Dissertação (Mestrado em Projeto e Cidade) - Faculdade de Artes Visuais, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2023.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/13121Collective public transport systems in Brazil faced a persistent crisis, which led to the loss of more than 50% of the demand for passengers transported between 1994 and 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic aggravated this scenario and even compromised the provision of this essential service to the urban population in some cities. In addition, the pandemic period exposed the fragility of sectoral policies, such as the costing model in which transport systems were anchored over the years, identified as one of the main factors of the low reliability and quality of service observed by passengers. Given this context, this research aims to understand the complexity involved in public transport systems, highlighting the demand for transported passengers and their relationship with the socioeconomic characteristics of municipalities. As a working hypothesis, it was assumed that these socioeconomic characteristics influenced the behavior of demand during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Metropolitan Region of Goiânia was adopted as a case study, which houses the Metropolitan Public Transport Network, with all its characteristics that make it relevant at the national level. As a methodology, it was decided to manipulate the thematic maps in a software of geographic information systems (GIS) and, subsequently, analyzes were elaborated from tables and dispersion graphs, using Pearson's statistical correlation. The results obtained were surprising, since it was not possible to prove the hypothesis raised, to the same extent that it showed the need to carry out more studies and research on the behavior of the demand for transported passengers.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalTransporte público coletivo por ônibusDemandaPandemia de covid-19Características socioeconômicasRegião Metropolitana de GoiâniaCollective public transport by busDemandCovid-19 pandemicSocioeconomic characteristicsMetropolitan Region of GoiâniaCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ARQUITETURA E URBANISMODissertação
