Praças públicas de Jataí-GO: análise da conservação das calçadas

Abstract

The analysis of the conservation of sidewalks in public squares is a primordial and necessary study to guarantee the minimum of satisfaction on the part of the users of these spaces, thus guaranteeing to the citizens the exercise of their rights guaranteed by the federal constitution. When we observe the city of Jatai - Goiás, we discover that most of its squares were founded in the past decades, in this period there was no greater care with themes such as accessibility, walkability and others. This study proposes to highlight the state of conservation of these sidewalks, establishing a cut of the 10 squares present in the 10 most populous neighborhoods of the city of Jatai - Goiás, making use of one of the indicators of the ITDP tool (Institute of Transport and Development Policies), duly adapted for this research. This methodology allows assigning grades to the sidewalk on items such as flooring material, sidewalk width, accessibility and others, which will result in an analysis of these items. The results obtained showed how much progress is still needed in some issues, such as accessibility, it is hoped that this work can help future public policies, in order to solve the evidential problems.
