In the last decades the urban environment has been the subject of studies of many researchers, mainly about themes related to planning and sustainable managing of this space. The topics from these discussions become fundamental to the execution of better practices of environmental quality and life quality for the people. The city of Aracaju, Sergipe State, where this study was conducted, presents a variety of environmental problems that demands the analysis of several parameters and factors related to these themes. As a way of contributing to one more aspect for the discussion of sustainability of the city, the main objective of this research was to analyze the quality of the Public Green Areas System of Aracaju, in order to contribute with information that assist a more suitable planning of these areas. Therefore, the information and data analyzed during this study were organized into 3 chapters. Chapter 1 corresponds to the theory reference that fundaments the main themes approached in this research. Chapter 2 deals with the classification, characterization and mapping of the categories that build the Green Areas System. The results were obtained through the analysis of Secondary Data Bank and field activities, assisted by a Public Area Classification Model (PACM). This way, 313 public areas were identified, classified into three types: (1) areas associated to the road system (avenue islands and roundabouts); (2) areas not associated to protected areas (squares, parks and leisure areas); (3) areas associated to protected areas (Conservation Units and Permanent Preservation Areas). The protected areas are the most meaningful for the System, they occupy 80.6% of all the classified green area, while the other classes occupy only 19.4% of the total. Chapter 3 analyzed and discussed the space rates of the public green areas of the city, which were obtained through interpretation of Quickbird satellite images (2008) and data processing in programs of Geographic Information System (SIG s). The related aspects were evaluated into 3 rates: (1) Green Area Percentage PAV; (2) Tree Coverage Percentage PCA and (3) Public Green Area Rate by Inhabitant IAVP. The PAV was treated as the rate that reflects the environmental quality of the system considering the influence of all areas independently of its quality. The PAV of the city is 14.48% compared to urban areas, the PCA is 9.7% and the IAVP that takes into consideration the evaluation of the socio-environmental function of the green area, was only 3.4m ² of green area per inhabitant. The adopted methodological procedures were considered adequate to identify and qualify the categories of the green areas of the city. Moreover, it was essential to analyze the space rates in a more detailed and objective way.
