A mobilidade urbana no bairro Nova Campo Grande em Campo Grande-MS

Abstract

Since the 1970s, the majority of the Brazilian population has lived in cities, which present a wide and complex range of problems, among which urban mobility stands out. The capacity and facility of moving around the city are essential elements for carrying out many daily activities. In this context, this study aims to characterize the urban mobility and accessibility situation in Nova Campo Grande neighborhood, located in the Imbirussu urban area of Campo Grande, the capital of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The methodological procedures used were: bibliographic research for theoretical foundation; the creation of maps using the free software QGIS and images from Google Earth Pro, Google Maps, and shapefiles provided by the Municipal Agency for Environmental and Urban Planning (PLANURB); search for observation and photographic documentation; administration of questionnaires to residents and workers in the neighborhood, assessing urban mobility and accessibility; and the organization of data into charts and/or graphs for analysis. The study concluded that urban mobility in the neighborhood needs significant improvement, as many residents reported difficulties with daily transportation, both within and outside the neighborhood. Despite the neighborhood beginning to develop in 1965, the urban infrastructure remains incomplete, notably lacking adequate paving and sidewalks, which negatively impacts the mobility of different resident profiles, regardless of the mode of transportation used. Issues related to public transportation—such as inadequate bus stops, excessively long intervals, and fare prices—also affect mobility in the Nova Campo Grande neighborhood, complicating the lives of its residents. The neighborhood's peripheral location, the predominantly working-class socioeconomic profile of its residents, and the low public investment in urban mobility and accessibility make this issue a daily challenge for those living in Nova Campo Grande.
