Aplicação do índice de mobilidade urbana sustentável na região central da cidade de Campo Mourão

Abstract

Urban mobility is essential for the sustainable development of cities, especially in densely populated metropolitan areas where population growth has significant shortand long-term impacts. The Sustainable Urban Mobility Index emerges as a valuable tool for analyzing and improving the social, economic, and environmental aspects of municipalities. This study focuses on assessing sustainable urban mobility in the central area of Campo Mourão, using the Sustainable Urban Mobility Index as an analytical tool. The objectives include calculating the Sustainable Urban Mobility Index, analyzing strategies for sustainable mobility, and comparing the results with similar cities. The results reveal a concerning situation in Campo Mourão, highlighting the need for corrective actions and strategic investments to improve the infrastructure and transportation services in the region. By calculating the Sustainable Urban Mobility Index and examining 87 distinct indicators, significant gaps in the city's urban mobility were identified. The comparison with Curitiba, an international reference in sustainable urban mobility, shows striking disparities, underscoring the need for targeted investments and policies to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urban transportation in Campo Mourão. To address these challenges, it is essential to promote investments in public transportation, cycling infrastructure, and sustainable urban planning policies. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider local specificities and population demands when formulating and implementing urban mobility policies and projects. Active community participation, stakeholder engagement, and public-private partnerships can be powerful tools to drive progress.
