But in these assessments the weights of attributes cited by users of urban green parks through the perspective of ambience are not the same. A data collection was carried out from December 2017 to March 2018, through semi-structured interviews with 77 users from 17 parks in the city of Belo Horizonte MG. The analysis of the data was performed through the thematic grouping of the categories and the most frequent attributes reported by the interviewees. The data matrix is part of an ongoing study that aimed to evaluate the quality of green parks from the perspective of the user.
