<p>A arborização nas escolas exerce papel importante na melhoria desses ambientes, tornando-os mais atrativos e agradáveis para a comunidade educacional e serve como exemplo e fonte de aprendizagem contínua. Assim, objetivou-se fazer o levantamento das espécies e índices arbóreos em nove escolas no município de Formoso do Araguaia, Tocantins. O referido estudo foi realizado em nove escolas públicas do município, desconsiderando-se as escolas particulares. Para saber o número de alunos existentes, cada escola forneceu a relação dos matriculados no período. Fez-se o senso e a identificação da vegetação arbórea presente nos pátios das nove unidades. Os dados de altura foram levantados com auxílio de um clinômetro, com uma trena coletou-se o diâmetro de copa e o tamanho da área de cada pátio escolar e através do Microsoft Excel fez-se os cálculos dos índices de Densidade Arbórea (IDA), Sombreamento Arbóreo (ISA) e de Área Verde (IAVE). Nas escolas foram encontrados 158 indivíduos pertencentes a 14 famílias botânicas representadas por 27 espécies, distribuídas em 15 nativas e 12 exóticas. A escola João Queiroz destacou-se com o melhor ISA (28,19%) e a Hermínio Azevedo Soares pode ser considerada como referência pelos índices encontrados (ISA=19,037% e IDA=0,97%).  As espécies nativas mais frequentes foram <em>Licania tomentosa </em>(Benth.) Fritsch<em>, Mangifera indica</em> L. e <em>Cassia fistula </em>L. Os maiores índices arbóreos (IDA e ISA) foram verificados nas escolas João Queiroz e Hermínio Azevedo Soares e o menor na Silas Raimundo Milhomem dos Santos. </p><p align="center"><strong><em>Floristic diversity and arboreal indices of schools in Formoso do Araguaia municipality, Tocantins</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The afforestation in schools plays an important role in improving these environments, making them more attractive and enjoyable for the educational community and serves as an example and source of continuous learning. Thus, the objective was to make a survey of arboreal species and indices found in nine schools in Formoso do Araguaia, Tocantins. This study was carried out in nine public schools in the city, disregarding private schools. To know the number of existing students, each school provided the list of those enrolled in the period. The sense and the identification of the arboreal vegetation present in the schoolyards of the nine units were made. The height data were collected with the aid of a clinometer, with a measuring tape was collected the tree crown diameter and the area of each schoolyard and through Microsoft Excel the calculations of the Arboreal Density Index (ADI), Shading Arboreal Index (SAI) and Green Area Index (GAI). In schools were found 158 individuals belonging to 14 botanical families represented by 27 species, distributed in 15 native and 12 exotic. The João Queiroz school excelled with the best SAI (28.19%) and the Herminio Azevedo Soares school can be considered as reference by the indices found (SAI = 19.037% and ADI = 0.97%). The most frequent native species were <em>Licania tomentosa</em> (Benth.) Fritsch, <em>Mangifera indica</em> L. and <em>Cassia fistula</em> L. The largest arboreal indices (ADI and SAI) were observed at schools João Queiroz and Herminio Azevedo Soares and the lowest indices at Silas Milhomem Raimundo dos Santos school.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

In Burkina Faso, insufficient or partial information exists on the forest potential of urban areas, marked mainly by the introduction of many exotic species. The objective of this study was to assess the floristic diversity of city trees, to reveal the benefits and risks associated with their properties in a context of climate change, increasing demography and accelerated urbanization. Surveys on 49 urban municipalities were conducted from 2015 to 2020 to identify and describe species at different phenological stages to enable photographic image recognition. Confirmations are made with floras, previous works and documentary compilations. The analyses relate to the biological diversity of species, their origins and uses. The floristic diversity of Burkina Faso's city trees consists of 251 species belonging to 174 genera and 58 families. It is comprised of 178 introduced species and 73 native species. The most represented families are Arecaceae with 7.97% of species, Euphhorbiaceae (7.57%), Moraceae (6.37%), Fabaceae - Mimosoideae (5.98%), Apocynaceae (5.98%) and the Fabaceae - Caesalpinioideae (5.58%). The most common species are Khaya senegalensis, Mangifera indica and Azadirachta indica. This work has helped to characterize the city trees of Burkina Faso. It will update the flora of the country, which is enriched with 36 new exotic species.Keywords: Urban tree, characterization, biological diversity, communes.

