Caminhabilidade Urbana: Análise de condições atuais e propostas de intervenção nas vias estruturantes de Miramar, João Pessoa- PB

Abstract

This final project arose from the evident imbalance between the road and pedestrian infrastructure in João Pessoa. The main objective is to investigate the current conditions of the sidewalks and develop a preliminary proposal for the requalification of the most critical sections of the main roads in the Miramar neighborhood in João Pessoa (PB), including the streets Tito Silva, Antônio Rabelo Junior, Hilda Coutinho Lucena and Avenida Epitácio Pessoa. The study analyzes aspects such as the sidewalk infrastructure, pedestrian flow and the width of the roads under current conditions. The methodology applied involved the collection of field data, the mapping of the roads and the evaluation of categories that impact walkability. The results indicate the need for significant improvements in the infrastructure, especially in relation to the width of the sidewalks, shading, accessibility and safety. Based on this, two requalification interventions were proposed, which aim to adapt the urban space, especially the sidewalks, to the needs of pedestrians, contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of residents and users.
