The presence of tree cover in urban spaces is essential for enhancing their environmental and aesthetic qualities and for promoting the attractiveness of streets, squares, and parks. This article analyzes the distribution of trees in Santos Dumont Square, located in Florianópolis (SC), from the perspective of its users, aiming to identify whether this arrangement is satisfactory. The methodology employed includes on-site observation, tree mapping, and the administration of questionnaires to visitors. The results reveal concerns related to the design aspects of the space, particularly the lack of tree coverage in extensive areas, resulting in excessive sun exposure and negatively impacting people's motivation to frequent the area.
