Efetivando o potencial sustentável das vias para ciclistas através de três categorias de atratividade

Abstract

The issue of sustainability is a global concern today. Avoiding the extraction of some natural resources combined with the non-extraction of others is an important issue in complex industrialized societies. It contributes to the implementation of more sustainable ways of life avoiding the environmental collapse of planet Earth by anthropic action in its various stages of development. In order to minimize the extraction of resources, changes in human behavior must occur in the various ways in which it interacts with the Earth. And one of them is directly related to bike paths. Concerning these routes, in general they are little used by the population, against the potential of use that they carry in themselves. Once their potential is better fulfilled they will be able to contribute more to the sustainability of the planet. And it is at this point that Traffic psychology combined with the engineering responsible for these cycling routes can make a significant contribution in a viable way. Through a study that covers both bicycles and their pathways as well as human psychology, we have found psychological aspects that can be combined with the engineering of these pathways. Taking all of this into consideration the present work proposes procedures to be taken into account.
