Sonhos verdes: avaliação do Programa Adoção de Praças e Áreas Verdes do município de Fortaleza

Abstract

The study deals with the evaluation of the Programa Adoção de Praças e Áreas Verdes (PRAPAV) of the city of Fortaleza. Coordinated by the Coordenado pela Secretaria Municipal de Urbanismo e Meio Ambiente of the municipality, the PRAPAV since 2014 has been seeking through partnerships between the community and the municipal public power aid in the urbanization and maintenance of public squares, parks, flower beds and gardens, as well as the sensitization of citizens, in the sense of developing preservationist habits. In view of the main objective, we have questioned how the interests of social actors involved in the Programa Adoção de Praças e Áreas Verdes are presented. For the accomplishment of the main objective of the study, to evaluate the Program in question, through the Fourth Generation Evaluation, we base the research: in the analysis of urban planning in the construction of urban policies in Brazil and in the municipality of Fortaleza; in the presentation of legal frameworks and urban policy instruments in Brazil that encouraged the construction of the Program and analysis of the data and maps of the Program through the territorialities of the city of Fortaleza. Through the content present in the interviews conducted with the City Hall of Fortaleza, the adopter and users of Praça Martins Dourado raised the interests of the interviewees and conducted the Evaluation Report. We conclude that the Program represents a gain for the promotion of social and leisure spaces in promoting well-being and more accessible cities. However, we point out that the City Hall needs to create mechanisms to monitor and control the services provided by the adopters and to enable more democratic means for the participation of the population in the Program in the search for the improvement of the quality of the service provided.
