Conexão e produção do espaço urbano: estratégias de mobilidade entre a Avenida Menino Marcelo e a AL 101 Norte

Abstract

The existing connection between Avenida Menino Marcelo and AL-101 was only possible with the opening of Avenida Pierre Chalita, which was carried out in 2011, with the aim of reducing traffic between the main axes of the city. With the implementation of the road, the mobility of the four neighborhoods that border it (Serraria, Barro Duro, Jacarecica and São Jorge) was affected, having both positive and negative impacts. This work proposes to carry out an analysis of the mobility conditions presented in the area. Methodologically, the following stages were developed: (i) characterization of the occupation of the region, taking as a basis the chronology of the implementation of the main types of housing developments, (ii) survey of the main mobility actions undertaken by the public authorities, (iii) analysis of the situation of the roads that are part of this connection, and finally, (iv) evaluation of the mobility conditions, highlighting aspects related to the concepts of urban mobility. The analyses allowed to reconstruct the historical process of occupation as the evolution of the neighborhoods took place over the decades and to highlight some similarities between them, identifying common characteristics between them. The result of the mobility actions implemented made it clear that the car was the main beneficiary user and, with regard to the roads, it was possible to verify whether they take into account active mobility, identifying the obstacles that may interfere with travel. With the synthesis of the analysis, the work also presented as a final product possibilities of (re)thinking solutions that will improve the quality of urban mobility of the roads studied.
