| Resumo: | The walkability and the concern with the human scale has been gaining prominence
with the emergence of the debate regarding sustainable cities and the improvement of
the quality of urban life. Walking is the main mode of transportation carried out in
Brazilian cities. However, the current way of planning cities leads to the subordination
of urban space to the automobile's logic. Walkability is a feature that allows us to
understand how much the built environment encourages walking or not, reflecting on
the choice of routes when traveling on foot. Thus, the current paper aims at the relation
between walkability and the built environment and how can the quality of this
environment influence the choice to walking. In this regard, how does the built
environment influence the walking conditions in the city of Mossoró/RN? Furthermore,
what characteristics of the built environment determine the choice of pedestrian routes
when traveling on foot? This research features a qualitative study considering the Case
Study as an investigation method covering primary data from field data collection. The
methodological's approach is arranged into three stages: the measurement of the built
environment's attributes; mapping of pedestrian behavior patterns; and an overview of
the empirical data collected in a thematic maps' series, in order to provide a visual
panorama of the issue studied in space. Lastly, the correlation of walkability and the
pedestrian movements will provide insights to understanding the influence of the built
environment on walking. |
