Espraiamento urbano e seus impactos nas desigualdades socioespaciais da acessibilidade ao trabalho em Fortaleza

Abstract

Urban sprawl is a phenomenon common in Brazilian metropolises. The high-income popula9on leads a process of socio-spa9al self-segrega9on which, together with the pe-ripheraliza9on of low-income segments, has contributed to aggravate the problem of inequali9es in accessibility to urban ac9vi9es. This exploratory research tried to inves9-gate the effects of residen9al urban sprawl on the levels of accessibility to job opportu-ni9es in Fortaleza, and how these effects impact unequally on dis9nct socioeconomic groups. For that, it was proposed a conceptual representa9on of such problems and their characteriza9on based on the defini9on and spa9al distribu9on of aggregated in-dicators of land use and accessibility to jobs. The results show different decentraliza9on processes by income group, with unequal and inequitable distribu9ons of access to job opportuni9es, configuring Fortaleza as a produc9on of two very dis9nct and segregated ci9es, one belonging to the rich and the other to the poor.
