Levantamento comparativo de indicadores de uso e ocupação do solo, com enfoque no transporte não motorizado, em zonas urbanas.

Abstract

In this work, a survey of Sustainable Mobility indicators was made based on land use and occupation in the city of João Pessoa - PB. The set of indicators is intended to help public managers and future research in urban areas regarding sustainable mobility and the management of public spaces in the city. This set was developed from analyzes of projects and similar works that sought strategies and policies for territorial occupation and transport for sustainable development. For that, a method of calculation of these indicators was used, which represented a comparison between two regions of the city with distinct economic and social characteristics. The regions are: region 1 (between Centro and Jaguaribe districts) and region 2 (between Manaíra and Jardim Oceania districts). As a focus of urban sustainability, the indicators are mostly focused on non-motorized transport. Furthermore, commercial zones also play an important role in relation to sustainable mobility and are also considered for comparative calculation. The indicators and their comparative results, respectively, for regions 1 and 2 are: (1) share of roads with sidewalks – region 1: 75.44% and region 2: 97.33%; (2) portion of intersections with crosswalks – region 1: 39.02% and region 2: 32.22%; (3) extension of cycle paths – region 1: 7.72% and region 2: 0.00%; (4) extension of cycle lanes – region 1: 5.71% and region 2: 18.49%; (5) diversity of commercial use and services – region 1: 76.82% and region 2: 53.90%; (6) loading and unloading bays – region 1: 1.20% and region 2: 0.00%. Therefore, these results indicate the lack of a systemic analysis on the subject by the responsible managers of the municipality and also of initiatives that facilitate the use of non-motorized transport in the studied regions and indicate the interference that commercial areas have on urban characteristics.
