How do citizens perceive these spaces? Which behavioural patterns do they exhibit? Which key advantages and limitations do they most often associate with these spaces? This article presents the results of a study undertaken in the city of Bragan&ccedil;a, which aimed at assessing how the city&#8217;s resident population perceives and uses its public green spaces. Among other conclusions, it was found: i) that the various social groups exhibit different use patterns; ii) that these use patterns are strongly characterised by seasonality; iii) that age is a significant determinant of the degree of preference for, alternatively, built facilities and natural elements; and iv) that the city&#8217;s inhabitants consider the local green spaces to be of generally good quality, and generally acknowledge most of their social and environmental benefits. </p>      <p><b><i>Key words:</i></b> Green spaces, urban environment, social perceptions, behaviours, Bragan&ccedil;a. </p>      <p>&nbsp;</p>      <p><b>Comportements et perceptions relatifs aux espaces verts de la ville de Bragan&ccedil;a (Portugal).</b></p>      <p><b>R&Eacute;SUM&Eacute;</b> &#8211; En &eacute;poque de forte urbanisation, les espaces verts sont d&#8217;importants &eacute;l&eacute;ments structurants, qui am&eacute;liorent l&#8217;environnement urbain.
