Caminhabilidade: análise no entorno de estações do Mmtrô de Salvador – Ba

Abstract

This work comprises a master's dissertation presented to the Postgraduate Program in Architecture and Urbanism of the Federal University of Bahia (PPGAU / UFBA) and seeks to evaluate the walkability around two stations of line 1 of the Salvador subway. The stations Brotas and Bonocô were chosen because of their similar characteristics (located on the Mário Leal Ferreira valley avenue) and different (the implantation in urban space). The methodology adopted is to evaluate stretches of sidewalks from eight walkability criteria (organized in a table), encompassing three basic qualities: attractiveness, comfort and safety for the pedestrian along the route. The results obtained allowed to understand how the urban planning of the city occurs and the way the pedestrian is inserted within its displacements. The objective of this work is to help municipal urban management to improve walking conditions in the capital of Bahia.
