For people with mobility constraints, the conditions offered by pedestrian environments are crucial for their ability to remain independent and self-sufficient. Mobility is also a key factor to maintain people actively involved in the community. Taking into account only the physical characteristics of urban spaces, the goal of the present work is to analyse the factors that limit the circulation of people with ...
A mobilidade urbana é um fator primordial para os planeadores urbanos e decisores no desenvolver da sua atividade, principalmente quando esta tem como objeto as viagens da população com mobilidade reduzida. No âmbito da realidade portuguesa, o presente trabalho avaliou se as características físicas de um determinado espaço urbano respeitam as exigências do Decreto-Lei 163/2006. Neste enquadramento foi ideal...
Tendo em conta a atual conjuntura económica dos municípios, uma gestão financeira eficiente poderá ser mais facilmente alcançada se forem identificadas as prioridades de futuros investimentos. Neste contexto, a classificação da rede viária municipal em função da sinistralidade é fundamental na definição de prioridades de intervenção. O presente trabalho, apresenta um modelo de classificação de rede viária em...
O trabalho apresenta o resultado da aplicação de um método de avaliação da acessibilidade, com estudo de caso na região do Baixo Amazonas, Estado do Pará, na região Norte do Brasil. O modelo empregado permitiu gerar mapas de acessibilidade às atividades básicas produtoras de viagens em ambiente georeferenciado, em cada um dos cinco municípios estudados. Para uma análise regional foi também efetuado um mapa com ...
The main purpose of this paper is to identify the pattern of urban growth from 1993 to 2011 in Siem reap town, Cambodia. Land use and land cover maps were generated from Landsat TM imageries from different years in order to extract the information related to urban sprawl. The settlement pattern theory, geographic pattern analysis and visualisation interpretation were used to detect the pattern of urban growth i...
The main objective of this paper is to describe a methodology to estimate in which directions of urban expansion can occur in Siem Reap town, Cambodia. Three main urban driving force factors were identified: population density, distance to road networks, and distance to existing urban. Geographic Information System based multicriteria approaches were integrated to implement this research model. Fuzzyfication pr...
Road traffic is the main source of air pollutant emissions in urban areas. Pollutant emissions can be evaluated and calculated using mathematical models based on the characteristics of traffic flowing in roads. This article aims to assess the air pollution produced by a fleet of vehicles with conventional (diesel and petrol) and electrical (hybrid and electric) motorization, in the city centre of Braga. The sci...
Mobility is pointed as a key issue to urban planners and managers. In particular the case of pedestrians with mobility constraints implies considering specific parameters. The goal of the present work is to analyse factors that limit the circulation of people with mobility constraints and to map those conditions in central urban spaces. Taking into account only the physical characteristics of urban spaces, the ...
Nowadays, pedestrian mobility is regarded as a key issue to urban planners since several studies have pointed it as an influential factor to the quality of life in central city areas. Consequently, walking conditions must be evaluated and some measures should be taken whenever the results show inappropriate implementations. This concern increases when focusing on the movement of people with mobility constraints...
The main goal of the paper is to present an accessibility evaluation model for the urban area of Santarém, in Brazil. Located midway between the larger cities of Belém and Manaus, Santarém plays a crucial role in the region of Lower Amazonia. The paper describes the research instruments, sampling method and data analysis proposed for mapping urban accessibility. Basic activities (education, health, services, le...
