Para uma microssociologia do acidente e incidente de trânsito

Abstract

This article analyses recurrent accidents and incidents, traffic observed between pedestrians and motorists in the city of São Luís, Maranhão. The two social subjects are examined from a perspective microsociologic, to investigate the city’s dromocratics moments, reconstituted through information and observations of social scenes of urban mobility from the capital of Maranhão State. The research was made possible through the study of institutional data period 1995 to 2000 and supplemented with observations taken in some public places of this city in the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. Quantitative and qualitative analyses allowed a reflection on the ways and average social types existing in urban traffic routes ludovicense
