Abstract

The present work consists in the reasoning research for the implemation of the VLT system in the city of Almirante Tamadaré, Paraná, with the TOD – Transit-Oriented Development. Throught the research of Theoretical Reference it was possible to understand the definition of urban space as well as it’s process. It was also of paramount importance to trace a history of the evolution of urbanization in reaching the emergence of the great metropolises and their ills; in sequence, topics related to urban mobility were addressed, and issues related to their development in conjunction with sustainable transport were studied, as well as concepts linked to urban rail transport, and the light rail system (LRT). Proceeded to a study around the history and context of the municipality, including its insertion in the region metropolitan area of Curitiba; for this purpose, a diagnosis of its main socioeconomic and physical-territorial aspects was carried out, seeking to understand how the road and rail infrastructure unfolds in the municipality’s space. Based on the data studied, a search was made for national and international case studies, which fit in some way to the assumption of this work, which are used as references for the development of design guidelines, and the development of the project. Finally, with the support of the topics studied, pre-constructive parameters were established for the implementation of the LRT project, such as the delimitation of the intervention area, definition of modes and urban routes and policies, in order to minimize the conflicts related urban mobility.
