| Resumo: | The urban parks are considered appropriate for leisure and scientific studies, besides providing environmental improvements in its surrounds. This study looked for to value, for the method of uncertain valuation, the Municipal Park Sabiá, in Uberlândia-MG, as tool for the preservation existent natural resources and improvement of the administration of this. A questionnaire was used with socioeconomic questions, including information that subsidized the interpretation of the Disposition to Pay (DTP) and Disposition to Receive (DTR) values. In DTP, the high school formation interfered positively in DTP. The knowledge on sustainability interfered positively in DTP. The park visit's frequency and the family income doesn't reach the value of positive DTP. In DTR, the increment of the age generates a positive variation in the value of DTR. The interviewees with better homes have more DTR. The home establishment time doesn't influence in DTR. Knowing the importance of the park for preservation of the Cerrado didn't influence in DTR. Interviewees that are in agreement with the exploration of the park present a larger DTR. The main conclusion appears for an environmental conscience, what evidences the social, cultural and environmental value of the park. |