The green area index is one of the parameters used to scale the life’s quality of a city. Thus, the objective was to carry out the survey of green area index from Lavras-MG, in two different periods, with an interval of 10 years, making a comparative analysis of the index evolution in this period. It was carried out the assessment of the number of city squares, as well as its area and calculate the green area index. It was considered appropriate for this index, public areas located in urban area and over 70% of the permeable area. For determine this index, it was calculated the sum of the total area of the squares divided by the number of inhabitants of the city. It is concluded that green area index in Lavras-MG is 0.42 m²/ inhabitant. There was an increase of 12% compared to the diagnosis realized in 2001, but lower than that proposed by the Brazilian Society for Urban Forestation, 15 m²/inhabitant.

O trabalho objetivou calcular e espacializar o Índice de Áreas Verdes Públicas (IAVP) para a cidade de Juiz de Fora – MG. O IAVP foi calculado com base em fotos aéreas datadas do ano de 2000 e 2007, e no Censo demográfico de 2000 e 2010, as áreas verdes tiveram alterações pouco significativas de suas áreas nesse período. Verificou-se um IAV de 10,5 m2/hab para toda a cidade, para o período estudado. Os dados apontam um reduzido IAV por Regiões Urbanas, e mostram a necessidade de uma política pública que busque a criação de áreas verdes, sobretudo para atenderem às regiões periféricas da cidade, onde há maior concentração populacional, menor renda per capita e menor IAV, pois, as áreas verdes é um dos elementos que proporcionam à população melhores condições de vida.Palavras-chave: Índice de áreas verdes públicas, Cobertura vegetal, qualidade de vida.AbstractThe study aimed to calculate and spatializing green area index for the city of Juiz de Fora - MG.

In order to achieve the EU emission reduction goals, it is essential to renovate the building stock, by improving energy efficiency and promoting total decarbonisation. According to the 2018/844/EU Directive, 3% of Public Administration buildings should be renovated every year. So as to identify the measures to be applied in those buildings and obtain the greatest reduction in energy consumption at the lowest cost, the Directive 2010/31/EU proposed a cost-optimisation-based methodology. The implementation of this allowed to carry out studies in detail in actual scenarios for the energy renovation of thermal envelopes of public schools in the city of Valencia. First, primary school buildings were analysed and classified into three representative types. For each type, 21 sets of measures for improving building thermal envelopes were proposed, considering the global cost, in order to learn about the savings obtained, the repayment term for the investment made, the percentage reduction in energy consumption and the level of compliance with regulatory requirements. The result and conclusions will help Public Administration in Valencia to draw up an energy renovation plan for public building schools in the city.

This cultural analysis explores how D.C. natives represented themselves on Twitter via #DCNativesDay. The analysis found that Twitter users engaged in hashtag activism to share stories about their connection to place(s) (e.g., movie theaters, neighborhoods, public schools) in the city that were integral in the construction of their individual and collective Black D.C. native identities. Constructed identities were not monolithic, and users engaged in some self-reflexivity. The users’ emphasis on place seemed to signify reclamation of changing city landscapes and legitimacy in the city. Ultimately, this research raises questions about how alternative representations that map marginalized communities onto city spaces in online spaces can create possibilities of transformation for Black communities during gentrification in offline spaces.

For most buildings considered to be of a public non-residential type there are insufficient published data to establish and compare the theoretical standards with actual consumption data. Therefore, water consumption per user in non-residential buildings is still a very complicated issue for engineers and designers involved in analysing water demand and water management. This is why linking water consumption and school occupancy is the goal of this paper, trying to set the basis for further design, conservation and educational interventions on this topic. This research integrates quantitative data of water consumption, through water metering and analysis, and historical data about users in buildings. We focused on consumptions for four types of schools: nurseries (0–3-year-old children), kindergartens (3–6 years), elementary schools (6–11 years) and secondary 1st grade schools (11–14 years). The results are that the rational basic demand for water is estimated as 48.8 l per pre-school student per day and 18.7 l per elementary/secondary school student per day. Therefore we found that younger children use more water on a daily basis than older ones, probably because they need more services, such as laundries and kitchens, whereas older students consume water mainly in restrooms.

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.

Grounded Theory Approach

In the midst of the epoch of the Urban Anthropocene, citizen engagement is an important step on the path of creating local and global sustainability. However, the factors that motivate civic urban dwellers to become voluntary stewards of nature environments inside cities need research. This is an empirical study based on deep interviews and a grounded theory approach focused on the “inner world” of people in Warsaw, Poland, that engage in green area stewardship. Our approach reveals a commonly shared vision as the prime motivator powering agency in green area stewardship. This vision was articulated as creating a countryside within the city characterized by a stronger sense of community, a shared sense of place and an enhanced connection with nature. While other studies have found inner values or direct benefits as motivating factors for engaging in urban stewardship, we instead found a green vision for re-designing what the “urban” could be like as the prime motivator for transformation—a vision with potential global sustainability implications.
