Riverine scenearies in Teresina, Piauí

Abstract

Riverine landscapes, as scenes of environmental and social relations, are important actors in cities. In this sense, the twelve environmental parks located on the banks of the Parnaíba and Poti rivers, in the city of Teresina-PI, stand out for this study. Thus, this research intends to highlight the importance of river banks with the use of environmental parks and their current conditions of integration with the city. For analysis, site visits and photographic records were carried out, as well as analysis of the main uses in the parks. Based on the analyzes carried out, ten parks border the Poti River, meaning that this river maintains a concentration of parks in Teresina. It was possible to see that the riverside parks in Teresina represent important examples, within the urban scenario. Therefore, the implementation of these spaces, with their effective conservation and use, represents an important environmental planning strategy for cities.
