MATTOS, Karina  and  CONSTANTINO, Norma. Benefits of urban green spaces: valuation and evaluation by population. GOT [online]. 2019, n.16, pp.227-249. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2019.16.010.

The importance of the green spaces for the conformation of the landscape, the planning of cities and citizens´ life quality has led to their increasing valuation. However, the contemporary view based on their multifunctionality has brought new challenges to urban projects. So, to understand how different instances of society evaluate the benefits associated to the urban green spaces has been fundamental to development and application of more adequate strategies and public policy of planning and management. In this paper, it has been explored the results of a research carried out with Brazilian city residents of Botucatu and Bauru (SP), by the Best-Worst Scaling (BWS). The results have demonstrated that the benefits are not equally valued in both urban areas, although there have been some similarities.

Keywords : urban green spaces; benefits of urban green spaces; Best-Worst Scaling (BWS); public politics.
