RESUMO:

As presupposition that the contact with the nature offers potential and restorative benefits to the human development, while at the same time it recovers a consciousness to the importance of the preservation of these natural areas, this study aims to the existing relationship between children and protected natural environment in the cities from a phenomenological perspective. We ask ourselves how the relationship between children and nature happens in a developing country, which focuses especially on children contiguous experiences in Brazilian reality urban context. As a working hypothesis it is defended that, although currently children who live in our cities have less direct and everyday contact with nature, the place of living and social arrangement differs, makes possible and empowers this relationship. In order to investigate the appropriation of these environments for the children and the identified affordances in the child-nature interrelation, the study has among environmental psychology its theoretical-methodological basis. It was delimited empirically as the unit of studies the city of Natal-RN form the spatial cut of its ‘Zonas de Proteção Ambiental’ (ZPA's – Environmental Protection Zones), including the social cut of living children in these surroundings, characterized by informal settlements, setting a context of socioenvironmental vulnerability. Therefore, the general goal of this empirical research is to understand how children who live in the ZPA's area of Natal are related to these protected environments. Methodologically the research assumes an ethnographic posture and will use a multi-method approach. As contributions, we understand that the understanding of child-nature relationship in the Brazilian reality is essential to recognize the different contexts and environmental interactions, to think about the quality of life in the childhood and the free spots in our cities, besides being able to subsidize public policies aimed at promotion and preservation of this interaction.
