Avaliação da metodologia de potencial TOD - Transit Oriented Development: subsídios para o planejamento integrado do transporte e uso do solo em áreas de favela e comunidades urbanas latino-americanas

Abstract

Transit Oriented Development - TOD, represents a sustainable urban approach aimed not only at reducing dependence on individual transportation, but also at promoting densification and diversification of land use, prioritizing non-motorized modes of transportation, especially around medium and high-capacity public transit stations. However, many areas in Latin American slums, despite significant demand for quality public transportation, often face deficiencies in adequate urban infrastructure and land use planning. In this context, this study proposes to assess the feasibility of applying the Potential TOD methodology as a tool to support integrated transportation and land use planning in these areas, aiming to induce sustainable patterns of mobility and urban development. Using Multicriteria Analysis and geoprocessing in a Geographic Information System - GIS, a Potential TOD synthesis map was developed for the Subúrbio Ferroviário of Salvador, Bahia. The results obtained from this map enable better guidance for enhancing urban land value and access to quality public transportation, significantly contributing to promoting the right to the city, based on urban intervention guidelines established in the City Statute and TOD principles. Despite challenges in implementing the Transit Oriented Development approach due to inadequate government policies, this study provides a consistent method to promote continuous learning in urban planning and stimulate future research to address gaps in the application of Potential TOD in slums.
