Análise da percepção dos usuários de transporte sobre a mobilidade urbana: uma proposta a partir de dados obtidos remotamente

Abstract

The present work proposes a methodology for obtaining data remotely regarding urban mobility and accessibility, considering the perception of transport users in Fortaleza about their daily commutes. Since digital tools have facilitated and streamlined the connection between people, online platforms appear as a less expensive alternative to data collection in the context of opinion polls. The traditional door-to-door collection method takes a lot of time and resources to perform and is often financially unviable. In this research, from a questionnaire applied virtually, it was possible to identify factors perceived by the population concerning to urban transport systems that they use daily, which led to gather problems related to these systems, considering the frequencies that the problems were mentioned by the responders. Despite limitations faced in the divulgation and application processes of the questionnaire, the results obtained were representative. Therefore, this evidences that collect data remotely can act as an important research methodology in a scenario of technological advances, which demands the dynamization of processes such as opinion polls. The use of online questionnaires allows the systematic collection of information, to create continuous databases about changes in the commute profiles in cities, which can help in the urban planning process.
