Análise do tema transporte cicloviário, por meio do cálculo de indicadores de mobilidade urbana sustentável, no Município de Jataí - Goiás

Abstract

Disorderly growth is one of the problems to be faced in the area of urban planning, which brings consequences such as pollution, increase in the car fleet, among other issues that influence the quality of life in urban centers. That said, one of the methods for evaluating sustainable urban mobility is the study and application of indicators in the planning stage. As a tool to analyze and determine aspects related to mobility, urban indicators can be an excellent choice to detect problems in the local socioeconomic and environmental scope. Based on the above, it is clear the importance of planning and promoting the use of non-motorized modes, with a focus on cycling in the urban space. As a result, this research is based on the calculation of urban mobility indicators in the non-motorized modes domain, based on the classification of Costa (2008), and its study area is the city of Jataí, Goiás. The necessary data were collected with the help of the Jataí City Hall, and from the application of a questionnaire. The calculations of three indicators related to the domain Non-motorized modes were carried out, in the theme of Bicycle Transport. The results found were analyzed in order to make a comparation between this and other studies carried out in other cities in Brazil. The indicators obtained in this research can be instruments for the assessment and monitoring of aspects related to cycle transport, with regard to the extension and connectivity of cycle paths, bicycle fleet and bicycle parking in the city of Jataí
