Objetivo de estudio: Este estudio investiga si vivir en una casa rodeada de árboles estimula la marcha en el contexto brasileño. Se buscó la correlación entre el Índice de Cobertura Arbórea (TCI) del entorno del hogar del participante y las caminatas semanales realizadas. Además, analizamos la correlación entre la percepción de los participantes sobre la transitabilidad del vecindario y TCI en cinco dimensiones: infraestructura para caminar, seguridad contra el crimen, seguridad para peatones/tránsito, conectividad de calles y acceso a servicios.
Metodología: Se seleccionaron nueve barrios; 3042 participantes respondieron a un cuestionario cara a cara, "Escala de accesibilidad para peatones del entorno del vecindario" (NEWS). Las herramientas de geoprocesamiento calcularon características ambientales individualizadas para el entorno familiar de cada participante.
Originalidad/Relevancia: Promover la movilidad urbana activa reduce las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en las ciudades, lo que a su vez contribuye a los efectos de mitigación del cambio climático. Una ciudad boscosa puede crear un entorno más transitable, una asociación que carece de evidencia empírica en América del Sur.
Principales Resultados: Los resultados indican que las características socioeconómicas del barrio ejercen una influencia significativa en las predicciones de TCI sobre la percepción de Caminabilidad. En particular, la presencia de árboles hizo que los participantes que vivían en vecindarios formales percibieran su entorno como más seguro contra el crimen. Además, los niveles más altos de TCI disminuyen la percepción de los servicios disponibles en los vecindarios de bajos y altos ingresos debido a las áreas verdes más inaccesibles.
Contribuciones: En definitiva, es pertinente que las agencias de urbanismo reconozcan el aporte de los árboles a la calidad de vida en general, extendiendo el concepto de “forestación urbana” para contemplar el impacto social y económico de la ecologización urbana.
