Caminhabilidade, paisagem e ambiência no centro histórico de Goiás-GO

Abstract

This article lists the walkability levels in the historic center of the city of Goias, contemplating its cultural landscape in ordinary paths. The investigation was carried out from quantitative and qualitative approaches through three different perspectives: distances travelled; quality of the environments included in the routes, and landscape. As a development of the methodological proceedings and the results found, it sets a discussion about the contribution of studying landscape and environmental qualities as an improvement of the walkability analysis, in an effort to overcome a segmented evaluation of the latter. The results show rates below average for all paths, which would hardly allow Goias to take part in the so-called ‘active cities’ list, due to its deficiencies in the scope of walkability.
