Abstract

The problem of mobility has several population’s debates, mainly with the mobilizations of 2013, as the progressive increase of cities and circulation in the space of large cities appears. In recent years, a neoliberal logic has also been revealed to solve urban mobility deficits in Brazilian cities. Unveiling a field of dispute, multiple interests between the actors involved will intervene: Civil Society and Municipalities. The Salvador city followed this transformation segment, the urban city in the mobility segment quickly and presented new modalities of different regions of the city, Metro, BRT and LRV / Monorail. The latter is the object of analysis of this dissertation. That said, the present work aims to present the process of consultation with the community around the public policy of replacing the rail system (in turn, it founded and structured the neighborhoods in its surroundings, as well as its rules, habits and culture since the installation of the road of Calçada-Paripe in 1860), for the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project of the Light Rail Vehicle (LRV), of the Government of Bahia. The research sought to: identify and analyze the social impacts of the LRV/Monorail project in Subúrbio Ferroviário; follow the process of decommissioning the old suburban train; as influences of urban mobility in the real partner organization of Subúrbio Ferroviário de Salvador and; in the dynamics of mobility, the project that will affect urban change in occupation, spatial production, reproduction and modification of these urban spaces. From the methodological point of view, the research refers to a qualitative approach, using different data collection tools: direct observation, information collection, audiovisual data and documental research.
