Gestão ambiental de espaços verdes urbanos públicos para a prática de esportes

Abstract

This research characterizes the environmental management of public urban green spaces destined to the practice of sports. The research is exploratory-descriptive, documental and formulated from content analysis. The instruments of data collection were informal conversations and semi-structured interviews around plans, projects and / or programs related to the municipal public policy of environmental management, indissociated from the practice of sports. The results of the research demonstrate the existence of environmental management, planning and execution of public policies to practice sports in green areas within urban public spaces in the city of Aracaju. Environmental management is developed based on bureaucratic principles of government. The following stand out: (a) there is a multidisciplinary team working in strategic sectors of the municipal public administration; (b) there is relative autonomy of decision, mainly, in relation to environmental education plans, projects and programs; (c) quality of life is a common theme among environmental managers; (d) there is a lack of knowledge management within the bodies involved, that is, access to information on projects, plans and programs becomes very difficult; (e) the practice of sports in green areas of the public space does not have a definition of central interest for managers.
