Abstract(s)
As coberturas verdes são um tipo de infraestrutura que traz várias vantagens na mitigação dos impactos
das alterações climáticas e dos problemas decorrentes da rápida urbanização e aumento da população.
Para conhecer a perceção dos cidadãos que trabalham perto destas infraestruturas, na cidade de Lisboa,
foi realizado um questionário relativamente ao seu conhecimento sobre coberturas verdes e sobre
biodiversidade e a problemática da sua perda. Observou-se que ainda há alguma dúvida quanto ao que
são exatamente as coberturas verdes, apesar disso, o conhecimento quanto às suas vantagens e o
reconhecimento como uma mais-valia para as cidades revelou-se bastante positivo. As vantagens ao
nível da qualidade do ar, eficiência energética e biodiversidade, foram as mais reconhecidas. A opinião
dos inquiridos foi bastante favorável aos incentivos para instalação de coberturas verdes sob a forma de
benefícios fiscais. Também se observou que há uma relação entre ter contacto com a natureza mais
frequentemente e saber o que são coberturas verdes. O termo biodiversidade e a consciência da sua perda
parece estar bem estabelecida na população de Lisboa. As ações que contribuem para travar a perda de
biodiversidade, indicadas como mais praticadas, são a reciclagem, a procura por hábitos de consumo
responsáveis e hábitos alimentares sustentáveis. Uma boa percentagem de cidadãos indicou ter contacto
com a natureza na sua vida diária, no entanto, no futuro, com o crescimento do número de habitantes e
do edificado, se não houver uma preocupação em aumentar também os espaços verdes na cidade, isto
poderá alterar-se. A ciência cidadã forneceu-nos dados que permitiram mostrar a importância destas
infraestruturas para a biodiversidade de Lisboa. Além disto, tem o potencial para ajudar a conectar os
cidadãos com a natureza e poder ser um fator de reforço da motivação dos cidadãos para tomar decisões
que protejam a biodiversidade.
Green roofs are a type of infrastructure that brings several advantages in mitigating the impacts of climate change and the problems arising from rapid urbanization and population growth. To understand the perception of citizens who work near these infrastructures, in the city of Lisbon, a questionnaire was carried out regarding their knowledge about green roofs and biodiversity and the problem of its loss. It was noted that there is still some doubt as to exactly what green roofs are, despite this, knowledge of their advantages and recognition as an added value for cities proved to be very positive. The advantages in terms of air quality, energy efficiency and biodiversity were the most widely recognized. Respondents were very supportive of green roof incentives in the form of tax benefits. It was also noted that there is a link between more frequent contact with nature and knowing what green roofs are. The term biodiversity and the awareness of its loss seems to be well established among Lisbon's population. The actions that contribute to prevent biodiversity loss, indicated as most practiced, are recycling, the search for responsible consumption habits and sustainable eating habits A good percentage of citizens reported having contact with nature in their daily lives, however, in the future, with the growth in the number of inhabitants and buildings, if there is no concern to also increase green spaces in the city, this could change. Citizen science has provided data that has shown the importance of these infrastructures for Lisbon's biodiversity. Furthermore, it has the potential to help connect citizens with nature and can be a factor in reinforcing their motivation to make decisions that protect biodiversity.
