Estudo sobre índice de qualidade das calçadas na região central de Anápolis.

Abstract

The sidewalks of cities are a very important space for the population that travels through them daily. This place is often overlooked by those who should care for and keep them in perfect conditions of use, providing quality and comfort to their users. In this way, in order to know the level of quality of the sidewalks in the city of Anápolis-Goiás, in particular the streets General Joaquim Inácio and Engenheiro Portela, located in the central region, an opinion survey was carried out on the level of quality of the sidewalks of these streets. Indicators such as accessibility, safety, security, permeability, visual attractiveness, maintenance and effective width were addressed, graded from 0 to 10 per indicator and classified in order from 1 to 7 of the level of importance. With the data obtained, the IQC Method (Sidewalk Quality Index) elaborated by Ferreira and Sanches (2001) was used. This method consists of the analysis through the quality indicators according to the perception of the responding users. This method makes it possible to know the perception of these users about the level of quality of the currently studied sidewalks.
