Parques urbanos de Salvador/BA: o papel da mobilidade no acesso aos espaços verdes públicos.

Abstract

Urban parks are public spaces designed for natural preservation. Green areas that allow free and democratic leisure, essential for the well-being and quality of life in the city. The objective of this research is to analyze the main access options to the ten urban parks in Salvador / Ba, through road infrastructure, public transport, services and complementary equipment. It seeks to understand how aspects of urban mobility in the city promote greater and better visitation to its parks. The analyzes cover the description of the parks, the surrounding neighborhoods, the road infrastructure and the collective public transport system. The results obtained point to a visible sociospatial segregation present throughout the city and the historical lack of equipment and public services in certain neighborhoods, in addition, the lack of assistance in the Suburbia region. Thus, the purpose of the research is to demonstrate the importance of public green spaces, confirming that in addition to the implantation of parks, it is essential to effectively plan urban mobility that results in greater incentives for use and visitation, corroborating with the legitimate democratization of the city.
