it was found that there are similarities that can be applied to an implementation in the urban green area systems, which allowed the recommendation of criteria that can be used as a reference for the application of the “ICMS Ecológico” to support the UGAS and the promotion of healthier cities.
