This article aims to analyze the relationship between the spatial morphology and the perception of the users. The intention was to understand, what aspects indicated by the literature are perceived by the users and how this influences the vitality of a public space. The case study included the use of site-based behavioral mapping, in-place physical surveys, as well as photographic records. The results showed that spaces to sit, the state of conservation and maintenance, the presence of afforestation and landscaping, the aesthetics of the place, besides the characteristics of the use of the surrounding soil, are perceived by the users and are reflected in the ways of using the place . It is considered that, although the design elements and the combination of these are a potentiator in the uses, people's perception of the space and the environment in which it is found must be taken as a reference in the proposition of public spaces.
