A importância da biodiversidade vegetal sobre aspectos físicos e concepções da população da região urbana do município de Cajazeiras - PB.

Abstract

The urban environment is distinguishes the numerous differences with the natural environment, especially the growing process of urbanization that has caused significant changes in biodiversity and thereby caused global problems such as increasing temperature in urban centers. For this reason, it is essential to the vegetation in the cities in an attempt to alleviate this temperature, especially in semi-arid regions. The city of Cajazeiras-PB, like most Brazilian cities, is expanding in a disorderly way and biodiversity is increasingly cut off. The city has high temperatures and vegetation can reduce the problem of focus of heat. Based on these considerations, this study aims to investigate the practices and population values with plant biodiversity in the city of Cajazeiras- PB. Therefore, we used as a methodology to qualitative and quantitative research, exploratory and descriptive, based on field of study, and as research tool photography and questionnaires. It was found that the city of Cajazeiras- PB has little plant biodiversity in urban areas; that mostcultivated speciesare exoticto in detriment ofnative andthatdespite the lowvegetable biodiversitypopulationhas positivevalues aboutthe same.
