Análise sistêmica do modo ativo: a busca pela priorização da acessibilidade ativa nas centralidades urbanas

Abstract

The urbanization process in Brazil focused on individual motorized transport, strengthening the urban sprawl, the dispersed and disconnected spatial structure. This situation disfavors the mode of active displacements, walking and cycling. Recently, the scope of scientific research on sustainable mobility has been strengthened in academia and public policy. That said, this work deals with the new scientific paradigm, based on the General Systems Theory, which makes it possible to analyze mobility as a system, evidencing the integrality of the phenomenon from the interactions between its subsystems and elements of composition. Therefore, the active mode is characterized as a subsystem, with specific elements and interactions, which are related to the whole of urban mobility. From the National Urban Mobility Policy, which establishes the prioritization of the active mode, the construction of this system becomes relevant, since it makes it possible to understand the mutual interactions of the elements and with the external environment, so that public policies are more assertive in the prioritize active accessibility. As a methodology, a bibliographic review, a systematic review were used and, from the systemic analysis, the active mode system was built and its structures identified. As the main result, it was found that the prioritization of active accessibility is conditioned to the integration of the active mode system, that is, the elements of transport, land use and management. Moreover, it turned out that there are structures in the system that can be triggered by public policy stimuli.
