Análise da influência dos planos diretores de Fortaleza na localização de armazéns logísticos

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the interaction between urban planning and the distribution of logistics warehouses in the city of Fortaleza, analyzing how urban planning guidelines influence the location of these facilities and contribute to the process of logistics expansion. Rapid population growth in urban areas demands an increasing movement of goods, essential for the daily functioning of cities, making the strategic location of logistics warehouses crucial for the efficiency of urban freight transport (UTC). The premise is that the relocation of warehouses in recent decades is influenced by a lack of coordination between urban planning and logistics systems, as well as guidelines that fail to ensure efficient accessibility to urban freight. Therefore, the research seeks to answer the central question: "How are logistics warehouse locations influenced by urban planning?" by analyzing the guidelines in Fortaleza's master plans and their relationship with warehouse locations, and consequently, accessibility in the context of freight. To this end, a systematic literature review is conducted to consolidate planning guidelines that may affect the distribution of these facilities. Next, we evaluate the application of these guidelines in master plans over time and their impact on warehouse locations. Finally, we seek to characterize changes in urban freight accessibility during the analyzed period, observing variations in observed locations and those proposed in master plans. This research provides valuable insights for integrating urban planning and logistics needs, aiming to optimize warehouse locations and develop more effective land use policies.
