Abstract
This chapter analyzes attributes of open spaces: the biophysical support, visual perception, accessibility, and links to planning rules. The proposal is to evaluate each attribute according to specific parameters and a scale of values. It is thus possible to design an initial approach that can designate territorial open spaces that are most suitable to be preserved as unoccupied areas and those that can be occupied under certain conditions, as part of a system of open spaces. The analysis is based on the following parameters.

The new plans that are being developed for the territorial unit correspond to the Urban Structure Plans (Plano de Estruturação Urbana—PEU) called “Vargens” (which include the mentioned agricultural area) and “Taquara”, covering the neighbourhoods of Vargem Grande, Vargem Pequena, and Camorim, and part of Recreio, in Barra da Tijuca, and the neighbourhoods of Tanque, Taquara, Freguesia and Pechincha, in Jacarepagua.
