Mobilidade sustentável: avaliação multicritério da infraestrutura urbana nas áreas de estações do Plano Piloto de Brasília

Abstract

This study addresses sustainable mobility in Brasília's Pilot Plan, applying the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) methodology to evaluate urban infrastructure in areas near metro stations. The main objective was to identify and classify priority areas for urban redevelopment projects, considering the restrictions imposed by the heritage preservation of Brasília's urbanistic design. The methodology used was based on the DOTS 3.0 Quality Standard, which integrates criteria related to sustainable mobility, such as walking, cycling, public transportation, compacting and shifting. Data collection was carried out through georeferenced sources from Geoportal/DF, complemented by field observations. The study areas included seven metro stations in Asa Sul, covering a radius of 750 meters around each station, delimited by residential and commercial blocks. The results indicate that, although Brasília's original urban planning favoring motorized mobility, there is significant potential to promote sustainable transportation modes. The analyses identified deficiencies in sidewalk continuity, a lack of connected bike lanes, and insufficient bicycle parking, as well as limited integration between public transportation and pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure. The application of the DOTS methodology enabled the classification of areas most in need of intervention, highlighting the importance of prioritizing improvements in sidewalks, crossings and universal accessibility. Opportunities to increase residential and commercial density were also identified, fostering mixed land use and proximity between housing, work and leisure. The study concludes that the DOTS 3.0 multi-criteria model is an effective tool for guiding sustainable urban planning decisions, even in contexts with heritage preservation restrictions. This study reinforces the need for integrated strategies that consider the preservation of urbanistic heritage and the promotion of inclusive, safe, and environmentally responsible mobility.
