Um Passo Para A Autonomia Urbana - Plano de circulação para modais não motorizados e transporte público coletivo no bairro do Altiplano Cabo Branco, João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

This work aims to develop a circulation plan at the level of preliminary study for non-motorized modes and public transport in the Altiplano Cabo Branco neighborhood, located on the south coast of the city of João Pessoa. Thus, it was necessary initially, by means of appropriate literature, to understand the strategies involved in a circulation plan, as well as their reflexes for users and in the urban space. Then, once the neighborhood formation process and the construction of its road network became known, it was questioned what the consequences and the subjects of this structure are and how the scenario could be modified to make the urban space more autonomous, since the neighborhood is isolated from the urban fabric of the city and has different sectors of occupation. To answer these questions, the work starts the diagnosis of the area, studying the first zoning processes, which showed the strong influence of the legislation that diverged from each other and directly affected how the neighborhood was being occupied and sectorized, the relationship of the State with private capital, speculative growth over the area and the reproduction of this history in the constitution of urban mobility in the neighborhood. Soon after, the diagnosis of the physical-spatial configuration, the forms of appropriation and the technical devices that made up the circulation within the Altiplano and from it to neighboring neighborhoods was made, based on on-site visits, applied interviews of the bibliographic references and preparation systematic maps in the Quantum GIS program. At this stage, a road system was built to meet the needs of private automotive vehicles that neglects pedestrian movement, due to the lack of sidewalks, irregular sidewalks and full of obstacles, for cyclists, as there is no network that allows access to the interior. the neighborhood and users of public transport, the lack of bus lines that access the neighborhood, the lack of intra-neighborhood routes and their surroundings and the distances between the stops. Thus, once the current circulation dynamics of the Altiplano Cabo Branco are understood, the study of related projects is carried out to assist in the redesign strategies that can be applied to the local scenario, so that they overlap and constitute a plan for the redesign of the neighborhood circulation. The proposals developed at this stage indicate solutions that make the place safer and more accessible for pedestrians, cyclists and users of public transport through road restructuring
