Infraestrutura urbana para logística sustentável: proposta conceitual de diretrizes

Abstract

Considering that most of the Brazilian population is concentrated in urban centers and that these same urban centers are not self-sufficient, logistical activities related to urban supply gain prominence and importance. It is in this context that the research is inserted and had as its theme urban infrastructure for the sustainability of logistical operations. To this end, its general objective is to develop a conceptual proposal of guidelines for urban infrastructure for sustainable logistics in light of the sustainability dimensions, using its main concepts derived from the literature review. The research is justified by the impact of logistical activities on the sustainability of urban centers, by the perceived growth of the themes in research bases, however, in an isolated manner, making it necessary to combine these areas for the real analysis and understanding of the theme. The methodological approach used was Grounded Theory, with a constructivist focus, and the data were obtained exclusively through bibliographic research, using secondary data. The main result achieved was a set of seven guidelines, directly related to the dimensions of sustainability. This set of guidelines can be a decision-making tool for public managers, to identify, invest in, and maintain urban infrastructure só that logistical activities are carried out sustainably.
