Análise qualitativa da arborização viária do Centro-Sul da cidade de Teresina - PI

Abstract

The population currently lives mostly in cities and within this context, rethinking the city's forestation is paramount, since it is shown as one of the fundamental factors that aims to benefit a better quality of life and well-being for the population in terms of ecosystem. The objective of this work was to analyze the vegetative species used in the forestation of public roads in Teresina - PI and to create a bank of native species suitable for afforestation of public roads. The avenues selected for study were Avenida Joaquim Ribeiro, Avenida Barão de Gurguéia, Avenida Industrial Gil Martins, Avenida Miguel Rosa, Avenida Nações Unidas, Avenida Pedro Freitas and Avenida Valter Alencar and a stretch of Avenida Maranhão. The method used for research was the inductive, observational and the monographic method, and the type of research defined was qualitative. The results of this research showed that: tour widths and types of electrical networks do not form a pattern along the tracks; most of the species identified have at least some type of planting restriction due to their size, DBH, morphology or phenology; Many conflicts have been identified, such as the touch of canopies in the nets, breaking of sidewalks and central beds by the trunk or roots of trees, the disposition of individuals in inappropriate places, among others; a table of suggested species for planting Teresina public roads was created, which can be planted according to the width of the walk and the presence of electric networks; Finally, the interview with the CPMA advisor revealed that they have been working constantly to maintain the city together with SEMAM and SDUs, however, they do not have technical criteria for planting species for suitable sites. With the results obtained it was possible to notice that there is no adequate technical planning for the city, which makes the projects elaborated by the city council and the planting done by the population something problematic, since without basic and technical criteria, the inadequate planting negatively impacts the structures urban areas and biodiversity itself, and the lack of an adequate environmental education program causes people's lack of awareness and awareness of the importance of planting properly
