Abstract

Urban green areas (UGA) are open spaces, predominantly with vegetation cover, which generate important ecosystem services to cities, such as microclimate improvement, water security, and physical and mental health of its inhabitants. Usually, UGA are considered as one in urban forest studies, although their land cover and vegetation quality may differ from each other. This research aimed to characterize typologies of urban green areas using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to investigate whether there is a distinction between them. For this, Curitiba was selected as the study area, a city with 18 types of green areas. The NDVI of the municipality, of the green areas altogether, and of each typology was calculated based on a LANDSAT-8 image and classified as water, non-vegetation, grass and or shrub cover, sparse tree cover, or dense tree cover. In addition, descriptive statistical analysis and t-test for equality between means were performed. Results showed differences between most typologies, with high amplitude between minimum, maximum, and mean values, these differing from each other in most cases (72.50%). The proportion occupied by each class also varied between typologies, mainly for grass and or shrub cover (0.00% to 72.22%) and sparse tree cover (5.26% to 80.00%). Therefore, the importance of knowing and qualifying the vegetation of different green areas in future studies is highlighted.
