“…In other words, the city can improve its sustainability when having the university campus well located, accessible and planned in sustainable forms. Moreover, for achieving a sustainable university campus, main dimensions of a sustainable university as are natural environment (Melo et al, 2020), social, cultural and economic ones must be considered in the university strategy plan (Lukman and Glavic, 2007). Cultivated squatted urban and peri-urban areas, which undoubtedly the university campuses could be considered as, represent a significant element of the Urban Agriculture (UA) (Tóth and Feriancová, 2015), which, according to Lohrberg (2011) and Lohrberg and Timpe (2012), provides an important contribution to a sustainable and resilient urban development and creation and maintenance of the multifunctional urban landscapes.…”

Every ecosystem on Earth is affected by people as well as has an impact on them. The connection between nature and culture, human knowledge and wisdom of Nature, between us and our environment, is in fact very strong, although sometimes underestimated. It can be promoted by a different way of designing architecture and urban plans – these all should change the quality of our decisions and consequently, once we are acquainted with better options or choices to select, also the quality of our lives will be raised. The Fourth Nature concept is being researched with the goal to identify strategies that create straight connections between culture and Nature, in order to provide humanity with better conditions for living in cities. We are urban beings, living with a current prognosis of being a part of a bigger number of urban dwellers each day. Many different ways the Fourth Nature can be practiced, seen and experienced by in several scales and forms could change our living conglomerates. As valuable places in cities, due to their insertion in the urban tissue and also as coexistence and knowledge development areas, university campuses are here taken to examine this aimed optimal relation between Nature and culture. University campuses have been for centuries an important part of human culture. Creating their own ecosystems, campuses impact on the functioning, sustainability and in the overall also on the appearance of the city, through a blue-green infrastructure implementation and its connections. Within the urban structures, they fulfil their role more significantly and provide important spatial, social, economic, visual and health functions. The area, which is often labelled as public or semi-public space, is thus a part of the blue-green infrastructure and its quality affects also the quality of the surrounding environment. The Fourth Nature is seen as a tool or as a turning point in the current environmental crisis and the university campuses are considered to be the modifiers of the quality of their surrounding environment. The intercrossed analysis of their properties in the current context may bring new ideas and application parameters for the design of the contemporary urban landscape.

“…Conforme observado pelos resultados obtidos nas pesquisas de [27], [28], [29], [30] e [32], o pH ácido presente na área da nascente do igarapé Mindu (Tabela 1 e figura 5), pode ser decorrente da decomposição da matéria orgânica vegetal presente nos sedimentos aluvionares, que gera ácidos húmicos e fúlvicos, segundo [33]e [32]. Isto acontece em função da nascente estar próximo da Reserva Ducke, demonstrando que para águas naturais no Município de Manaus os valores de pH se apresentam entre 3 a 5.…”

“…Entretanto, foi verificado que à medida que o trecho alcança o curso médio para o curso inferior do igarapé Mindu os valores de condutividade elétrica tornam-se descrepantes variando de 250 a 302,3 µS.cm -1 (Tabela 1e figura 6). Estes resultados associados com a alcalinidade da água nestes trechos pode indicar a entrada de efluentes, que segundo [30] e [31], pode ser um indicativo da entrada de poluentes nas áreas urbanizadas que recebem ao longo dos igarapés esgoto domésticos e resíduos sólidos urbanos, ou seja, aumento de nitrato (NO3 -), nitrito (NO2 -), amônia (NH3), nitrogênio molecular (N2), nitrogênio orgânico, ortofosfatos (PO4 3-, HPO42-, H2PO4 1-), polifosfato e fósforo orgânico, Sulfato e cloretos. Figura 6.…”

“…Quanto a estes fatos, [32], afirma que as oscilações da quantidade de O 2 também podem ocorrer por outros fatores: sazonalidade e período diurno (produção de fotossíntese) e noturno. Na visão de [30], os corpos d'água que recebem esgotos in natura sofrem alterações ecológicas decorrentes principalmente da eutrofização, ou seja, a decomposição da matéria orgânica que diminui drasticamente as quantidades de oxigênio dissolvido.…”

The bathhouse of Park 10 the November is bathed by the waters of the Igarapé of M indú in the region of the mouth. The disorderly growth of the city of M anaus, caused by the establishment of the Free Zone, led to the occupation of the marginal areas with emergencies of neighborhoods and anthropic consequences to the streams. In this work, we discuss the contribution of the leisure complex between the years 1943 and 1974, with the evaluation of the physical complex and the analysis of the pool water in the PH parameters, dissolved oxygen (OD), electric conductivity (CE), turbidez e temperatrura, results compared to the studies already carried out in the nascent region, a medium course to enable bathing by stimulating leisure with restrictions to the rainy season (December to M ay) due to diffuse pollution.
