| Summary: | Green areas were analyzed in a tourist district in the city of Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil, based on the criteria of spatialization and conservation. Pajuçara was taken as an object of study because it presents different forms of land occupation, despite its reduced territorial dimension. The method consisted of cartographic analysis of existing green areas and on-site visits in order to verify the conservation status of green areas and vegetation. The results showed an uneven distribution of green areas, whose concentration is linked to the enhancement of the tourist seafront and its surroundings with high-end buildings and hotels, in contrast to the internal fraction of the neighborhood, occupied by a population with less economic power, where the areas green is nonexistent.
