As centralidades urbanas e a mobilidade individual motorizada em Belo Horizonte/MG

Abstract

Transportation systems are crucial to the structuring of space, and are strongly related to the process of formation and consolidation of urban centers. Therefore, there is an interdependence between the growth of the urban fabric and the demand for mobility, so that deficiencies in these systems directly interfere with economic activities and the daily mobility of the population. Based on geoprocessing tools and using the proposed spatial analysis indicators, we sought to analyze the power of attraction of motorized and individual trips of urban centers in the city of Belo Horizonte, comparing data extracted from the last two Origin and Destination (OD) surveys. In general, the empirical evidence presented does not confirm the hypothesis of decentralization. Although some centers have gained relevance in the local and regional scenario, the central area of ​​the capital of Minas Gerais has not shown a significant loss of its power of attraction for trips.
