Multiescalas de análise urbana para sistemas cicloviários

Abstract

The proposition of mobility systems for bicycles has become a focus in recent years due to displacement problems presented in major cities. The present study sought to explore methods of evaluation of urban space in different scales in order to verify the conjoint applicability of such methodologies in order to a better effective reading of the urban space, serving as a subsidy to the urban planner in structures proposition intended for non-motorized modes, specifically the cycleways system. It was sought to assess which methodologies, qualitative and quantitative, implemented together, can support the transportation planning by bicycle. The application of methodologies in several scales served as subsidy for the definition of areas to be evaluated, where the crop began in a city scale and finished on a local scale, through the neighborhood scale. Reading the urban space using different scales allow better understanding of the urban area as a whole and the aspects that induce people to use non-motorized models, especially the bicycle.
